The words say:

The most life cannot be said, Danqing is difficult to paint, and there are many tribulations. The east wind blows down the poplar dream, and the autumn rain is cold and the birds are in the hole.

The song is like crying, and the crying is like a song. The years are like water, and it is easy to waste. Hengbo used to be like electricity in his eyes, and he sighed helplessly when he burst into tears. - "Partridge Days"

It is said that on that day, in the Xijing Khan Palace, Murong Juan talked about the dream of the night and the hexagram occupied by Tianming, and said that he was uneasy.

When Murong Chan heard this, she couldn't help but worry and asked, "Sister, which hexagram did you occupy?"

Murong Juan said: "Sister, what I have is a hexagram and a trip to the mountains. ”

Murong Chan said: "Sister, I also understand a little bit about Lianshan Mathematics and Physics, why don't we study it together, carefully push it and see what the result is, okay?"

So the sisters went to study the hexagram together, in order to ask Li Shijun about the good fortune. The two of them participated in the research for a long time, and Murong Chan said:

"Sister, according to my opinion, this hexagram is really fortunate in misfortune - this hexagram has become a mountain of difficulties, according to its words and numbers, there is a glimmer of life. I think my sister may have been too worried and neglected this glimmer of life. I expect Shijun to be a big murderer, but his life is not in danger. ”

Murong Juan heard this and said, "Yes, sister, I was flustered for a while, and I didn't count this. Sister, let's calculate and calculate!"

So the two of them carefully studied the hexagram they occupied, and according to the number of hexagrams, Murong Chan said firmly:

"Sister, Shijun must have a safe life, I just want him to come home, but it is not something that can be seen in the near future, judging from the large number of this hexagram, it will not be less than nine years, and it will be postponed for another eight months. All in all, it took 10 years! Alas, what the hell is going on?"

When Murong Juan heard this, she also sighed and was speechless.

Murong Juan was about to go back to the Kaiping Palace, and Murong Chan said: "Sister, why don't you leave today, let's stay in the palace for a few days! ”

Murong Juan nodded. Not long after, a small chamberlain reported: The two queen mothers are here - it turned out that Li Shijian's second mother, that is, Li Shijun's biological mother, heard that her daughter-in-law came from Kaiping Palace, and immediately came, and the other mother couldn't sit still, so they came together.

At the beginning of December 8, the Murong sisters and the two queen mothers were chatting over tea, and Wang Zheng asked to see them.

The two queen mothers were naturally concerned about the naming of their grandsons, so they asked: "Wang Zheng, have you chosen the names of the little prince and the little prince?"

Wang Zheng hurriedly saluted and said: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the name given to the little prince by our lord Khan is 'Li Taiping', and the name given to the little prince by the prince of Kaiping is 'Li Kaiping'. ”

After Wang Zheng replied to the words of the two queen mothers, the Murong sisters continued to ask: "Wang Zheng, how is the situation of the battle between the Khan Emperor and the Kaiping prince against the red-haired Hulags?"

Wang Zheng hesitated and said: "Back to the imperial concubine Niangniang, the princess Niangniang, the Khan Emperor is now stationed at the foot of Qinglong Mountain, and the Kaiping prince is in Qinglong Mountain." ”

The Murong sisters and the two queen mothers asked, "What's the matter?

Wang Zhengdao: "This, the minister really doesn't know the specifics. ”

When Murong Chan heard this, he reprimanded: "Bold! Isn't this palace a person who doesn't know the battle array? If you come from the army, you will know the affairs of the army! Okay, you Wang Zheng, you actually said that you don't know the specific situation, presumably you have something to hide! Could it be that your Wang Zheng's head is much longer and he is not afraid of cutting it? Don't you tell me the truth?"

When Wang Zheng heard this, his face changed, and the sweat brushed the ground at that time!

When the two queen mothers saw it, they also knew that there must be a mystery in it, and at that time, the two queen queens also asked: "Wang Zheng, you tell the truth, otherwise, we will not spare you!"

Wang Zheng wiped his sweat and said: "Back to the Queen Mother and the ladies, the prince of Kaiping went to Qinglong Mountain to pursue Nahulags, and somehow disappeared! ”

As soon as Wang Zheng said this, Li Shijian's aunt, the second mother, the two queen mothers, and the Murong sisters all stood up at that time and asked together: "Shijun, he is missing, what is the situation?"

Wang Zheng said with a sad face: "The situation that the minister heard in the army is that on the morning of December 5, the red-haired soldiers attacked Longshou Mountain, and our army then moved the whole army and defeated more than 100,000 red-haired soldiers of Hulagus in a battle.

Hulagus fled to Qinglong Mountain, and the prince of Kaiping went up the mountain to pursue, and when he was about to catch Hulagus, suddenly a red light flashed, and the prince of Kaiping fell off the cliff of Snow Ridge in the red light!

This matter was at the end of the afternoon, and this specific time was said by the prince's personal guards. ”

Hearing this, Murong Juan fell backwards and sat down in the chair.

Murong Chan and the two queen mothers hurriedly came to comfort Murong Juan. Wang Zheng saw the Queen Mother waving her hand and immediately withdrew.

The two queen mothers also had tears in their eyes at this time. Murong Chan said, "Sister." The two queen mothers, don't be sad, the poet's face does not seem to be short-lived! What's more, sister, we also carefully studied a hexagram the day before yesterday, the poet must only be temporarily killed, and his life will be fine, sister, the two queen mothers, you are all optimistic!"

Murong Juan wiped away her tears and said, "Queen Mother, sister, I want to go to Qinglong Mountain!"

When the two queen mothers heard this, they said: "Son, what can you do if you go to Qinglong Mountain? What's more, after you go, who will Xiao Kaiping give to take you?"

Murong Juan said: "Give it to the nurses." ”

The two queen mothers said: "No, you haven't had a full moon yet!"

As a result, the two queen mothers and the Murong sisters on the capital side were restless, and kept sending messengers from the palace to Qinglong Mountain to inquire about the news.

But it was said that on this side of Qinglong Mountain, Li Shijian and Xu Wenhu led 40,000 horses and horses, looking for and looking for them on Qinglong Mountain, in the area of the Snow Ridge cliff, but they only ended up miserable and miserable, where is the shadow of Li Shijun?

——It was on December 6, after the three armies were drawn, Li Shijian led the crowd up to Qinglong Mountain and came to the Snow Ridge Cliff, and Xu Wenhu had already come to greet him.

Speaking of finding Li Shijun, Xu Wenhu said: "Senior Brother Khan, I have already sent someone to go down to the bottom of this snowy cliff to see, and I haven't seen the slightest trace of falling off the cliff!"

When Li Shijian heard this, he was also stunned, and said: "My brother is in such a situation, I will go back to the capital, alas, it is not good to see the two queen mothers, and it is not good to see Princess Murong and Princess Kaiping!"

Xu Wenhu said: "Senior Brother Khan, since this is the case, why don't you take advantage of the foolish brother and the whereabouts of Senior Brother Bu Shijun?"

Li Shijian said: "Senior brother, when I learned art with my teacher, I really didn't pay attention to the way of divination, and since my senior brother wants to divination, then divination." ”

Xu Wenhu said: "If it is a teacher's ability, you should be able to know with a hexagram." It's just that I can't look at the teacher's back for the number of mountains! In this way, I will seek to occupy it by the method of supporting the beggars, and ask the immortals for instructions, and it will be correct. ”

Li Shijian sighed: "Senior brother, you can watch it." It seems that in the future, I will also have to learn yin and yang mathematics. ”

So, in the Chinese army tent of the Taiping Khan Emperor, Li Shijian and Xu Wenhu retreated from everyone, and Xu Wenhu began to help him.

At the beginning, Xu Wenhu closed his eyes and did not move, and after a short half an hour, Xu Wenhu suddenly opened and closed his eyes half-open, and did not look at the beggar, but he took the pen and worked hard to write!

After a while, the pen stopped, Xu Wenhu's eyes were closed, and his body fell backwards at the same time. Li Shijian hurriedly helped him up, helped him to a chair and sat down, and waited for him to wake up.

Not long after, Xu Wenhu opened his eyes and said to Li Shijian: "Senior Brother of the Khan Emperor, what does the instructions of the Immortal say?"

Li Shijian said: "Senior brother, you were shaking just now, I helped you over and sat down, and I haven't had time to look at it until you wake up." ”

Xu Wenhu said: "That being the case, Senior Brother Khan, let's take a look together." ”

So the two of them came to see the contents of the book on the plate, only to see the fairy criticize:

The snow is cold and cold as a cocoon, and he is also cultivating immortals in the red dust. Hongchen has not been seen for ten years, and the cultivation of immortals still belongs to the emperor.

The two participated in the study for a long time, and Xu Wenhu took the lead and said: "Senior Brother Khan, it seems that Senior Brother Shijun's life is fine, but I am afraid that no one will be able to see him in ten years!"

Li Shijian said: "Being in Hongchen is also cultivating immortals, this is about my brother being saved by immortals, so he is in Hongchen, but he is cultivating immortals." It's just that what kind of place is the Emperor's Heaven? Could it be that I'm talking about the Taiping Khanate?"

Xu Wenhu said: "The younger brother of the Emperor Khan is reasonable, you are the Emperor of the Taiping Khan, and you have the word 'Taihuang', it seems that after ten years, you will be able to see the senior brother of Shijun cultivating immortals and returning safely!"

Li Shijian said: "Hey, although the fairy has made such an instruction, however, it is not good for me to take this back and explain to the two queen mothers and the Murong sisters after all!"

When Xu Wenhu heard this, he also felt that it was difficult to speak, and for a while, there was silence in the big tent.

After all, Li Shijian was unwilling, so the army continued to search the mountains for days. After more than ten days in a row, everyone's intentions gradually faded, but Li Shijian and Xu Wenhu's hearts became more and more popular-

In the area of the Snow Ridge Cliff, almost every inch of the snow slope cliff was opened by 40,000 people to see it, and Li Shijian, Xu Wenhu and the army were only helpless.

Seeing the December 23 of the fourth year of the Taiping Khan Emperor's Kaiping, Xu Wenhu said: "Senior Brother of the Khan, tomorrow will be the New Year, and a few days will be the New Year.

Before Li Shijian could answer, he heard the sound of horses' hooves suddenly coming from outside the big tent.

Li Shijian and Xu Wenhu didn't know who was so bold and dared to storm in the camp of the Khan Emperor, so they came out to take a look together, and saw a female general, dressed in red clothes - isn't it Murong Juan, the princess of Kaiping!

Behind Murong Juan, at the gate of the camp, dozens of female soldiers and guards all dismounted at the gate of the camp and led the Mawang Khan Emperor's tent.

Murong Juan arrived on the horse, and when she saw Li Shijian and Xu Wenhu, she jumped off the horse and was about to salute, Li Shijian said: "Sister doesn't have to be polite! When you see me, you don't need to use court etiquette." ”

Murong Juan wanted to give a salute to Xu Wenhu again, Xu Wenhu hurriedly bowed first, and said: "The princess is not a mother, the ministers have seen the princess Niangniang!"

Murong Juan said: "Brother Khan, Senior Brother Xu, Shijun, really there is no news, and I can't find it?"

Xu Wenhu hurriedly said: "Don't be sad, princess, please take care!"

Li Shijian also said: "Let's go to the big tent and sit down first." On a cold day, my sister went to the tent first to warm up and warm up. ”

So, the three of them entered the account. Sit down.

Murong Juan said slowly: "Brother Khan, Brother Xu, if you can't find any trace of Shijun, you can go back to Beijing, when I come, the two queen mothers also asked me to tell you, hurry back to Beijing for a reunion, it's almost the New Year." ”

Speaking of the word reunion, Murong Juan's tone was quiet.

Li Shijian didn't know what to say, so he only said: "Well, it's good that the queen mother is fine." ”

Xu Wenhu said: "Princess Niangniang, the day before yesterday, together with the younger brother of the Emperor Khan, I used the method of supporting the beggar, and asked the immortal to make it clear, saying that the senior brother of Shijun is now alive and well, and he was rescued by the immortal and taught him to cultivate immortals." ”

Xu Wenhu's words were also intended to comfort Murong Juan. I didn't want Murong Juan to hear it, so she sighed faintly and said, "Brother Khan, Brother Xu, you can't find any trace of Shijun, I also heard about it in the capital."

If you don't see Shijun's corpse here, then you must be still alive, but you don't know where you went.

My sister and I also divined a hexagram in the palace of the capital, and my sister and I calculated that Shijun should not die, but he would not be able to return home after at least nine years and eight months.

Since Brother Xu is using Fu Ping to occupy it, it should be more accurate, but the immortal criticism, the language is not very easy to understand, why don't you ask Brother Xu to tell the little sister the criticism of the fairy, and then point out to the little sister?"

Xu Wenhu said: "What the fairy said is four lines of poetry, and I can't understand it thoroughly. These four verses of the poem say this: 'The snow is cold and cold ice is a cocoon, and the body is also a cultivator in the red dust. Hongchen has not been seen for ten years, and the cultivation of immortals still belongs to the emperor. 'I wonder what my sister thinks?'

When Murong Juan heard this, she couldn't help but ask, "Which immortal did Brother Xu invite?"

Xu Wenhu said: "I invited the Great Immortal of Destiny." ”

Murong Juan said: "Since it is a great immortal of fate, the instructions must be approved." It seems that according to the four verses of the poem, the poet's life is fine, but he will not be able to come back until many years later. ”

After saying this, the three of them were speechless for a while.

Li Shijian looked at Xu Wenhu, Xu Wenhu looked at Li Shijian, and he didn't know how to speak. It was Murong Juan who broke the suffocating silence and said quietly:

"Since this is the case, the eldest brother of the Khan and the eldest brother of Xu don't have to look for it anymore, and the queen mother asked the eldest brother of the Khan to return to Beijing as soon as possible to prepare for the New Year. ”

When Li Shijian heard this, a trace of uneasiness suddenly arose in his heart, and he felt ashamed-

Think about the younger brother for the Taiping Khanate, born and died, fought in the south and the north, and saw the exorcism of the red-haired soldiers, the world was peaceful, but the younger brother disappeared because of the pursuit of Hulagus! As the emperor of the Khan, it is difficult to explain to the two queen mothers!

However, it is really unnecessary to stay here in Qinglong Mountain; after returning to Beijing, it is not easy to face, and you will have to face it in the end! So Li Shijian nodded and said:

"Okay, let's go back to Beijing. ”

At noon on December 28, the fourth year of the Taiping Khan's Kaiping, the Taiping Khan's car arrived at Xijing Tiantong Mansion, but when he saw that the city was empty, people came to welcome his Khan.

The hundred officials of the imperial court had already arrived outside the north gate and lined up to greet the car. Ning Cheng played: "My lord Emperor Khan, the people in the city, all want to see the dragon face of the Emperor Khan, please ask my Lord Emperor Khan to decide!"

Li Shijian said: "Well, you can!"

He Ning Cheng guarded the city gate and said: "Order the people along the street to only stay on both sides of the street, and not to block the car to drive the road!"

Ning Cheng said to Li Shijian again: "My lord Emperor Khan, please give the order to enter the city!"

Li Shijian nodded slightly, and Ning Cheng shouted: "The Khan Emperor's car is driving into ——!the city!"

When boarding, on the north city gate, a group of teachers and musicians played.

When Li Shijian heard this song, wasn't it his own "Taiping Song of the Taiping Khan Emperor", but it was Cuigu who composed this song at the beginning!

Li Shijian had mixed feelings in his heart.

At this time, the car had entered the city, and on both sides of the street, all the people shouted: Long live our lord Khan!

Although Li Shijian sighed in his heart, he was not only worried about Li Shijun's disappearance, but also sad about Cuigu's departure, and ashamed that it was difficult to see the two queen mothers and Murong sisters, but at this time, Li Shijian had to face all the people!

So Li Shijian tried to smile.

At that time, Li Shijian held the chariot with his left hand, waved his right hand to both sides of the street, and shouted in his mouth: "Long live the Taiping Khanate! Long live the peace of the world! Long live the people of the peace!"

All of a sudden, the people on both sides of the street were unmoved and shouted even louder, "Long live the Taiping Khanate!" Long live the peace of the world! Long live our lord Khan!

Among them, there are even people who have been injured by the war, and they are so excited that they shed tears while shouting long live!

Li Shijian's eyes were also a little damp, so he looked at the car, but saw that the street was open, and on both sides were the forbidden army of the Khan Emperor, with two steps and a group of two, each group of two, standing facing each other, holding halberds in their hands, and only looking at the car in their eyes.

Behind the soldiers of the Emperor Khan's forbidden army were the people of the capital, crowded on both sides of the street, all raising their arms and shouting, but no one crossed the forbidden army column, which did not affect the car in the slightest.

The speed of the car was not very fast, and it took nearly an hour from the north gate to the palace of the Khan. When Li Shijian's car arrived at the Khan Imperial Palace, it was already about noon, and it was close to the end of the day.

At this time, on both sides of the palace gate, a salute rang out.

Li Shijian packed up his mood and got out of the car, only to see that the two queen mothers and the imperial concubine Murong Chan were already waiting in the door!

Li Shijian greeted his eldest aunt, second mother, the two queen mothers and his own imperial concubine, and saluted first. When the family met, Li Shijian actually had a thousand words in his chest, but he didn't know where to start.

The two queen mothers both said: "Son, go back to the palace and talk!"
