Chapter 6 Our Paths
"Actually, the great change in Yunlan you are talking about is no longer a war, and our opponent and we are not at the same level at all, so defeat is almost inevitable. Among the people who died, not counting the few soldiers, my father was counted as one, he died for the country, and I was very proud of him. There was another person, who also died. Zhao Tianzuo silently stroked his chest, "But he is the most unworthy person." Speaking of this, Zhao Tianzuo glanced back at Xiao Zhang, and although he maintained an expressionless appearance, he was still greatly shocked. Maybe it's the passage of time that washes away the pain, when Zhao Tianzuo said these words, he didn't feel much pain, "As for the others, maybe they are all alive, but there are very few people who are as obsessed as you." ”
"As for me, after you passed out that day, I met a man who saved me and you, otherwise you wouldn't be here now. After this person settled down with you, he took me out of Yunlan Country. Later, he became my master, and his name was Youhu.
He is a very clever person, but his cultivation is not strong. He died not long ago, in order to defend me. Zhao Tianzuo didn't seem to be talking to anyone, but like a dream, he hadn't said these words hidden in his heart for a long time, and he couldn't stop.
"The master told me that the original enemy was not the army we imagined, but a powerful monk, and he wiped out almost all of our army alone, and my master happened to be a guest in Yunlan, and saw this incident and felt compassion, so he quietly saved us, but ......"
"But he can save me once, but he can't save me every time. Actually, he didn't have to stand up for me, because I really made mistakes. ”
Zhao Tianzuo wiped away the tears on his face and looked back at Xiao Zhang, "Maybe you don't believe it, this is the first time I've cried in so many years, and I won't be in the future." The master is no longer there, all life depends on ourselves, whether it is right or wrong, we have to face it bravely. But maybe he's right, that's our own path. Father's, eldest brother's, third's, mine, sister's. ”
"And-" Zhao Tianyou's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Yours." ”
The night in the mountains is always long, but even the longest night is always over.
The rising light finally shone from the peaks at the southeast foot of Liaoshan Mountain to the site of Yunlan Palace, and Xiao Zhang's closed eyes shook with the stimulation of the daylight, and slowly opened. Looking around, there was no second prince, it seemed that last night's encounter was just a dream caused by his thoughts, but when his hand touched his arms, he knew that everything last night was real, looking at a delicate black jade tail ring on his open palm and a letter of recommendation with his name already written on it, Xiao Zhang fell into deep thought.
He remembered everything the second prince told him, the story he told, and the use of the recommendation he advised, although he had been standing beside the second prince without saying a word, but he knew that the second prince understood what he meant, and between them, the already familiar could not be more familiar, but he couldn't figure out how he fell asleep while standing, and slept until the sun rose.
It must have been done by the second prince with a spell in order to avoid the sentimentality of parting, Xiao Zhang thought so. This is Xiao Zhang's firm thought, although there is a big discrepancy in the facts, but Xiao Zhang is also a person who has no hesitation, so he believes it so firmly. So he doesn't think about it anymore.
Looking around, the wreckage of the Yunlan Palace's Ancient Palace was still lying quietly, like a dead huge beast, the place where Xiao Zhang stood was exactly the end of it, if the people who had lived in the Yunlan Palace looked at it, they would find that the place where he was standing was the sleeping palace of the original second prince.
"From today on, my name is Zhang Shijie. With the tail ring and recommendation in hand, Xiao Zhang took a step forward and set off towards the "Far North" in the mouth of the second prince.
At the same time, at the southern foot of Liaoshan Mountain, a team of more than 50 people is marching towards this place. The first is a middle-aged man with a white face and beard, dressed in fine clothes, and at first glance he is a commanding master, who is sitting on an open sedan chair and taking a leisurely nap. However, walking on the mountain road in a sedan chair is not a comfortable thing, so he is very depressed. Looking back at the neat ironclad guards behind him, he couldn't get angry, "Whoever is that, you come over for me!!"
The two attendants beside him shrunk their necks and pulled their horses back, getting out of the way.
In the first column of the guards dressed in unified iron armor, a sturdy man with an unremarkable appearance and iron armor walked to the side of the sedan chair and bowed down and said: "Liu Xiang, what is Liu Xiang's command?"
"Commander Gao, I, Liu Qidan, am just biased, you can't scream nonsense, so that Zhao Guang hears it, don't you think I have the idea of transgression? As he said, this man in Chinese clothes is called Liu Qidan, and his identity is actually the partial phase of Moyun Kingdom, and he is also the younger brother of the current queen - the only uncle of Moyun Kingdom.
Commander Gao didn't panic when he heard the words of this partial phase, "Xiang Liu, how can Zhao Guang compare with you, this phase is not already yours." I heard that the emperor has issued a secret order, Zhao Guangyuan left the Houtu Kingdom, he is gone, this important task of governing Moyun, who can afford it except you. ”
"Well, what you said is not bad, but it's a pity that-haha-" While enjoying the compliment of Commander Gao, this Liu Bixiang suddenly realized that he almost lost his words and said that he coveted the princess's thoughts, so he covered it up for a while, but fortunately suddenly thought of a new topic, "Commander Gao, you said yesterday that the existing plank road of this Yunlan Kingdom can only reach the front of the palace, and the back is abandoned and cannot be walked?"
"Yes, my lord, so if you want to go to Yangxin Peak, you may need to place the horse sedan chair and other things at the Yunlan Ancient Palace, and the rest of the way will need to walk. ”
"Well, yes, anyway, I've been tossed by you enough today, it doesn't matter if I have more, as long as I can see Zhao Guang. Liu Qidan looked a little helpless, "Then again, how could Commander Gao be so familiar with this great Liao Mountain?"
Commander Gao said with a smile on his face: "Don't tell you that fifteen years ago, the villain was also a member of the coalition army, and he followed the old general to Yunlan. ”
"Oh. Liu Qitan suddenly understood something, smiled at Gao Tong, who had never been very pleasing to the eye, and nodded.
The High Commander arched his body in understanding, and Rama returned to his ranks.
The team of more than fifty people gradually walked towards the Yunlan Ancient Palace, but they didn't notice that behind a mountain rock not far away, a pair of eyes showed a deep chill in their eyes. Although he already knew the true situation of Yunlan's great change, Zhang Shijie was still furious at what he had just heard, if it wasn't for the order of the second prince, he really wanted to rush out and fight to the death with them. But after thinking about it, he suddenly felt a little strange, Yun Languo seemed to be very lively this year, but in previous years, there had never been so many people, especially the second prince who had disappeared for more than ten years, could other people also appear? Zhang Shijie decided to go back and take a look. So he quietly embellished behind Liu Qidan's party.
Two hours later, this mighty group of people walked through Anshen Peak, where Nian Village was located, and came to the former site of the Yunlan Kingdom Palace, but they did not find Nian Village, because it was far away from the plank road.
After another two hours, they finally reached the Yangxin Peak in the friction of Liu Qidan's three steps and two steps, during which they left a special vitality for the Yunlan Imperial Palace. Including Liu Qidan's scolding of the palanquin driver, the whispers of people during the break, and the neighing of the horses left behind.
By the time they arrived at Yangtian Pond, it was already dark. Zhao Guang in the stone pile stood quietly, in fact, the voice of this group of people had already reached his ears, especially Liu Qidan's harsh voice, which he was very familiar with.
When the haggard Liu Qidan finally came to Zhao Guang, Zhao Guang smiled: "Liu Bixiang, what kind of wind blew you here?"
Under the light of the torch, Liu Qidan's face was covered with sweat particles that had not yet been wiped off, and he tried to catch his breath, although he was more embarrassed at this time, but who was more embarrassed for a while? Liu Qidan's thinking and thinking smiled, he controlled his breathing, and said in a condensed voice: "Moyun Prime Minister Zhao Guang takes the order. ”
He immediately received a decree from the attendant behind him.
Zhao Guang knelt down with his sleeves brushed, his face calm.
"My emperor's holy metaphor: Zhao Xiang works hard for the country, and occasionally has wild interests, which is really right, and I should be sympathetic. How can the state affairs be complicated, it is difficult to support oneself, and it is necessary to town the country in the capital, so I ask Zhao Xiang to participate in the ten-year 'guidance of the country' for me. In addition, "Liu Qidan's expression began to be serious, his tone was subdued, and then he was overjoyed, but as he read it, his expression suddenly became richer, and his voice gradually stopped.
"Liu Bixiang, what else is written on the holy decree?" Zhao Guang asked.
Obviously, Liu Qidan had not opened this holy decree beforehand, so he was full of doubts about what he was about to read, "There must be no mistake in the fact that Liu Qidan and the fifty members of the temple guards are escorted. ”
After thanking the emperor, Zhao Guang got up and took Liu Qidan's holy decree, "Then thank Liu Bixiang for his long journey, and thank you for the escort after this." Liu Qidan, who had questions in front of him, nodded, and Zhao Guang turned to the direction of Commander Gao and said, "I have also thanked you in advance, so let's go on the road, right?"
"Huh?! This--Zhao Xiang, I've been trekking for a day, and I haven't eaten dinner yet, can I--can I take a rest first, and then set off on the road tomorrow?" Before Commander Gao was embarrassed, Liu Qidan recovered from the loss just now.
