Chapter 3 By Life and Death I

As soon as the year is over, winter is coming to an end. →≈ μ.The first release is just this year's New Year's Festival, except for the comfortable places in Shuzhong and the wilderness of Lingnan, the land of Shenzhou is full of wars, and the people are displaced. At this time, An Lushan was based on Luoyang, An Qingxu went to Huainan, Shi Siming took Jing Chu, and Ji Ruochen went out of Xijing. If this dynasty is a large territory, more than half of it has fallen into the hands of people.

Even the bitter cold land of Saibei is also an eventful season. Guo Ziyi lost the first battle, learned from the pain, and humbly said with thick coins, and asked for 20,000 elite horsemen from Hui, although the cold winter is not the time to use soldiers, but Guo Ziyi relied on dozens of monks in the army to help fight, and still led the vast army to kill Fan Yang, ready to take An Lushan's nest in one fell swoop. These Hui iron cavalry are brave and good at fighting, after the baptism of wind and frost outside the Saiwai, the plain charge is unstoppable, and the northern goblin cavalry of An Lushan is just a chess opponent.

Although the people of Shu were not affected by the war, they had another kind of suffering. Since the court is crusading against traitors, it is inevitable to arrest Ding Paifu. Although Shuzhong is rich, ordinary people are just trying to barely eat and wear. This time, the tax was almost increased by half, and the strong men in the township were also drawn one out of three times, and the people were immediately miserable, and some places where the annual growth was not very good even the seeds and grain for the next year were levied. As for how they live, the parents and officials don't care. If An Lushan is really allowed to change the dynasty, I am afraid that not only will their official positions be lost, but the mansions of their wives and children, relatives and friends will be in vain, so they will work extremely hard in the collection of food and grain.

Fortunately, the people of Lingnan did not have **, but there were more natural disasters. At this time, the mountains and rocks in Lingnan are cracked, or the springs are dried up, or the miasma is flourishing, or the plague is rampant. There are also many snakes and scorpions that should have been dormant in this season, wandering around, and with a violent temperament, they suddenly hurt people. Lingnan is already sparsely populated, and when it comes to natural disasters, it is often not inhabited for dozens of miles.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, An Lushan had a big heart, so he feasted the ministers in the Eastern Capital Palace.

This good banquet began at noon, and at dusk, all the founding fathers in the hall drank heartily and were in high spirits, and An Lushan was even more drunk, and his soul seemed to float out. Looking around, the palace is full of confidants and generals who have followed him for many years, although the wine insects are vicious and ugly, but this is more like a group of brothers fighting the country for the first time. Naturally, there are many people in this hall who don't actually have any skills, but they have a reputation for following for a long time. An Lushan actually knows this, he can sit on the throne today, how can he not even have this ability to recognize people?

It's just that in the heart of this big-bellied beard, the friendship of drinking together and eating meat in the same pot back then can't be forgotten, and it has not changed a little because he is a big treasure today. Therefore, he is also happy to see a group of old brothers share the wealth with him.

However, what made him a little unhappy was the absence of his general Ji Ruochen. This Ji Ruochen was born out of thin air, and he was able to help the world wholeheartedly, and he trained into an elite soldier within a few months, and he was invincible since then, and the battle of Tongguan was to break the 300,000 army of Ge Shuhan, and he became famous all over the world. Later, the use of soldiers was like electricity, and he took Xijing lightly, and if he only talked about his military exploits, he was already the first under An Lushan. Although Shi Siming is still known as the first, with 200,000 soldiers and horses, far exceeding Ji Ruochen's 60,000 demon pawns in terms of number, he is far inferior in terms of combat power. Some time ago, Shi Siming sent thousands of elite subordinates to Ji Ruochen's territory to capture Ding and collect grain, but he was killed by the same number of demon troops, and he also sent the head back in a basket. With Shi Siming's arrogance and ferocity, it is really intriguing to suffer such a big loss and then end it.

An Lushan knew about this matter, and he also thought about it seriously for a few days.

Guo Ziyi's lone army went deeper, but he suffered a big defeat in Ji Ruochen's territory, and almost the entire army was wiped out, and An Lushan also knew about it. He originally thought that Guo Ziyi's military talent was not enough, and he was not worried at all. Who knew that after Guo Ziyi borrowed the Hui Jing cavalry, he took the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and the Hui Iron Cavalry as the vanguard, and came to Fan Yang.

What is still hateful is that Guo Ziyi obviously learned to be obedient and went around in a big circle, far bypassing Hebei Province, which Ji Ruochen regarded as a forbidden one. Sometimes the place where Guo Ziyi's vanguard and An Lushan's headquarters fought was only dozens of miles away from the place where Ji Ruochen's demon army was stationed, but because the war did not burn into Hebei Province, the demon army turned a blind eye, watching his colleagues being killed all over the field but not moving. There are also An troops who have sent people for help, and the demon army has also responded, but when he is slow to send troops, when he arrives at the ground, the war has been over for a long time, and he has not seen the momentum of rushing for thousands of miles and killing the enemy. And Guo Ziyi dared to wave his army and go straight forward, which is very intriguing. Isn't he afraid that Ji Ruochen will suddenly move his army north and cut his army into two sections? If there is no tacit understanding between Guo Ziyi and Ji Ruochen, and everything is purely coincidental, this explanation is probably a bit pale and weak.

A few days ago, some ministers who had always been jealous of Ji Ruochen raised this issue, and proposed to send a prison army to Ji Ruochen, so as not to be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, and Ji Ruochen's movements are indeed suspicious.

Although An Lushan also had doubts in his heart, he didn't even think about the proposal to send a prison army, so he refused. The reason why the Ming Emperor was defeated like a mountain was that the supervising army was a big reason. With the lessons of the past, how could An Lushan be so stupid as to repeat the mistakes of the past? Moreover, Ji Ruochen's demon army is strong in combat and strict in military discipline, and I heard that he himself is the brave champion of the three armies, and he personally shot in the battle of Tongguan, killing the Chinese army all the way, and beheading the monks who relied on Geshu as the Great Wall in front of the battle. In the army, there are such national soldiers as Jitian, such a person, such a fierce soldier, what is the use of sending a supervising army? Even if Ji Ruochen has no objection, maybe he will be forced to rebel. At this moment, most of the monks in the army are from the Daode Sect, Ji Ruochen has a close relationship with the Daode Sect, if he really wants to deal with Ji Ruochen, if the Daode Sect turns his face, then the big thing will be over.

And An Lushan prides himself on being good at people, from Ji Ruochen's eyes, he has never seen half of the emperor's heart, which is the root cause of him letting Ji Ruochen build an army and plunder the land.

It's just that today's Ji Ruochen is really unpredictable. This banquet was notified to the generals from all over the country as early as half a month ago, and even Shi Siming and An Qingxu rushed back with flying horses, but Ji Ruochen not only guarded Xijing, but didn't even reply to the letter. In this way, it is really not the way of human beings.

An Lushan was drunk, and he had a headache when he thought about it. He was just about to take two sips of wine to moisten his throat when he suddenly felt something strange in his outlook. He wiped his eyes vigorously, and now he looked at it, but saw that the wine lord in his hand still turned a strange dark red. An Lushan looked at the hall hesitantly, but when he saw that the pillars, the banquet, and even the palace maids serving the wine were all coated with a strange dark red, he knew that he was not dazzled for a while.

The hall gradually quieted down, except for a few drunk, the rest of the people look at me, I look at you, they are all a little overwhelmed, but for some reason, everyone is covered in cold sweat, no matter whether the sleeves wipe the silk can not be stopped, the wine has already gone clean.

Suddenly, one of the generals got up from the table and ran out of the hall, looking up at the sky. At a glance, he pointed to the sky and cried out as if madness: "God!

When the ministers in the palace heard this, they could no longer care about the courtesy of the kings and ministers, and they swarmed out of the palace like a swarm, looking at the sky, and then everyone was stunned. Outside the hall, whether it is flowers, stones, trees, or maids and ministers, it is like falling into a sea of blood, and it is so red that it makes people's hearts palpitate.

With the support of the six maids, An Lushan stood up with difficulty and staggered out of the hall. Since entering Luoyang, although it has only been a short time, in addition to drinking and feasting the ministers every day, An Lushan's belly has also grown day by day, not to mention more than 50 catties. But in his hurry, he actually walked much brisker, and rushed out of the hall in three steps and two steps, and also led his neck to look at the sky.

The main hall sits in the north and faces south, and it is natural that you can't see the difference in the sky in the hall. However, when he came out of the palace, An Lushan was also stunned like a group of ministers, and after a moment, even his legs trembled slightly.

The remnant sun is like blood.

No matter whether he is a minister or a military general, he can't even read big characters, and a few rough people can't help but flash these four words in their hearts.

At this moment, it was almost dusk, and a round of sunset hung obliquely in the sky, unwilling to sink into the sky for a long time. The slanting sun is bright red, thick and bright, like a blood cell, and even dripping drop by drop, dyeing half of the sky into blood! The color of blood spreads silently in the air, winding towards the direction of Luoyang. In this situation, it is as if the sky has been cut through countless wounds, and blood is constantly leaking out.

The air was so thick that it seemed to be indissolvably bloody, which seemed to block everyone's breathing, and the mouth and nose were full of bitter blood.

Just when An Lushan's face was pale and he could barely breathe, suddenly a minister blessed his soul and came out to worship: "Congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint! On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the saint spread his grace and feasted the ministers. The Holy One should obey the will of Heaven and rule the world!"

This person is dignified in life, and his words are like a Hong Zhong, full of energy, which really has the meaning of deafening and giving back, and it really shook An Lushan out of panic.

An Lushan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly opened his small eyes to look, and the little official who knelt in front of him showed a talent, and he was very kind. He tried hard to recall, and finally remembered that this person seemed to be surnamed Lu, and on the day he stepped into the snow and entered Luoyang, he had entered a poem about "the god of the sea in the snow", which he liked very much, so he promoted him to be a petty official who couldn't even name himself.

Since this petty official surnamed Lu has made a start, the ministers suddenly realized, and while scolding Lu Yan's shamelessness in their hearts, they stepped up their sycophants to make amends. The sycophant is like a tide, and An Lushan is drunk, and under the joyful mood, he beckons the ministers to return to the palace to drink and feast.

Until he was so drunk that he didn't wake up, An Lushan thought that he was full of joy. However, even in his sleep, there was always a bloody remnant sun floating in front of him.

After falling down on the dragon bed in the dormitory, An Lushan immediately made a loud noise, and he didn't hear the noise from outside the hall at all.

"Who is making noise here, disturbing the rest of the Holy Heaven?" Shi Siming's calm voice came from outside the hall, full of majesty. He personally helped An Lushan back to the palace just now, and he hasn't left yet.

"The urgent military information sent by General Xijing Ji is to disturb the holy car with a small talent. "It appears to be a herald officer who spoke. At this moment, the war has not been extinguished, An Lushan is from the army and the Hu people, many rules have not yet been established, and most of the people inside and outside the court still follow the same set in the army.

"Show me!" Shi Siming took the military information CD, opened it and read it. There were only a few lines in the text on the disc, and Shi Siming swept it over, but he was stunned on the spot.

The text disc said that Ji Ruochen had no intention of doing anything in the army, and even disbanded the demon army under his command, and carved Xijing into an empty city.

This document disc was like a thunderbolt, exploding in Shi Siming's mind, he had always regarded Ji Ruochen as a great enemy of life and death, but because he could not match him in terms of soldiers, he had to find a way to get rid of Ji Ruochen in the temple. As a result, before he had a chance to make a move, Ji Ruochen had already hung up the seal and left, and even disbanded the demon army under his command, leaving only an empty Xijing.

Thinking of the ancient imperial capital without soldiers stationed at this moment, Shi Siming seemed to have an evil fire quietly rising in his heart. He held the disc in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Not to mention that the monarchs and ministers in the eastern capital of Luoyang have their own thoughts, after the remnant sun appears in the world like blood, almost all the people in heaven and earth who have a little understanding of one or two hexagrams have sensed it, buried their heads in calculations, and after a while, they have their own gains, and the results are different, some people are worried and some are happy, some people are frightened and some people are crazy.

The East China Sea is full of wind and anger, the vicious waves are stormy, and the splashing water droplets are reflected in the residual sun, like a little falling bloodstone, which is poignant and charming. Under the reflection of the remnant sun that has been reluctant to fall into the west, half of the East China Sea is like a boiling pool of blood.

A row of vicious waves as high as a hill swept over the sea, and countless islands and reefs were submerged under the blood waves, and gradually resurfaced.

On the lonely reef, Ji Ruochen hugged Shura and sat like a statue, as if he was integrated with the reef. The empty waves crashed against him, splashing countless waters, and then slowly flowing down his hair and cheeks. Under the blood-stained sky, Ji Ruochen rose from the sea of blood, and the seawater flowing from his body was like thick plasma.

He sat like this, I don't know how long he's been sitting, and he doesn't know how long he'll be sitting.

As the sun was about to set, he suddenly moved, raised his head, and looked west. On the sea, a slender green shadow is stepping on the waves, although it is a sea of blood, and the vitality is extinguished, but where she is, it is in the most vicious place, and there is also a ray of lively vitality.

"Tsing Yi?" Ji Ruochen's rock-like face slowly melted.

Tsing Yi stepped on the lonely reef, knelt in front of Ji Ruochen, put a pair of slender hands on his knees, looked at his face on his back, and said after a while: "It turns out that you arrived here." Well, I've been looking for a long time. ”

Ji Ruochen smiled and said, "No matter where I go, I can always find it if you want to." I didn't hide my breath from you. No matter how much gloom he has in his heart, as long as he sees Tsing Yi, there will always be an extra ray of sunshine, whether in the past or now.

Compared with the gentleness of the past, Tsing Yi at this time was a little more calm and atmospheric, and she said: "Now I have found it too." Have you figured it out?"

Ji Ruochen was stunned, and couldn't answer for a while. These days, his heart has been like a lonely reef and dead wood, almost connected with the ignorant heaven and earth.

When Tsing Yi saw it, she was not surprised, but said softly and lightly: "You have always been so lazy, and I have to tell you what you should think: you should go to her." ”

Ji Ruochen's heart beat slowly: "Who are you looking for?"

"Gu Qing. Tsing Yi's eyes were as clear as water, so pure that he didn't dare to look at them directly.

After a moment, he sighed softly, and finally said, "I have let go of that day, so I am just looking for some peace here." ”

Tsing Yi stared at his face, raised his hand slightly, straightened the strand of messy hair on his forehead, smiled lightly, and said, "If you really let it go, you won't be here." If you don't go to her, do you really want to watch her soar to the immortal realm?"

Even if it wasn't for the blind date with his neck entwined in his previous life, in front of such a Tsing Yi, Ji Ruochen still couldn't hide his thoughts. He smiled bitterly and sighed, "What if you find it? How many reincarnation hardships do people have to go through before they can be feathered and ascended." Why should I mistake her future?"

Tsing Yi said: "You should go to her." As for what you can do, it's not too late to find it! Maybe it's just to see, maybe it's to say hello, maybe it's something else, maybe it's nothing. All in all, when you meet her, you'll know what to do. ”

Ji Ruochen hesitated for a moment and shook his head again.

Tsing Yi held his hand and said softly: "If you don't go, not only can't you let it go, but she can't let it go either, it's not okay to go on like this." Even if it's for her, it's time for all of this to come to an end, and you can't always hide like this and just seek peace of mind. And if you don't go to her again, I'm afraid it's really too late. ”

Looking at the Tsing Yi, which was as soft as water, Ji Ruochen's heart trembled slightly, and between his thoughts, the past came one after another, and he didn't know what it was like.

He slowly stood up, hugged Tsing Yi lightly, that is, Tishura, and walked away along the way she came, stepping on the last ray of afterglow on the horizon.

As the sun sets, the blood-like East China Sea plunges into tranquil darkness.

Only the slender figure, standing still, as if it was one with the reef karst.
