Ballad of the Desert · Finale 桐华 8775Words 2018-03-16
In the Battle of Mobei in the fourth year of Yuanshou, General Wei Qing led 50,000 troops from Dingxiang, Huo Qubing led 50,000 troops from Daijun, accompanied by 140,000 horses, and hundreds of thousands of infantry and heavy troops. Regardless of personal grievances, Huo Qubing appointed Li Gan as a senior colonel and deputy general, and he boldly reused Huns surrendered generals Fu Luzhi, Yi Jiqian and others without hesitation.This army of tigers and wolves galloped across the great desert, marching more than two thousand miles, and met King Zuo Xian, one of the three main forces of the Huns.

Although he was fighting the Xiongnu in the hinterland of the Xiongnu, Huo Qubing was very familiar with the terrain and climate of the Xiongnu. He took the risk to leave the train and go deep into the enemy's rear, adopting the strategy of taking food from the enemy and supplying supplies on the spot. More flexible, quicker, and braver, he defeated King Zuoxian's tribe, captured Shanyu's close minister Zhangqu, killed the little Xiongnu King Bicheqi, beheaded the Zuo general of the Huns, and captured the army flag and flag of Zuoxian King's tribe. With the drums of war, the Huns were in a state of chaos.Afterwards, Huo Qubing quickly crossed Lihou Mountain, crossed the Gonglu River, and captured three people, including King Tuntou and King Han of the Huns, as well as 83 people including General, Xiangguo, Danghu, and Duwei.A total of more than 70,000 Huns were beheaded, and almost the entire army of King Zuoxian of the Huns was wiped out.

Wei Qing led his troops northward for more than a thousand miles, crossing the desert, and encountered the main force led by Xiongnu Shanyu.General Wei Qing ordered the army to use Wugang Chehuan as a battalion to fight, and also ordered people to burn all the food and materials accumulated by the Xiongnu in Zhaoxin City. Shanyu's army lost its combat effectiveness after losing supplies, and the Han army killed nearly 20,000 Xiongnu in chaos. . Wei Qing, on the one hand, because of Liu Che's instructions, and a series of precedents made Liu Che superstitiously think that Li Guang was unlucky in the war, and on the other hand, because he wanted Gongsun Ao to make more achievements in battle, so although Li Guang repeatedly asked to be a striker, Wei Qing still only let him go. Li Guang responded.

Li Guang lost his way again in the desert, failed to fight the Xiongnu, and missed another chance to become a marquis. The white-haired general, full of grief and indignation, swung his sword in front of Wei Qing and killed himself. Although the victory of the Han Dynasty was a little shadowed by Li Guang's suicide, it was an unprecedented victory over the Xiongnu since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and perhaps no one else had a great victory. So far, after General Wei Qing killed the Huns Youxian King's tribe in the fifth year of Yuanshuo, the Huns in the Han Dynasty had been fighting for five full years. The Han Dynasty fell, and there was no royal court of the Huns in Monan ever since.

The Huo and Wei armies successfully joined forces in Hanhai.To celebrate his military exploits, Huo Qubing decided to set up a high altar to sacrifice to heaven in Langjuxu Mountain, and open a square to worship heaven and earth in Guyan Mountain, preparing to worship heaven and earth. The good news came back to Chang'an. Although I couldn't see Qu Bing in person, I could still imagine his calm and complacent appearance on the surface, but his inner self-satisfaction.Now he must be riding a horse and swaggeringly looking at the land of the Huns that has surrendered under his feet. He grew up listening to the stories of his uncle fighting the Huns since he was a child. Ever since his uncle taught him how to ride a horse and draw a bow for the first time, he dreamed that one day he would stand on the land of the Huns and overlook the whole land of the Huns. Now, his Dreams come true!

Huo Qubing hadn't returned to Chang'an yet, and the songs he wrote while worshiping heaven and earth had already been sung back to Chang'an. The four barbarians are protected, and the Xias are healthy. The country is peaceful and happy. Zai Ji fights, bows and arrows are hidden. The unicorn is coming, and the phoenix is ​​flying. Keeping with the sky, there will be no boundaries forever. Kiss for a hundred years, each extended. After Xiaofeng finished singing after imitating the people on the street, I was full of doubts, should I fight?Tibetan bow and arrow? Tianzhao smiled at the corner of his mouth: "The first three sentences of this song are true, and the last three sentences are false. 'Zai Ji Gange' comes from "The Book of Songs · Zhou Song · Shi Mai". No more use of force, this sentence also has the meaning of praising the wise and virtuous son of heaven, which is very suitable for the current scene. But the "bow and arrow Tibetan Xi" was not written well, and the next sentence of "Zai Ji Gange" was originally "Zai Li Gong Shi", General Huo Since the previous sentence of "Shimai" has been quoted in the original text, the next sentence should also be used as usual, so as to further imply the meaning of the truce in the four seas and praise the achievements of King Wu of Zhou in the original text, which is also consistent with the following three sentences. However, as a general, you can It’s good enough to write it like this.”

Master Jiu glanced at Amaterasu, Amaterasu immediately suppressed his smile, I thought about it and said: "The word 'Tibetan' is indeed not used well, the change of a word has a big difference in taste, not only splitting the whole text originally borrowed from "Shimai" "expresses the joy of peace in the world and does not directly express the meaning of praising the emperor, and the word "Tibetan" is more like a use of Fan Li's warning saying, "Flying birds are gone, and a good bow is hidden." Master Jiu's expression changed, his eyes were puzzled, but seeing my expression, he understood that what he thought might be true, and he showed a tranced smile, but there was despair hidden under the smile: "General Huo appreciates Doctor Fan?"

I nodded lightly, feeling a little bit of joy in my heart, but immediately became worried: "Can your majesty see the change in the word 'Tibetan'?" "The whole text is just one word, not to mention that '橐' and 'Zang' have the same meaning here. You know that General Huo praised Fan Li, so you can imagine how many people in the whole Han Dynasty know Huo as well as you do." General? Most people would think of General Huo as a martial artist, it’s just a misnomer in his writing.” Amaterasu at the side understood what I said to Master Jiu after hearing this, his face flushed instantly, and he stammered and asked, "General Huo is not Sima Xiangru, why did he suddenly compose such a song and sing it back?" Chang'an?"

I said: "Qubing should use this ballad to test His Majesty's intentions. King Wu of Zhou is a rare emperor among emperors who used force to threaten the world, but was loved by the people. own mind." Lord Jiu looked down at the ground: "Your Majesty has a special liking for the use of troops in war. After the Huns have finished fighting, I'm afraid they still want to fight the Western Regions. But General Huo even dismisses the now declining Huns Empire, so how can he treat bullies?" Interested in these small countries that have no power to fight back? What he wants is an evenly matched opponent like the Huns when they were strong."

Amaterasu was stunned for a while, and then said: "On the surface, it seems that General Huo acted wildly and casually, as if he only knew how to move forward, but just looking at this song, from composing the song to singing it back to Chang'an, General Huo's meticulous thoughts are no better than those who have always acted calmly. General Wei is bad." The greatest cleverness of Qubing is to make everyone think that he is not smart enough except for the war. I was a little proud of myself. I just smiled, but when I met the eyes of Lord Jiu, the smile froze, and there was bitterness in my mouth. smell.

Master Jiu turned his head and pushed the wheelchair towards the outsider: "We won't bother you anymore, you should rest early!" In more than ten days, Qubing will be back. Since he left for the expedition, half of my heart has been slowly put back, but the other half has been raised even higher because of the arrival of Wei Shaoer and Wei Junru. Contrary to their usual indifference, these two sisters actually showed some enthusiasm towards me.It turned out that Liu Che wanted to take me into the palace to wait for delivery. The son of a courtier was born with the same holy family and honor as the prince. They came to congratulate me. Great honor and grace? !When I saw their smiling faces, I wanted to pick up the broom and beat them all out. Do they understand what comes after this incomparable honor and grace?Don't understand at all, or don't care at all?After all, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, why didn't Wei Zifu, the queen, suffer from wind, knife, frost and sword? It's almost the end of summer, and the clump of tea vines in the corner of the wall is still full of clusters and dotted with branches, and the red clusters are blooming vigorously and bustlingly.But the flowers have already bloomed, and this is the last flower of summer. The splendor of the fire and fuel reveals the chill of autumn.Isn't life the same?When the water is full, it means that it is about to overflow, when the moon is at its fullest, it means that it is about to waning, and when the power is at its peak, it also indicates that there is no prosperity and it will turn to decline. Is Liu Che's move a response to Qubing Gefu?When Qu Bing came back, I had already entered the palace, should he openly defy the emperor's decree and take me back to the palace by force?When the power is at its peak, it is impossible to make a wrong step, otherwise it will only be a matter of a moment to bury the disaster. Picking off a tea flower and sticking it on the sideburns, I have made up my mind. In the study room, Master Jiu was flipping through medical books.I went straight in and sat opposite him: "Master Jiu, I want to ask you one thing, please promise me." Master Jiu tightened his hand holding the bamboo book, and quickly said, "I don't agree." I stared at him without blinking: "I have searched almost all the medical classics these days, but there are very few articles that mention the use of drugs to induce premature birth. The risks can be imagined. If it is not a last resort, how can I?" Could it be possible to make such a bad move, risking the lives of yourself and your children?" Jiuye's eyes were full of pain, and he said slowly: "There are other ways, we can leave Chang'an immediately, away from the turmoil and strife here." I looked at him fixedly, without responding to his words: "If you don't agree, I will try to find another doctor." I know I'm forcing him, but at this moment I have no choice, I can't follow him out of Chang'an City, where will I get sick like that? His complexion became more and more ugly, and there was despair in his paleness.My heart also convulsed.We have truly missed each other, and I have chosen Qubing. No matter what happens, no matter what tribulations or risks I encounter, I will not leave, and I will not leave Qubing to face the storm of Chang'an City alone. I silently got up and went to the layman.His voice sounded faintly behind him: "I promise you." I know he will agree, because he will never trust my life to others.My body didn't turn around, and I walked out steadily with my steps, and my voice was not unusual, even cold and calm: "Thank you!" The tears in my eyes fell silently and crazily.Although the tears fell because of him, he never wanted to know, I would rather see only an indifferent back. A thunderstorm in late summer had just passed, and the ground was still slippery. When I was sending the imperial doctor sent by the palace to visit me, I stumbled and fell down the steps of the pavilion.In the eyes of outsiders, I landed on my stomach. In fact, the moment I landed, I had already dissipated all the momentum with one hand and knee, but for the sake of realistic effect, I deliberately imagined the other arm as a person who does not understand martial arts at all. All, let it slide heavily across the bluestone ground, and half of the sleeves were covered with blood in an instant. The tea flower in her hand was crushed, and the fragrance of the medicine soaked in the flower floated into her nose, which immediately triggered the medicine that had already been drunk and was ready to go.After a while, I was so painful that my whole body huddled together, and the sweat mixed with blood seeped into my clothes.The imperial doctor yelled in panic, Master Jiu hugged me from the ground hastily, my blood spread on his white robe, like bright red flowers blooming in full bloom.There was no trace of blood on his face, and fear as deep as the sea was condensed in his bottomless black pupils. Master Jiu knew that everything was pre-designed, but he acted incomparably real, no matter how shrewd he was, he couldn't see any flaws.But seeing the beads of sweat on his forehead, he realized in his heart, where is he acting?This was his real reaction at all. From the time I drank that bowl of labor-inducing medicine, my life was hanging by a thread. I tried my best to smile at him, expressing that I was fine, but found that I couldn't control my body at all, my whole body was shaking with pain, my upper and lower teeth were chattering, and my lips were bleeding from biting inadvertently.Master Jiu frowned tightly, and stretched out his palm to my mouth, telling me to bite him, not allowing me to hurt myself again.I wanted to avoid him, and I didn't want to hurt him, but my fighting teeth were already biting his hand. Beads of sweat on his forehead slid down his nose and cheeks, looking like teardrops, falling on my face one by one.My blood, his blood, my sweat, his sweat, mixed together, my mouth tasted sweet and salty.The strength was withdrawn from the body, and the mind began to be confused. The pain in the body seemed to be far away from me, but the pain in the heart became clearer.His emotions lost the shackles of his reason, and they were all revealed in his eyes, and the tears in his eyes were out of control, falling in front of his eyes one after another. Before he fell into a coma, he only heard a sentence repeated, it was coaxing, begging, pampering , is sadness, joy, and despair: "Yu'er, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry..." I just woke up a little bit, and the pain of tearing my body filled my whole heart in an instant, and I, who has always been self-controlled, couldn't bear it and hummed.I don't know how long I have been in a coma, I just feel that everything in the room is very dark.A curtain was pulled across my chest, two stable women were busy inside the curtain, and Master Jiu sat outside the curtain to accompany me.Although he looked tired, he looked strangely calm, held my hand tightly, and said word by word: "You will be fine, you will be fine." It's a pity that his slightly trembling hands betrayed his mood, He is afraid.I forced a smile on, and nodded weakly but firmly. Hour after hour passed, there was only boundless pain, but the child still refused to appear.Baby, why don't you come out?Mother's strength is almost exhausted. Following my cry of pain, the woman inside the curtain shouted: "The child has come out, it is a boy, although he was born two months prematurely, he is pitifully small, but he is really energetic, he is not an ordinary child at first sight. " Master Jiu looked relieved: "Yu'er, well done." A woman came out with a baby in her arms and showed me joyfully. When I heard his cry, I felt great pain in my heart, my chest was so tight that I almost fainted.Baby, are you crying? Just after you were born, you have to not see your mother? Jiu Ye hurriedly pinched me among the people before waking me up.Master Jiu exchanged glances with Amaterasu at the door, and looked at me inquiringly, I endured the reluctance in my heart, and nodded slightly. Tianzhao came in and picked up the child: "Nurse has been waiting for a long time, and people from the palace have been waiting to see the child, so I will take the child there." Then he went out. I whimpered a few times, I didn't understand what I wanted to say, Amaterasu stopped immediately, I stared fixedly at the little thing in Amaterasu's arm, after a long while, I suddenly closed my eyes, Master Jiu said Amaterasu said softly: "You go!" Master Jiu put his hand lightly on my wrist, his expression became more and more solemn, and his fingers became cold.I tried my best to smile and said, "I don't feel any pain anymore, I'm just a little tired and sleepy. My body has always been very good, don't worry, I can take care of my body after a night of sleep." The old woman's face was pale: "The blood can't stop, it can't stop." After speaking, she didn't dare to look into Master Jiu's eyes, she just lowered her head and shook her head very slowly.Master Jiu's body trembled, and in a low voice hurriedly instructed the old woman what to do, and ordered someone to decoct the medicine immediately. Basin after pot of clean water came in, and pot after pot of bright red water came out.I wondered in a daze, did so much blood really flow from me? The kind of exhaustion from the bones flowed through the limbs and bones, and the whole body was lazily warm, and just wanted to sleep soundly.Master Jiu didn't allow me to sleep, he kept talking in my ear, forcing me to stare into his eyes and not close them: "Yu'er, do you still remember when we met?" How could it be possible to forget?Momo yellow sand, green spring water, like a boy in white clothes like a bright moon in the Tianshan Mountains. "Do you remember that dress? It was a gift from a good friend of Lou Lan. He said it was for my wife, and he laughed and said that when the wedding dress was prepared, a woman would appear naturally. You appeared, wearing a ragged dress , but it's hard to hide the aura, the whole body is rebellious, there is sadness in the eyes, but there is only a brilliant smile on the face, this is the first time I heard a girl laughing so unscrupulously, as if the whole world is controlled by her At that time, I only thought that you would be very beautiful in that dress... But, I have never seen you in it..." There was moisture in my eyes, drop by drop, falling on his palm. I tried very hard to listen to him, but his face was slowly blurring, a cloud of white mist was covering my eyes, and everything was fading away: "Master Jiu, am I going to die?" Master Jiu held my hand tightly: "No, no..." He didn't know whether he was convincing himself or me. I lay in his arms, without fear, very calm, and finally dared to say some words that could not be said: "Jiuye, I'm sorry, I owe you, I can only owe you in this life. I always hope that you can live happily, I have tried my best to do a lot of things, just to make your brows relax, not to let anyone hurt you, but in the end, the person who hurt you the most is actually me. Don’t be sad, I will be sad when you are sad, and when your heart hurts My heart aches too." His face was lightly touching mine, his face was wet, who was crying? "Yu'er, I'm the one who's sorry. If I'm not wrong, the grievances between you and Li Yan are probably caused by me. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be so close to Li Yan at all, and you wouldn't be so close. Help her enter the palace. You have done your best, but I have been self-righteously shutting you out. If I were willing to be honest with you, I would not have all the suffering today." Xiaofeng hurried in with the medicine, Jiu Ye gave me the medicine immediately.Every time I swallowed, I seemed to use up all my strength. Master Jiu wiped my sweat and said, "I know you have worked hard, but you must persist and not give up, otherwise many people will be sad." …Sit for a while on the clearing of the kapok tree, guessing Bayar’s thoughts again and again…The sorghum head in the north passed by, and looked at Bayar’s back from the side.The sorghum head in the east passed by, and Bayar's back was seen from behind... Planting elm saplings will grow taller, and matchmakers will come to the door when the girl grows up.The sorghum head in the west has passed, and Bayar has seen the back of my marriage... The sorghum head in the east has been climbed, and Bayar has seen the back of my marriage... Master Jiu's gentle and deep singing voice rang in his ears.Accompanied by the singing, he inserted silver needles into each of my acupuncture points. "Yu'er, I only know now that I only want you to live. No matter who you have in your heart or who you are with, I only want you to live. As long as I know that you can live happily, then I will be happy too. Don't you want me to be sad? As long as you live, I will not be sad." Eyes closed slowly, Master Jiu's voice was still repeated again and again: "You must live, you must live, you must live..." Such a persistent voice, swearing to fight against God, even though my consciousness has been slackened, they are engraved on my heart word by word, overlapping with another voice from many years ago: "You must live, promise Father, you must live!" A long dark tunnel with only a faint light in front of it. I chased the light and floated forward. I saw a pack of wolves running. One of them was a wolf that had fed me. I hurried forward to chase it, but the pack of wolves suddenly disappeared. Turned into Yu Dan, he smiled and waved to me, I also shouted and ran towards him, suddenly Dad appeared behind Yu Dan, I happily shouted "Daddy", just like when I was a child, I flew towards him In the past, he didn't open his arms and wait to hug me as before, but he was very angry and angry, as if he didn't want to see me at all. I stood there, thinking hesitantly, but couldn't think of anything.Looking back, it was pitch black, but there was a warm light ahead, Father and Yu Dan.I couldn't help walking forward again, my father looked at me silently with a sad face, his expression touched something, a blurred face, and another blurred face slipped through my mind, they will do the same Sad? Must be alive, must be alive... Although he didn't understand what it meant, he stopped hesitantly.Restraining my fear of the dark, I took a step back, Dad smiled, and my body ached. Must be alive, must be alive... Every time I take a step back, away from the light, my body hurts more and more. It turns out that every step forward is happiness, and every step backward is pain, but Dad is smiling, and the two faces in his mind seem to be gratified, no matter how big the pain is, I can bear it.Although I don't understand why I would rather be smashed to pieces than let them be sad, step by step, slowly but hard to retreat... "Yu'er!" Surprised in unison.In the eyes, there are two different faces, but they are equally haggard and tired. The two wanted to reach out to help me at the same time, and when they were about to touch my cheek, they stopped at the same time and paused in mid-air.Huo Qubing looked sideways at Master Jiu, the joy in Master Jiu's eyes receded because of my awakening, full of bitterness, but there was a warm smile on his face, his hands clenched into fists, the veins on them throbbed faintly, and he withdrew his hand inch by inch, Suddenly turned around and pushed the wheelchair to go out: "I'm going to order the kitchen to prepare some food." Huo Qubing lay on his side on the couch without saying a word, carefully hugging me, his hands clasped tightly, but he didn't dare to touch me with his arms.This is a posture that declares protection and possession, but under the appearance of strength, uncertainty and worry are hidden. I tried my best to lean my head towards him, but my movements were slow. He hurriedly helped me move my head to his shoulder, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and his arms really wrapped around me.After a while, he whispered, "Yu'er, we don't want children anymore." When I mentioned children, my heart ached. I forced a smile and said, "Someone used to say that a Cuju team would be born! Isn't it true that father and son are always in battle?" He rubbed his chin against my forehead: "It's not as important as you. I hate this kid a little bit now. When I was staying by your couch, I kept thinking that if something happened to you because of giving birth to him, I don't want to see him at all." .” I hesitated for a while and asked, "Have you seen the child?" He was silent for a moment, and his voice became much darker: "No, when I came back, he had already been taken into the palace. His Majesty gave him a name, and it is said that he was raised by the empress himself, and all treatment was the same as that of a prince, and he was better than an ordinary prince. Jingui. Because he was born two months prematurely and his body was very weak, a group of imperial doctors surrounded him, making the palace very noisy. At that time, your life was dying, so I hurried into the palace to meet His Majesty, and gave a rough report I will rush over to accompany you during the battle." Looking at his bloodshot eyes, my heart was filled with warmth and distress: "Have you not rested for several days? Go to sleep first!" He shook his head: "I'll be here to guard you, not going anywhere." I smelled the long-lost scent on his body, and felt indescribably at ease: "Then sleep here, I miss you so much." I never took the initiative to say frank love words to him, probably because it was the first time, he was so shocked that he immediately stood up, stared at me and asked, "What did you say?" I pursed my lips, smiled and didn't answer him, but he fixed his gaze on me and said, "Say what you just said again." I said slowly: "Don't say good things twice." He looked disappointed, and lay back on the pillow, and I whispered in his ear: "I miss you very much, I miss you very much, and I will never be alone in Chang'an again. .” He was delighted at the beginning, but after hearing it, he was full of distress, with helplessness hidden in his brows, he stroked my lips lightly with his finger: "I'm sorry." He should already know everything that happened since he left Chang'an, and he doesn't know how to judge the entanglement in his mind.This "I'm sorry" probably also included his suspicion of Queen Wei and the fate of the child being brought into the palace as a hostage. I felt uneasy and hesitated whether to tell him the truth about the child right now, but he suddenly said: "The Xiongnu have been completely driven out of Monan, and they have no spare power to carry out military invasions against the Han Dynasty. It's a joke." My heart moved: "How does His Majesty reward you?" "Isn't it just the rewards of power and wealth?" Maybe it was because of his son, his tone was flat with a hint of boredom, and the usual high spirits in the corners of his brows and eyes were gone. He fought the Xiongnu only for a dream since he was a child. At the beginning, he should have been happy for the high-ranking officials and rich salary and the momentary honor in Chang'an City. His world is no longer just fighting the Huns, but gradually falling into the intrigue in Chang'an City.Even, as the princes grow up, from now on, it is possible that the battlefield will become lighter and weaker, and the complicated and boring power struggle will become more and more serious. He has always disdained to waste energy on these things, using what he said to me before, "If you don't understand, you disdain", but now you can't avoid it after all, and you can't help being involved. "Yu'er, let's go home at night, shall we?" A battle that lasted for several months, he fought tens of thousands of miles in the desert grassland, and after Xingye rushed back to Chang'an, and because I couldn't rest, he said at this time Words, eyes closed, deep sleepiness. I hurriedly let go of all my thoughts, and said softly: "Okay, we will... go home tonight." His original tiredness was swept away, his eyebrows stretched, and he fell asleep with a smile. I shrank my head into his arms, listening to his calm and long breathing.Actually, I'm already at home now!The place with you is home, and your embrace is home! It was at night, but Huo Qubing fell asleep until the next day. We bid farewell to Huo Mansion from Shi Mansion, only Amaterasu came to see us off, Master Jiu didn't show up after he went to the kitchen to order food, and we all pretended to forget about it. Amaterasu handed over a long prescription to Huo Qubing, saying that the imperial physician can see me within a month, but don't use their prescriptions, everything should be adjusted strictly according to the above, and after a month, I can be prescribed by a trusted doctor. prescription.When Amaterasu was speaking, he deliberately paused on the word "trustworthy". Huo Qubing's eyes darkened, and after receiving the medicine order, he made a fistful bow to Amaterasu for the first time. Amaterasu did not back away, and said with a faint smile : "I will convey it to Master Jiu." Qu Bing was worried about letting others carry me, and insisted on carrying me into the carriage by himself. After I frowned and puffed my cheeks and said no, it was all useless, so I could only let him manipulate me. When passing by the lake in Shifu, the mandarin duck vines along the shore of the lake are about to bloom. There is no white, only golden yellow. Although there are not many, it is more conspicuous when dotted in a piece of green.After Huo Qubing glanced around, he carried me expressionlessly as he walked through the lush mandarin duck vines.I buried my head in his neck, not daring to look at anything. Back at Qu Bing's mansion, before the carriage stopped, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy ran out to greet him, shouting "Big Brother" all the way, his voice full of joy.Seeing that Qu Bing was hugging me to get out of the car, he hurriedly helped to draw up the curtain. When Qu Bing looked at him, his eyes were rare and gentle: "Yu'er, this is Huo Guang, my younger brother. I went to visit my father when I came back this time. Brother Guang wanted to come to Chang'an, so I brought him here." Qu Bing's "brother" bit the word extremely hard, as if it came directly from his heart.Huo Guang was full of complacency and pride, with a little nervousness hidden between his brows, he bowed to me, and called out in a crisp voice: "Sister-in-law, are you feeling better?" Although everyone knows about my relationship with Qubing, no one has ever dared to admit it verbally. He called out "sister-in-law" so that I didn't know how to respond for a while, but Qubing smiled happily and talked with Huo Guang while walking. Said: "Your sister-in-law is sorry. She is not in a good mood now. When she recovers from her illness, you will definitely be able to talk about it together. What have you been doing these days?" Huo Guang smiled and talked about what he saw and heard in Chang'an City in detail, his face full of excitement.Just arriving from a remote place to Chang'an, the capital of the entire empire, even adults would be shocked, let alone a boy?What's more, as soon as he entered Chang'an, he was overlooking the whole Chang'an as the younger brother of Huo Qubing, the proud son of heaven? Qu Bing just listened quietly all the way, but the corners of his lips kept pursing into a smile.When I saw his smile, I couldn't help but smile too.Although Qu Bing had many cousins, none of them were really close. Huo Guang's intimacy with him was probably something he had secretly longed for for a long time. When I looked at Huo Guang again, I couldn't help but care in my eyes.Huo Guang is very sensitive and intelligent. Although I didn't say a word, he already understood that I recognized him as my younger brother from the bottom of my heart, and his brows were instantly relieved. Out of the closeness of the heart. By the time my body basically recovered, it was already from the end of summer to the beginning of winter. This became the longest illness I've ever suffered in my life. With my body and Master Jiu's medical skills, I would be close to death. If it were any other woman, I would have seen Pluto early. When I think about it in the dead of night, my palms will suddenly break out in cold sweat, and I feel that I am really brave. If everything goes wrong, will Qu Bing forgive Master Jiu after knowing the truth?But at that time, for the sake of my child, I didn't think about it at all. I just thought that my child must not be brought into the palace without sunlight, and must not be a chess piece to restrain Qubing.
