Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Mobei
It rained in bursts for several days.
Until the day Chang Gong set off for Mobei, the sky finally cleared up.
Because she was unwilling to deal with those hypocritical colleagues who came to see them off, she wanted to take Xiao Tie and set off before dawn.
"Brother Chang Gong, I will stay by your side even in Mobei." Xiao Tie frowned and whispered.
Chang Gong carried her onto the horse, patted the horse's back, "Xiao Tie, be obedient, it is safest for you to go back to your brother now. I am going to guard the border, and Ah Jing is the enemy. There may be conflicts, you are not suitable to stay with me, understand?"
"I won't go back. I'm your future concubine, Brother Chang Gong, so let me be your shield." Xiao Tie looked at her with piercing eyes.
"Silly boy, you know my identity clearly, so I can't delay you." Chang Gong showed a gentle look on his face, "Besides, I don't want to use women as a shield."
"I...I can't go back." Xiao Tie's expression changed slightly, "At the beginning I lied to my brother that I came to spy on the information of Qi, so he agreed that I would come back with you. But in fact I didn't do anything, because , I just want to find an excuse to go with you. What's more, I am also from Qi, and I don't want to go to Turkic."
There was a glimmer of light in Chang Gong's eyes, "So it's like this..." She pondered for a few seconds, then stepped forward and untied the flying light horse, "Then you can follow me to Mobei first."
"Yeah!" A smile appeared on Xiao Tie's lips, he glanced casually, and suddenly pointed at a figure riding his horse towards here, "Brother Chang Gong, don't you think that's Brother Heng Jia?"
Chang Gong turned his head, and saw that the man in blue on the horse had stopped steadily not far from her, his black hair was fluttering in the wind, he just stood there quietly, like a swift and unruly wind, Chic and elegant; like a pure and clear cloud, with a gentle breeze... The sun was blocked behind him, and his face was blurred by the backlight.
But for some reason, Chang Gong didn't seem to see the habitual smile on his lips.
"Gao Changgong, you may not be too dissatisfied, you don't even tell me that you are leaving today, do you not regard me as a good brother?" There seemed to be a bit of dissatisfaction in his voice.
She lowered her head unreasonably, and said, "Hang Jia, I, I just don't want to bother you."
"But you forgot this, don't you still want to trouble me?" Heng Jia pointed to something tied to the side of the horse, "Do you want your mask?"
Chang Gong couldn't help but groaned, "I really forgot, Heng Jia, so you came to give me this!"
"I——I didn't come to give you this." Sunshine hid in the white clouds at some point, presenting his expression at a glance.His gaze was unfathomable, as if he had penetrated hundreds of years of time and stared at her deeply from the depths.
Chang Gong raised his head in some confusion, and suddenly heard his gentle voice whisper again, "Chang Gong, I will accompany you to Mobei."
"What?" Her eyes widened.
"If you replaced my father, wouldn't it be fair for me to replace my second brother?" There was a sly smile on his lips.
The wind stirred the dead leaves on the ground, and those few withered and yellow shadows crossed several circles in mid-air, drifting lightly in the air, suddenly being swept up by a gust of airflow, suddenly falling again, and so on and on, unexpectedly delayed Not landing.There was no rustling of trees, birdsong, wind, or insects in her ears. All sounds were still.
Then, her eyes suddenly became swollen and sore, and her chest felt intense pain.
There was a tremor in his heart, and a hot liquid was turning in his eyes.
"Let's go, there is still a long way to go." He turned his horse's head carelessly.
"Hang Jia, you, have you thought it through? You will regret it!" She forced back the hot liquid in her eyes, and said anxiously, "That's Mobei, it's Mobei...is it worth it! "
He turned his head sideways, and his calm tone emerges naturally like the morning mist, "Chang Gong, didn't I say that, we are two grasshoppers on the same rope."
She was slightly stunned, and after a while, a rare and barely visible smile appeared on her face, "Well, I see, Heng Jia, let's go to Mobei together." After finishing speaking, she flicked her horsewhip , The horse's belly was clamped between the legs, and the horse galloped.The scenery on both sides was constantly regressing, her hands holding the rein had been strangled, and she could only push the horse forward.Flying horse, let's run!Run out of Yecheng, out of this bustling place, out of this sad place, out of this place where there are many people who don't want to see each other again, and go straight to the vast and boundless Mobei grassland!
The corner of Heng Jia's lips moved slightly, and he also chased after him.The branches on both sides of the road were blown by the strong wind brought by the galloping horses, and they were melodious.He closes his eyes.He didn't care what was ahead, he just galloped forward, letting the wind howl past his ears.
Being able to be with that person, no matter how hard it is, is worth it.No matter what his identity is, no matter where he goes, he only wants to walk hand in hand with that person, walking all the way, seeing the willow colors every year, the moonlight every night, thousands of streams and stars, and thousands of miles of floating clouds.
The conditions of the Mobei garrison were worse than they imagined.This small city at the border is sparsely populated and lacks supplies.Although the famous Hu Luguang was stationed here, the Turkic people, who were brutal and cruel by nature, would occasionally raid nearby small towns and plunder their property. At the place where the commander of the garrison stayed, Chang Gong saw Hu Luguang and Hu Luxuda who had been separated for a long time.They waited here to hand over everything before they could leave.Hu Luguang already knew the general idea from the letter he received before, so he also knew the reason why Chang Gong suddenly proposed to come here. Before leaving, Hu Luguang ordered his subordinates to prepare simple food and wine, saying that he would have two drinks with Chang Gong alone. It was almost dusk, and the unique wind on the grassland was blowing loudly.Chang Gong tightened his skirt, wondering why Uncle Hulu wanted to set up the drinking place in the open air. Hu Luguang has already gotten used to the weather here, took a sip from the wine glass, and said with a smile, "Chang Gong, the first time I saw you, you were only five years old, and you told me at that time, In the future, you will also be a general like me and drive out all the enemies." Holding the glass of wine, Chang Gong recalled that carefree summer, and unconsciously pursed his lips, "Uncle Hulu, so you still remember. Ever since I was a child, I have always wanted to be like you. " "Hearing the name of King Lanling now, who isn't frightened?" Hu Luguang laughed, "With you here guarding, I can't be more relieved." Chang Gong nodded, "Uncle Hulu, don't worry, I will stay here." Although she said so, there was a bit of pain in her heart.She can't even protect her own relatives and her own home. Now, can she really protect everything here? Hu Luguang looked at her with complicated eyes, stood up suddenly, pointed to the distance, and said loudly, "Chang Gong, have you seen it? This is our land, the land we have come to with great difficulty." In the past, my father, your grandfather, how many ancestors shed blood to lay down this country, now, we all live here and guard here. In the future, my children, your children, children's children, grandparents We still have to live here, because this is our home, our homeland, and a place we will never lose. But on the grassland outside the customs, those Turkic people are eyeing our great rivers and mountains. Chang Gong, no matter Why did you come here, you have to remember that there are many things in this world that are more important than family love and friendship." He paused, "In the face of national righteousness and national survival, many things, including life I gave up without hesitation. So Chang Gong, no matter how unwilling you are and how much you want to escape, in this world, there are some things that must be persisted regardless of success or failure, and some things must be guarded regardless of life or death. " Chang Gong was slightly startled, and looked up at the sky, the blue was still blue, and in the distance an eagle was circling around the world, as if it was looking down on this great river and mountain.She squeezed the glass of wine tightly in her hand, "Uncle Hulu, I understand..." "It's good to understand." Hu Luguang smiled relievedly, raised his wine glass and whispered, "My husband swore to promise the country, why should I be angry and regretful? I want to chase the enemy away, and the bow and knife are covered with heavy snow. Chang Gong , everything here is entrusted to you." She nodded, raised her hand and drank the wine in the glass without speaking. The sky in the distance has turned gray with blue, and the thin white clouds gradually condensed into light blue, only a patch of bright red remained on the western horizon. The night in the Mobei Grassland is coming.
It has been half a month since I came to Mobei, except for the first day when Chang Gong went to inspect the defenders stationed at the pass, he never went there again.Tossing and turning all night, sleepless, dark and dark.She only felt that she was walking in the chaotic world like a walking corpse, with unmovable steps, unshakable shadows, and unforgettable voices.Everything filled her ears, her heart, and her body. She understood what Uncle Hulu said.But now she can't do it. She really came here to escape, to escape from the people and things she didn't want to face again, and huddled in this corner of Mobei to lick her wounds. People who can't even protect their most important family members have the ability to protect this country and the people here?She even doubted that if the Turks went to war now, would she be beaten to pieces? That invincible King of Lanling, isn't he - he won't come back. One night a few days later, it suddenly snowed.The white and fine snowflakes fell sparsely from the sky, which was different from the usual heavy snow in Mobei. It didn't have that cold and glamorous meaning, but looked fragile and helpless. Chang Gong tossed and turned on the couch for a long time before gradually falling asleep. In a daze, she seemed to be in the courtyard of her own home. The courtyard was filled with a faint mist, and the black velvet night sky was dotted with a faint crescent moon. The spring breeze brought delicate flower petals, dancing with the wind. She walked forward in a daze, and suddenly saw Xiao Wan standing there quietly under the magnolia tree not far away, her long hair shone in the moonlight, her deep eyes were filled with a smile, as if everything in the sky All the stars fell into his eyes.The corners of his mouth were drawn into a graceful arc, and he strode to her side, bent slightly, and gently stroked her hair: "Chang Gong, when I'm not around, are you obedient?" Unspeakable pain and joy flooded in at the same time, she raised her head in disbelief, and murmured, "Third brother, third brother, you are not dead, right? I had a terrible dream, I actually dreamed that Uncle Jiu killed you, third brother... so you are not dead... that's great, that's great..." He still smiled as usual, "Chang Gong, the third brother really wants to-watch you all the time, watch you get married, watch you have children, watch you grow old, watch you smile at me, but now, three Brother has to go. In the next life, we will watch the sunrise and sunset every day, the flowers bloom and wither, drink with the moon, and live a simple life..." "Third brother, don't go, don't go!" She cried and wanted to hold his hand, but she couldn't hold it, she could only watch him disappear in front of her like this... "Long Gong! Chang Gong!" It wasn't until she was awakened by a rush of voices that she realized that she was just a dream. In such a trance dream, there is no color.Everything is so far away, so indifferent, trying to reach out, but what can be restored is just a cold void.It's like a grand nightmare. When you are awake, you can only capture the obsessive memories in the dream, but you can't leave anything. "Hang Jia, I dreamed about my third brother." She said quietly. "I know." He replied in a low voice, just now when he passed the door, he happened to hear her talking in her sleep, that's why he rushed in rashly. "Why do you have to wake up? If you can't wake up, third brother won't leave." She moved the corner of her mouth slightly. "Don't think about it." Heng Jia's heart was twitched violently. He stretched out his fingers involuntarily, trying to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She didn't dodge, but looked at him fixedly. His expression was a little lonely, a little sad, as if he was aggrieved by a lot of pain that he couldn't tell. "Hang Jia, I can't even protect my elder brother and third brother, how can I protect others?" Heng Jia sighed softly, pulled her into his arms, and hugged the blurred shadow in the moonlight tightly with all his strength, his heart was twisted like a knife, wishing to turn the person in his arms into flesh and blood, and abandon this The mortal body will be wiped out together with her.He understands her pain, it is the pain of the one he loves killing the one he loves, the pain is more desperate than heartbreaking... When she rushed back to Jinyang to save the emperor that time, he —I totally understand. "The one you love has left, maybe it takes more courage to live. It is even more difficult to live happily instead of the one you love. But if you tear the wound again and let the pus and blood flow out, after the pain is over , fresh flesh and blood will grow well. Chang Gong, as long as you get over it, you can continue to face the world with a smile. You are still the invincible King of Lanling on the battlefield." His voice was gentle but firm, "Chang Gong , no matter how painful it is, as long as you are alive, the rain will stop and you will be able to see the beautiful sky.” Chang Gong's body shook slightly, he grabbed his skirt, and buried his whole head deeper into his shoulder socket, his cold heart warmed up bit by bit.Although she has lost a lot, fortunately, he is by her side, just like the star that illuminates the dark night, casting a peaceful starlight on her.No matter when and where, as long as she looks up at the night sky, he exists warmly. "Husband vowed to promise the country, why should he be angry and regretful? If you want to chase the enemy away, the bow and sword will be covered with snow." She repeated the poem in a murmur. Yes, in this world, some things have to go regardless of success or failure. insistent.Some things have to be protected no matter life or death. Some responsibilities must be borne no matter how painful they are. No matter how painful it is, as long as you are alive, the rain will stop and you will be able to see the beautiful sky. Outside the window, the north wind in Mobei roared, blowing up gravel, covering the moonlight, leaving only endless darkness.
The Zhou Kingdom thousands of miles away. The night in Chang'an is very quiet and quiet, the night is as cool as water, the moonlight is flowing, and the faint haze is shrouded in the quiet land. In the air, there is a faint fragrance of wintersweet blooming, which is scattered in every corner of the palace. . A dignified woman came to the current emperor's imperial study, and the guards outside the door immediately whispered respectfully when they saw her, "Your Majesty, why are you here?" The person who came was the queen of Zhou Emperor Yu Wenyong, Princess Ashinayun from Turkic.She smiled and nodded, signaling to the personal maid behind her to follow her into the royal study. As soon as she entered the room, she couldn't help pursing her lips.The emperor may have been overworked and fell asleep just leaning on the desk.Under the dim candlelight, his face exuded a faint luster, but his calm face could not conceal the inherent elegance in his wisdom. His calmness seemed to be deeply rooted in his bone marrow. It was a kind of rebirth after destruction. No matter how acquainted he is, he always keeps a distance from others, so that no one can get close or touch him. Before meeting him, she never knew that there was such a kind of emperor in the world. His life is so simple, he eats three meals a day, there is absolutely no waste, and he treats his servants so kindly, if there is no major fault, he will not punish them.She also knew from the court lady before that the emperor walked the dangerous valleys during his personal conquests, and went through hard work, which ordinary people could not bear, but he himself enjoyed it.When he saw some soldiers walking barefoot during the march, he even took off his boots for the soldiers to wear... All this seemed unbelievable to her. For some reason, she was a little glad she had chosen him.In fact, she was also a little panicked at the time. Although he promised her freedom, not everyone in this world can believe it, especially the emperor.But she is very relieved now, because she knows that if it is him, she will be able to fulfill her promise. What's more, she doesn't hate him either.In other words, she admired him a little. Just as she was thinking, Yu Wenyong had already woken up. When he saw her, he couldn't help being a little surprised, "Queen, why are you here?" She signaled the maid to put the bowl on the table, "The concubine asked them to make some Turkic food, and they made a lot, so I'll bring some for you to taste." Yu Wenyong smiled, "Then I would like to thank the queen." Aye's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, I have something to report." Ashina Yun took a step back very knowingly, "Then the emperor, the concubine will leave first." After saying that, she turned and walked out the door.Aye saluted her and hurried in. "Your Majesty, I heard that Hu Luguang and his second son returned to Yecheng from Mobei." Aye stepped forward and said straight to the point. "Oh, then who is stationed in Mobei now?" Yu Wenyong replied casually. "Your Majesty, you must have never expected that the people stationed in Mobei this time are actually Hulu Hengjia and Lanling King Gao Changgong." When Lanling King Gao Changgong heard this name, Yu Wenyong's heart trembled violently.A familiar stunning face emerged again—unforgettable.He felt as if his heart was being pressed by a heavy object, and a suffocating and depressed air had nowhere to hide, so he could only rush to his heart, making the already chaotic thoughts even more complicated. The woman whom he misses so much and loves and hates at the same time is stationed in the far north of Mobei in the Gobi wind... "She—why did she go to Mobei?" Aye shook his head, "I don't know, but I heard that his third elder brother, King Hejian, was beaten to death by Lord Qi for the crime of treason. My younger brother, if you change the emperor, I'm afraid you won't be able to trust him either." There was a glint in Yu Wenyong's eyes, but he didn't speak. "However, Your Majesty, if Lord Qi really doesn't trust him, that would be good news for us." Aye said hastily, "Maybe we can raid Jinyang or Luoyang while he is stuck in Mobei." "It's not the time yet, don't forget that Hu Luguang is a powerful character," Yu Wenyong's eyes shone with a strange light, "We still need more preparations." Aye looked at him, seemed to have something to say, hesitated for a moment, and said it out, "Your Majesty, since you married the queen, there has been no movement, and now there are only two concubines in your harem. Less. Why don't you choose another batch of beauties to enter the palace at the beginning of spring?" Yu Wenyong glanced at him helplessly, "Aye, you are too much in control, so you still don't back down." "Your Majesty... it is His Majesty's responsibility to give birth to an heir as soon as possible." "Okay, then you can choose two more to enter the palace at will. Now retreat first." Hearing Aye close the door, he was leaning against the window, his amber eyes were like rivers in the mist, soft and bewildered, looking out in a daze at the snowflakes fluttering in the wind.The tiny snowflakes floated on the face, with a cool taste.The purple coat on his body outlines a slightly thin and lonely silhouette. When will such a dream come true?How much more do you have to give up?
The conditions of the Mobei garrison were worse than they imagined.This small city at the border is sparsely populated and lacks supplies.Although the famous Hu Luguang was stationed here, the Turkic people, who were brutal and cruel by nature, would occasionally raid nearby small towns and plunder their property.

When Lanling King Gao Changgong heard this name, Yu Wenyong's heart trembled violently.A familiar stunning face emerged again—unforgettable.He felt as if his heart was being pressed by a heavy object, and a suffocating and depressed air had nowhere to hide, so he could only rush to his heart, making the already chaotic thoughts even more complicated. The woman whom he misses so much and loves and hates at the same time is stationed in the far north of Mobei in the Gobi wind... "She—why did she go to Mobei?" Aye shook his head, "I don't know, but I heard that his third elder brother, King Hejian, was beaten to death by Lord Qi for the crime of treason. My younger brother, if you change the emperor, I'm afraid you won't be able to trust him either." There was a glint in Yu Wenyong's eyes, but he didn't speak. "However, Your Majesty, if Lord Qi really doesn't trust him, that would be good news for us." Aye said hastily, "Maybe we can raid Jinyang or Luoyang while he is stuck in Mobei." "It's not the time yet, don't forget that Hu Luguang is a powerful character," Yu Wenyong's eyes shone with a strange light, "We still need more preparations." Aye looked at him, seemed to have something to say, hesitated for a moment, and said it out, "Your Majesty, since you married the queen, there has been no movement, and now there are only two concubines in your harem. Less. Why don't you choose another batch of beauties to enter the palace at the beginning of spring?" Yu Wenyong glanced at him helplessly, "Aye, you are too much in control, so you still don't back down." "Your Majesty... it is His Majesty's responsibility to give birth to an heir as soon as possible." "Okay, then you can choose two more to enter the palace at will. Now retreat first." Hearing Aye close the door, he was leaning against the window, his amber eyes were like rivers in the mist, soft and bewildered, looking out in a daze at the snowflakes fluttering in the wind.The tiny snowflakes floated on the face, with a cool taste.The purple coat on his body outlines a slightly thin and lonely silhouette. When will such a dream come true?How much more do you have to give up?
