Chapter 37 Chapter Thirty-Six

On the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month of the third year of Yongye, I bid farewell to Feiyan for many days. I sat in the Shangxin Pavilion, leaning over Feibai Wuwen's desk, concentrating on writing a letter to Feibai Feige. I was tired from looking at it, so I looked up and looked outside the window lattice. The ancient red plum blossoms were in full bloom, and the red petals were flying in the white snow. It seemed that Feibai and I hadn't seen each other for four months. The two of us acted as if nothing had happened, and the correspondence was very diligent. He told me every arrangement of his original family affairs. , I don’t agree with his thoughts, and he will patiently argue with me in the letter, but the two of them never mentioned that they are inseparable. He died and was left in Kyoto by the original Qingjiang.

Two days ago, I reminded him that the death of the empress dowager meant a showdown between the two families, and the palace change might be the best way. Feibai replied that he had made full preparations for the Yuan family and told me to Don’t worry, we discussed in the letter about my proposal to garrison troops in Luoyang. Luoyang has beautiful mountains and rivers, abundant land, outstanding people, it’s close to Xi’an, and lies on the Central Plains, looking north to Kyoto. According to defending Qinzhong, you can enter the Central Plains, and easily enter the capital, whether it is a short-term war or a long-term war, it is the best stronghold.

Today is the day of the funeral of Empress Dowager Dou. I did not receive a Feige from Feibai, but I received a letter from Song Minglei. The frequency of my second brother’s writing letters is basically the same as that of Yuan Feibai’s classmate. He told me that there are many soldiers in the city of Kyoto now, and Dou Yuan's family is on the verge of breaking out, but he often mentions that the current Yuan Feibai is not only Yuan Qingjiang's right-hand man, but also the ladies and ladies in Kyoto. Swimming in the lake, tasting tea and reciting poems, but among the many glamorous women, Yuan Feibai seems to be closer to Xuanyuan Shuyi, and frequently goes in and out of Jingxia Palace.

A pain in the left side made me withdraw my thoughts. I sighed softly and stroked my upper left side. The weather is cold and the old injury is always aching. Although Fei Bai and Song Minglei both sent back a lot of supplements from Kyoto, Zhao Menglin also came to see He hit me many times, but it didn't work. He looked at me more and more worried every time. I don't know why, but my heart was always beating, so I had to comfort myself again that it might be caused by an old injury. I checked the letter to Feibai again, and then put it in the small bamboo tube. I went smoothly, went to the dovecote by myself, chose a very fat carrier pigeon, tied it to her little red leg, and then threw the big fat carrier pigeon into the sky with all my might, Wei Hu smiled aside.

Watching the big fat pigeon disappear into the snowy sky, I yawned, put on a white fox-haired crane cloak with a red feather veil, and came to the atrium. Looking at the fragrant red plums in the garden, my mood eased a little. Time flies, the broken Qiong is chaotic, and it is the season of red plum blossoms. I really didn't expect that it has been a whole year since I entered Xifeng Garden... I stretched out my hand to catch a piece of red plum petals mixed with snowflakes. I watched the snowflakes melt on the plum petals, and the red plums became more beautiful when reflected. I couldn't help but think of the red-haired Feijue. Did I not wait for him, or did I despise me because I was inseparable from life to life...

In the midst of my thoughts, I didn't notice that Qi Fang bent down and handed the silver mink collar, "Miss, please take it, Dr. Zhao told you not to suffer from the cold again." I came back to my senses, took the wind collar, and was about to go back, when a soft call came: "Wooden girl!" I immediately turned around and stood there in a daze. There was a red-haired boy with a smile on his face. He was dressed in a white robe with mink fur and his pale cheeks were the same color as the snowy sky. He was standing quietly between the sky and the red plum blossoms. In the rain, Ren's long red hair was hanging loose, staring at me deeply.

Plum blossoms want to tell lovesickness, lovesickness tears plum blossom rain. I couldn't make any sound, I just greedily stared at his handsome and quiet smile, and forced a smile at him. Qi Fang has never seen Yuan Feijue before, but he also understands that the person who came here must be a peerless master since he can escape the Plum Blossom Seven Star Formation without a sound. He attacked Yuan Feijue like lightning, but Yuan Feijue lightly I turned sideways and avoided his attack. In the blink of an eye, he came to my eyes, and I saw a few strands of red hair floating to the tip of my nose.

He smiled softly at me again, ignored Qi Fang who was attacking behind him, and without looking back, he suddenly picked me up and flew away from Xifengyuan. I hugged Feijue tightly with my arms, and buried my face deeply in Feijue's arms. At this moment, I don't care where he takes me, no matter what he wants to do to me, I have no regrets, as long as I can be with you He's fine together. After a while, Feijue took me to a place full of people. I opened my eyes and realized that I had come to the city of Xi’an at the foot of the mountain. It's the Lantern Festival! Although it is a national funeral, the scale of the festival has been reduced a lot as usual, but the festive atmosphere still infects everyone's heart. The lights seem to moisten every dry heart in the world and warm every cold body When I got up, I looked at Feijue, and Feijue smiled softly: "Mu girl, have you forgotten? Today is the Lantern Festival." He put on a silver sable collar for me, and said softly: "My favorite Your sapphire song "Yuanxiao", so I want you to accompany me to watch the lantern."

I didn't try to adjust the crooked wind collar he tied for me, but I held his hand tightly, nodded with a smile and said yes, and I dragged him to walk along the most brightly lit Suzaku Street and started to swim. Fire trees and silver flowers close, star bridge iron locks open, The tree of lights shines thousands of times.The bright moon comes one by one. All the prostitutes are free, and all the songs are full of plums. Jinwu can't help the night, and the jade leaks don't remind each other. Both of us seem to have forgotten the terrible inseparability. We are just an ordinary couple on the Lantern Festival, holding hands, shoulder to shoulder, and swimming around the Lantern Festival with ease.

I begged Feijue to buy me candied haws, but he found that it was different from the deliciousness of kebabs, so he not only cleaned up his own candied haws, but also drooled and looked at my hand. The half-eaten skewer on the table, I handed mine lovingly, and watched him continue to munch, contented. I bought a pure white ribbon and tied his brocade-like red hair, revealing his face, which became more and more youthful, handsome and full of vigor. After eating glutinous rice balls, we came to a giant lantern building with a width of 20 rooms and a height of about 150 feet. The golden light was shining brightly, which was extremely spectacular.

This lighthouse is fantasy and exquisite, beautiful and beautiful, and what it wants to express is the Penglai fairyland, which reflects each other with the team of eight immortals stepping up and down under the lighthouse. Feijue and I smiled and pointed, and he sneered: "Eastern wind blows flowers and thousands of trees at night. More blows fall, stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are fragrant all over the road. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, and the light of the jade pot turns. Fish Dragon Dance..." At this time, the gongs and drums were banging, and the lion dance team jumped out from the lighthouse and rushed into the crowd. I didn't hold Feijue's hand firmly, and was scattered by the crowd. Feijue has bad eyesight, where will he be pushed by the crowd?My heart became anxious, and I shouted Feijue's name loudly, but it was insignificantly submerged in the sound of the sea shaking the sky. Half a stick of incense passed, and the lion dance team entered the climax of the performance. I was so anxious that I was about to jump out. I had a plan, so I Shi Qinggong jumped onto the Penglai Lantern Tower, regardless of a bloated rich man and Several of his concubines first exclaimed, and then applauded enthusiastically. They just looked down on Feijue eagerly. Moth snow willow golden strands, laughter filled with dark fragrance.People look for him thousands of Baidu.Looking back suddenly, the man was there, in a dimly lit place. My eyes stopped at the opposite side of the lamp building, a red shadow entered my eyelids, and the big stone in my heart was released. However, all the beauty around me suddenly faded away, and all the noise and cheers quietly disappeared, leaving only the lonely red shadow across the street. Feijue sat high and calmly on the opposite side of the slightly smaller Three Kingdoms Lantern Building, with his legs crossed in his hands, his red hair a little messy, blown by the night wind to his young cheeks, those bright wine eyes, terrified and sad. He stared at me desperately, helplessly, deeply, like a lost and bewildered puppy, which aroused pity. Since then, this picture has been engraved in my mind forever, and I can't get it out of my life. The lion dance team finally passed, and the long dragon-like crowd gradually moved forward. Some places were cleared in front of the lighthouse. I jumped off the lighthouse and ran across the street. At first, he shook his hand at him, and then he smiled in relief, jumped down, hugged me tightly, and then cried sadly: "Mu girl, I thought I would never find you again?" "How come? I've been looking for you everywhere, you forgot, I have the magic weapon you gave me," I took out the silver chain that had been hanging around my neck, clasped my hands with him, and gently put on the silver medal, Softly comforting: "As long as I wear this chain, no matter where I go or what kind of person I become, we will recognize each other." Feijue sobbed a few times, and smiled with satisfaction, then he put away his smile, looked at me for a while, seemed to be trying to muster up courage, and said seriously: "Mu girl, the war is about to start, follow me back Western Regions." what! ?I wondered, "What war?" Just as I was about to ask in detail, Fei Jue shook my shoulder and said, "If you are inseparable, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to find an antidote." I smiled with tears in my eyes, "Then what if I can't find it?" "I..." Before Feijue finished speaking, there was a loud noise, and the ground shook accordingly. The crowd began to be a little puzzled, but the loud noise kept coming, and every time there was a loud noise, the ground shook violently, and the crowd began to shake. There was a commotion. I was startled, isn't this the sound of the siege artillery? At this time, a column of troops rushed over from the south gate, and shouted anxiously: "Master Wang Zongbing has an order, the Nanzhao soldiers are coming in, everyone hide quickly .” The ancestors of the Yuan family were heroes in the founding of the country. Xi'an is a land bestowed by the emperor Taizu. The people of Xi'an have accepted the protection of the Yuan family for generations. They have not experienced the devastation of war for hundreds of years. The extreme disbelief is shown in the On the face of every Xi'an person, fear spreads in the heart of every Xi'an person. My waist tightened, and Feijue carried me back to the lamp tower: "I didn't expect Nanzhao to come so soon." The crowd began to scream, and shrill calls rose from all directions, mercilessly replacing the silk and bamboo orchestras, children crying for their mothers, husbands calling for their lost wives, servants looking for the owner of Nian Ji, the crowd desperately pushing each other, like It was a fish that suddenly fell into the fisherman's net, panicked and lost its way. In an instant, the beautiful scene of the Shangyuan Festival in the world turned into a Shura field squeezed by crowds. Crowds gathered from all directions, and then swarmed and disappeared in the once noisy street. Feijue and I jumped down, and Feijue looked serious: "My spies in Nanzhao told me that Su Rong, prime minister of the left, was murdered ten days ago The crime of rebellion was executed, and the main combat faction headed by Prince Yugang was very close to the Dou family. Before I came to you, Guo Erren told me that at the moment of the empress dowager's burial in the morning, the Dou family The palace change was launched, and the eldest princess was forced to die, and the current change must be that the Dou family ordered Nanzhao to attack Xi'an by surprise, so that they could kill people with a knife and eradicate the original family's lair." I was shocked: "Then what to do, we have to go back and inform the people in Ziqi Villa to prepare for the war." Feijue looked at me and sighed: "It's too late, Mu..." The sound of cannons was still heard one after another. In the earthquake, another group of fleeing people rushed in. Feijue protected me and retreated to the side of the street. A group of black armored cavalry appeared in the crowd. Wearing a black veil, he approached us, bowed slightly on his horse and performed a Turkic salute, then removed the veil, his eyes were like torches, and he looked down at us with unconcealed excitement: "Young Master, the Hou Ye has already sent a hundred thousand urgency to Feiyan. Gold medal, call him to join Luoyang, now that Heshuo is empty of defense, East Turkic will surely take advantage of the vacancy and go to the Eastern Court, it is a good time for me to return to Western Turkic." He suddenly saw me, and his face sank again: "The old slave looked for the young master everywhere, but it turned out that Miss Tongmu was enjoying the lantern festival together." Feijue pulled me up to Guo Erren, and said firmly, "Guerren, I want to take the wooden girl back to Turkic." Guo Erren said coldly: "Young Master, don't forget that Miss Mu is inseparable from life to life, and she is destined to be the third master Bai's person in this life." "So what, the person I like, no one can get involved." Guoerren's face was even more ugly, he looked at me, then at Biying behind him, his gray eyes glanced at me: "Young master, it's not difficult for you to take Mu girl back to Turkic, but you have to ask first. Can Miss Mu go back with you?" The cannon fire was louder and closer than before, and the Dawan Liangju under Guo Erren began to move impatiently, calling in a low voice from time to time: "Ms. Mu, the Marquis is now in Luoyang, and your younger sister and righteous brother Song Minglei have been chased to death at the same time. A few thousand-mile horses just rushed back to Xi'an to rescue the second lady, but according to the old man, they are mainly here to pick you up. If you go back to Turkic with us, then you have to think about it, and you will never be able to I’ve seen other little Wuyis.” Guo Erren’s gray eyes were cold, and he leaned over and said sharply to me: “If you want to serve the young master, you can, but you must swear a poisonous oath to me, unless you help me become the master.” Central Plains, otherwise you will not be able to step into the Central Plains for the rest of your life, and if you break this oath, random arrows will pierce your heart." Such a poisonous oath!I thought to myself, but if I could go to the Western Regions with Feijue, break free from the shackles of the original family, be with my beloved Feijue, and realize my long-term protection, how wonderful it would be. Looking at Feijue's earnest face, In an instant, my heart was moved, and I also had the right to pursue happiness. "Mujin," Biying's voice came, she looked at me worriedly on the horse, I suddenly came to my senses, remembering that Yu Feiyan gave up her resignation, her life of boating in Bibo, and me The only sister and Song Minglei who rushed back to Xi'an to save me... Mujin, Mujin, how can you be so selfish, have you forgotten the kindness that Xiao Wuyi has done to you? I let go of Feijue's hand and said with a smile: "Feijue, Mr. Guo is right, I can't go back with you, because I can't leave Jinxiu and Second Brother Song behind." But Feijue grabbed my hand again: "Don't talk nonsense, now Nanzhao is on the way to Ziqi Mountain Villa, aren't you going to die when you go back?" I forced myself to smile, and tried to make my voice more confident: "Don't worry, I know a secret way back to Zhuangzi, and you don't have to worry, I am Hua Hibiscus, I will naturally find a way to survive, and I have yours." Baby bless me, we will definitely meet again." The sound of the cannon came closer, and many arrows were shot at. The thirteen teenagers led by Guo Erren waved their scimitars to block them. Feijue let go of his hand and said firmly, "Then... Let's go back together." "You mustn't, young master, have you forgotten that Her Majesty the Empress is waiting for you in Kashgar City? I don't have time to wait, let's go." Guo Erren stepped forward, pulled a big black horse, Pushing it into Feijue's hand, Feijue pursed his lips tightly, his eyes struggling. After a long time, Feijue ran over, but put the rein in my hand: "Mu girl, his name is Wula, and he will be yours from now on. Remember to ride him to the Western Regions to find me." I gripped the rein tightly, nodded vigorously, tears welled up in my eyes, and my heart felt like a knife was piercing, Biying trotted over on the horse: "Mujin, I will go back with you." I shook my head: "No, Biying, you don't have martial arts, it will be dangerous to go back with me, you go back to the Western Regions with Fourth Master first, after this calamity, we will definitely meet again." Biying was about to argue a few more words, but I stopped her sharply. She burst into tears and refused to let go of my hand. I took her to Guo Erren's place, looked into Guo Erren's gray eyes and said, "My family three Sister... just ask Mr. to take care of her." Guo Erren's gray eyes looked at me in surprise: "Miss Mu is so courageous, please rest assured, I will definitely protect Miss Ying comprehensively." I took one more look at Biying, shook off Biying's hand cruelly, turned around and got on the horse, and left without looking back, nor did I dare to look back. I ran a certain distance against the flow of people fleeing, and then I turned my head quietly. I saw Feijue and his party also started to move forward. Biying's shoulders were trembling, and she was crying on the horse with her mouth covered. I don't know when the belt loosened. His red hair fluttered in the night wind. He twisted his body and looked at me with both eyes. He was so flustered and heartbroken that there was no focus. This scene in this troubled world did not comfort me at all, but instead It made my heart feel even more uncomfortable. Wula was unexpectedly docile, and worthy of being a famous horse in Dawan, she traveled very fast. I drove her back from Xilin on a small path, and I saw thick smoke in front of me from a distance, and my heart sank a bit. When I rushed to the villa, I only felt dry mouth. Ziqi Villa, the place where I lived for six years, used to be full of tents dancing with dragons, curtains flying with colorful phoenixes, gold and silver glowing, jewels competing for splendor, and the Ziqi Villa, a place of prosperity, turned into flames everywhere overnight. Thick smoke, a hell of dead bodies, soldiers from various gardens and Nanzhao soldiers are fighting, but more Nanzhao soldiers are robbing jewels and maids, fragments of jade are scattered all over the place, panic shouts fill the eardrums, a Nanzhao Zhao Bing saw me and rushed over with a grinning grin. I lifted my right wrist towards him, and he fell to the ground in response. I took advantage of the moment when the rest of the soldiers were stunned, and rushed towards Xifengyuan with a swoosh. In front of Xifeng Garden, the corpses of several Seven-star Cranes, all covered with arrows, fell in disorder by the side of Mochou Lake. The corpses of a dozen Nanzhao soldiers floated on the water, and the once clear lake water was completely covered The blood was stained red, pungent and bloody, flowing silently. There was the sound of fighting in the courtyard, and I yelled: "Suhui, Sanniang." I rushed into Xifengyuan, and the two A cold-faced guard was fighting Nanzhao soldiers hard, and Lu Yuan was also firing at Nanzhao soldiers with his improved bow and crossbow, his bloodshot eyes were extremely crazy. To my surprise, Xie Sanniang swung two axes, her face was covered with blood, and calmly chopped down the enemy soldiers. Between clicks, the Nanzhao soldiers spurted blood and fell to the ground like piles of dry wood. She was always bloated But suddenly she was slender and nimble. When she saw me, she was shocked and shouted, "Wei Hu, Miss Mu is back, take him and Suhui away." Countless Nanzhao soldiers rushed towards me, but immediately two figures flew over and danced a sword shadow to block the Nanzhao soldiers. It was Su Hui and Wei Hu who was covered in blood. Su Hui was panting, with a small face Gloomy, while wielding his sword, his eyes flashed with ecstasy: "Mu girl, you're back, Qi Fang went to look for you, and he hasn't come back yet." I turned to Wei Hu, startled in my heart, only to find that his left arm had been amputated at the root, bleeding profusely, and the blood all over the body came from the severed arm.Wei Hu asked Suhui to jump on my Ula, then pulled down a large area, opened the way in front, and led us to the Xinxin Pavilion. He kicked the door to let us enter the door, then closed the door tightly with one hand, and came When I went to the shrine where the portrait of Mrs. Xie was hung, I moved the mechanism behind the tablet, and the portrait of Mrs. Xie was put away at once, revealing the secret door. He opened the secret door and let Suhui and I go in. At first, I thought Wula couldn’t get in, but no. Thinking that the secret passage inside is very wide, Wula also squeezed in obediently. Wei Hu closed the secret door with one hand and urged us to run forward, so we fell into darkness. Suhui pulled me and wept secretly: "Ms. Mu, can I see my mother again?" Fortunately, the light in the tunnel was dim, so he couldn't see the tears on my face. I encouraged him that he would, and asked earnestly, "Wei Zhuangshi, how are you? You need to take medicine immediately." In the darkness, I didn't hear Wei Hu's answer, only the sound of his heavy breathing. After a while, a bright light appeared, and Wei Hu said in a deep voice: "Here, Miss Mu, this tunnel leads directly to the dark village of Yuan's family in Huashan. Both Miss and Mrs. Jin are there, we are safe." As soon as he finished speaking, his body collapsed like an iron tower. Suhui and I wept and exclaimed, and a familiar figure was attracted, which was Song Minglei with a tired and desperate face. He couldn't help but smile when he saw us. Song Minglei tapped many big points on Wei Hu's body to stop the bleeding, and then the three of us hurriedly carried Wei Hu back to Anzhuang.
