Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

May nineteenth. On this day, Shanyou still did not attack the city, so he passed it safely. Accompanied by Chunyu brothers and sisters, Qiu Yiyao toured Dancheng during the day.Shen Shi returned to the government office, had a short rest, and then had dinner, and then he came to the small courtyard where Feng Chenxue lived alone. At that moment, the setting sun was melting gold, and the sunset was like satin, and one person quietly entered Dan City through the north gate. Yan Yunsun, the capital of Yuezhou. With his arrival, no one in Dancheng expected that Chunyu Fu Yin and Deputy Sun Du rushed to welcome the lord of the prefecture into the mansion.After hearing the news, the Chunyu brothers and sisters rushed to the government office out of curiosity, and then saw the rumored romantic son Yan Yunsun.

At the first glance, the siblings thought, just looking at this appearance, this person does have the ability to be romantic. I looked at him for the second and third time, but I felt that he was full of energy, his speech and demeanor were elegant, and there was no trace of the frivolity of a dude. He immediately suspected that those before were just rumors, and he was clearly dignified and solemn. state capital. After exchanging greetings and greetings, he said that he came here this time to boost the morale of the generals of the warlords. At this moment, the powerful enemies looked around, and asked the governor and the deputy capital to focus on Dancheng and not to worry about him.

Those words made the people present nod their heads again and again.But Chunyu brothers and sisters thought in their hearts, if the warlord didn't come here with Brother Qiu?Of course, it was just doubts in my heart, without words. Yanzhou Mansion is the biggest official in Yuezhou, who holds the power of life and death in a state. Deputy Sun Du tried his best to curry favor with him. Please ask the master of the state capital to move to the deputy capital's mansion.For this point, the Yanzhou government readily agreed.So Deputy Sun Du hurriedly ordered his servants to move the luggage of Mr. Zhou to the Deputy Capital's mansion, as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word.But he was overthinking this. Although Yan Yunsun was not very picky since he was a child, he would never wrong him, so he naturally chose a comfortable place to live.He then said that the capital of Benzhou often needed to discuss matters with the deputy capital, so he also moved Captain Qiu's luggage to the deputy capital's residence.Vice President Sun Du naturally happily agreed.

After a round of tea, Yanzhou Mansion glanced over and asked why he didn't see Captain Qiu. Chunyu Fu Yin hurriedly replied that he had sent someone to invite the captain. Just as he was talking, Yan Xu arrived. He greeted his young master first, and then replied that the captain went to ask an expert in the city for advice on how to defend against the enemy. Before leaving, he told him that if there was something urgent, he could go to Qingyang Lane to find him. Deputy Sun Du heard this, and hurriedly said that he was going to find Captain Qiu and come back. This time the Yanzhou government did not respond, only saying that Dancheng is extraordinary now, the governor and the deputy have important responsibilities, so there is no need to bother about it.Turning his eyes, he pointed at Chunyu Shenxiu, and asked Mr. Chunyu's young master to lead the way for the Benzhou government, and the Benzhou government also stopped by to see Dancheng and understand the public opinion.

Since the state government spoke, of course those present agreed. So Chunyu Fu Yin resigned, Sun Du Fu went back to Du Fu Fu's mansion to manage the residence of the governor, Chunyu Shenxiu led Yanzhou Mansion to find Qiu Yiyao, Chunyu Shenyi naturally followed. On the street, Yan Yunsun was swinging a red sandalwood folding fan, accompanied by Chunyu brother and sister, followed by Yan Xu and Yan Xin. The two brothers and sisters peeped in from time to time, wondering if they should take the Yanzhou mansion to the small courtyard where Feng Chenxue lives, or should they go to the small courtyard first to invite Qiu Yiyao back?

Walking through a street, Yan Yunsun saw a medicine shop beside the street, paused, and asked, "How is Mr. Qiu?" "Master, you look good." Yan Xu replied. "Oh." Yan Yunsun listened, but there was no joy on his face, the sunset glow fell on his brows and eyes, reflecting worry. Chunyu brothers and sisters saw it, and couldn't help thinking. Yan Xin, who was on the side, listened, but said: "Master, you didn't ask how Mr. Qiu looks like, but how his condition is, and whether he has been taken care of in the past few days, but he is taking medicine on time every day, and his daily diet how."

"I've been exhausted from running around for the past few days, but today I look particularly refreshed." So Yan Xu replied. "You don't know what to say unless you call me." Yan Xin shook her head. "Is your complexion exceptionally good? Don't worry about something..." Yan Yunsun murmured, and the second half of the sentence did indeed hide his voice. Chunyu brothers and sisters looked at each other and decided to lead this man to Feng Chenxue's small courtyard. The small courtyard is not far from the government office, and after turning two streets, you will arrive at Qingyang Lane.

Outside the quiet courtyard, Chunyu Shenxiu knocked on the door, and the one who answered was naturally Kong Zhao. As soon as the door opened, Yan Yunsun's eyes suddenly puffed up, and Yan Xin behind him also muttered, "This girl looks familiar." "You... aren't you the ninth son of the Yan family? How did you get here?" Kong Zhao looked at Yan Yunsun and was also taken aback. Yan Yunsun pointed her fan at her, also very shocked, "You are...that little beauty? Why are you here?" He couldn't remember the name of this little beauty, but he remembered that she was Princess Chenhua's maid.

When the Chunyu brothers and sisters heard this, their first reaction was that the Yanzhou mansion belonged to the little beauty, and they really thought, frivolously, it seems that those rumors are not rumors in the whole city, and then they became confused, listening to this tone... What?They know each other again? The yard is not big, and the door of the room is also open. Their voices have alarmed the people in the room. Qiu Yiyao walked out of the house, and she was also surprised when she saw Yan Yunsun, "Yunsun!" "Yiyao." Yan Yun's Sun Jianqiu Yiyao just called out when he came out, his eyes glanced at the figure stepping out behind him, "Bang!", the red sandalwood folding fan in his hand fell to the ground, Yan Xin even screamed "" Princess!"

So the courtyard was full of astonishment, only Qiu Yiyao and Feng Chenxue were the most calm. "Yunsun, why are you here?" Qiu Yi called out, calling Yan Yunsun's soul back, so he raised his foot and kicked to the side, Yan Xin shouted, "My lord, why are you kicking me? It hurts me to death." "I want to see if I'm dreaming, or if I was invited to the Heavenly Court because of the appreciation of the Emperor of Heaven." Yan Yunsun picked up the folding fan, adjusted his clothes, and walked into the courtyard gracefully, first pointing to the plant by the wall. Taoshu nodded and said, "In another month, there will be peaches to eat." Then he pointed to the snow-white pearl plum tree, and praised repeatedly, "What a beautiful flower." Finally, his eyes fell on Feng Chenxue, Binbin He clasped his fists in a polite salute, "A mere Yan Yunsun, do you dare to ask this beauty's name?"

Feng Chenxue looked at Yan Yunsun, and then talked for a moment: "You haven't changed." Yan Yunsun was dumbfounded when he heard the words, straightened up and looked at her, then rubbed his eyes, and said, "It's really you?!" Feng Chenxue nodded. Yan Yunsun turned his head to look at Qiu Yiyao, with a rare blank expression on his face, "This...what's going on?" Qiu Yiyao sighed softly, knowing that she couldn't hide it today. "That's a long story." Hearing this, Yan Yunsun turned his head and glanced at Chunyu's brothers and sisters, and then said: "Yan Xin, Yan Xu, I want to taste wine and chat with Mr. Qiu, you and Mr. Chunyu and Miss go to buy some good wine and vegetables and come back." "Yes." Yan Xin and Yan Xu agreed.Then he looked at Chunyu brothers and sisters. Chunyu brother and sister looked at Feng Chenxue, their faces were calm, but their hearts were full of panic.Since they got along with her, they asked themselves if they took her as their confidant, but now, it seems that they are just pretending to be affectionate, and she is nothing but hypocrisy.The two gritted their teeth.Turned around abruptly and left. "Shenxiu, Shenyi." Feng Chenxue suddenly called out behind them. The two brothers and sisters stopped and said without looking back: "Don't worry, we don't know anything." Then they left. "Listen to me before leaving." Feng Chenxue's voice came again. The siblings startled, then turned around. Feng Chenxue looked at them without any shame or guilt, her expression was still calm and her eyes were clear. "It is Feng Chenxue who intersects with you. I am Feng Chenxue at the moment, and I will only be Feng Chenxue in the future. I don't talk about the past because it has nothing to do with our intersecting. Talking about it will only increase trouble. So you If you recognize Feng Chenxue as a friend, then you can leave, if you want to know the past, then you can stay." After she finished speaking, she looked at them quietly. Chunyu brother and sister stood in a daze for a moment, then they both smiled brightly, turned and went out, Yan Xin and Yan Xu naturally followed. But after walking out of the alley, Chunyu brothers and sisters looked at each other with remorse. "Actually, I really want to know." Chunyu sighed deeply, feeling uncomfortable like a cat scratching in his heart. "Who told you to pretend to be generous." Chunyu Shenxiu sneered at her sister. "You're not the same." Chunyu dismissed it deeply. "Ah!" Chunyu Shenxiu scratched his head, and said, "How about we go back and eavesdrop?" Chunyu thought about it deeply, and said: "With Chenxue's martial arts, we will definitely be found out for eavesdropping, and it will be even more embarrassing." "Oh!" The siblings sighed in unison. "Pfft!" Yan Xin couldn't help laughing. So the brothers and sisters turned their heads together and looked at Yan Xin and Yan Xu, "You both know it, right? Tell us about it." Yan Xin shook her head, "I said I'm going to lose my head." Yan Xu said, "I haven't seen that girl before." Both siblings fixed their eyes on Yan Xin, "Why did you say you're going to lose your head?" Yan Xin didn't answer, just shook her head. Seeing his expression, the brothers and sisters had no choice but to give up, and then muttered to themselves as they walked. "Yan Xin called Princess Chenxue just now, it seems that what Dad said is correct, she is indeed from an extraordinary background." Chunyu folded his arms on his chest deeply and thought. "Yeah." Chunyu Shenxiu nodded, "Thinking about it carefully, Second Brother Qiu and Yanzhou Mansion are both from noble families, so it's quite extraordinary to meet them, but I didn't expect to be a princess." Chunyu said deeply again: "Looking at Chen Xue's friendship with Second Brother Qiu, maybe the two childhood sweethearts promised each other for life, but the emperor's old man disagreed and beat the mandarin ducks, so Chen Xue sneaked out of the palace to marry Second Brother Qiu elopement." Yan Xin's eyebrows twitched when she heard this. "Stupid," Chunyu Shenxiu spat at his sister, "If they eloped, they would still be together. Just look at how Chen Xue and Brother Qiu met that day, and you would know that they have been separated for many years. Brother Qiu even thought that Chen Xue was dead. .” "That's right, so what's going on?" "Then only they know, alas! If I knew it, I would have stayed in the yard." "Come on, let's go buy some food and drink and go back, maybe we can hear some in time." "rational." So the brothers and sisters dragged Yan Xin and Yan Xu to Ningxiangju quickly. In the small courtyard, Feng Chenxue stepped down the steps and said: "The courtyard is brighter and cooler, so let's talk here." There is a stone table in the yard with four stone benches, Feng Chenxue went to sit at the table, Qiu Yiyao and Yan Yunsun also went to sit down, Kong Zhao went to make tea to entertain the guests. "You didn't stay in Zecheng, why did you come to Dancheng?" Qiu Yiyao first asked Yan Yunsun. Yan Yunsun tilted his head to look at Zhenzhumei, and said, "This Yuezhou is under my management, so I can go wherever I like!" After thinking about it for a while, Qiu Yiyao understood, and sighed slightly: "Why do you need to make this trip, I will take care of myself." Yan Yunsun still twisted his neck, snorted with disdain in his nostrils, and said: "Dancheng is in danger, and as the state capital, I naturally want to sit in the town personally." Qiu Yi smiled and shook her head. "It's my turn to ask." Yan Yunsun turned his head and stared at Qiu Yiyao with a rare serious expression, "Why are you and the princess here?" "I didn't know Chen Xue was here, and I met by chance after arriving in Dancheng." Qiu Yiyao replied. "Oh?" Yan Yunsun turned his gaze to Feng Chenxue, and his eyes fell on that peerless and beautiful face, he couldn't help thinking, "Why is the princess here? Aren't you... What happened to the fire back then? " Feng Chenxue glanced at him, and said indifferently: "When the palace was on fire, when I rushed back, I found out that my mother was still in the fire, relying on learning a little kung fu, I rushed into the fire and tried to save my mother, but it was too late. "Speaking of the regrets of the year, she looked slightly gloomy. Qiu Yiyao couldn't help looking at her, her eyes were gentle and comforting. Feng Chenxue felt his gaze, and looked sideways at him, with a trace of warmth in her cold eyes. Yan Yunsun was startled, and stared blankly, his mind was very complicated. Feng Chenxue looked back at Yan Yunsun, "I have been trapped in a high wall since I was a child, and I have never seen the outside world. I have always yearned for a life of freedom and carefree life. The marriage contract with Yi Ting, from the beginning to the end, is optional for him. I was also bound, so I took the opportunity to feign death and left the imperial capital. After burying my mother, I took Kong Zhao to travel around, but I didn't expect to meet Yiyao in Dancheng." The pain of the past, the pain of several years Time, she has finished talking about it in a few words, and she thinks that the relationship with Yiyao is their business, so there is no need to tell others. Regarding Feng Chenxue's simple narration, Yan Yunsun didn't show doubts on his face, nor did he ask further questions, he just nodded lightly, and then gave a soft "oh". There was silence in the courtyard for a while. Yan Yunsun looked at the peach tree on the opposite side. The sun had not faded at this moment, and some crimson was plated among the branches and leaves, adding a little brilliance.So he remembered that year, it was also such a moment, and it was also such a sunset. In the red plum garden, he quietly looked at her who was thinking, and then she talked to him, and she toasted him. Tea, it is said that 'to make friends with tea, it must be like the fragrance of tea, which is mellow and long-lasting'. Clean and long... But the next day, she died in the fire. In fact, he still has a lot of things to ask in his heart, and he also knows that she hasn't said all of them, but at this moment, he doesn't want to ask, and he doesn't want to know all about it, so he just wants that simple statement. She meets Yiyao and Dancheng by chance. She and him also met by chance in Dancheng. That's all. Kong Zhao came out with the teapot in hand, and seeing the three of them sitting quietly, he couldn't help being a little surprised, this Young Master Yan Jiu was not such a quiet person before.Put the tea in front of the three of them one by one. "Kong Zhao, please fetch that map on the table." Qiu Yiyao said suddenly. "En." Kong Zhao nodded, went into the room and took the map pressed by the paperweight on the table and handed it to Qiu Yiyao. Qiu Yiyao spread the map on the stone table and said: "Yunsun, I was discussing Shanyou with Chen Xue just now, since you are here, I should talk to you." "Huh?" Yan Yunsun recovered. Qiu Yi looked up at him, and said: "I only found out when I came to Dancheng. It turns out that elder brother has been to Shanyou, and he is now in Jingcheng." "Has he been to Shanyou?" Yan Yunsun was surprised. "Yes, I also met Chenxue on the road and went to Shanyou country together. It was his subordinates who found out that Shanyou and Caifei jointly attacked our dynasty." Qiu Yiyao said. "What? With you?" Yan Yunsun's eyes widened, "Then he..." Feng Chenxue shook his head, "He doesn't know who I am. Although I have a marriage contract with him, we have never met. So..." He looked at Yan Yunsun, his bright eyes were clear and firm, "The only acquaintance with him is Feng Chenxue, an accidental fate, nothing else." Yan Yunsun couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart.Then he calmed down and thought about Qiu Yiting's actions, "He went to Shanyou? Why did he go to Shanyou? He's in Jingcheng right now..." He suddenly raised his head, "Lu Dutong also went to Jingcheng, Could it be that Yiting is..." Qiu Yiyao nodded slightly.Yan Yunsun's eyes lit up, and he stood up abruptly, "This kid... he actually made such an idea and didn't tell me a word!" "Based on the time, when my eldest brother went to Shanyou, he didn't know that you and I would come to Yuezhou." Qiu Yiyao reminded him. "Then he still dares to do that!" Yan Yunsun was even more unconvinced. Qiu Yiyao smiled and said: "Of course he has a plan in mind." "Hmph!" Yan Yunsun sat down again, "Now that I think about it, the reason why Lu Dutong went to Jingcheng is probably because of his order." "En." Qiu Yiyao nodded. "Shanyou and Caifei's joint attack is now being used by the elder brother." "So it seems..." Yan Yunsun's mind turned quickly, and he came up with an answer in an instant, "Not only do we want to defend the city and retreat from the enemy, but we should also help him?" Qiu Yiyao nodded, "Defense in vain and attack in reality." "It shouldn't be difficult for us to defend Pill City." Yan Yunsun thought about the current strength of Pill City. "This is also because we got the news early so that the reinforcements arrived early, and Shan Youyin never expected that he did not storm the enemy when he first arrived in Dancheng, so he missed the opportunity. Now they have been stationed in the south, so we can see what it means It is still a quick break of the city, not a long-term siege." Qiu Yiyao analyzed. "En." Yan Yunsun nodded while thinking, "It will take time to besieged, and it is not their wish." "Currently Dancheng has 80,000 troops, which is comparable to them, and I am not afraid of their fierce attack." Qiu Yiyao said, "I have already asked the Governor of Chunyu. Because Dancheng is located on the border, it is often besieged when invaded by foreign enemies. Therefore, everyone in Dancheng is prepared for danger in times of peace, and there are a lot of weapons, food and grass hoarded in the city, plus the food and grass we brought, it will not be a problem to guard Dancheng for a year or so." Yan Yunsun laughed and said: "That boy Yiting will take a year, since he has already planned, maybe half a month and one month will be enough." Then he asked Qiu Yiyao, "What are you going to do?" "The first thing is the word 'drag'." Qiu Yi looked at the map. "Oh?" Yan Yunsun raised his eyebrows. "If you hold back their 100,000 troops, it will be easier for the elder brother to win." Qiu Yiyao said, "This is just one aspect. Besides, here..." He pointed his hand at the map, "I want to make preparations early." Yan Yunsun looked at the map, concentrated for a moment, then nodded, "I see, you are not just procrastinating, you also want to make them come and go." "Since we've reached this point, we can't give up halfway." The words were plain but with a hint of force, and a bright light shone from his always gentle and refined eyes. Yan Yunsun raised his head to see, raised his brows lightly, then smiled knowingly, and said: "You just do it." Qiu Yiyao also smiled slightly, looked at him, and said: "As the state capital, since I'm here, I have two things for you." "Oh?" Yan Yunsun's eyes twitched, and he was romantic, "Why do you need me to help?" "One is Deputy Sun Du." Qiu Yiyao said, "You are idle, and he will leave it to you. The other is that your state capital also goes around the city from time to time, and the people will naturally feel at ease when they look at you. some." "I still think it's an important task." Yan Yunsun waved his folding fan, "It's easy, just leave it to me." Qiu Yi smiled, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip. When they were talking, Feng Chenxue just sat quietly at the side, sipping the fragrant tea, and occasionally glanced at the map. "Well, this tea is really fragrant." Yan Yunsun took a sip of the tea and couldn't help praising him, then turned to look at Kong Zhao's charming face, and naturally said sweet words, "Little beauty, your skill in making tea is really good, it smells so good to me I want to take you by my side every day." "What little beauty, my name is Kong Zhao." Kong Zhao corrected him. "Oh? Kong Zhao... Yo Yo Lu Ming, the Artemisia of Shi Ye. I have a guest, Kong Zhao, the German voice." Yan Yunsun shook his head and said, "Well, Kong Zhao is a really good name, and it is worthy of you, little beauty. " "It's good for my sister to take it for me." Kong Zhao raised his chin and said. "It turned out to be Chen Xue who picked it up, no wonder it sounds so good." Yan Yunsun automatically called out his name without anyone saying anything, and looked at Feng Chenxue with a smile, "Well, the name 'Chen Xue' is also good, the beauty is like snow, Yurun Bingqing, good, good, good!" Feng Chenxue raised her eyes slightly, and her eyes fell on him, "Why do people like you enter a cage?" "It's all because of you, princess." Yan Yunsun still had a frivolous smile on his face. Feng Chenxue didn't even raise her eyebrows when she heard the words, but Kong Zhao who was at the side asked curiously: "What are you doing with my sister? By the way, Ninth Young Master, why did you become such a big official all of a sudden?" "Ah..." Yan Yunsun sighed, resting his chin on his hand, his eyes full of thought, "Princess, you don't know that since I saw you, I have been haunted in my dreams, thinking why this beauty married to that unlucky Qiu Yiting. What about the brat Xie Fengqing, so I thought, if I become an official, maybe His Majesty will betroth me with a princess who is as beautiful as a fairy, so I will become an official." "Hehe..." Kong Zhao couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing when he looked at him like that, "Ninth Young Master, you are still not serious when you talk like this." Yan Yunsun's eyelids drooped slightly, as if to hide a certain look in his eyes, and then he smiled frivolously, "Kong Zhao, this is not called 'unserious', it is called 'passionate seeds', I was born with a lot of love, so I can see If you love a beautiful woman, you will feel pity and love, and then worry about it, this is also a helpless thing, nothing can be done." "Then you became a high official, did you marry a princess?" Kong Zhao asked again. "I got married."Yan Yunsun immediately beamed with joy, "Not only did I marry a beautiful princess, but the princess also brought innumerable dowry when she married. Everyone is very respectful to me, stepping out is full of prestige, alas, if I had known that being a son-in-law has so many benefits, I would have done it a long time ago, maybe your princess will be married to me Arrived." Kong Zhaodun squinted his eyes, "How can my princess fall in love with a frivolous and pompous person like you?" When Yan Yunsun heard it, he waved his folding fan, put on a graceful appearance, and said: "I am tall, handsome, talented, and my character is rare in the world. How can your princess look down on me!" "What are you looking at?" An eager question came from outside the courtyard door, and then Chunyu brothers and sisters walked in quickly holding the wine jar. Yan Yunsun sized up Chunyu Shenyi, then nodded slightly, "Although he is not very handsome, he is quite charming and bright, um, yes, yes, I like it too." Being swept away by Yan Yunsun's gaze, Chunyu Shenyi felt goosebumps all over his body, immediately forgot his identity, waved his fist, and shouted viciously: "What are you looking at, I gouged out your dog's eyes!" Kong Zhao suddenly giggled. Yan Xin sighed, "My lord, won't you pretend to be the end of it if you put on a facade?" "Alas!" Yan Yunsun also sighed, "The so-called beauty is not charming, but you are self-confident. My son, I saw a beautiful woman, so I don't remember her appearance." "You are really... just an idiot!" Chunyu thoughtfully threw the wine jar on the table. When they were playing, Qiu Yiyao and Feng Chenxue just drank tea quietly, and the two looked at each other from time to time, with a heart-to-heart connection. After buying the food and wine, I went to the house to move some chairs, sat down around the stone table regardless of master and servant, drinking and laughing, and had a very happy night. At Haishi, the wine is gone. In the dead of night. In the dark room, Yan Yunsun, who was lying with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the top of the bed for a while, then got up, opened the window and saw that the silver light outside the house was like water, and the evening breeze was cool, and he walked out of the room in his clothes. He opened the door, sat down on the steps in front of the house, and looked up at the crescent moon in the night sky. After watching it for a long time, I laughed silently and laughed at myself deeply. Suddenly I feel like a fool. He was obviously at ease, but he wanted to take a look forcibly, so he felt melancholy. Obviously there are all kinds of pleasant days, but because of that little weird thought, there is this kind of bondage. When you see the bright moon, you may not be able to hold the moon in your arms. He became a son-in-law, but he was never the one he wanted. Isn't this an obsession and a stupid thing that only a fool would do. Up to now, she is at ease, and he is in a cage. I don't know if it is God's tricks, so there is such a ridiculous cause and effect. He buried his head in his arms, and smiled softly. He once scolded Qiu Yiting in the sleepless night for being the stupidest person in the world, but why is he not. She was right in front of him, but he could no longer reach out. Hahaha…… I really want to laugh, but in the end I just stay silent in this dark night. If he missed it, it was too late, so he could only keep going. Night, deep and silent. "Boom boom boom... boom boom boom... boom boom boom..." Suddenly, the sound of beating drums resounded through the night sky, shattering the dreams of everyone in Dan City. Yan Yun and Sun Meng raised their heads and stood up.Is it Shanyou's night attack? ! He hurriedly walked to the courtyard where Qiu Yiyao lived, pushed open the courtyard door, and saw that the lights were on, and the window paper reflected Qiu Yiyao's dressed figure, beside Yan Xu was serving him. "Unexpectedly, Shan You chose to attack the city at this moment." Yan Yunsun pushed the door open and entered. Qiu Yiyao wore armor, put on a helmet, and took the sword, "I'm going, you stay here." "I can't even hold a knife, so of course I can only stay here." Yan Yunsun smiled, "Be careful, I don't want to be hunted down by that kid Yiting in the future." "Don't worry." Qiu Yi stepped out of the room, then turned her head and smiled, "I don't want to die right now." Under the moonlight, that face is still as pale as snow, but those eyes are like ancient jade, which has not concealed its warmth and brilliance even after thousands of years of dust and calamity. Yan Yunsun looked at his leaving back and smiled lightly, seeming to be both happy and worried.Stepping back to his own yard, he soon saw Deputy Sun Du rushing over, his clothes and hats in disarray, as soon as he saw him, he shouted: "Yanzhou Mansion, something is wrong, the bandits even took advantage of us sleeping It's time to attack the city!" Yan Yunsun couldn't help laughing, but then he turned his expression back, and said very worriedly: "Deputy Sun, the state government is only a scholar, and can't really lift a sword, so how about asking the deputy to protect the state capital here?" Deputy Sun Du was overjoyed when he heard the words, he could not only escape the danger of hand-to-hand combat with the mountain dwarves, but also get close to the adults of the state capital, so he could kill two birds with one stone. "Please rest assured that the Yanzhou government will protect you in the end, so that the bandits will not dare to take a step closer." "It's so annoying." Yanzhou Mansion nodded and smiled. Qiu Yi walked out of the government office, and heard the sound of drums coming from all around, but she was not in a hurry, he had already allocated the east, west, north, south, four sides during the day, and now each of them kept his position.He stood on the street, listened attentively for a while, then turned back to the government office, took the pen and paper, and stamped it with the captain's seal, sealed it, and called Yan Xu, saying: "Go to the north gate to pay the bill." To Li Qianhu." "Yes." Yan Xu took the order and left. That night, Shanyou aggressively attacked the city from the east, west and south. Shanyou soldiers in black armor carried ladders and long shields, and rushed up the tower one after another. Looking down, there were countless soldiers coming densely like ants and insects. Under the dim light of the fire, it seemed like The black clouds overwhelmed the city, endlessly, and surging like a vast ocean. On the tower of Dancheng, the soldiers of the imperial dynasty are in full swing, ready to fight. When the two sides met at close quarters, the sword pierced through the air in an instant, and the fight shook the sky. Suddenly, blood rained down, and the corpses were lying on the ground. Shanyou’s catapults and archers threw boulders and rockets at Dancheng from all directions. When those boulders and rockets fell from the sky, not only the defenders of the tower were killed and injured, but also the people in the city were affected. Many houses caught fire and many people died. Innocent casualties under the stone... And the defenders on the tower opened the bed crossbow, and the iron arrows shot mercilessly at the Shanyou soldiers in the distance like a torrential rain, smashed the rolling logs and thunderstones on the climbing Shanyou soldiers, and splashed hot oil Then, the knife and gun in his hand stabbed fiercely at the enemy... This is a battle of offense and defense, and the battle is about the strength and courage of both sides, and has nothing to do with intelligence and strategy. That night, Shanyou attacked the city fiercely, and the dynasty resisted desperately. The two sides were evenly matched, and the battle was extremely tragic! Inside and outside the city, there are swords and swords everywhere, and mournful roars everywhere. Under the city tower, blood flowed like rivers, and corpses were like mountains. It is the characters that fill the sky, and the light of Jiaguang seizes the moon. In that battle, the two sides did not die until Dongfang uttered the truth. Under the dim light of the sky, looking around, one could see half-rolled banners, fat and blood congealed purple, broken swords, scattered armor, and the corpses of soldiers who died horribly. Autumn stands far away on the south gate tower, looking at the devastation below the tower, she can't help but sigh deeply, tired and sad, but there is nothing she can do.When he raised his head, a burst of dizziness hit him, and he couldn't help but swayed, and suddenly a pair of hands stretched out behind him, supporting him. Looking sideways, what catches the eye is Feng Chenxue's icy and plain face, and her slender black eyebrows are slightly frowning at this moment. "I'm fine, just a little tired." He raised his hand to hold her hand, trying to reassure her. Feng Chenxue held his hand instead, on such a summer day, his hand was as cold as jade. "Go and rest for a while, at this moment Shan Youduan will not attack the city again, if there is an attack, I will guard for you." Qiu Yiyao smiled slightly, "Okay." The two left hand in hand, went down to the tower, and saw Yan Yunsun rushing over, followed by Deputy Sun Du, Yan Xin and several guards. Looking at the blood splattered on Qiu Yiyao's green armor, and seeing the unconcealable tiredness between his brows, Yan Yunsun's heart sank, and he immediately said: "Yiyao, go and rest, and leave the rest to me." Qiu Yiyao nodded, and wanted to answer, but her chest was very stuffy, and the hand holding Feng Chenxue couldn't help but tighten. Feng Chenxue's complexion changed slightly, and she glanced at Yan Yunsun for a moment, Yan Yunsun immediately understood, "Yan Xu, wait for Mr. Qiu to rest." "Yes." Yan Xu hurried forward, and Feng Chenxue supported Qiu Yiyao to leave. Chunyu Wenyuan and Chunyu brothers and sisters came to meet them. All night yesterday, the brothers and sisters followed their father around to appease the people and put out the fire. Seeing Qiu Yiyao, Governor Chunyu immediately cupped his fists and saluted, "You worked hard last night, Captain Qiu." Qiu Yiyao wanted to answer the salute, but she couldn't even lift her arms. The armor on her body seemed to weigh a thousand catties, making him unable to breathe, and her face was even paler. Chunyushen felt that his expression was wrong, so he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Are you injured?" Qiu Yiyao shook her head slightly with a smile, but her eyes were darkened, and her body fell back limply. "My lord!" Yan Xu immediately supported him. "Let's go!" Feng Chenxue said softly, without caring about greeting Chunyu brothers and sisters, she walked away quickly with Yan Xu supporting Qiu Yiyao. "This is..." Chunyu Wenyuan looked at their backs in puzzlement. Chunyu brothers and sisters recalled Dr. Zhao's words that day, and their hearts suddenly became heavy. "Yanzhou Mansion." Chunyu Wenyuan hurried forward to greet Yan Yunsun. Yan Yunsun waved his hand. "Chunyu Fu Yin, after the battle last night, the soldiers and common people in the city suffered heavy casualties. It is up to the Fu Yin to settle down and deal with the aftermath." "Don't dare, this is the job of an official." Chunyu Wenyuan bowed hurriedly. Yan Yunsun glanced around, there were many corpses of soldiers lying around the city tower, and there were dark red bloodstains everywhere on the walls, steps, railings, and bluestone boards. It was the first time he saw such a tragic scene, and his heart trembled. Grieving, he tightly clenched his hands in his sleeves, closed his eyes slightly, and called out, "Deputy Sun Du." There was no response for a long time behind him, and he couldn't help turning his head, only to see Sun Du with a demented look on his face. "Deputy Sun Du." Yan Xin pushed him aside. Sun Du returned to his senses, looked at Yan Yunsun, but asked, "Who was that woman just now? She is truly stunning!" As soon as this remark came out, all the people present frowned. "Deputy Sun Du." Yan Yunsun closed his eyes to hide the disgust in his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes were clear, his expression was solemn, and his voice was loud but cold, "The bones of the dead soldiers will be collected by Deputy Sun Du. Even the bones of Shanyou soldiers should not be ruined." Deputy Sun Du was intimidated by Yan Yunsun's expression, his heart was suffocated, and he hurriedly replied: "Yes, the general will follow orders." Yan Yunsun turned around, "I don't know when Shanyou will attack again, I don't have time to dawdle, you all go." So several people retreated and went to work separately. Yan Yunsun stepped on the blood-soaked steps and walked up the tower step by step. Along the way, many dead soldiers fell down, some from the imperial dynasty, some from the mountains, some with eyes open, some with eyes closed, and some with pierced Arrows, some with knives stuck in their bodies, some with intact bones, and some with severed limbs and lost their heads... Every time he climbed a step, Yan Yunsun felt something pressing down on his heart, which made his heart feel heavy and heavy. Chest pain like suffocation, when standing on the tower, looking around, there are corpses lying everywhere in the distance, nearby, knives, guns and arrows scattered on the ground, the gray city wall has been stained dark red with blood, suddenly filled with sorrow, Painful and speechless. After a long time, he raised his head and squinted his eyes. The sun had risen slowly, and the blushing glow was falling, but it only reflected devastation, and the Shanyou camp on the opposite side was also silent. "This is the battlefield." He raised his hand to smear the blood on the city wall, looked at the dark red on his fingertips, then slowly closed his fingers together and clasped them tightly. "'Dynasty is built on corpses and blood' is indeed true." "My lord, let's go back." Yan Xin's rare tone was very gentle. Behind Yan Yunsun's hands behind his back, "Yan Xin, what do you feel when you see this?" Hearing this, Yan Xin lowered her head, and after a while said in a strong nasal voice: "The chest is heavy and hurts, I want to cry." "Okay." Yan Yunsun nodded, and looked into the distance, "Remember how you feel at this moment, don't let these dead people down, don't let this green heart be betrayed, and don't..." He paused slightly, and then uttered heavily, "Don't have More of that." "My son..." "Let's go." Yan Yunsun turned and left. On that day, the day was bright, and the people who had kept the doors closed all the time finally opened the doors quietly. When they went out to take a look, they found that the city was no longer the city of yesterday. There was much wailing and mourning in the city. On that day, the city of Dan was enveloped in a heavy state, and what comforted the people a little was the appearance of the Lord of the State Capital.At such a dangerous moment, the Yanzhou government came from the state city, and personally sat in the border town, sharing the joys and sorrows with them and defending against the enemy with one heart.Looking at the handsome figure walking slowly on the long street, and listening to his eloquent words, men are at ease and women are happy, so the people feel at ease, and the sadness and fear fade away a lot. On that day, Qiu Yiyao fell into a coma, her limbs were stiff and cold, and she twisted and trembled from time to time due to the pain of cold syndrome, her body was sweating constantly, and she even coughed non-stop. His illness was diagnosed by the famous doctor Yan Yunsun found in the state city, and he left a prescription and told him to take it every day, so as soon as he returned to the capital's mansion, Yan Xu went to decoct the medicine, and the wind Chen Xue stood aside, holding his hand all the time, using her internal strength to help him drive away the cold, and when the Yan Xu medicine was cooked, she fed him to drink it herself. It was not until dusk that Qiu Yiyao woke up, looking tired , but fortunately, he no longer coughed so badly, which relieved the two guarding by the bed. Yan Yunsun spent the whole day comforting the people in the city, and did not return until Haishi, and first went to visit Qiu Yiyao.After Qiu Yiyao drank the medicine, she fell asleep to Feng Chenxue's gentle and soothing piano sound.Seeing him sleeping peacefully, Yan Yunsun breathed a sigh of relief. After leaving the inner room, he saw Feng Chenxue sitting in the hall, obviously waiting for him. Yan Yunsun sat down opposite her, feeling a little guilty and heavy, "With his body, he should be resting in peace, but I'm tired of him." 风辰雪闻言，摇摇头，淡淡道:“这是他自己的选择，与他人无关。” 燕云孙听得这话不由微怔，看着眼前神色静然的女子，不由问道:“你……难道不担心，不想他活得更久一点？” 风辰雪移眸看他。 燕云孙亦看着她。那双眼眸清透无垢，一眼便可望到底，可他看了半晌，却未曾看懂。 “我当然想他活得更久，但是苟延残息，莫若含笑阖目。” 燕云孙一震。 “他在这里做了他想做的应该做的事，又有我陪他，那无论是活一日还是活一月，他都是欢喜的。”风辰雪面容沉静，可细听之下，依可听出她声音里带着的淡淡哀思，只是哀而不伤。“他欢喜了我自然欢喜，而人一生悲苦忧乐交杂，能得一刻的圆满的别无所求的欢喜，那便足矣。” 燕云孙怔怔的看着他，蓦然间，他明白何以他们会彼此喜欢，何以她与秋意亭相遇对着那样意气风发的皇朝第一将依旧没有动心。心头忽然酸涩而艳羡，于是，他忍不住道:“他日，你们与意亭相逢之时，当何以自处？”意遥面对兄长，会无愧疚？你面对夫婿，会无心虚？ 风辰雪眉尖微动，似有些讶异燕云孙会有此一问，清眸看着他，似乎一眼便把他看透，然后她淡然一笑，自有一种大度洒脱，“便是相逢又如何？无论是宸华还是辰雪，我不曾欠他，他亦不曾欠我，本无相干的两人。我与意遥之情意，发乎于心，动意于灵，是自然而然来，非偷非抢，非求非盗，又与他人何干。” 燕云孙呆呆看着她，那一刹那，他几欲叫道:我亦如此，何以我不能。 可风辰雪没有再看他，自袖中取出一张纸，道:“意遥这几日定是不能下床的，他的病也不能让城中百姓与将士知晓。明日等他醒来，便搬去我那儿静养。” 燕云孙恍恍然点头，“我没空照顾他，又只一个燕叙，他去你那儿，自然是更好。” “至于山尤。”风辰雪将纸递给他，“这几日你便按此行事，若是有变故，你再来寻他。” 燕云孙接过，那字迹陌生着，并非秋意遥的笔迹，他抬眸看一眼风辰雪，然后醒悟，这定是她所写的。只是这是她的意思还是秋意遥的意思？虽是如此想，但却没有问出口，只是收起。 "it is good." “你也早些去歇息吧，毕竟往后这些日子便是你劳心劳力了。”风辰雪起身离去，“出门之时，最好带着燕辛，他武艺不错，你作为州府，别出了事。” 燕云孙听得心中一暖，转头去看，只看得一道掩入帘后的背影。 眼见风辰雪的身影消失，一直在旁的燕辛忽然道:“公子，公主比之你当年更是洒脱。” 燕云孙闻言不由向他看去。 “公子当年，虽洒脱不羁，亦只是形的潇洒，而公主是灵的潇洒，真正地做到身随心动心随意动，往来天地间，自由自在。”燕辛的语气里带着赞赏与羡慕。 燕云孙微怔，然后一笑，亦起身离开。 在回途中，燕云孙问燕辛，“此刻丹城虽险，却也是男儿建功之时，你一身武艺，人也不笨，可要投入军中？他日许也是一名将军，受万民敬仰。” 燕辛却摇头。 “为何？”燕云孙问他。 “当了官固然是尊荣，可我看，那孙都副不如我活得自在，淳于府尹不如我活得轻松。”燕辛答道:“跟着公子，衣食无忧，又不用操心家事国事，也不用逢迎拍马。况且，我虽是个仆人，可这世上又有几人能对敬熙伯府的九公子、月州的州府大人每日里冷嘲热讽还活得十分快活的。” 燕云孙失笑，“你倒是想得挺透彻的。” 燕辛嘿嘿一笑。 两人回到住处，稍作梳洗，然后上床歇息，一夜便过去。
