Chapter 19 Chapter 19

Facing the army of the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people borrowed troops from the Huns. At a critical moment, the two most powerful nomadic peoples united to resist the attack of the farming peoples. A Qiang leader was killed.The iron hooves of the Han Dynasty army took advantage of the situation and swept away the entire Qiang nationality, making the most rebellious Xiqiang surrender to the Han Dynasty, and other Qiang tribes also surrendered to the Han Dynasty.The rebel king of Wusun supported by the Huns was killed, and Princess Jieyou's eldest son Yuan Guimi was established as the great king of Wusun. After many twists and turns, Princess Jieyou finally ascended the throne of Queen Mother of Wusun.Her daughter married to Kucha and became the queen. Under the mediation of Princess Jieyou, Kucha also submitted to the Han Dynasty.

The power of Princess Jieyou means that the century-old struggle between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu in the Western Regions began with Gaozu, and went through the five emperors Hui, Wen, Jing, Wu, and Zhao until Emperor Xuan. The Han Dynasty finally won a big victory. The portal passages of the Han Dynasty are all under the control of the Han Dynasty. Jianzhang Palace is holding a feast to celebrate the victory of the great man, but Huo Guang, the greatest hero in this battle, was not present.He sat alone by the rockery stream at home, pouring himself a drink, and there was no joy in his eyes, but loneliness and sorrow.

Already eight or nine times drunk, he raised his glass to the bright moon and shouted: "Taiping has been ordered by the general, and the beauty does not need to suffer from the frontier!" While walking in disorder, he caught a glimpse of a white-haired man with a tired expression under the cold pond of Pine Shadow.Huo Guang was drunk, pointed at the other party and asked: "Where is the madman, dare to break into the general's mansion?" Unexpectedly, the other party also pointed at him and raised his eyebrows angrily.He was stunned for a moment before he realized that the old man in the cold pond was himself, and his heart was filled with grief. The wine glass in his hand fell into the pond, and with a "gudong", the water mirror shattered.Amidst the ripples, the shattered old man turned into countless images, whizzing towards his face from under the water:

The one in black armor and red battle robe is Li Ling, with anger in his brows and thunder in his sword, and he is charging towards him on horseback. The one in the bearded outfit with the machete on his waist was Weng Guimi, and under the hearty laughter was the impeccable shrewdness. Jieyou was dressed in palace attire, and she walked slowly with a long sword in her hand, with determination and contempt in her eyes. With a face like magnolia and temples like green clouds, it was Feng Shi who came smiling, but it changed in an instant, her eyes were sharp and angry, she held Jieyou's hand, and wept.

Shangguan Jie was pointing at his son Shangguan An and laughing with him, he also nodded with a smile, outside the room were a few maids pushing Lian'er, shouting with a smile: "Miss, go and have a look! If it's not good, you can talk to the master Say." Lian'er blushed with embarrassment, broke away from the maid's hand and ran away.But in the blink of an eye, Shangguan Jie overturned several cases and rushed towards him with a roar. Luliu Yiyi, Huang Ying screaming, daughter Lianer is only five years old, swinging in the garden, giggling, "Daddy, Daddy, hug! Hug!" He just wanted to reach out, but her neck was covered in blood , staring at him with wide eyes, "Father, you promised your daughter..."

... In front of Huo Guang's eyes, light and shadow intertwined, sometimes the sky was full of yellow sand, sometimes shaded by willows and emerald embankments, sometimes laughter, sometimes blood splattered, and the images flowed by one after another, making him breathless. Xuanshi Hall appeared in front of him. The hall was dark and deep. Although it was depressingly quiet, he finally took a breath and saw a person sleeping on the dragon couch. He walked forward. Suddenly, the white-haired Liu Che walked out of the dragon couch Turned up and sat up, and asked: "Do you remember the oath you swore to the sky in front of me? If you have a different heart, your children, grandchildren, and grandchildren will wipe it out." Liu Che rushed towards him, grabbing heavily with his two withered hands. his neck.

Huo Guang screamed "Ah", fell backwards, fell heavily on the ground, and lost consciousness. Huo Guang had a sudden stroke while drinking in the back garden of his home. Since then, Huo Guang has been lingering in the sick bed, and his health has deteriorated, but the honor of the Huo family has not been affected in the slightest. Hou. Although there were Zhang, Gongsun, and later newly elected Rong and Wei in the harem, Liu Xun favored Huo Chengjun exclusively, and the husband and wife had a deep affection.Because of the love of the empress, the harem was very quiet, and no one dared or could compete with Empress Huo for favor. The honor of the Huo clan reached its peak.

A year later, Huo Guang died of illness in Chang'an in worry and helplessness.As a generation of power ministers, Huo Guang has never really lost to anyone in his life, but he was no match for time. When the news of Huo Guang's death came out, he had been living in seclusion in the suburbs of Chang'an, and Yun Ge, who followed Mr. Zhang to study medicine with great concentration, went to bid farewell to Mr. Zhang.Mr. Zhang knew that their fate was over, so he didn't keep Yun Ge, he only told her to take care of her, but he was quite worried about her body.In recent years, Yunge's chronic lung disease has become more and more serious, and when he coughs hard, he often bleeds, and there are more and more tendencies.Yun Ge's medical skills are already not inferior to his. Her own prescriptions are useless, and Mr. Zhang is even more helpless. He can only sigh in his heart that "heart disease is difficult to heal" and "he who can heal himself cannot heal himself".

The neighbors who have been favored by Yun Ge heard that she was leaving, and they all came to see her off, including the old and the young. Yun Ge said goodbye to them one by one, and when everyone left reluctantly, it was already late at night, and Yun Ge packed her bags. Finally, hand it over to Yu An, and rush to Pingling before sunrise. The plain is vast and full of stars, and the tombs stand silently. The fireflies flicker on and off, reflecting the tombstones with a layer of green light. Yun Ge stepped on the first step, and there was no guard around to stop her, so she didn't find it strange.In her heart, she wanted to see him, so it was only natural for her to come.

A woman in palace attire rested her chin on the jade railing, staring at the end of the night, heard Yun Ge's footsteps, and said without turning her head: "Tonight's dew is heavy, and there may be heavy fog before dawn." Yun Ge stopped, and after seeing clearly the person hiding in the dark, she walked to her side and looked into the distance. Shangguan's younger sister said: "I like waiting for the sunrise here the most. It doesn't take long, but the scenery will change a few times. Sometimes I am curious, when will you come here? I always think that the emperor should like to watch the sunrise with you." out."

Yun Ge looked at the end of the night silently, with lingering sadness in her eyes, and the younger sister's eyes were also like hers, condensed with deep sadness, she said softly: "I always thought that the day when the Huo family was destroyed, it would be My happiest day, but when I heard the news of my grandfather's death yesterday morning, I cried, maybe because I knew that I would be the only one left in this world soon, and all the people in my father's family had died Yes, in the near future, people from the mother's family will also leave." Yun Ge looked sideways at the little girl, and the little girl turned to Yun Ge, trying to laugh, but couldn't, "I hated Huo Guang for so long, and he finally died, but now I'm only sad, not happy at all. .” In the night wind, the little girl's body seemed to be trembling, and Yun Ge's body was also trembling slightly. She held the little girl's hand. Both hands were cold, and neither could give the other warmth, but at least there was less A single copy. After a while, as the little girl said, in the hazy morning light, a large cloud of white mist rose up, and soon filled the entire wilderness.Amidst the white mist, mausoleums, stone walls, accompanying tombs, and unknown villages are looming, and the majestic scenery reveals tranquility and solemnity. "This mausoleum originally buried Gaozu, Emperor Hui, Emperor Jing, and Emperor Wu. Now there are still the elder brothers of the emperor. There are five emperors. There are more heroes in the past. General Wei Qing, General Huo Qubing, and Prince Jin Ridun of the Huns , the overwhelmed Mrs. Li... This place used to be the battlefield of the Qin Dynasty, and it is said that the mysterious Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is also nearby. The years have passed for thousands of years, with the change of dynasties and turbulent winds, this mausoleum has always been like this. I often Think, what will Weiyang Palace look like in a hundred years or a thousand years? Probably overgrown with weeds! At that time, no one will really know us, just like we don’t know them. We only know that this one is a good emperor and that one is a tyrant. I am afraid that there will be a pitiful and useless empress, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, who wrote my whole life in a few strokes, and the elder brother of the emperor is an emperor who is no different from other emperors who died young. Benevolence. The world knows Liu Xun, and historians are definitely more willing to spend pen and ink to record his legendary experience, his great talent and his old sword. But, does it matter? Even if everyone in the world Forget him, you and I will remember him, as long as we can live, he can live as long as possible. Even, I promise you, when Liu Xun suddenly wakes up in a dream, he will think of him, the more Liu Xun runs To forget, the more you can't forget." When Yun Ge heard Liu Xun's name, she wanted to confide everything that was pressing on her heart several times. Perhaps in this world, only a little girl could understand all her feelings, but in the end, she still chose to remain silent, just like Brother Ling. choose.Hatred can't bring the dead back to life, it can only sink the living. The little girl has enough shackles, and there is no need for another heavy and struggling. She hopes that the little girl can gradually forget everything, and one day she is willing to use the shackles left by Brother Ling. Her will to leave here. The little girl picked up a wooden box from the ground and handed it to Yun Ge, "When Master Liuli finished cooking this, he had already left, so Master Liuli presented this to me, but I think this room should be the one he wants to create for you. Cover, every time I come here, I will bring it, and I have been thinking about when it is suitable for you, you will be Miss Huo for a while, and Mrs. Meng for a while, I thought you no longer need it. " Yun Ge took the box and opened it, and inside was a house made of colored glaze.The main room, study room, bedroom, small porch windows, and pearl curtains are all complete, and there is even a small lotus pond at the back of the house, with green bamboos under the windows.According to different scenes, the glass master chooses different colors of glass, and according to the angle of the room, creates changes in light through the depth of the color of the glass.The roof of the bedroom is made of a small piece of crystal. Looking in from the roof, there are two small clay figurines lying side by side, looking out at the sky. Compared with the exquisite glazed house, the two clay figurines appear to be fabricated in a rough way, but the expressions of the figures are very vivid. Obviously, the creators are very familiar with them. The little girl said softly: "Master Liuli said that the emperor entrusted this pair of villains to him, not by them." Yun Ge stared at the room obsessively. Big ones rolled down. Tears fell on the glass house, like rain, along the layers of vivid green tiles, dripping down on the steps of the yard, and the two people inside seemed to be enjoying the rain scene outside the crystal roof. The sun rose and the fog began to lighten.As if in an instant, there was a gust of wind, the fog suddenly disappeared, and the eyes suddenly brightened, everything became clear.The blue sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, countless unknown birds are chirping and making noise, and there are countless colorful butterflies dancing gracefully, sometimes stopping on this flower and sometimes stopping on that flower. The glazed cottage in Cloud Singer exudes breathtaking seven-color light in the sun, like a beautiful dream in the world, under the radiance, it is crystal clear and delicate. The little girl who had been looking at the sun sighed with satisfaction, turned her back, leaned on the railing, and looked at Yun Ge with a smile, "Are you here to say goodbye to him? Have you decided where to go?" Yun Ge held the glazed hut in both hands, looked up at the rising sun, there were still tears on her eyelashes, but there was a smile on her lips.She put the glazed hut back into the wooden box, put it away carefully, leaned against the railing, pointed at the little girl, and pointed to her heart, "I'll go with him. He's always wanted to see the things outside Chang'an City." The world, so I intend to do whatever I want, and do as I please." The little girl tilted her head and asked with a smile: "You won't come back again, right?" Yun Ge nodded vigorously. There were some crystal lights in the little girl's eyes, and she quickly turned her head away. Yun Ge stood quietly for a while, then suddenly said, "Little sister, I have a heartless request, although Huo Guang has..." "I know, you want to talk about Liu Xi. Xu Pingjun has already begged me, and I promised her that she would take care of Liu Xi for her. Now Huo Chengjun is nothing to worry about. In one day, no one in the harem can hurt him. " "Thank you!" Yun Ge bowed to her, picked up the wooden box on the ground, and floated down the steps. The little girl didn't look back, she just said loudly, "Treasure!" "The same to you!" Thousands of miles of blue, thousands of feet of forest, and a river of luxuriant grass.Under the bright morning sun, the green dress walks through the grass, forest and wild flowers, and the skirts of the clothes fly in the air. There is light and shadow, light and darkness, there is unstoppable sadness, but there is also undefeated strength.In the slanting morning light, her figure gradually disappeared into the vast wilderness. Pairs of swallows in the sky are chasing each other, dancing lightly and playing slowly. The little girl stares at them and murmurs: "Brother, you must be very happy, and I am also very happy!" Two lines of crystal clear teardrops run silently along the cheeks. fall. Meng Jue was arranging things in the house, when San Yue suddenly broke into the study, and said with a strange expression, "Fu...fu... Yun... Yun Ge is back and is packing things in the Zhuxuan." Meng Jue said blankly, "Got it." Sanyue was stunned for a moment, then retreated quietly.After Xu Pingjun's death, Yun Ge never set foot in Chang'an City. Although Young Master knew that she was learning medical skills from Mr. Zhang, he had never met her, and there seemed to be no relationship between the two of them.No matter how much San Yue thought about it, she couldn't figure out why Yun Ge came running back suddenly. Meng Jue sat quietly for a while, picked up a volume of medical books written by his adoptive father, turned to the back, followed the ink of his adoptive father, picked up a pen in the blank space, and wrote down his hard thinking over the past few years: "The lung collaterals are damaged, the lungs are not clear, so coughing. The five emotions are sad, the liver qi is stagnant, the fire rises and inverts the lung collaterals, and the blood spills outside the veins, which is coughing up blood. Externally clearing the liver and purging the lungs, harmonizing the collaterals to stop bleeding, internally Emotional relief, peace of mind, combination of internal and external, and synergy of all dharmas will have a satisfactory effect. Remember! Remember! Emotions are relieved, and the mind is peaceful!" "Prescription: mulberry leaves, peony bark, Zhimu, loquat leaves, skullcap, cicada slough..." Actually, Yun Ge didn't have many things to pack, mainly some of Liu Fuling's belongings that Yu An brought out of the palace, as well as a few sets of her own clothes, and a few books. When Meng Jue went, she saw Yun Ge was wiping the jade flute with a silk handkerchief, and when she heard his footsteps, she looked up at him, then lowered her head to continue wiping, "This jade flute was originally pure purple, I don't know Could it be that it has not been placed properly, and it is showing a mottled red color?" Yun Ge's tone of voice was indifferent and gentle, like ordinary friends making casual conversations, as if they just met yesterday, rather than they haven't seen each other for more than a year. Meng Jue put the book he had brought on the case, sat aside casually, and said with a smile, "Just let it go. After a long time, maybe it will disappear naturally." Yun Ge had been wiping it for a long time, knowing that it would not be wiped off, she had no choice but to give up, carefully put Yuxiao into the box, and got up to organize the books. "Can you give me these acupuncture and medical books?" "Those are the books of the foster father. If you are willing to read them, he will definitely be willing. The few medical books I just brought were also written by the foster father. I have read them all. It is not very useful to keep them. You can read them." Bar!" Yun Ge didn't say anything, just took the book over.After putting away the books, she looked around the room and felt that nothing was missing, and said to Meng Jue, "I'm leaving." Meng Jue stood up, smiled and said, "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride." Yun Ge smiled lightly, "I haven't made up my mind yet, I plan to sit on the boat and watch as I walk, maybe go to see my parents first, A Zhu said that my mother has written several letters to the third brother, and has been talking about me for a long time. " "Then I'll take you to the ferry!" Yun Ge didn't refuse, Meng Jue helped her move the cage to the horse. Yun Ge rode on one horse and saluted on one horse, but Meng Jue also rode on one horse and saluted on one horse.Yun Ge showed no expression, and got on the horse directly. The two rode out of the city without saying a word. When they reached the Wei River ferry, Yu An came wearing a bamboo hat and rowing an oar. After the boat docked, he came to help Yun Ge carry the luggage. Yun Ge cupped her fists and bowed to Meng Jue, saying, "Just leave it alone, take care of yourself!" Meng Jue smiled and asked, "I'm going to go out too, can I take your boat?" Yun Ge shook his head. Meng Jue smiled again and said, "It seems that I have to buy another boat and go along the river. If it happens to be on the way, I can't help it." Then, he waved to the boatman in the distance to let them come. Yun Ge lowered his head, stood silently for a while, then raised his head suddenly, and called softly, "The King of Jade!" Meng Jue's breathing stopped suddenly, and he didn't even dare to exhale for a while, lest he would be too big and startle the long-lost call, and only dared to turn around when he regained his composure.The green dress in front of me is similar, the face is the same, and the black eyes are also similar, but in fact they have been soaked in wind and frost, and contain sadness, like the lake water in late autumn. At first glance, it looks the same as the lake water in spring. Under the clear and clear weather, it is not the warmth of March and the vitality of all things, but the coldness of October and the desolation of the world. "In this lifetime, I will never forget Brother Ling." Meng Jue wanted to speak, but she smiled lightly, with her index finger on her lips, signaling him not to speak.That smile is like the wind blowing still water, with a few wisps of ridges passing by in a flash, it is just an appearance for the world to see, and the depths of the lake have long been turbulent. "It's impossible for me to hide him deep in my heart, and I don't want to lock him deep in my heart. I know I miss him very much, so I want to think about him openly. He likes to read strange tales. Go all over the world, write down the nice and strange stories and legends from all over the place, and tell him later; I will also search for dishes, maybe ten or twenty years later, you can see the recipes I wrote in the capital ;When I was studying medicine, I swore to my master that I would not disappoint my master's medical skills, so I will use my medical skills to do what I can. Don't you want me to forget those bad things and start over? Now I really made up my mind to forget, I want to forget all the people and things, and only remember the things between me and brother Ling. If you really want me to start over, let me be free and let me go! If you follow Me, I will always inadvertently think of you and Huo Chengjun pouring me medicine, thinking of the incense chips you made..." Yun Ge took a deep breath, unable to continue, she looked at the distant white clouds, and after a while, said softly Said: "Thousands of mountains and rivers, I will definitely find my peace." After Yun Ge finished speaking, she ran and jumped onto the boat in a small step. The wind by the river made her black hair fly and her dress rustled. Meng Jue's face was as pale as a stone sculpture, standing blankly. He had been looking forward to her letting go, and she was finally ready to forget the past and start over, but he never thought that her forgetting started from him. She is the warmth in his heart and the taste on the tip of his tongue. He thought that he would never have it again in this life, but he found it. He once thought that as long as he didn't let go, he would never lose it. However, it turned out that he could only look at her for a long time. Gradually fade out from his life. This time she left, she didn't say goodbye, because she would never see him again, she just wanted to spend the rest of her life quietly with Liu Fuling. Yun Ge waved to him without hesitation, turned to say something to An, and Yu An swung the boat out. The sky is vast and the river is vast.In the distance, there are several peaks and green hills, and the white clouds are long; nearby, the river is sparkling red, and the reeds are green; in the middle are green waves and white cranes.Yun Ge was wearing a green dress, standing on the bow of the black boat, and sailing towards the depths of the sea of ​​clouds together with the flying cranes. The boat got smaller and smaller, and the figure became fainter. A gust of wind blew up, and the little green shadow disappeared into the blue sky, only countless cranes were flying among the blue sky and white clouds. His whole body was cold, and he only felt that the sky and the earth were desolate, and when he looked over, there was nothing but desolate loneliness, so he ran into the river suddenly, stumbling after him. "Cloud—song—" The mournful cries between heaven and earth were soon swallowed up by the vast mist, and only the rolling river flowed endlessly in the sky, watching indifferently the separation and reunion of the world.
