Chapter 6 Chapter Six Lovesickness

The war between Xuanyuan and Gaoxin has lasted for ten years. During the ten years, both sides won and lost. Xuanyuan had a slight advantage and encroached on Gaoxin's land at a very slow speed. After a long time in Gaoxin, many Xuanyuan soldiers learned to speak Gaoxin dialect.Zhuanxu issued a strict order not to disturb the people.Otherwise, there will be no mercy, and the soldiers are always very kind to the people of Gaoxin.Every year during the flood season.Soldiers helped the people maintain the dams and divert the river.During slack.Soldiers often walked into every village with musical instruments and masks, and performed Fang Xiangxi for the people without giving money.

As long as there is no war, the people of Gaoxin really can't hate Xuanyuan soldiers. At the end of summer, Xuanyuan attacked Bailing City, an important city in Gaoxin, and the battle lasted for four days and four nights.Hong Leong was defeated by harvest. After Zhuanxu got the news, what he worried about was not the gains and losses of a city and a pool, but Fenglong.Feng Leong was young and energetic, born noble, talented, and was admired by everyone to grow up, brave enough, lacking in tenacity, but his harvest was tempered by his master, and he was polished to be cunning and cunning. He was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that Feng Leong would have something in his heart because of defeat. Shadows affect morale.Everything is easy to say, but the morale is difficult to condense. Once the morale dissipates, failure will be revealed.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhuanxu decided to go to the army himself, even if he didn't do anything, he just drank two jars of wine with Fenglong and scolded Lishou together.With Fenglong's cleverness, he slowly recovered. When Zhuanxu went to Xiaoyueding to see the Yellow Emperor, Xiaoyao and Jing happened to be there. Zhuanxu said to Xiaoyao, "I want to leave for a while." "Where are you going?" "It's said to go to Xuanyuan Mountain, but actually it's a trip to the army. It takes about a month to go back and forth." Xiaoyao realized that this army refers to Feng Leong's army, and asked awkwardly, "Is there any danger?"

"Danger is always everywhere. The most difficult days have come, what danger is more terrible now than then?" Xiao Yao nodded lightly: "Well, don't worry, I will take good care of grandpa." Zhuanxu said: "A few days ago you said that some medicinal herbs grow in Gaoxin, but unfortunately you didn't have the chance to see them. I'm afraid the records are not accurate enough. Do you want to go to Gaoxin with me so that you can see those medicinal herbs with your own eyes?" "I don't want to!" Xiao Yao answered very simply. Zhuanxu smiled slightly, and said to Jing: "There is one thing I want to discuss with you. The products of Xuanyuan and Gaoxin are completely different, because the relationship between the two countries is not close. Although there was a little mutual exchange in the past, it was only limited to the items that the nobles liked. It has not benefited ordinary people. Products are circulated all over the country, exchange what is needed, and mutual benefit. It is a good thing for the people in the whole Dahuang. Tu Shan’s business is all over the Dahuang. Please follow me to Gaoxin to see what products are suitable for importing into the Central Plains. If possible, I will trouble Tu Shan in the future. If an official does it, it will definitely not do well!"

Jing glanced at Xiaoyao, and said with a smile: "This is a great thing for all people in the world, and the Tu Shan family can also benefit from it. Jing is willing to go to Gaoxin with His Majesty." Zhuanxu looked at Xiaoyao: "Do you want to go together?" Xiaoyao was ashamed that she was being manipulated by Zhuanxu.He said bluntly, "No, no, no!" Zhuanxu smiled and said nothing more, called Xiaoxiao over, and told her to prepare things, and remember to count Xiaoyao. Xiaoyao went to talk to Huang Di, pretending she didn't hear anything. On the day of the trip, Zhuanxu sent Xiaoxiao to pick up Xiaoyao, and Xiaoyao made arrangements early.He and Miao Pu got on the cloud chariot neatly.

When he arrived in Gaoxin, Zhuanxu was not in a hurry to go to the army, but started hanging out with Jing and Xiaoyao. It was a private trip, and did not bring a team of guards, Zhuanxu ordered Xiaoxiao and the others to follow secretly. Zhuanxu, Jing, and Xiaoyao changed into Gaoxin's costumes. Zhuanxu and Xiaoyao spoke the Gaoxin dialect perfectly, and Jing also spoke decently. Walking on the street, all the peddlers thought they were Gaoxin people. Perhaps, when the city was first captured, there were traces of war, but after years of governance, Xiaoyao could not find a trace of war.On the street, people come and go, teahouses and restaurants are open, similar to what Xiaoyao saw before, the only difference is that it seems to be more lively, and many women with a Central Plains accent are asking prices in Gao Xin , Choose to buy something.

Xiao Yao was puzzled, Kan Kan asked Jing, "Why is this happening?" Jing laughed and said: "Xuanyuan's army is stationed in Gaoxin. Soldiers will inevitably miss their families. His Majesty specially allocated funds to encourage the families of soldiers to come here to settle down. As long as there is no war, soldiers can rotate home for three days every month. The children's soldiers can also receive more money. His Majesty's move not only reassures the soldiers, but also makes the soldiers more careful when guarding and patrolling, because they are not only guarding other people's cities, but also their homes."

Xiaoyao saw many wives carrying vegetable baskets and children on their backs, so she couldn't help asking, "Their children were born in Gaoxin?" "Yeah!" Jing thought, not only born here, but guessing what Zhuanxu meant, it is very likely that they will grow up in Gaoxin and take root from then on. Under the wall, a group of half-grown children squatted on the ground fighting grasshoppers, yelling from time to time, and couldn't tell which one was from Gaoxin and which was from Xuanyuan. Xiaoyao looked at them and murmured, "This is the same as my The imagined war is different."

Jing said: "His Majesty the Black Emperor is different from His Majesty the Yellow Emperor, and His Majesty Jundi does not support Chi You. The most important thing is that the current Xuanyuan Kingdom is different from the former Xuanyuan Kingdom." Zhuan Xu could hear the conversation between Xiaoyao and Jing clearly, but since Xiaoyao entered Gaoxin, he acted as if he didn't want to talk to him, so he kept silent, and now he didn't say a word, let it go Xiaoyao went to see and listen by herself. The sun is setting and it will be late. Zhuanxu said: "The city gate will be closed soon. I don't want to live in the city, I plan to rest in the village. If you don't object, we will leave the city."

Jing looked at Xiaoyao, and Xiaoyao said forcefully to Zhuanxu: "You are His Majesty, so naturally I will listen to you." They left the city gate and traveled southward in a bullock cart.When it gets dark, reach a village. There are big torches burning at the entrance of the village, and the crowds are crowded, which is very lively.Some people sat on the ground, some sat on rocks, some children climbed on trees, and some stood on boats. Xiaoyao said to the hidden guard who was driving: "Stop!" Let's go and have a look! " Because there were so many people, the dark guards could only park the bullock cart outside, and Xiaoyao stood on the cart, stretching her neck to look inside.It turns out that Fang Xiangxi is being played in it.Fang Xiangshi is an ancient god. It is said that he is very good at changing, and can have thousands of faces in a day.Pretend to be a woman like a woman, and a man like a man. After he died, he turned into a mask. People can change at will as long as they wear it.No one has ever seen a real square mask, but people have made all kinds of masks with skillful hands, put on different masks, act as different people, and sing and dance.Gradually, Fang Xiangxi was formed.

To put it bluntly, a mask is a sign. Wearing a mask is like having the magic power of changing like Fang Xiangshi. While being that person, you can interpret that person's story. Fang Xiangxi is popular in the folk, and it tells the legend of heroes and beauties that adults and children like.Tonight's Fangxiang drama has been performed for more than half, and it is estimated that it started with the legendary Pangu Emperor who split the world. In the story, there is the intelligent and affectionate Hua Xu.There is the loyal and brave Shennong family, the suave and romantic Gao Xin family, the erudite Xiling family, the cunning nine-tailed fox Tu Shan family who loves money, the mentally handicapped ghost Fang family, and the Chishui family who is good at controlling water. , there is the Jin Tian clan who is good at casting... They worked with Pangu Earth to eradicate demons and ghosts, and created the Great Wilderness.At that time, there was no royal family in the Great Wilderness, no royal family of Shennong, no royal family of Gaoxing, and no royal family of Xuanyuan. Adults and children watching the play are sometimes amused by the cunning nine-tailed fox Tu Shanshi.Sometimes she wipes tears for the cunning and wise Gui Fangshi, sometimes cheers for the loyal and brave Shennong family, and sometimes sighs for the intelligent and sentimental Hua Xu family.Seeing the suave and romantic Gao Xin gave up the prosperity and prosperity of the Central Plains for the sake of the peace of the wilderness, and went to guard the distant and desolate Tanggu, they even applauded vigorously together and cheered loudly. Xiaoyao was also fascinated by it, and sighed endlessly.Although there are many discrepancies between the affirmation and the truth when everything becomes a legend, she believes that the heroism, friendship, loyalty, and sacrifice in the story are all true. In addition to lamenting the stories, Xiaoyao lamented Zhuanxu's thoughts even more. These are just Fangxiang plays that are hard to wait for in the lobby during the slack season. The people in Gaoxin also watch and play. They don't need money anyway, laugh and cry , Still going to work the next day.However, after laughing and crying, they unknowingly accepted a fact conveyed by Zhuanxu: one family in the world, there is no distinction between Gaoxin and Xuanyuan, whether it is the people of the Central Plains, Gaoxin, or the people of the Northland and Southern Xinjiang. , are the people of the Great Wilderness. After watching Fang Xiangxi, the night was very late, Zhuanxu and the three didn't go on their way, and they rested in this village that night. On the second day, sitting in an ox cart to divide, a group of children were playing games under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. They had no money to buy masks, so they used the grass juice fuel available everywhere in the countryside to paint their faces in colorful colors: You are Shennong ;I, I want to be Tu Shan; Xin Geer is the most handsome, I will be Gao Xin; Dashan can swim the best, I will be Chishui; The legend of heroes and beauties is staged strangely and interestingly in children's games. Xiaoyao watched and laughed, and sighed while laughing.As long as Zhuanxu and Fenglong don't commit crimes, when these children grow up, they won't hate the Chishui family, nor will they hate Zhuanxu. The bullock cart slowly left the village, and the screams of the children gradually disappeared. Xiao Yao bowed her hands to Zhuan Xu, expressing her admiration: "I really don't know how you came up with it? Even I was affected by watching the Fang Xiang play last night, and they will definitely be affected too." Zhuanxu said: "Fang Xiangxi tells the truth, I just let the people face up to a fact." Xiao Yao couldn't help but sneered, "I hope you don't need to sacrifice your life to face up to this fact." Looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, Zhuan Xu said, "I have lived in Gaoxin for more than two hundred years. I used to go out early and return late with fishermen, fishing hard; After my companions dug the lotus roots, they walked around the lotus pond and sang under the moonlight; they also assassinated bandits with soldiers. When I was forced to leave Xuanyuan and wandered around Gaoxin, it was the people in this land who accompanied me through that place. It was a lonely and bewildering day. Although they had died a long time ago, their descendants still lived in this land. They would still go out early and return late in order to feed their families, would still use their hard-earned money to buy wine, and would still sing songs under the moon. The girl who pursues her favorite will still shed blood and sacrifice to kill the bandits, I know their hardships, and I also know their joy!" Zhuanxu looked back at Xiaoyao, his eyes were calm and sincere: "Xiaoyao, in terms of feelings for this land, I will only be deeper than you, never shallower than you!" Xiaoyao was speechless, indeed, although she was Gao Xin's concubine, she didn't know Gao Xin well, Zhuan Xu was the one who walked every inch of Gao Xin's land and every river. Zhuanxu said: "I admit that I have my own ambitions, but I just acted in accordance with the general trend of the world at the right time. A unified wilderness is good for all people in the world. Wars inevitably lead to bloodshed, but I have tried my best to avoid injuries." And innocent. Xiaoyao, I don't have the extravagant hope to get you to agree with my actions, but at least please see my efforts." Xiao Yao turned her head to look at the scenery of the field, and after a while, she said in a low voice: "I saw it." The voice was like a thin thread, but Zhuan Xu and Jing had sharp ears and eyes, and they could hear it clearly. Zhuan Xu sighed contentedly, crossed his hands, pillowed it under his head, leaned against the bullock cart, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance.He has always been moody, but now thinking about Xiaoyao's words, he grinned happily like a young man. Zhuanxu sang the fisherman's song in Gaoxin dialect in the loud and clear singing voice: stepping on the bow Bamboo twigs hot sun head full body rain shower head cold wind piercing the bones ... On the river not far away, the fishermen who were fishing with their boats opened their throats and sang together when they heard his singing. Zhuanxu seemed to want to compete with him, so he shouted happily: bran head wearing a knotted head Nailhead on a fishing boat fisherman naked Dusk hits five o'clock Ke Dao a basket of wild fish ... Jing was very surprised. She knew that Zhuan Xu had been living among the people for hundreds of years, and she also knew that he had a strong personality, but she really didn't expect that he would still show this side now.It seems that Zhuanxu has always been like this in front of Xiaoyao, but today he happened to bump into him. Jing remembered the words of the Yellow Emperor, "Between Zhuanxu and Xiaoyao, I am just an outsider." Jing suddenly felt a little uneasy, but when she thought about it carefully, she didn't understand why she was uneasy. The marriage between him and Xiaoyao was over. Both Zhuanxu and Huangdi agree, Zhuanxu has never objected to his association with Xiaoyao. In the evening of the second day, they arrived at Hong Leong's army camp. Thinking of seeing Feng Long, Xiaoyao didn't feel awkward, and whispered to Zhuanxu, "How about I change my clothes and pretend to be your hidden guard!" Zhuanxu said: "I've been hiding for almost twenty years. Is it possible that you plan to hide for the rest of your life? Isn't it just a marriage escape? Both Fenglong and Jing don't mind your crap, why don't you let it go?" When Zhuan Xu spoke, his voice was not suppressed at all. Jing who was walking behind and Feng Long who had just left the tent could hear clearly. Both of them were a little embarrassed, but Zhuan Xu acted as if he hadn't seen anything. In front of Fenglong, he asked with a smile: "Fenglong, you should tell her, do you still have something in your heart about her escape from marriage?" Feng Long bowed to Zhuanxu to salute, and when he got up, he said: "From the time I open my eyes in the morning to the time I close my eyes at night, I'm always thinking about giving birth and harvesting, and dreaming at night is also about giving birth and harvesting." Zhuanxu asked Jing again: "Do you mind if Xiaoyao escaped marriage?" Jing stared at Xiaoyao, and said very clearly: "I don't mind at all." Zhuanxu said: "Did you hear that? One has long forgotten, and the other doesn't mind at all. Can you also let it go?" Although Xiaoyao was very embarrassed, she also understood that Zhuanxu took the opportunity to talk about the matter. After all, even if she could hide from Fenglong for the rest of her life, Jing was still Fenglong's friend, and Fenglong and Jing couldn't be alienated because of her.Xiao Yao bowed to Feng Long: "General." Feng Long politely returned a salute: "Miss Xiling." Xiaoyao retreated behind Zhuanxu and Jing. Feng Long looked at Jing and asked curiously: "Why did you come down with your Majesty?" The embarrassment just now has disappeared, and the casualness of the past has returned. Jing said with a smile: "I thought you would never meet someone who would treat you in this life. I didn't expect that Li Shou actually made you lose three consecutive battles. Naturally, I came to watch the excitement." Feng Long made a heartbroken look, and called out strangely: "Your Majesty, listen!" The three men walked into the tent and talked about business. Xiaoyao quietly left to wash and change clothes.Now she really believes that Feng Leong has let go of everything. This is the difference between men and women. A man's world is wider, and many things will be diluted soon. Long would really mind it, but after three years, Feng Leong would not feel any more. Today, as a general, he commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and he would not care about Xiaoyao's escape from marriage, let alone Xiaoyao's death. It wasn't Princess Gao Xin, despite the rumors that she was Chi You's daughter, I'm afraid the ambitious Feng Leong was very lucky that he didn't marry her. Zhuanxu sent a person to see Jing, who could provide all the information Jing needed and help Jing complete the task entrusted by Zhuanxu, it was Jin Xuan. The old friend reunited, Xiaoyao was very happy, specially prepared appetizers, and had a few drinks with Jin Xuan. Xiao Yao asked, "Why are you in Gaoxin?" Jin Xuan said: "Your Majesty needs news from Gao Xin the most, so I came to Gao Xin to help His Majesty collect news." Xiaoyao laughed and said, "I thought you and Xiaoxiao would become His Majesty's concubines, but I didn't expect you two to continue doing what you did before. With your merits, it is very easy to become a concubine. I think you are right." Your Majesty... I thought you would stay at Zijinding, but it seems I misunderstood." Jin Xuan looked at Xiaoyao with a smile, she didn't speak for a while, she drank a glass of wine slowly, and then said: "You have not misunderstood, I am indeed emotional. It is because I am emotional to His Majesty that I asked to leave." Xiao Yao said in surprise, "Why?" "If you are not emotional, everything is just how much you give and how much you get. Your Majesty has always been very clear about rewards and punishments. As long as I abide by my duty, I will definitely not treat me lightly. But if you understand love, you will want more uncontrollably, but I know I really know that Your Majesty can't give it to me. Rather than being tortured by the demons in my heart, suffering, or even making a big mistake, and making Your Majesty hate me, it is better to take advantage of my love and stay away from the world. With my credit, I can get His Majesty Blessed for a lifetime." Xiao Yao sighed: "You...you... are really smart and cruel! There are very few women who can give themselves a bright future in your situation!" "I also want to thank Your Majesty for giving me a brighter future! I know a lot of secrets. If it were someone else, it would be safe to keep me by my side, but if I wanted to leave, Your Majesty let me go!" Jin Xuan shook The wine cup smiled and said: "It's not easy to forget a man like Your Majesty! But I believe that time will dilute everything. The world is so big. As long as I am still on the road, there is always new hope. I will meet a man sooner or later. Let me forget Your Majesty." Xiaoyao raised her wine glass and toasted Jin Xuan: "I wish you meet that person soon!" Jin Xuan drank the wine with a smile, said goodbye and left, and took Jing to collect the information Jing wanted. On the 17th of Meng Qiu's appointment, Liaoshou's army launched an active attack. Ruo took over the morale of the previous three victories, the army pressed on every step, and Jumang defeated Xian. In order not to fall into the predicament of being alone, Feng Leong ordered Xian to retreat, and Xian led the army to retreat to the north of Lishui to join Feng Leong's army. Yu Jiang, who was proficient in water stations, was guarding the shore of Lishui. Lu Shou did not dare to rashly order to cross Lishui to pursue him. He ordered the army to station on the bank, and the two armies faced each other across Lishui. This is the fourth defeat to Laoshou. Feng Leong felt very ashamed, but Zhuan Xu comforted Feng Leong: "Preservation of troops is the most important thing. There will always be gains and losses in the territory. People die but can't be resurrected. If Xian Gu's army goes deep into the battle, it will be lost." Liaoxian and the Right Route Army are the irreversible failures, as long as they are alive, I believe they will conquer more and more territories." Because Xian is a disciple of the Chishui family, Feng Leong was a little worried at first, fearing that Zhuan Xu would misunderstand that he was reluctant to let his children take risks, so he ordered the retreat. Unexpectedly, Zhuan Xu did not have the slightest doubt, he understood and trusted him very much, Feng Leong was relieved and was very moved , he didn't make a wrong choice back then, Zhuanxu was indeed a wise king worth following. Feng Leong asked Jing to go outside for a walk. There was no one around, Feng Long said to Jing: "At that time, although I thought Zhuan Xu was good, but seeing that he was weak, I was determined to support him in fighting for the throne. Fortunately, you kept lobbying me and urged me to go down." Determination, thank you!" In order to make him make up his mind, Jing even said: "Because Zhuan is single and weak, you should choose him. Whether you choose Jiliang or Yuhao, it is icing on the cake, you are just a lot of supporters One of them, but if you choose Zhuanxu, you will be the first one, and you will be the only one in Zhuanxu's heart." Jing laughed and said, "I'm just analyzing the facts as they stand. You made the decision with your own eyes." Looking at Lishui in the distance, Fenglong sighed: "You are always like this, and you don't want to take credit for anything! You came up with a strategy to fight for the throne, abandoning Xuanyuan Mountain and choosing Shennong Mountain. You analyze it for me, Your Majesty's foundation is shallow Since you can't compete with Canglin and the others in Xuanyuan City, why don't you simply show weakness, give up Xuanyuan City, go to the Central Plains, and win the support of the Central Plains clan. With my help and yours, everything is very hopeful. After the Central Plains is scheduled, there will be four more With the support of the aristocratic family, since His Majesty is the eldest grandson of the Yellow Emperor and Lei Zu, it is impossible for Xuanyuan's old clan to strongly oppose his succession. Your lobbying and schemes moved me and made me decide to support Your Majesty. Your Majesty still thinks it is me The strategy is that I know heroes with my eyesight, and I have always had a sense of gratitude and trust in me, so that I can be a minister and friend with Your Majesty, and have an outstanding status." Fenglong asked in confusion: "Jing, why don't you fight with me for anything?" He was born the same as Jing, one is the future patriarch of the Chishui clan, and the other is the future patriarch of the Tushan clan. , Jing will only do more than him, not less, but Jing has been hiding behind the scenes, playing the role of his followers, and let him take credit for everything and achieve his ambitions. Jing said: "Why didn't I argue with you? What I gave up was what I didn't want, and what I really wanted was really not willing to give it to you." "You mean..." Feng Leong frowned and thought for a moment before realizing, "You mean Xiao Yao?" Jing sighed, and said: "You have always regarded me as a brother, but I am not open and aboveboard to you. I knew that you took a fancy to Xiaoyao, but I robbed her from your house; I knew that you wanted to marry Xiaoyao. But I asked Fangfeng Bei to help me snatch the marriage. I have never done anything wrong in my life, only these two things, but they were all against you." Feng Long recalled the events back then, and still felt a little angry: "When Xiaoyao repented of her marriage, it made me feel uncomfortable for a long time, and I almost felt ashamed." Jing said: "I thought I could let go, but I overestimated myself, sorry!" Feng Leong stared at Jing for a moment, then laughed suddenly: "I thought you were calm and magnanimous, and you acted in a bright manner. Every time I saw you, I felt ashamed of myself. It turns out that you are just a selfish, petty and dark man!" Jing said: "When Xiaoyao and I got engaged, you had already fought in Gaoxin. The gift you gave should have been prepared by the elders of the Chishui clan while cursing me. Although we have corresponded in recent years, we have never mentioned it. In this matter, nothing happened, but I hope to get your sincere blessing." "Do you care?" "I care a lot. You know, it's impossible for me to get my elder brother's blessing in this life. I don't want to and don't have your blessing." Feng Long couldn't help but be happy in his heart. Jing compared him to Hou, which showed that he really regarded him as a brother, but on the face he said embarrassingly: "I will think about it." Jing and Fenglong have been together day and night for more than 30 years, and he could see the narrowness in Fenglong's eyes at a glance. He laughed: "You think about it slowly, anyway, I still have a while to get married with Xiaoyao." Feng Leong stopped pretending, and said with a smile: "To be honest, I just found out that you and Xiaoyao are engaged. I was a little annoyed. After all, it's hard not to forget the past, but I admire your courage more. Xiaoyao is not what she used to be. , It used to be a treasure, everyone wanted it, but now it is a big trouble, no one wants to provoke it, at least I never have the courage to touch it, so a few days passed after I was angry, but I couldn't be happy, so I ordered The elder will prepare some congratulatory gifts for you." Feng Long patted Jing on the shoulder, "Don't worry, when you get married, I will prepare a congratulatory gift for you in person, as long as the dead man is not fighting with me, I will definitely find time to go attend a wedding." "thanks!" "What did you thank me for? If you really want to say thank you, I should thank you. Everyone envies the head of the fourth family, but in my eyes, he is a prison. In the past, as long as you must listen to my nonsense, you can only You will not reprimand me for being bold and reckless, not only do you not reprimand, but you have always supported me. Now, I have finally broken the ancestral precepts, entered the court as an official, became a general, and chased my dream! Jing, you helped me get what I really want If you want it, don’t say that Xiaoyao doesn’t belong to me, even if it’s mine, you just take it, she is not what I want, but you are willing to exchange your life for her.” Feng Long seduced Jing's shoulders, and sighed with a smile: "Actually, I should be glad that what you want is Xiaoyao, if what you want is the same as what I want, one mountain cannot be number two, I'm really afraid that we Can't be a brother." Jing didn't reject Feng Leong calmly because she resisted physical contact as before. After experiencing so many joys and sorrows, he knew that under the influence of power and power, in their current position, a shoulder-to-shoulder intimacy is not enough. Easy, at this moment, Feng Leong and he completely trusted each other, so they both gave each other the distance to kill with one blow. As soon as Feng Long and Jing arrived outside the camp, Yu Jiang came in a hurry and said: "I caught a woman who sneaked into the barracks. The origin is unknown, but it should be a nobleman of Gaoxin." Feng Long said in surprise: "Didn't you interrogate clearly?" There were two scars on Yu Jiang's face, and his expression was very awkward: "That woman is too savage, I... I... let the general go to interrogate her!" Feng Long said to Jing: "It's okay anyway, let's take a look at it!" Jing didn't object, and followed Feng Leong towards Yu Jiang's camp. From afar, I saw a woman being tightly bound, but she refused to give in, and still fired a water arrow from the left and a water blade from the right.The soldiers didn't dare to kill her, and couldn't give up their duties, so they could only surround her. Feng Long sighed: "If it is Gao Xin's secret work, she has already been caught, and it is unreasonable to be so flamboyant! But if she is not careful, why is she not willing to speak well?" Jing had already recognized who it was, and followed Feng Leong quickly without saying a word. When he got closer and saw the woman's face, Feng Long was stunned.This gagged woman with her hands and feet trapped turned out to be Princess Gao Xin.Although Yu Jiang came from the Xihe tribe of Gao Xin, he had never met Wang Ji. Feng Long hurriedly asked: "Who gagged?" A soldier played loudly: "It's my subordinate, she has been scolding His Majesty and the general, so I stuffed her mouth with a sweat towel." Feng Long hurriedly waved his hand to untie the tendons of the monster, and took off the sweater. Anian cursed: "Damn Zhuanxu, you are a black-hearted, ungrateful bastard! And Yu Jiang, ungrateful bastard, get out..." Feng Longchou's eyes and nose were wrinkled together, he really wanted to put the sweat towel back into Ah Nian's mouth, but he didn't have the guts. Jing took a glass of clean water and handed it to Anian: "Rinse your mouth first." Ah Nian was stunned for a moment, she didn't care about swearing, she immediately took the cup and rinsed her mouth vigorously, remembering that it turned out to be a sweat towel used by a stinky man just now, she couldn't wait to use a brush to wipe her mouth from the inside out Scrub it again. Jing seemed to understand what she wanted to say very well, and said, "If you want to scold, wash up before scolding, I will take you to wash up." Ah Nian tilted his head and looked at Jing. The man in front of him had elegant eyebrows and a slender figure. He looked like clear springs in empty valleys and tall bamboos in mountain streams. It was calming to see, "I've seen you before. You are the son of Qingqiu—the head of the Tushan clan." Jing smiled and nodded: "This place is full of men, it's not clean, please Wang Ji come with me." Ah Nian obediently followed Jing and left. Feng Leong was secretly glad to have brought Jing here, and he ordered the soldiers not to reveal what happened today!Then, he immediately rushed to see Zhuan Xu, he couldn't afford to interrogate this "Gao Xin's meticulous work", and His Majesty had to go to interrogate himself if he wanted to interrogate. Jing brought A Nian to Xiaoyao's tent and handed it over, "Xiaoyao, guess who's here?" Jing lifted the curtain and invited Ah Nian in. His attitude was calm and his tone was natural. He didn't seem to feel that they were in conflict. Xiao Yao was only slightly taken aback, seeing Ah Nian in a state of distress, and immediately said to Xiaoxiao and Miao Pu: " Quickly prepare bathing utensils for Wang Ji." Ah Nian stood at the entrance of the tent.He didn't speak or move, just stared at Xiaoyao.Obviously, she never expected to see Xiaoyao here. Jing gestured to Xiaoyao to rinse her mouth, Xiaoyao took Guixu green salt and hibiscus flower water to Anian: "Rinse your mouth." Ah Nian felt that she should refuse, but the smelly sweat towel bothered her even more. She struggled a little, then began to wash her mouth and teeth Jing looked at Xiaoyao suspiciously, Xiaoyao nodded with a smile, Jing lifted the curtain and left quietly. After Ah Nian finished cleaning her teeth and rinsing her mouth, just as she was about to say a few harsh words aggressively, Xiao Yao said calmly, "You smell like sweat, go take a bath." Ah Nian asked herself in frustration, and immediately went to take a bath with Xiaoxiao. After taking a shower, changing into clean clothes, and returning to Xiaoyao's room again, Anian felt that the aura she had just now was gone, and real emotions welled up in her heart. Xiaoyao suddenly appeared in Wushen Mountain, snatched away her father and brother Zhuanxu, she hated Xiaoyao, never wanted to call Xiaoyao sister, but she always paid attention to Xiaoyao.Because of Wang Ji's noble status, he never dared to offend her face to face, but talked about her behind his back.Xiaoyao is different, never gossip about her behind her back, even don't let her maid to complain, but dare to scold her.Dare to hit her.When she had conflicts with Xinyue, Xiaoyao would defend her without hesitation and teach her what to do. She gradually accepted Xiaoyao as her sister, and even fell in love with her. The father and daughter went out to sea together, and the two sisters talked all night.When parting, she clearly agreed to see you in winter, and she even prepared a beautiful gift for Xiaoyao. However, Xiao Yao didn't come! She suddenly disappeared again.Just like she suddenly appeared in Wushen Mountain, she didn't say hello to Ah Nian. Ah Nian hates Xiaoyao not because she is Chi You's daughter. To the people of Gao Xin, although they have heard that Chi You is scary, but how scary it is has nothing to do with Gao Xin. Yao missed the appointment, and missed the appointment without saying hello! Looking at the calm Xiaoyao, Ah Nian suddenly felt very sad and angry.Look!How wonderful Xiaoyao is!I don't even remember promising her to go back to Wushen Mountain in winter and teach her how to swim! If it were Xiaoyao, she would definitely cover up her sadness and anger with calmness and suddenness, and care with indifference, but Ah Nian was different, when she was very angry, she would vent her dissatisfaction in her heart. Ah Nian angrily yelled at Xiaoyao: "Li Shou persuaded me not to blame you, saying that you are actually very pitiful. But how pitiful are you? I am the most pitiful one, a fake sister who tricked me into treating her as my sister With Zhuanxu, he actually..." Anian couldn't continue, tears filled his eyes, "You two are both cruel liars! I hate you!" Xiaoyao said: "I didn't lie to you to think of me as your older sister, I really wanted to be your older sister, but..." Xiaoyao wanted to say that God didn't follow her wishes, but felt sad that although she couldn't be the daughter of her father, But it is also very good that she is Daddy's daughter. Since she likes being Daddy's daughter, it is obviously inappropriate to say that God does not obey people's wishes. Ah Nian saw Xiao Yao talking while suddenly stopped, and asked loudly, "Just what?" "At that time, I didn't know that my biological father was Chi You." "You found out later, so you don't want to be my sister anymore?" Xiaoyao walked to the window and looked at the hills in the distance, not wanting to expose the weakness in her heart to Anian: "It's not that I want to, but...A Nian, His Majesty Jundi removed me from the Gaoxin family tree. I am not allowed to use Gao Xin as my family anymore." Anian opened his mouth, not knowing how to condemn Xiaoyao. After being expelled, Xiaoyao was indeed no longer qualified to go to Wushen Mountain. Thinking of the courtiers' contempt and vicious curses on Xiaoyao, Ah Nian's heart softened. Anian said: "Then you...you...can't come to Wushen Mountain, at least you should say hello to me, I...I...are still waiting for you." "You're waiting for me?" Xiao Yao was very surprised, only then did she realize that Ah Nian's attitude towards her was anger rather than contempt. Anian snorted, and said impatiently: "I'm not here to catch up with you! Since you're here, is that black-hearted bastard Zhuanxu also there, I want to see him!" Xiaoyao walked up to Ah Nian and sat down, and said: "I never knew my life experience, but when I suddenly found out, I felt very painful. From the moment I was born, everything was a lie. I didn't know anything, but everyone hated me." , want to kill me! I really didn’t expect you to wait for me. I thought you would look down on me and didn’t want to see me again. After all, everyone thinks that my mother is sorry for your father, and my father is Chi You. Now, when I face you, I am still cautious, for fear that you will say the most hurtful words if you disagree with me. I am afraid that you will call my mother, my father, and you will call me a villain. " Anian stared at Xiaoyao, and said hesitantly, "I can't see that you are in pain, nor can I see that you are careful." Xiao Yao smiled and said: "When I was young, I had no father or mother. No matter how painful it was, no one would comfort me. Crying would attract vicious dogs who bully me. I already like to hide all my emotions in my heart." Ah Nian was silent for a while, her expression softened.Asked: "Is Zhuanxu the same as you?" "almost." "Could it be that he suffered some grievances when he was in Gao Xin, but didn't let me and my father know about it, so he is attacking Gao Xin now?" Zhuanxu must have been wronged when he was in Gaoxin.But it was definitely not for this reason that he attacked Gao Xin. " Anxious and sad, Anian asked, "Why is that? Why did he do this? What can my father and I feel sorry for him? Why did he treat us like this?" Xiaoyao didn't know how to answer, Zhuanxu walked in through the curtain and said, "You have nothing to do to me, this is between me and your father." Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the camp lightly, and let the two who hadn't seen each other in decades talk alone for a while. Seeing Zhuanxu, Ah Nian felt all kinds of emotions rushing into her heart. She didn't even realize that the tears were falling down one after another. She knelt softly on the ground and cried, "I don't understand! My father also said that everything is against me. It has nothing to do, this is between you and him, but how can it have nothing to do with me? You are fighting! There will be bloodshed and death, how can it have nothing to do with me?" Zhuanxu said: "Why did Master let you sneak out? I will send someone to take you back to Wushen Mountain." 阿念哭求道：“颛顼哥哥，你不要再攻打高辛了，好不好？父王真的很辛苦，他的头发已经全白了，身体也越来越差，连行走都困难！” 阿念抓着颛顼的袍角，仰头看着颛顼，泪如雨下：“颛顼哥哥，我求求你！我求求你！”以前每当她撒娇央求颛顼时，无论再难的事颛顼都会答应她，可现在，颛顼只是面无表情地沉默。 良久的沉默后，颛顼终于开口说道：“对不起，我无法答应。” 阿念既悲伤又愤怒，质问道：“如果小夭还是父王的女儿，如果是她求你，你也不答应吗？” 颛顼平静地回答：“十年前，她已经逼求过我。阿念，我是以一国之君的身份做的这个决定，绝不会因为你或者小夭求我，就更改。” 阿念哇的一声大哭起来，恨颛顼无情，却又隐隐地释然，原来小夭已经求过颛顼，原来颛顼也没有答应小夭。 颛顼毕竟是看着阿念出生长大，心下不忍，蹲下身，将手帕递给她：“我知道你会恨我，也知道我这么说显得很虚伪，但我是真这么想。有些事是轩辕国和高辛国之间的事，有些事是我和你父王之间的事，但在你和我之间，你依旧是阿念，我也依旧是你的颛顼哥哥，只要不牵涉两国，凡你所求，我一定尽力让你满足。” 阿念用手帕掩住脸，嚎啕大哭，她不知道该怎么办，一边是父王，一边是颛顼，为什么父王和颛顼都能那么平静地说“和你无关”？如果和她无关，为什么自从两国开战，蓐收不再为她收集颛顼的消息，颛顼也不再给她写信？如果和他无关，为什么连什么都不懂的娘都让她不要再记挂颛顼？ 颛顼没有像以往一样，哄着阿念，逗她破涕为笑，他坐在阿念身边，沉默地看着阿念。眼睛内有过往的岁月，流露着哀伤。 阿念哭了小半个时辰，哭声渐渐小了。 颛顼问：“你说师父的头发全白了，是真的吗？” 阿念呜咽着说：“父王宣布小夭不再是王姬那年，有一天我去看他，发现他受了重伤，头发也全白了，本来一直在慢慢养伤，没想到你竟然发兵攻打我们，父王的病一直不见好转……我觉得父王是因为伤心，头发和身体才都好不了。” 颛顼说：“既然师父重病，你为什么不好好在五神山陪伴师父，去跑来这里？” 阿念立即抬起头，瞪着泪汪汪的眼睛，说道：“我可不是来找你！我是看到小夭，才知道你来了。” "I know." 阿念说：“我是来刺杀禺疆和丰隆。” 颛顼哑然，暗暗庆幸阿念不是来刺杀献。丰隆认得阿念，也不会伤到阿念，禺疆性子忠厚，对高辛怀着愧疚，看阿念一个弱女子，也不会下杀手，唯独那个冰块献，一旦出手就会见血。 颛顼没好气地说：“高辛有的是大将，还轮不到你来做刺客！我看我得给蓐收写封信，让他加强五神山的守卫。” 阿念又开始流眼泪，呜呜咽咽地说：“你知道的，白虎部和常曦部因为记恨父王没有从两部中选妃，却选了出身微贱，又聋又哑的母亲，一直都不服父王，也一直瞧不上我。这些年，军队忙着打仗，父王的身体一直不见好，他们就开始闹腾，嚷嚷着要父王立储君，父王就我一个女儿，青龙部和羲和不提议立我为储君，白虎部和常曦部坚决不同意，说我能力平庸，愚笨顽劣，不堪重用，他们要求从父王的子侄中选一位立为储君，父王一直没有表态，他们就日日吵。我才不稀罕当什么储君，可我不见得他们日日去闹父王。他们说我能力平庸、愚笨顽劣、不堪重用，我就想着非干一件大事给他们看看不可，所以我就打算来刺杀禺疆或丰隆。禺疆是我们高辛的叛徒，丰隆是领兵的大将军，不管我杀了谁，他们都得服气！” 颛顼说：“以后不许再做这样的傻事了！你不必在意白虎部和常曦部，他们和师父的矛盾由来已久，并不是因为王妃和你。你不要因为他们说的话，就歉疚不安，觉得是因为王妃和你才让师父陷入今日的困境。” 阿念将信将疑：“真的吗？” “真的！只不过师父当年的确可以用选妃来缓和矛盾，可师父没有做。” 阿念瘪嘴，眼泪又要落下来：“那还是和我们有关了。” 颛顼说：“师父是因为自己的执念不肯选妃，应不是为了你娘，才不肯选妃！跟你们无关，明白吗？” 阿念想了一想，含着眼泪点点头。 “阿念，你要相信师父，有时候看似是困境，也许只是想蜘蛛织网。”颛顼指着窗外的蛛网，“蜘蛛结网，看似把自己困在了网中央，可最后被网缚住的是飞来飞去的蝴蝶。” 阿念似懂非懂，琢磨了一会儿，哇一声又大哭起来，“你为什么要攻打高辛？你要不攻打高辛，我就可以早点问你了，你告诉我怎么可能做才对，我也不用来刺杀禺疆，还被臭男人的汗巾堵嘴……” 颛顼一边轻拍着阿念的背，一边琢磨着：以师父的手段，白虎部和常曦部肯定讨不着好，可是立储君的事既然被提了出来，师父就必须面对。因为这不仅仅是白虎部和常曦部关心的事，还有青龙部、羲和部，所有高辛氏和朝臣关心的是。除了阿念，没有人再名正言顺，可师父从未将阿念作为国君培养过……师父这一步如果走不好，高辛会打乱，最稳妥的做法自然是为阿念选一个有能力又可靠的夫婿，立阿念为储君，在悉心栽培阿念的孩子。师父要选蓐收嘛？难道就就是蓐收最近一直在强硬进攻的原因？ 颛顼实在猜不透师父的想法，虽然他在师父身边两百多年，可他依旧看不透师父，就如他永远都无法看透爷爷，也许这就是帝王，永远难以预测他们的心思。 为了刺杀禺疆和丰隆，阿念连着折腾了几日，昨儿夜里压根儿没合眼，这会儿哭累了，紧绷的那根弦也松了，呜呜咽咽地睡了过去。 颛顼对侍女招了下手，让她们服侍阿念歇息。 颛顼走出营帐，顺着侍卫指的路，向着山林中行去。 夕阳下，璟和小夭坐在溪水畔的青石上，小夭喋喋不休地说着什么，璟一直微笑地听着，小夭突然飞快地在璟唇角亲了一下，不等璟反应过来，她又若无其事地坐了回去，笑咪咪地看着别处。 颛顼重重踩了一脚，脚下的枯枝折断，发出清脆的声音。 小夭立即回头，看到他，心虚地脸红了：“哥哥。” 璟若无其事地站起，问道：“王姬离开了吗？” 颛顼说：“她睡着了，我看她很是疲惫，不想再折腾她，命侍女服侍她在小夭的帐内歇下了。小夭，你今夜就和苗莆凑合着睡一晚。” “我和阿念睡一个营帐也可以啊！” 颛顼不想小夭和阿念接触太多，说道：“不用，我让潇潇在照顾她，你去和苗莆凑合一晚。” 小夭说：“好。” 璟看颛顼好像有心事，主动说道：“我先回去了。” 小夭笑着朝他挥挥手。 颛顼沿着溪水慢步而行，小夭跟在他身侧，等他开口，可等了很久，颛顼都只是边走边沉思。 小夭不得不主动问道：“你在想什么？是为阿念犯愁吗？” “我在为这片土地上的百姓犯愁。”颛顼叹了口气，“我在轩辕出生，在高辛长大，有时候，我分不清我究竟是把自己看作轩辕人，还是高辛人。作为轩辕国君，我应该很高兴看到高辛出乱子，对轩辕而言是有机可乘的大好事，可我竟然一点都不高兴，反而衷心希望师父能想出妥当的法子，解决一切，不要让这片土地被战火蹂躏。” 小夭眨巴着眼睛：“现在究竟是谁再用战火蹂躏这片土地？” 颛顼气恼，拍了小夭一下，“我虽然挑起了战争，但我和师父都很克制，迄今为止战争并未波及平民百姓，但如果高辛真出了内乱，那些人可不会有师父和我的克制，他们只会被贪婪驱使，疯狂地毁灭一切。” 小夭心中惊骇：“究竟会出什么乱子？” “告诉你也没用，不想说！” “你……哼！”小夭气结，转身想走，“我去找璟了。” 颛顼一把抓住她：“不许！” 颛顼的手如铁箍，勒得小夭忍不住叫：“疼!” 颛顼忙松了手，小夭揉着胳膊，“你怎么了？太过分了！” 颛顼紧抿着唇，一言不发，越走越快。 小夭看出他心情十分恶劣，忙跑着去追他：“好了，你不想说，我就不问了。慢一点，我追不上你了……” 颛顼猛地停住步子，小夭小心翼翼地看着他。 颛顼望向西北方，低声说：“还记得在轩辕山的朝云殿时，你曾说……” 小夭静静等着颛顼的下文，颛顼却再没有说话，小夭问：“我怎么了？” 颛顼微笑着说：“没什么。” 颛顼的微笑已经天衣无缝，再看不出他的真实心情，小夭狐疑地看着他。 颛顼拉住小夭的手，拖着她向营帐行去，笑道：“回去休息吧，我没事，只是被阿念的突然出现扰乱了心思。” 小夭却没有随着颛顼走，她看着他说：“我不喜欢你攻打高辛，时不时会讽刺打击你，但我并不是完全不理解你。虽然你出生在轩辕，可你在高辛的时间远远大于轩辕，这片土地让你成为今天的你，从感情来说，只怕你对高辛的感情会多于轩辕。我知道你这次带我出来，只是想让我不要那么紧张担忧，你想告诉我，你没有变！你是帝王，可你也依旧是那个和普通人一样会伤心难过的男孩，自己失去过亲人，自己痛过，所以绝不会随意夺去别人的亲人，让别人也痛。我不知道高辛会发生什么，但我知道你会阻止最坏的事发生。” 颛顼缓缓回过了头，笑看着小夭，这一次的笑容，很柔和、很纯粹，是真正的开心。 小夭不好意思地笑了笑，摇摇颛顼的手：“我们回去吧！” 清晨，阿念醒来时，发现自己在飞往五神山的云辇上。 她不甘心，觉得颛顼不能这么对她，可又隐隐地觉得这是最好的告别方式。能说的都说了，剩下的都不是能说的，或者说了也没用的！ 阿念摸着手腕上缠绕的扶桑游丝，这是她请金天氏为她铸造的刺杀兵器，昨日，她距离颛顼那么近，却压根儿没有动念想用它。 丰隆的大军进攻缓慢，仗打了十年，所占的高辛国土连十分之一都没有，可如果有朝一日，轩辕大军到了五神山前，她会不会想用扶桑游丝去刺杀颛顼呢？ 未解相思时，已种相思，刚懂相思，尝的就是相思苦，本以为已经吞下了苦，可没想到还有更苦的。 细细想去，对颛顼的爱恋，竟然从一开始就是九分苦一分甜，到今日，已全是苦，却仍割舍不下。 阿念弯下身，用手捂住脸，眼泪悄无声息地坠落。原来能号啕大哭时，还是因为知道有人听，盼着他会心疼，独自一人时，只会选择无声地落泪。
