Chapter 14 Chapter 4 Cherish the Past

Fusu and Mrs. Xiang didn't realize that their meeting and dispute in Danfeng Hall were completely watched by one person. That person is the young master Qingren hiding behind the bamboo curtain of Qinglan Pavilion. Young Master Qingren still couldn't figure out the relationship between Mrs. Xiang and the high priest. In fact, ever since he grew up and moved out of Cangwu Garden, he has gradually developed such a habit. When he has nothing to do, he hides behind the bamboo curtain of Qinglan Pavilion alone and peeps at that mysterious woman in white, His Royal Highness Danfeng.He had already discovered that Fusu, the high priest, had an unusually important meaning to Mrs. Xiang, but the relationship between the two was not ambiguous.In fact, regardless of whether it is ambiguous or not, as long as he hints to everyone in the court that the two have colluded, it is enough to make his mortal enemy, Mrs. Xiang, very anxious.But Qing Ren refused to do this after all, and he didn't even mention his discovery to anyone.

Qing Ren stared silently at His Majesty Dan Feng's elegantly dressed, familiar yet distant face.So he remembered a dream that he had had from time to time since he was a child, but he refused to tell anyone—including Moro, the warrior who had loved his brother since he was a child.During the day, he is a vigorous young man like the sun, bending his bow to shoot geese, and being suave and suave.At night, he began to dream, dreaming of a beautiful woman in lotus clothes, wandering in the distant Nine Yi mountains, forests and green fields, floating gently like a free soul.While he was in a state of mind, the woman suddenly turned around.So he woke up from the dream, the woman's face was exactly the same as Queen Xiang's!

For some reason, seeing that dead You Clan member in the street market during the day cast a deep shadow in his heart.For many years, in unknown moments, he silently watched that distant green field, almost haunted by dreams—perhaps it was also for those dreams that he could not confide in others? "My lord," someone quietly approached, "Our troops have already..." Young Master Qingren made a firm gesture, indicating that he understood.The person who came did not back down, as if waiting for him to say something.Young Master Qingren was expressionless, he put down the bamboo curtain, and walked out of Qinglan Pavilion without saying a word, without even looking at his biological mother, Mrs. Xi.

"Tonight's evening..." Even though Qinglan Pavilion was surrounded by young master Qingren and Mrs. Xi's people at this time, he still whispered in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible. It's just that his face is calm and calm, but his mind is still swaying.Yunmeng, Jiuyi, Jianglishan, distant and warm names... Faintly heard people say that Mrs. Xiang spent her childhood there... Fusu finally returned to the hut behind the temple, silently removed his mask, and couldn't help but glance into the mirror again.Dark blue moon, this—is his whole life? "Shan, you're leaving here tonight."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" The little girl raised her head, "I came here on my leopard. Sister Ji Sun asked me to stay with you for a few more days, so I let the leopard go back first. I don't have wings yet. Are you flying back?" Fu Su frowned, "There is always a way. You have to leave as soon as possible, you can't stay here." "Is it that serious?" Fu Su said calmly: "Mrs. Xiang talked to me, she...she won't give up. It's better to go back to Jiuyi and tell Ji Sun. You should be prepared." "Where is the Commander ordering you?" Shan asked.

Fusu smiled.Shan seemed to have a premonition of something, but she couldn't persuade her. In the backyard of the temple, in the deepest part of the old stable, a skinny old horse was leaning on a post, slowly adding dew from the manger.Fu Su stroked the old horse's dull fur, and said softly: "Huifeng, Huifeng, we're going home." "That's it?" Shan looked at the old horse and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Fusu pulled Huifeng out.The moonlight is very good tonight, Huifeng raised his head to look at the moon, and there were puffs of white air in his nose.

"Just like me, it is also old!" Fusu sighed, "Having lived in seclusion for 20 years, who knows if there is still one last breath and can fly back to his hometown! It stands to reason that the magic horse of Jiuyi Mountain, every time At midnight, under the moonlight, you can grow wings to fly in the sky. Before dawn, you will return to Yunmeng." Huifeng stared at the elderly master, seeming to understand their conversation, his eyes were melting.Fusu patted it on the back and smiled, "Huifeng, you're about to meet Jisun. She's grown up!" Shan pondered, and finally said: "Master, there are some things that you haven't told Sister Jisun yet."

Fusu looked up at the moon, there was still more than an hour before the ion time.The cool wind is blowing the willows in the courtyard, the leaves are rustling, it is already autumn. "I may not be able to go back again... I promised Ji Sun, but I didn't have the chance, so I can only ask you to tell me. In fact, Ji Sun's father is Chong Hua, the last patriarch of Jiuyi." "It's Chonghua, the famous leader of the Jiuyi clan?" Shan's eyes widened. "He is a hero of Jiuyi, a real hero... Chonghua and I are good friends who grew up together, like brothers, we worship the old Si Ming of Jiuyi as our teacher together. However, I can only read scriptures for fortune-telling , to be a servant of the gods, so when the old man died, he passed the seat to me, and asked me to guard the altar of Jiuyi forever. Chonghua is different, he is brave and heroic, and he is kind and generous. He is not ordinary. Eighteen years old When the flood receded, he won the unanimous respect of the tribe and became the youngest patriarch in the history of the Jiuyi tribe. At that time, Wu Xiang As the great general of Qing Kui, he had already destroyed the countries of Xi, Quan and Pin. The army was overwhelming, and Chonghua led his people to resist in blood. You know that Wu Xiang is known as the God of War. At that time, his army attacked the city and plundered the land like a storm. , unstoppable. But we You Clan people have been stalemate with him for a year..."

But what a tragic and heroic year it was!Batch after batch of young and brave You clan warriors turned into nameless corpses sleeping at the bottom of Yunmeng Lake.The enemy's army is continuously increasing.The old people and children, crying the names of their relatives, fled to the deep mountains and old forests to avoid the bloody massacre of the invaders.The beautiful and peaceful Yunmeng has become a field full of bones and smoke for thousands of miles.Of the nine tribes and thirteen villages in Jiuyi Mountain, only Ge Tian and Wuyou were left in the end, retreating to the top of Jiangli Mountain.Jiangli Mountain is the lifeline of the You Clan people, if they fail again, it will be over.

Seeing that Fusu was choking and unable to speak, Shan changed the subject, "What about Mrs. Xiang? What was she doing then?" "Ms. Xiang, she was always by her husband's side. Xiangling has a bizarre life experience. In Qingkui, Fusu is probably the only one who knows her details." Fusu smiled slightly. "You know, Mrs. Xiang was originally the eldest daughter of Qing Kui's former king, but it was the water in Yunmeng Lake that raised her. When Zhao was the prince, she had a very loving concubine. Later, Qing Kui A big coup took place, and the family of the crown princess was accused of being one of the rebels, and all families were executed. In order to keep his position as crown prince, Zhao refused to send the princess to the Ministry of Criminal Justice so that the Ministry of Justice exiled her to Yunmeng The concubine died on the way to betrothed soon after. Later, he refused to marry the daughter of the chief minister and succeeded in inheriting the throne. However, the tragic death of the concubine always made him feel uneasy and depressed, so that he died prematurely.

What made him even more sad was that he didn't know that the princess was already pregnant at that time.The princess died of dystocia when giving birth to Xiangling.When Zhao refused to get the news, he secretly sent someone to chase after her. The body of the princess had been thrown into the Yangtze River, and the whereabouts of the baby girl she gave birth were also unknown. It is said that the escorted soldiers gave it to a wandering monk who was passing by. .At that time, the prince refused and did not dare to look for his daughter blatantly, only secretly sad.After he succeeded to the throne, he ordered the world to look for Xiangling, and vowed to pay his informants heavily, but he never got any news. In fact, that wandering monk is the master of me and Chonghua, the old Si Ming of the You Clan.Xiang Ling was brought up by Lao Si Ming.When we were young, we used to study and play together.She's smart and smart, and knows more than I do.If not, if she didn't want to marry Chonghua, perhaps the old Si Ming would let her inherit his. But Xiangling chose to protect her husband Chonghua and follow him.Lao Si Ming did not hide her background from Xiang Ling.But Xiangling said that she grew up in Jiuyi Mountain, and she wanted to be a real Youzu forever and never go to Qingkui. " "Then why—" Shan was puzzled. "Nothing is eternal." Fusu said.Perhaps, Xiangling's oath that day was only out of a moment of anger.Because her biological mother was tragically abandoned, she was reluctant to return to Qingkui to meet her father.But then things changed. "We are ready to die for our country. Who knows that the final battle between Wu Xiang and the You Clan did not happen as expected. Because at that time, Wu Xiang was impeached by the Qingkui court, saying that he lost his troops and lost his generals. Jinyi. You know, Wu Xiang has always been ambitious. At this critical moment, he had to give up the battle at Jiuyi Mountain and return to the court to take care of it. That morning, Qing Kui's army retreated. I rushed to Chonghua's place excitedly Go, tell him the good news. Unexpectedly, Chonghua fell ill, but his wife Xiangling disappeared. Only their newborn daughter was crying in the cradle. Later I found out that Qing Kui's eldest princess found Wu Xiang by herself, followed Qing Kui's army and returned to her father's side. Chonghua became ill from overwork, and he never recovered from that illness.Before he died, he entrusted Xiao Jisun, who had no mother, to me and asked me to take her as his apprentice.However, shortly after Chonghua's death, news came that Xiangling and Wuxiang were married, and she became queen again.I... I thought that before Chonghua died, he would never forget to ask me to take care of his wife as much as possible, so when Jisun was ten years old, I came to Yingdu to look for Xiangling. " "It turns out that sister Ji Sun is so pitiful. She has no mother since she was a child." Shan sighed softly, "She never said anything." Help Su silently.He has always known that that girl bears too many burdens of fate, but as a master, he cannot help her get rid of it.Not only can't help her, but also give her more important responsibilities.He suddenly thought of Mrs. Xiang, who never asked him about this abandoned daughter. Could it be that she didn't remember? Back then Mrs. Xiang loved Prince Qingren for no reason. Was it because she felt guilty about her daughter?Fusu had no way of knowing.The deepest grief is never borne. I only know their mother and daughter, and I am afraid that there will be no time to meet. "Anyone who drinks the water of Yunmeng will eventually return to that vast green field." Is this ancient song passed down from generation to generation among the You Clan people true?The old Si Ming read it solemnly, which once made all three of them very excited.But now, Chonghua is dead, Xiangling is married, and even he is gradually suspicious of helping Su. At this time, the old horse returned to the wind with a long hiss. When the two turned their heads, they saw two snow-white and crystal-clear wings gradually raised towards the bright moonlight. "It can still fly, it's about to fly—" Fusu was excited and held Shan's hand tightly. The old horse kicked the yellow dust, raised its wings and wanted to fly, and suddenly became heroic.Shan excitedly jumped on the horse's back, and the old horse raised its hooves and flew into the air. "Shan," Fusu yelled from below, "tell Ji Sun to guard Jiangli Mountain." Shan nodded from afar. The elf, riding a silver horse, disappeared into the sky.Fusu stared at the southern sky and murmured: "Actually, I am a guilty person." Fusu returned to the room, rolled up some manuscripts from these years, threw them into the stove, and watched them burn silently, turning them into ashes. When it was getting dark, someone knocked on the door. Fusu opened the window and asked indifferently, "Is it General Muliu?" Mu Liu was startled, and said with a sneer, "So you've already expected it." Fusu turned her face away proudly, not looking at the northerner.As Mrs. Xiang's confidant, he and Mu Liu are really different people, but they are both very proud and will always look down on each other. Mu Liu ignored him, and showed Mrs. Xiang's order to him. "The high priest helped Su, and his inability to summon the soul caused my king to be seriously ill. I am now ordering him to be confined in the temple. After my king recovers from illness, he will be sentenced as appropriate."
