Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Jiang Feng was frightened by Gao Hui's stare, and could only say angrily: "You are now involved in the court, so you are naturally more aware of these things than me and my elder brother."

Gao Hui drank a glass of wine, which made him feel sad.

He said: "A true man should make achievements and serve his country, and he will not avoid them because of misfortune or fortune."

When he said this, Jiang Feng was at a loss for words.

This obviously means that we are not going to have a good chat.

Jiang Feng shut up.

Gao Hui's true feelings can never be expressed in words, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

He turned to Guan Shanyun and asked, "Brother, what are your plans?"

Guan Shanyun said: "Even though we have captured the Iron Arm, how can we be sure that others don't have a backup plan! Let's wait until next year to send Afeng back to Chang'an intact, and then make plans!"

Gao Hui also said worriedly: "If the real master is not dead and only one of his minions is captured, they can still send out ten iron arms and copper arms."

Guan Shanyun said: "If you don't kill the snake, you will suffer from it! There are people who can be thieves for a thousand years, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand years."

Gao Hui said: "Back then, if someone did something bad, they would be hung up and beaten. If they did it again, they would be beaten again. Everyone would tell each other clearly, and after the beating, they could drink and eat meat together. It was so refreshing! Nowadays, those nobles sit at a table and drink, laughing so warmly, but if they start fighting, they will definitely draw their knives and stab people in the heart. Sometimes, they don't even know why they died!"

Yes, that’s how he beat Dou Ding!

He drank some wine and said, "Even if you fight back, you have to hit the target with one strike. If you can't kill your opponent with one blow, you must be resolute and endure it, and never get angry!"

It seems that Gao Hui also has some insights.

The reason why Li Longye never moved to Ji'an was because he was not sure of eradicating the problem completely in one go!

Talking about the bad things in Chang'an City, the two men drank even faster.

Gao Hui saw Jiang Feng sitting there and had a lot to say but hesitated.

Guan Shanyun said, "We have to travel soon tomorrow, so Afeng should go and rest early. Ahui and I will have a few more drinks."

Jiang Feng had nothing to say, so he stood up and said goodbye.

She had already closed the door and gone out, but Gao Hui was still unable to come back to his senses.

Guan Shanyun didn't say anything and just drank.

After a while, Gao Hui said, "That time, Brother Jiang passed the imperial examination, and Uncle Jiang held a banquet at home. I had a conflict with Afeng. I complained that she didn't believe me and didn't like me, and I left the banquet in anger. The next day, I found out that she was poisoned, and went to Qiushan to seek a famous doctor. When I chased her to Qiushan, the prince's men had blocked the road. I couldn't go up the mountain, and I couldn't beat Li Bian. I really cried to the sky and the earth, but no one answered."

Guan Shanyun said: "Prince Xue must have known that you would go."

Gao Hui said, "I will not leave. I will fight with Li Bian. When I am hungry, I will eat cakes. When I am thirsty, I will drink mountain spring water. When I am tired, I will lie down and sleep. When I have enough energy, I will fight with Li Bian again! I thought that if I beat him, I can go up the mountain, and when I go up the mountain, I can see my beloved girl. We fought for three days. Li Bian was afraid of something happening, so he asked King Xue to come down."

"The prince is used to cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron."

"He smiled and said to me, 'A Feng doesn't like you, why are you so stubborn? You're only making things difficult for the girl!'"

"He also said that Ah Feng was already...his and had agreed to go back to Chang'an with him and become his princess."

"At that time, I was like crazy, but I had already half believed it in my heart. I just felt like a joke."

"Prince Xue sent me down the mountain with just a few words."

"I returned to Liangzhou in a daze, and met Dou Ding on the way! He was also going to the mountain to visit Jiang Feng, and when he knew Jiang Feng was fine, he returned with me. Seeing that I was covered in blood and in a mess, he found an inn to change into clean clothes. When I came out, it happened that several generals of the Protectorate were having a meal, and they were talking about Prince Xue and Afeng! I was so angry that I fought with them! Dou Ding pulled me away and apologized to them. Then he said with regret, "Afeng, that girl, has been involved with the King of Zhongshan for a long time. At this point, I actually believed it completely."

"Brother, I believed him completely without even listening to Jiang Feng's explanation!"

"Before I came to Chang'an, I went to Youzhou on official business. Wen Yuanhe heard the news and invited me to drink. During the conversation, I learned that his parents forced him to marry the daughter of his father's superior, but he refused to marry and held out for several years! At that time, Afeng had received an imperial edict to make her the concubine of King Xue."

"But Wen Yuanhe said that the imperial edict has no meaning to him! Unless the marriage certificate is signed, three kowtows and nine bows are performed, and the couple enters the bridal chamber, he will never marry anyone else!"

"I used to look down on Wen Yuanhe because I thought he was cowardly and incompetent."

"Brother, I have always been the cowardly and incompetent one."

"If I were as determined as Wen Yuanhe, and Jiang Fei later married the prince, Grandmother Jiang would definitely agree to my marriage with Afeng!"

"But...but...I..."

Gao Hui finally couldn't continue.

Guan Shanyun also found it hard to express his bitterness, and could only say: "It was fate, it's not your fault!"

Gao Hui said: "But I blame myself and feel annoyed! So I came to Chang'an. No matter if she becomes a princess or marries Shen Guxing, no matter if she is in Chang'an or Luoyang, I will protect her!"

"Afeng, there is no need for you to make such sacrifices!" said Guan Shanyun.

"But I need it!" Gao Hui said excitedly.

Guan Shanyun finally fell silent.

Gao Hui added: "But even including Shen Guxing, among these people, I only envy you, big brother!"

Guan Shanyun naturally knew what Gao Hui was referring to.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If you were like me, you would be filled with regret and pain, not even a bit less!"

Dou Ding frowned, not understanding Guan Shanyun's hidden meaning.

This was the first time in years that Gao Hui expressed his inner distress, and he felt a lot more relieved.

He changed the subject very quickly and said, "The Princess of Ji'an will definitely not give up! Ah Feng, I'll leave it to you, big brother."

Guan Shanyun said: "It's not easy for you in Chang'an! Don't rush into anything!"

When the two of them talked about business, they put aside their worries and seriously planned their next itinerary and plans.

Day two.

Hawks and kites swooped and cried in the sky, circling and failing.

They all originally came from Liangzhou, where the people were simple and honest and everything was suitable.

But now, some people can go back, and some cannot.

They were laughing and joking, thinking that being together was a normal thing.

But now, although there is no separation in death, there is separation in life.

The young general on the tall horse is so majestic and powerful that he can command the support of hundreds of people!

Guan Shanyun, who is riding his horse westward, has his long robe flowing, and looks elegant and graceful!

Hate the sorrow of separation.

The desire to return home.

The clouds are like white bones, the sky is vast and boundless, you go to the Western Capital and I go to Qin!
