Beyond the Great Wall

Winter has come completely, and the bitter wind and snow are like the skirt of winter, shaking and covering the mountains and rivers, leaving the plains all over the ground.The resplendent glazed tiles of the past are eclipsed at this time, but the crisp birdsong and the budding wintersweet have a special charm.

Shen Wancong finally finished approving the memorial with the assistance of Jiang Cha and Hand Furnace, but it was almost midnight.Min Wan has been busy coming and going for a long time, and fell asleep on his side.It was quite warm in the room, and he wasn't worried that he would get sick.Shen Wancong saw him sleeping peacefully, so he didn't wake him up, and slipped to the Meiting alone while the snow stopped.

The plum pavilion is said to be a pavilion, but it is actually a large garden filled with various plum trees, and even a few exquisite pavilions.It was named "Mei Ting" just for the sake of rhyme and the occasion.Come down first to see that there are no red and white plum blossoms in bloom, but the wintersweet has bulged flower buds.

In fact, Shen Wancong didn't have any destination to go, so he swayed slowly in the garden, and when he swayed enough, he wanted to go back, but he couldn't find the way he came.He was a little anxious, because it seemed that the snow had started to fall again, and every part of the garden seemed to look exactly the same, only the plum trees planted were different.But now the plum blossoms are not in bloom, and the plum trees seem to be exactly the same...

He followed his memory, but it didn't seem to work at all.When he thought there was a pavilion in front of him, there were jagged rocks in front of him; when he thought that there should be a red ribbon tied by a naughty maid on the branch of the plum tree on the left, there appeared under the plum tree on the right, which looked like a red ribbon. The dilapidated kite that has been missing for a long time, and the tree on the left is still covered with snow... Shen Wancong is completely at a loss, is he going to freeze to death here!

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the clothes on his body were becoming more and more unable to block the intrusion of the cold.His hair was soaked by the snow little by little, and his hands were red from the cold. He regretted that he came here quietly by himself, and it would not be like this if he stayed in the house obediently.Suddenly, he saw a pavilion appearing in front of him, which seemed to be lit by fire.Surprised and delighted in his heart, he ran there.

There was indeed someone, but why was that person Meng Che? "Cough..." Shen Wancong was stunned, the warm stove was tempting him, "Why is General Meng here?" He stared at the stove, if Meng Che wasn't there, he would have rushed up.

"If the last general is not here," Meng Che looked at him in a state of distress, raised his eyebrows and said, "The emperor will not be able to go back tonight." He moved the stove towards Shen Wancong, and Shen Wancong's current situation It looked like a poor squirrel that just climbed up after falling into the water and struggling for a long time... He looked at Shen Wancong's bright eyes and thought so.

I know I know, I'm really cold!Shen Wancong roared in his heart, finally he didn't maintain his good image, and ran to the stove in a hurry, stretched out his frozen red hands to warm him up.The warmth brought by the fire satisfied him so much that he almost forgot that there was Meng Che beside him.

"Wan Cong is so excited tonight, came to Meiting alone?" Meng Cheqing's cold voice exploded above his head, he was startled and trembled three times.

"Isn't it the same for you, Archer? You came here alone..." He smiled dryly, "It's just that you have more things than me..." His gaze swept to the long knife beside Meng Che, and he repaired it. One sentence, "Oh, you are here to practice..." He thought for a while, and then said, "As expected of a majestic general..." He sneezed as he spoke, probably because he had just caught a cold .

Shen Wancong blinked, as if something was covered on his head, and only after he touched it did he realize that it was a handkerchief. "Wipe your hair quickly, or you will get sick." Meng Che's voice sounded again, "I can't touch your head like I did when I was a child."

"Oh..." Shen Wancong reluctantly moved his hand away from the stove.His hair was dripping, so he had to rub it bit by bit.It should be when I was about to dry off, a cup of tea appeared in front of my eyes, and Meng Che said from behind: "It's ginger tea, I drank it to dispel the cold."

He still wore the handkerchief, and stretched out his hands to take it: "Thank you." The tea was a little hot, and he took a sip carefully: "Why does it seem to be different from the one cooked in Minwan..."

"Minwan may have put some brown sugar or something according to your taste." Meng Che looked at his soft hair, "I don't have that." He raised his eyes to look outside the pavilion, "It's snowing heavily, it seems that the Stay here a little longer."

Shen Wancong Yiyan also looked up, held the tea to warm his hands, and said softly: "It's fine to stay in the pavilion... It's just a pity that the Suxinmei trees that are just blooming, I don't know if the snow is heavy. It won’t break its branches.” He looked at the white snow outside, thinking that there was still that person by his side, and gradually felt at ease.

Stay with you and see all the wintersweet covered by snow.I have been looking forward to this scene for more than three years.

When Shen Wancong returned to Yinpu Palace, the night was already dark, and Minwan was still asleep in the room.He quietly changed his wet clothes, and when he walked into the desk, he saw a letter with no money on it, pressed under the inkstone.

He pulled out the letter and opened it to read it, then frowned tightly as he looked at it——

"General Meng Chemeng of the Shaohua Mansion, there has been something different recently..." Why is there something different, he is obviously very normal, and he sent me back just now.

"There are often unknown people walking around in the mansion, especially in the middle of the night..." Maybe not, maybe it's a new friend he made.

"Recently, it has been extremely rampant, and it seems to be in the state of rebellion..." What an extremely rampant, what a state of rebellion!

"Holy Majesty, please pay attention to this person so as to protect my Dashuo imperial power and protect my Dashuo country!" He is a general I have known since childhood, will he abandon me Dashuo, will he hurt me Dashuo?He clearly said "serving for Dashuo", he clearly said that he would make Tangzhi Cake to pay homage to his mother and concubine, he clearly still remembered Wanqing and the first emperor...

But why every word punishes the heart.

Shen Wancong tore up the letter and threw it into the stove.In an instant, the pieces of paper turned into ashes, and white smoke intertwined and lingered in the air.

"Archer..." Shen Wancong murmured, "Some people say that you have rebellious behavior... Tell me, are they right or you?..."

"They say 30 years in Hedong and Hexi, but you've only been away for three years. Isn't it 30 years yet..."

I have only been separated from you for three years. Could it be that you have gone to a place that I can no longer find? Could it be that your relationship with me is only half a circle...

No sleep for one night.
