Treasures · Wrong appointment

After nightfall, the fire in the metallurgical furnace was extinguished.

Ye Fang thought it was still too hot inside the forging room, so she ran out again. When she looked up, she saw the sky full of stars and rivers, which was really charming. She felt that the view from the bottom was not wide enough, so she trotted all the way up the city wall.

Just going up the city wall, just after turning a corner, Ye Fangnian's eyes sharpened, and the person walking in front was not Shao Guang, so the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

"What a coincidence, you also come to see the stars?" Ye Fangnian asked.

Shao Guang was taken aback for a moment, and then replied somewhat dull, "Come on duty... just changed shift." After Ye Fangnian mentioned this, he looked up at the night sky, and then suddenly realized that he almost missed the beautiful scenery tonight.

"Then... are you going back to rest?"

Shao Guang shook his head and stood still beside the city wall, "No, I'll watch it with you."

Ye Fangnian then laughed happily, stretched her waist, and then leaned against the city wall, dragging her chin with the palm of her hand, looking up at the beautiful scenery with a comfortable expression.Shao Guang stood beside him, but he didn't look at the starry sky, but turned his head to look at Ye Fangnian's profile.The breeze brushed away the drooping hair, and when he saw the dreamlike sea of ​​stars reflected in Ye Fangnian's eyes, he felt that his eyes were tens of millions of times more beautiful than the beautiful scenery above his head.

If it wasn't during the war, there would almost be a delusion in my heart that I want to spend the rest of my life with him in such a peaceful environment.

Shao Guang gradually discovered this matter.

Then he coughed lightly again, looking for a topic jerkyly, wanting to start a conversation with Ye Fangnian, "Well, during the day, Ah Hong said nonsense that you would also come to fight as a general, don't take it seriously, he was joking."

"I know, Shao Hong is going to praise me to the sky." Ye Fangnian recalled Shao Hong's dancing and dancing, and laughed. After laughing, he frowned a little, thinking seriously, "I will definitely be a general." No, but I was thinking, maybe I can really go to the battlefield with you..."

Shao Guang hurriedly interrupted Ye Fangnian's words in a panic, "Don't, don't think about it! I won't let you go to the battlefield."

Ye Fangnian asked again, "Why not?"

"Because..." Shao Guang stammered for a while before he found an excuse, "Because if you go to the battlefield, our Shuofang Army will have no one to help take care of the weapons and supplies—"

"Send someone from the team called Hidden Sword Villa. I'm not the only good casting master in the villa."

"Or not."

"why?"

"It will hurt." Shao Guang opened his mouth and said.

"Who doesn't get hurt in a war? Didn't you get hurt too?"

Ye Fangnian suddenly felt that Shao Guang's words were a little funny, and stretched out her hand to slap Shao Guang's chest where he had been stabbed before, only to see Shao Guang's whole body froze, and he lowered his head and remained silent for a while.Seeing Shao Guang's reaction, Ye Fang thought that she had hit the sore spot with a heavy hand, and hurried over to check, frowning worriedly, "It's all right! Did I hit too hard? I'm sorry I didn't mean it! See how careless I am, I'm almost the same as Li Yang..."

"It's okay, it's okay, the injury has healed a long time ago, you think too much." Shao Guang raised his head, but turned around to face the direction outside the city. He didn't dare to look at Ye Fangnian, but his face was indeed blushing. layer.

Ye Fangnian looked suspiciously at Shao Guang's face, Shao Guang turned his head away, Ye Fangnian saw that Shao Guang was avoiding him, so she leaned forward and got closer.

Shao Guang was uneasy, so he quickly said something again, drawing Ye Fangnian's attention away from his face, "I remembered, Fangnian, I have a question to ask you."

"what is the matter?"

"Li Yang is you...?" Shao Guang opened his mouth cautiously, in the bottom of his heart he was afraid of offending Ye Fangnian.

"A friend I met more than three years ago!" Ye Fangnian answered without hesitation. After a while, she was puzzled by Shao Guang's reason for mentioning Li Yang, so she said to Shao Guang, "Why did you remember to ask Li Yang?"

Shao Guang scratched his head, bowed his head to Ye Fangnian, as if admitting his mistake, "I saw you walking close to him, and he often came to you when he was resting. Seeing you talking and laughing happily, I feel a little ……curious."

Rather than being curious, it is better to say that he cares, or cares.

"Oh——" Ye Fangnian bent down, tilted her head to capture Shao Guang's expression from below, and said, "Is this what senior brothers and the others call jealous?"

Shao Guang was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands to defend, "No! Master Fang Nian is thinking too much! Jealousy is for the person you admire, and I am for you—"

"What is it to me?" Ye Fangnian asked following Shao Guang's words, staring at Shao Guang even more without blinking.

"I'm……"

The more he opened his mouth, the more he lost his confidence. He could only let his voice be so low that it disappeared into the night, and let the silence spread, without further words.Shao Guang's mind was blank, and there was no answer.In other words, he didn't dare to think about the answer, nor did he dare to meet Ye Fangnian's gaze.

The lips that were slightly parted in anticipation froze for a moment, and then a chuckle sounded out.

Hearing Ye Fangnian's laughter, Shao Guang raised his head in doubt, only to see Ye Fangnian's fingers resting on his lips, his slender eyebrows slightly frowned, and his smiling eyes closed like crescent moons.

"I still think you are really interesting."

As Ye Fangnian said, she leaned against the city wall again, and when she opened her eyes, her eyes were full of tenderness like water.He looked out of the city, but his eyes couldn't see the end, as if he could pass through mountains and rivers.He slowly told the past, his voice was not as cheerful as usual, but it was quiet, like the night wind whispering in his ears.

"More than three years ago, the bandits rebelled in An'an. The news of the fall of Hebei quickly spread to the south of the Yangtze River. So I followed the people in the villa and went northward to find you."

He had never realized so clearly before that Ye Fangnian's feelings for him were so deep.

"As we approached the Eastern Capital, I heard from those fleeing that the Tiance Army would not be able to defend the Eastern Capital. I was terrified, but when I arrived at the Luoyang City, the Eastern Capital had already fallen, and I could only see corpses and blood-stained corpses. The battlefield, that scene, seems to be...hell on earth."

Shao Guang's eyes darkened, and he fell into silence.Ye Fangnian spoke plainly, but Shao Guang knew what kind of despair was hidden behind that plain tone.

"Some people also say that the Tiance Army was wiped out in that battle."

Ye Fangnian didn't witness that tragic fight with her own eyes, she just stood on the deserted wasteland and ran in a panic, but no matter how she shouted or how she searched, there was not even a trace of that person. traces.So he squatted down, digging through the wreckage with his hands like crazy, and rummaged through the corpses over and over again with his bloodshot eyes.

"Shao Guang—! Shao Guang!"

And all he could see were the dead.The dead Tiance Army.

Some are still staring at something with their eyes wide open, as if they still want to stand up and fight the traitors, as if they still want to guard the lonely city behind them with guns.

Some of them could no longer distinguish their faces. It was unclear whether they had been eaten by crows, or had been bitten by swords or smashed to pieces by falling rocks while fighting against the rebels.Only the rusty armor on his body could make people recognize the name of Tiance Mansion.

"Shao Guang..."

He walked all over the battlefield, no longer able to cry, and when he almost collapsed, a faint sound of breathing came to his ears.

"I found Li Yang on the battlefield. He was covered in blood, dying there, but he was alive."

Ye Fangnian sighed lightly, no longer recalling the battlefield, but hid the heaviness in her words, and continued to preach, "I rescued Li Yang, and after his injury improved, we got in touch." People from the Tang army. Some people said that you were dead before, but I didn’t believe it. Li Yang told me that Tiance’s army was not completely wiped out, so I believed you were still alive. Ask around for news about you."

Going around and chasing you, it doesn't matter if you forget the ten-year agreement, I just want to make sure that you are still alive.That's all, that's enough.

"Shao Guang." He called the other party's name tremblingly, and took another breath to calm down the turmoil in his heart. "I have missed you for seven years, and I have been looking for you for three years."

He turned his head, looked at Shao Guang, and then smiled.The warmth that came along with it, together with that clear voice, was deeply engraved in my heart, and could never be wiped away.

"So stop saying that you are not the Shao Guang I am looking for, I won't believe it."

His throat was dry and he couldn't say anything in response.All I can do is reach out and embrace the person in front of me, hoping that the tenderness of this moment can share the pain the other person has suffered.

The moment Ye Fangnian heard the other person's heartbeat at such a close distance through Yinjia, Ye Fangnian's mind went blank for a moment. He was dazed, but felt at ease like never before.It seems that without any words, I can already melt all the emotions I want to convey in the embrace.

Ye Fangnian just didn't understand why the corners of her eyes were sore and sore even though she was so happy.

"Brother—are you there? Have you seen Master Fangnian? Oh my mother."

Shao Hong had just climbed up the city wall, but he never expected that he would bump into those two people. After a burst of embarrassment, he quickly covered his entire face with both hands, turned his back and stood a step away, even the letter in his hand I didn't even have time to put it away, and stuck a piece on my face.

"I didn't see anything!" Shao Hong added in a muffled voice.

When Shao Guang saw Shao Hong coming, he hurriedly let go of Ye Fangnian, and both of them coughed dryly twice at the same time.

"Well, you two...do you want me to avoid it?" Shao Hong spread his fingers to reveal one eye.

"Don't avoid it!" Ye Fangnian quickly waved her hand and asked Shao Hong, "What do you want from me? The metallurgical furnace needs to light a fire?"

Shao Hong saw that there was nothing he shouldn't read, so he dared to move his hand away, walked forward, and handed the letter in his hand to Ye Fangnian, "Oh, there is a letter from Master Fangnian, probably the person who hid the sword sent."

Ye Fangnian took the envelope, and by the light of the brazier beside her, she saw that a piece of wax engraved with the word "To" was added to the seal, so she immediately tore open the envelope to read.

"What did the letter say?" Shao Guang asked.

Ye Fangnian raised her head and explained, "My cousin sent a batch of supplies to Hulao Pass, but due to the Spike Army entrenched in Hulao and the lack of manpower in the team, it is difficult to send them to Heyang immediately. I'll go get it."

The matter was urgent, Ye Fangnian reported back to her superiors, and after getting the approval, she set off in the early morning of the next day. Due to the inconvenience of a large number of people, the superiors ordered Shao Guang to bring four experts to escort Ye Fangnian.

A group of people avoided the place where the Spike Army gathered, took the mountain forest instead of the official road, and rode fast to the boundary outside Hulao Pass, but at dusk the next day, Ye Fangnian released the carrier pigeon, and the group chased the carrier pigeon again. Direction, and immediately found the temporary camp set up by the Tibetan Sword Villa at the foot of the mountain.

Ye Fangnian, Shao Guang and others jumped off their horses one after another, and a young man who was dressed similar to Ye Fangnian but looked older than Ye Fangnian came out of the camp.Ye Fangnian happily called "Cousin", and the other party nodded, and saluted several members of the Shuofang army, saying, "Everyone, the journey has been hard."

The young man led some of them into the camp. Shao Guang saw that several disciples of Tibetan swords in the camp were injured, and roughly guessed what happened.The young man also explained to them, "We were waiting to escort the supplies, but we were attacked by the Spike Army on the road. After a hard fight, we managed to save the supplies. Unfortunately, there were many wounded in the team, and we really couldn't tell the manpower to send the supplies to the Tang army. The military camp, so I had to rest here, pass on the book and read it."

Ye Fangnian patted her chest as a guarantee, "Cousin, don't worry, we will send the supplies back to Shuofang Army in good condition. Everyone can rest assured."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, Fang Nian." The young man smiled, then turned around, faced several members of the Shuofang Army, and suggested, "It's just that it's getting late now, and the mountain road is rough and inconvenient to transport supplies. If you don't like it, you can stay here overnight, and leave tomorrow morning?"

After thinking about it for a while, Shao Guang thought that what the other party said was reasonable, so he asked someone to write a letter back to Heyang, and agreed to the young man, "Thank you sir for taking care of me, then I will stop here to bother you."

Ye Fangnian was also relieved, and after the itinerary was settled, she chatted with the young man about the family.He couldn't wait to hold Shao Guang's arm, pulled him forward, and smiled at the young man, "By the way, cousin, this is the one I was looking for earlier."

The young man looked at Shao Guang, and Shao Guang secretly glanced at Ye Fangnian, recalling what happened on the city wall the day before yesterday, he swept away the thoughts of denial and hesitation from his mind, responded, and introduced to the young man, " From Huaihua Division of the Shuofang Army, his surname is Shao and his name is Guang."

"Ye Fangzhi from the Hidden Sword Villa is Fang Nian's cousin according to his seniority. I am grateful for the little general who has taken care of Fang Nian during this period of time." Apart from the necessary greetings, Ye Fangzhi looked at Shao Guang with a gaze that was astonishing. It hides something profound, and seems to have other intentions.

"Senior speaks seriously, and within the scope of his duties, he must serve."

late at night.

Seeing that Ye Fangnian was fast asleep, Shao Guang got up lightly and left the tent. As expected, Ye Fangzhi was waiting for him outside.Shao Guang stepped forward, his voice lower than usual, for fear of waking up Ye Fangnian in the tent.

"Senior." He called out.

"I knew you would come." Ye Fangzhi turned her head and raised the corner of her mouth slightly at him, with a hint of helplessness in her smile.

Shao Guang said, "Senior, it seemed that he still had something to say in the evening."

Ye Fangzhi nodded, Shao Guang would come to him now, which also confirmed what he thought in his heart. "Let me get straight to the point. Although it's just my guess, you are not the Shao Guang that Fang Nian is looking for."
