Changle Floating Life

Chapter 50 Luofu Mountain High Congealing Frost

Pei Zhan was fine during the Jiaosi rebellion, and he was fine during the rebellion in Yunzhou, and even the death of his two sons didn't make him shrink back.When all the dust settled, the emperor finally couldn't hold on anymore.

The illness came down like a mountain, and the emperor couldn't even get out of bed, so he had to order the prince to supervise the country.The first decree issued was to thoroughly investigate the Shi Qian case and the Jiangnan Salt Industry case.

In order to avoid suspicion, Zuo Fengmian was unable to contribute for a while, and Wu Xiaocun was escorting the princess from Yunzhou to the capital.When Pei Zhaoye was overwhelmed with work in Yanzuo Palace, he suddenly heard that Marquis Anning recovered from his illness and would come to see him.He repeatedly ordered people to come in, and took out a brocade box from under the table and put it at hand.

A dignified young man in black clothes and blue hat came out of the hall, his eyes were piercing and piercing.After he saluted, Pei Zhaoye came down from his superior position, took his hand and said, "You're thin, why don't you come back after resting for a few more days."

Ye Jianqing shook his head and said, "I'll come and see Your Highness, how can I help you." Pei Zhaoye invited him to sit down in the side hall, and said, "You can help me the most by taking care of yourself."

The two stood face to face as before.Ye Jianqing asked: "Mr. Wu is coming back soon." He is an important witness in Shi Qian's case, so naturally he can't stay out of it.Pei Zhaoye nodded, and suddenly apologized: "The case of Princess Zhenguo's Mansion still needs to be planned slowly."

Ye Jianqing smiled slightly and said, "I'm not here today to rush Your Highness." He paused here, took out a booklet from his sleeve, and put it on the low table: "I want to travel for a while. One or two years, three to five years..."

Realizing that he was saying goodbye seriously, Pei Zhaoye's face became gloomy.He stood up abruptly, walked back to the upper position with his hands behind his back, and said solemnly: "No!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Ye Jianqing and concentrated on reading the memorial.

Thick icicles had already formed under the verandahs outside the hall.The north wind roared outside, and the dripping water turned into ice, but inside the hall, warm earth dragons were burning, and dense incense sticks were burning.Ye Jianqing was always sitting in the side hall, resting his stomach on his hands, closing his eyes and listening to the rustling sound of papers being turned.

In a trance, I seem to see the princess grandma holding the young him, standing under the steps of Yanzuo Palace.That was the situation when the deposed prince Pei Jianye got married more than ten years ago.The princess said to him: "My descendants Lai Fu, Yanzuo has been extended to this day. It's a pity, this palace." Looking at the plaque of Yanzuo Palace, he asked in a childlike voice, "What do these two words mean?"

"It warns people that they have to think about their luck and repair their shortcomings." Princess Zhenguo said.

Ye Jianqing opened his eyes, and he dozed off unknowingly.The prince's imperial uniform was put on his body at some point, and Pei Zhaoye stared at him from behind the imperial case.He gathered his clothes on the back of the chair, walked to the front of the hall, knelt down, and kowtowed.

Pei Zhaoye panicked in his heart, and said, "Can't you spend a comfortable New Year with me?" You always leave like this, abandoning me, have you really thought about me?

Ye Jianqing smiled and said, "The whole world celebrates. Your Highness has feelings and responsibilities. He will definitely be loved by all people."

Whether those people love or hate, what does it matter to me?Pei Zhaoye was full of anger, and bluffed: "Ye Jianqing, Marquis of Anning, I won't allow you to leave the capital!"

Ye Jianqing shook his head gently as always, and walked out of the hall without saying a word.

Pei Zhaoye grabbed the brocade box on the table and threw it forcefully at the lotus floor tiles.The box rolled on the ground and opened automatically, revealing a cyan jade disc embedded under the velvet.

Not long after Marquis An Ning left, Eunuch Gao from Yanbo Hall came to declare the decree, and saw such a scene: the sky was cold and the sun was setting, the fragrance was thin and cold, and the prince was sitting alone on the ground, rubbing the jade disc in his hand.Pei Zhaoye instructed him to bring the tea that Ye Jianqing had used from the side hall.Eunuch Gao walked over and took a look: "Your Highness, the tea has been cold for a long time, this old slave will serve you a cup of hot tea." "No, drink it cold." Pei Zhaoye said angrily.

Eunuch Gao had no choice but to pick up the teacup, but found a booklet left by Ye Jianqing on the low table. He brought it over and showed it to Pei Zhaoye.

At first, Pei Zhaoye thought it was a farewell memorial, so he didn't care to read it, but when he got it in his hand, he realized that something was wrong.Wrapped in oiled paper is a booklet covered with gold leaf, which is exactly the same shape and size as the gold book Zongzhengsi has seen.After opening it, a small yellowed note floated out of it. He picked it up and looked at it, almost dumbfounded.

Osmanthus begets laurel, tung tree begets tung, the seed of wisdom begets sage, and the seed of idiot begets madness.

On his way north to Yunzhou, he made a detour to Yongcheng, Qingzhou, to visit the Patriarch of the Bai clan.He asked: "Is it true that there are no descendants in the Xuanwu lineage?" The old man replied: "I heard that only the descendants of King Qi Baiyanfeng lived among the people, maybe the bloodline has not been cut off."

Eunuch Gao stood aside, raised his white eyebrows slightly, and disappeared again.

"I'm leaving the palace."

Pei Zhaoye rushed all the way to Anninghou's mansion like a fire.There was a horse tied to the big tree in front of the mansion, and Lan Shan was distributing luggage to two servants, one of them sobbed, "Miss Lan, I don't need wages, so I can just watch the gate for Lord Hou right here? "Lanshan Qi Qiran said: "You better take it, I don't know when the young master will come back."

The two left reluctantly.Lan Shan sighed and turned around, Pei Zhaoye seemed to come out of the ground, which shocked her a lot. "Where's the Marquis of An Ning?" Pei Zhaoye said in a bad tone. "Let's go." Arashiyama shrugged. "Where did you go?" Pei Zhaoye asked. "The mountains are high and the waters are long, who knows?"

Ten continents high-level meeting, where can we find each other?

Pei Zhaoye seemed to accept his fate, but turned his gaze to her: "Didn't he take you with him? What are your plans?"

Lan Shan scratched his head, and simply said: "Where did you come from, go back to where."

Pei Zhaoye hesitated for a moment and asked, "You, would you like to enter the palace?"

"You're insane!" Xiao Lanshan jumped up, resisting the urge to slap him, and said coldly, "Either watch the river go against the flow with your hands tied, or be swayed by the hand of power, do you think we can only do both?" Do you want to choose? Just being flattened and rounded like this is not as good as life and death."

After saying these words, she jumped on the horse and rode away with a whip.In the rolling world of mortals, only Pei Zhaoye's enchanted figure remained.

By the long pavilion outside the north gate of the capital, a man and a horse are wandering.

Ye Jianqing was relieved to see Xiao Lanshan coming as promised, and there were no pursuers behind him.Lan Shan galloped up to him, reined in his horse, and said doubtfully: "The news from Qingshangguan said that the leader has gone to the south. Isn't it the opposite when we go north?" Ye Jianqing shook his head and said, "The leader and Gu Tingrang are together If you want to avoid being captured by the government, you can only tell the truth if it is false, and if it is false, it will be true."

"Then where did you say they went?"

Ye Jianqing pointed to the north, and said firmly: "I can only think of one place, and the leader will definitely go there."

Luofu Mountain, Lingxiao Palace, and the Pillow Tree.

The cavalry splashes snow, and the jet turns into fog.In the northern wilderness in winter, everything is frozen as hard as a coffin.Outside Youzhou City, a caravan is being inspected by Chengmen Lang.

Famine in the north, this is a team transporting rice from the south of the Yangtze River. After landing at the mouth of the canal, it was transported by land.

Chengmen Lang poked a halberd on each of the piles of gunny sacks, and when the sacks burst, the rice spilled all over the ground.The leader of the caravan watched from the side, his heart ached beyond measure, and he didn't dare to speak out to stop him.A servant who was tall and rough beside him couldn't help but said: "It's full of rice, so there's no room for people to hide. These grains of rice are for disaster relief, such a waste, how can we be worthy of the common people."

The gatekeeper of the city raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows immediately, and forced him to take a few steps back with his long halberd, and scolded: "The capital has decreed to chase down the imperial criminals. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Who can guarantee that he will not mix in the caravan? I see you It looks like a prisoner."

"You..." The servant blushed with anger.The team leader hurried over to start a fight, taking advantage of the spare time, quietly slipped a piece of silver into Chengmen Lang's hand.This time, Cheng Menlang turned his face faster than turning a book, curled his lips and said, "Go in."

The food team entered the city smoothly, but the two followers at the tail of the team quietly left the team.These two people are the leader and Gu Tingrang.After they left the capital city a month and a half ago, they first went south to Xuzhou, then went north by sea boat from Xuzhou, and after arriving at Liaodong seaport, they took the land route and mixed into the caravan outside Youzhou city.

The two planned to go north after replenishing supplies in Youzhou City, and their destination was the Luofu Mountains on the border of Youyun.

It's not like going south last year, hiding one by one and chasing after the other.Along the way, although the two didn't pay much attention to each other, they could tell that they were walking together.

In the inn in Youzhou City, Gu Su watched him pick out chopped green onions with chopsticks, and suddenly his heart was touched.When he was young, his mother Su Ying once told him that Xie Shi never ate scallions in noodles.Gu Tingrang was eating and found that the other party had stopped his chopsticks, so he couldn't help but look up at him.Gu Su asked: "Did Master Xie give your name?"

Gu Tingrang stirred up a ball of noodles and put them in his mouth, and said casually: "He said that the elder brother's surname is Gu, so let me take this surname too."

"..." Gu Su's scalp was numb, and he thought to himself, if you call my father a big brother, isn't his seniority higher than mine?

The two were eating noodles when they suddenly heard a discussion from upstairs: "This morning, rice from the south of the Yangtze River was transported to the city. The porridge factories in the east and west squares are distributing porridge." "Amitabha, it can be regarded as coming. This winter It will save a few people from starving to death." "It's all because the emperor appointed a new crown prince, and the new crown prince quelled the riots in Yunzhou. God has eyes."...

Pei Zhaoye put down the chaos first, and the Li Chu second, but these small people reversed the order, regardless of the truth.Sure enough, whoever has milk is a mother. Those who caress me will be the queen, and those who abuse me will have revenge.Ordinary people have no political stance to speak of.

Gu Tingrang snorted coldly after hearing this, and said: "Pei's family has made great achievements, abandoned virtue and despised the country, annexed the foundation of the Three Kingdoms to counter the speed and peril, and succeeded." Gu Su said: "Do you think the unification of the world is not good?" Gu Tingrang glanced at him and said: "The Three Kingdoms are competing with each other. It's a pity that Xiao Yu lacks the vision to observe the world and missed the best opportunity."

The Three Kingdoms competed and competed... Indeed, during the ten years of Cheng Shuyan's vigorous efforts, there were many heroes and good ministers, and the heroes lived their lives happily.There may be turmoil in the court, and the people seldom experience wars.Unlike now, there are many dry bones in the prosperous age, and the people's misery and sinking have nowhere to complain.

It's a pity for this person. If he was born in troubled times, he must be a genius who can shake the sky and earth like the king of Shu, Mencius.

Gu Su looked up at the sky: "Let's go, let's drive for a while before it snows."

Passing Youzhou to the north, most of the cities are dilapidated and the desert is boundless.After walking for a day, it really snowed heavily.In the bitterly cold place outside the Great Wall, even when there is sunshine at noon, there is little warmth.After walking for a few more days, I saw a little gray outline in front of me.

It took three full days from seeing the Luofu Mountains to reaching the foot of the mountain.The wind and snow are getting stronger, and there is a vast expanse of whiteness, and occasionally a few clusters of towering shrubs are exposed on the snow.

Gu Su pointed in one direction and said, "Look over there, that's where Lingxiao Palace is. Changle Jade Bi is lost, we have to climb up."

I saw a mountain peak standing like chopsticks among the mountains, reaching deep into the sky, almost as high as the sky.Gu Tingrang bared his teeth and smiled: "I thought the leader dragged me out of Dali Temple, and he didn't want to kill me anymore. It seems that I was thinking about it." He also climbed Luofu Mountain several times, but he gave up halfway. Feeling unwilling.

Without saying a word, Gu Su threw a white drill from his sleeve and said, "Tie it to your body, and I'll take you down the path." Gu Su's gait was as smooth as the moon, with no trace on the snow, and Gu Tingrang was slightly worse. But there is only the slight sound of "scraping" under the feet.A line of footprints in the snow behind the two of them went straight up the mountain.When it was noon, Gu Tingrang was restless and sweaty.Gu Su stopped and looked at him, as if saying in his eyes: Are you going to die?

Gu Tingrang wiped his sweat, gritted his teeth and stood up.The two walked for another half a day, and the wind got stronger the higher they went up the mountain, and the more they couldn't keep their eyes open.In the afternoon, a cliff appeared in front of the two of them.There is a valley sandwiched between the peaks on both sides, and the clouds and smoke below are lingering.Gu Su pointed to the bottom and said: "Jump down to the Lingxiao Palace."

"What?!" Gu Tingrang took half a step back, unbelievable.The strong wind mixed with snow flakes and ice beads hit the face.The mountains are covered with snow, so if he visits in summer, he may be interested in giving it a try.Now it is the coldest winter, if you jump down, you will not be smashed to pieces, or you will freeze to death and starve to death.

Gu Su smiled: "The place we are standing now is the place where Master Xie jumped off with my father in his arms."

In order to prevent Xie Shi's pursuit, Emperor Xuanwu Bai Yansheng deliberately created the illusion that Pei Qing jumped off the cliff.If it weren't for Xie Shi's jump back then, there wouldn't be Gu Su and Gu Tingrang today, and there wouldn't be so many entanglements.

Gu Tingrang untied Bai Lian from his waist, walked to the edge of the cliff, spread his arms, and fell straight into the clouds.The snow in the valley is not as big as imagined, but the mountains are so towering and windy that they cannot be seen clearly.Gu Tingrang pulled out his saber, and thrust it hard into the mountain wall.The rocks were scraped and screamed, and he clung to an old pine tree.The clouds under the feet were dense, and there was a gust of hot air directly blowing up, and there was a smell of sulfur in the wind.

When he was wondering, there was a person gliding down like a bird above his head, it was Gu Su who followed.Gu Tingrang took a deep breath, let go of his climbing arms, and continued to fall.Passing through layers of clouds and mist, he suddenly heard someone whistle below, and immediately became alert.

I only heard a few "cracks" below, and then Gu Tingrang also fell on a piece of soft "snow".Before he could react, the "snow field" collapsed, the branches passed by his face, and he fell to the lower layer of "snow field".This piece of "snow" could not support his weight, and he fell down again.After several times in a row, it finally fell on the thick dead branches and leaves.

Only then did Gu Tingrang dare to open his eyes, only to see dense pine branches above his head, and he was lying in a pine forest.It turned out that the soft "snow" was just the thick snow on the canopy of the big tree. He first fell on the canopy as a buffer, but the canopy couldn't bear it, so it fell onto the thick fallen leaves at the bottom of the tree.

"If you can still go, come quickly." Gu Su's voice came from the silent woods.Gu Tingrang's Tiantai acupoint on the top of his head suddenly hurt, his vision blurred and clear for a while, he struggled for a long time before sitting up.Picking up a dead branch as a crutch, he walked out of the woods slowly, and was stunned by the sight in front of him.

There is such a blessed place in the snow-capped mountains.Not far away is a large piece of water, braving the curling heat, the lake is full of green grass, and flowers bloom all the year round.On the grass, the branches and leaves of two big trees hug each other, forming a connected shape.

Looking at the sky again, on the towering cliffs, there is a majestic suspended temple. Among the clouds and mountains, there are faintly exposed cornices, bucket arches, green tiles and vermilion scorpions.

Excitedly, he threw away his crutches and ran under the big tree.Gu Su was standing under the tree, looking at several white stone tombs and wisps of Artemisia annua in front of him.Gu Su pointed to the smaller one and said, "The bones of Qing Jun are here."

Finally came to the end of the world where the bones are buried.

In Master Xie's heart, there is an enchanted place where love and hate, blood and tears are condensed.

Gu Tingrang stood in a daze for a while, then reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.He knelt on the ground and began digging with his bare hands beside him.Gu Su let him do it without saying a word.After digging the hole, he took out a palm-sized sealed porcelain bottle from his pocket, buried it in the ground, piled up the soil again, and pressed white stones on it.

Inside the vase must have been part of Xie Shi's remains.

After doing all this, Gu Tingrang kowtowed heavily in front of the two tombs.

Seeing him standing up with a sad face, Gu Su pointed to the thousands of eaves in the sky and said: "Since you have entered the sect of the Xueshan School, you must obey the orders of the head. Although you brought back the bones of Xie Shi from our sect, you did not It cannot offset the sins you have committed. As the head of the sect, I will clean up the sect today."

Gu Tingrang turned to him, and said indifferently: "Master, now I'm telling the truth, the poison of the young master..."

"There is no antidote. I know it." Gu Su nodded, looking at the eternal sky, the cliffs stand tall, his eyes are clearer than ice and snow: "You and I are fighting here, fighting with our lives. If you win, you will be a snow mountain Send the fifth-generation master to take good care of Jianqing and Lingxiao Palace for me."
