Ten years without a return

Only the study remains. "

I nodded: "Thank you." Then I turned and left.

In the study room, Feng Lin lit the lamp, and there was a faint smell of calligraphy and ink in the room. If there was more medicinal smell, it would be the same as the smell on that person back then. He ordered the soldiers to clean up carefully, and he walked to the chess table , stretched out his hand to caress the black lacquer tablet, his fingertips paused on the word Xuanqing.

The general said that the military division is his second division commander, but he is also his best friend. Since the military division passed away, he has always carried his spiritual tablet. In his spare time, he will always discuss tactics with him, or chat with him Military affairs.

On the second day, I summoned my subordinates to explain the rest of the matter, and then returned to the General's Mansion. The things to bring back to Beijing were ready, and the carriage stopped in front of the gate.

Feng Lin led the horse to look at me and said, "General, everything is ready."

"Ah."

My horse Liusha saw me and snorted excitedly. I walked over and stroked its head gently. It rubbed against me affectionately, snorting on my face. It was itchy, and I couldn't help smiling. "Liusha, come back to Beijing with me. I will match you with a beautiful filly. It's time for you to start a family."

"Then when will you start a family, General?" Feng Lin asked suddenly.

"Huh?" I looked up at him suspiciously, and Feng Lin would ask this kind of question, I smiled, blinked and said: "Didn't you go back to Beijing? For a person like me, why not marry a wife?"

Feng Lin also laughed.

A chuckle sounded behind us, I turned my head, and Umo was standing not far behind us, with a smile in his eyes, he said, "Didn't I bother you?"

I suppressed my smile and said, "I don't know what's the matter with King Yuqiu?"

"The general, please take a step to speak."

"it is good."

Eunuch Li behind Wu Mo took a small step forward, but stopped for some reason. I saw a bruise on his forehead, so I turned my attention to Du Yan.

Du Yan looked at him contemptuously, raised his eyebrows, and said, "It's none of my business, he fell it himself, if you don't believe me, ask him."

"Yes... our family." Eunuch Li gritted his teeth and said.

I know Du Yan's temperament very well. This Eunuch Li is so domineering. Du Yan must have made him suffer. Even if he retaliates in the future, I will bear it. Use some infamous means?

Wu Mo and I walked to a place where no one was around. He looked at me and said mysteriously: "The general wants to know what your emperor and I talked about?"

I looked at the smile on the corner of his mouth and said in cooperation: "What?"

The arc of Wu Mo's mouth widened and widened: "For marriage, I only threatened Chen Bing with 30 yuan, and your superior promised to marry a princess into Yuqiu..." He glanced sideways, with sarcasm, "Take another There are ten cities on the border, and I heard that the envoys for peace are already on their way to my Yuqiu."

I clenched my fists without any trace, without any expression on my face, "So what?"

He narrowed his eyes with a smile, as if he was very satisfied with my reaction, he looked at me like a hunter, and said, "I appreciate the general very much."

I chuckled lightly: "Thank you."

Wu Mo took a step closer to me, lowered his voice, and said bewitchingly, "The general is very clear about Daxuan's situation. Even so, will the general still guard it?"

I pretended not to understand, and lazily raised my eyelids to look at him: "What does Your Majesty mean?"

"It's better to vote for me, Yuqiu. I can guarantee that you will make great achievements, general. How about being under one person?"

I laughed and asked back: "What merits and deeds have you made in betraying the country and the Way?"

Turning to lower his voice, his eyes were cold: "The merit I want to achieve is that one day other countries will no longer invade our rivers and mountains, and the karma I want to establish is that the people will no longer suffer from displacement and slaughter. It is not my long-cherished wish to be alone, I just hope When you get old, a small field and a shabby room are enough to keep you hungry."

"Your Majesty's invitation, I'm afraid I will be hard-pressed to obey even if I die."

Wu Mo lowered his eyes, and when he looked up again, his eyes were full of interest, as if he was waiting for a long-awaited drama, and he smiled even more: "Sure enough, I didn't misread the general, the king... just wait and see .”

*****

The road back to Beijing is long, and I was walking on the road with a small number of personal guards. Eunuch Li said that he wanted to return to the capital quickly to report to the emperor, and that he would not go on the same path as us. I'm afraid that we will attack him, seeing how cowardly he is, we may not be able to tell who will arrive first.

Du Yan was left in the frontier fortress by me, with his temper, how could he live happily outside the fortress in the man-eating Beijing?

Halfway through the journey, the weather became gloomy and cold. Probably because we were used to staying outside the Great Wall and were not used to the humid weather inside, most of the team fell ill for a while.

I rode on the horse in a dizzy state, and seeing an additional village in front of me, I said softly, "Let's take a rest here tonight, and see if there is a village doctor, so it won't be too serious."

"Yes."

Feng Lin acted quickly, divided the people into several groups, and scattered them among several families next to each other.

He and I pretended to be a passing businessman, and we stayed at a farmhouse. We only said that we were late after the delivery and stayed with them for the night.

The man in charge of the house was dark-skinned, and hurriedly pushed back the money we paid him. I saw that the curtain in the back room was lifted a crack, and there were two eyes from the inside, probably his family members.

I had a terrible headache, so I just pushed the money into his arms, and said: "Just accept it, my team has suffered from a cold, and I will ask you to find a doctor for us tomorrow."

He agreed repeatedly, with a simple and honest smile on his face, rubbing his hands unconsciously, saying let us wait, and he will let his mother-in-law cook for us.

His wife served us food, a woman with low eyebrows, who would occasionally look up at us, and came to clean up after we finished eating, without saying a word the whole time.

The meals were simple but plentiful, and we hadn't eaten hot food for a long time, and this meal was satisfying.

In the early morning of the second day, the man brought two people over. The leader was an old man, followed by a woman with her head down, carrying a box in her hand.

I called the team members one by one for consultation. It was nearly noon after the consultation. The two said goodbye to us. I don’t know if it was an illusion. When I glanced at it, I almost knocked over the wooden box in my hand.

Although I didn't understand it, I didn't take it to heart. I asked the farmer to help cook the medicine. It was rare for me to have a loose day. After drinking the medicine, I fell asleep.

I had a complicated dream, there was an old man in the dream, he looked at me, his black eyes contained emotions that I couldn't understand, and later, I saw Xuanqing and Dongzi, their lips kept moving It moved, as if trying to tell me something, but I couldn't hear anything.

After waking up, I felt my head hurt even more. I rested my forehead on my hand, and heard voices coming from outside.

I opened the door, and Feng Lin was standing outside, talking to someone.

"What's the matter?" I just woke up with a hoarse voice.

Feng Lin turned around, and we saw that Wanxin standing in front of him, her eyes lit up indistinctly when she saw me coming out.

I was taken aback and asked, "Miss, what's the matter?"

She was a little nervous, as if she had something to say, she pursed her lips and glanced at Feng Lin.

I nodded to Feng Lin, and he retreated knowingly.

Today's weather is damp and cold, and there is only one table and two benches in the yard. I invited her to sit down, brought some hot tea from the room, and poured out my apologies: "It's cold today, I neglected the girl. What do you want to say?"

She took the tea from me, holding the teacup in both hands, hesitated for a while, and opened her mouth softly: "You...do you remember me?"

I didn't react for a while, and frowned slightly: "Girl?"

Seeing my reaction, she lowered her eyes in frustration, her eyelashes trembled, and said, "You really don't remember."

I understand, but I really don't remember her, besides, I have been in the frontier for many years, it is absolutely impossible to see her.

I thought about it, and said, "Miss, have you seen me?"

She raised her eyes, and there was water in her eyes. Where did I seem to have seen such eyes?

She twisted her sleeves, bit her lower lip and said, "I... I am Taoer."

"Peach?" I repeated, and a picture flashed in my mind. I remembered that it was the girl who picked my peaches when I was young. similarities.

I laughed and suddenly said: "So it's you, I don't want the little girl back then to be so beautiful now."

She covered her mouth with an embarrassed smile, and said, "I went back to look for you, but your room was already empty."

"Well, I always have to go out to ask for a living."

I chatted with her casually for a while, knowing that she and her family left the original place a few years ago, and the original village is basically empty now.

She took out a medicine bag, and there was a small black mole on the back of her white hand, and said warmly: "I saw that you have severe typhoid fever, so I brought some more medicine, and took it separately from the morning one, and you will recover soon. Relieve some discomfort."

I took the medicine, thanked her solemnly, and was about to send her out, but she turned around suddenly, met my gaze and turned away immediately, and said like a mosquito, "I owed you a promise back then, and now I still pay it. "

She seemed to have made up her mind, and her expression was a little excited: "I have a sister. I met someone when I was young, but I still can't forget her after waiting for many years. Listening to her words, she is very similar to you. I don't know what you... how?"

I thought about it for a while before I remembered what that promise meant, and I couldn't help laughing, feeling a little warm in my heart.But I live a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife, and there are still unknown dangers waiting ahead, so how can I implicate others.

I had no choice but to bow to her and said: "Miss' kindness is appreciated, but to be honest, I already have someone I like, and I'm afraid I will disappoint the girl's kindness."

She raised her head suddenly and said, "What if my sister doesn't care about status?"

I shake my head lightly
