Ten years without a return

General?who? "

"Hey, look at my memory. I probably don't know that you are from a foreign country." The man lowered his voice, "This refers to General Tao Qifeng."

"How to say?"

"Back then, the Tao family was a family of generals for generations. It was so beautiful. There was a young man named Hu Qifeng. He was very alert since he was a child, and his arrow skills were superb. He was even more talented in formation, especially his appearance. Tsk, It's really a frivolous peach blossom, every time he goes out to hunt in the city, when he returns to the city, there will be many girls waiting along the street, just to take a look at him."

"really?"

"Why did I lie to you? When I was young, I used to stay with my elder sister in the attic. At that time, the circle around the window was full of ladies from various families... Speaking of which, I have to say that General Tao and The story of Miss Li's family is a beautiful one."

The person next to him became interested, "Let's listen to it."

"That little general Tao is favored by thousands of people, and his vision is naturally high. Seeing that at the age of marriage, a wealthy family with a daughter in Beijing went to spy on them openly and secretly, and his nose was ashamed. Unexpectedly, Li Miss Jia actually won his heart with a beet peach, and General Tao personally came to propose marriage, making all the ladies of the big family envious."

"Tsk tsk, it's really unexpected."

"The more surprising thing is yet to come, that Miss Li family actually refused! The ladies breathed a sigh of relief while biting the handkerchief, but I don't know what trick Little General Tao used, and then he agreed, and the two families quickly settled down." Engaged in-laws, at that time the whole capital was really miserable, but Miss Li was both talented and beautiful, and everyone thought they were a good match, so in the end they began to look forward to their wedding."

Hearing this, I laughed silently, and praised silently: "Heroes and beauties are really good stories."

The listener over there was puzzled: "Why haven't I heard of such a legendary story?"

The man sighed heavily, looked around, and seeing no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and continued: "This will involve an unjust case nearly 40 years ago, and the Tao family almost mastered the big one back then. Xuan half of the soldiers and horses will inevitably attract people's envy. On the surface, others dare not do anything to them, but secretly they are doing their best to carry out their dirty deeds. Once the Tao family sent troops to defend against the enemy, and when the battle was in full swing, they were framed and blamed. It is said that they are collaborating with the enemy in exchange for military power and power, the situation in the government and the opposition is one-sided, and all the officials insist that the Tao family has a heart of disobedience, and some people have produced evidence, so the label of collaborating with the enemy has been put on."

He stopped, and another person hurriedly urged him: "Don't drink water, what happened next?"

"Later, the Tao family has always been loyal and brave. How could they be willing to be accused of treason? At that time, the imperial court no longer gave them backup, and even sent imperial envoys to escort them back to Beijing, but before they arrived, the Tao family was full of people. Zhonglie has already shed blood on the battlefield, proving his innocence by dying."

"What!" the man yelled angrily.

"Hey, keep your voice down! The emperor has issued a clear order not to discuss this matter."

I was also in the same mood as that person, with more sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox, and I unconsciously clenched the teacup in my hand.

"Then what happened to Miss Li's family?"

"Alas..." The speaker sighed long, with regret in his voice, "Since ancient times, beauties have always had bad lives, and Ms. Li has lost her lover, and she doesn't want to believe that he will treason, and she is depressed all day long. , but her family members seemed to be afraid of affecting the family, and stated in sad words that they had been cheated before engaging in the engagement, and soon engaged her in another marriage. Ms. Li fell seriously ill in grief. I hanged myself in the room, wearing a wedding gown, and wrote the last words: The love of my heart has no destiny in this life, and it will continue in the next life..."

Others sighed and said: "What a beautiful couple, those who hear it will cry and those who see it will be sad."

I felt a little strange, and frowned. I had never been in love for many years, but I was also moved by their stories, and my heart felt inexplicably sore, like soaked in a bag of acid water, numb, and tight.

"But then I heard a secret thing."

"Speak quickly!"

"It is said that General Tao did not die. He came back on the day of Miss Li's funeral, but he was so embarrassed that he might as well have died. He lost his martial arts and was blind in one eye. He begged for Miss Li's body. The Li family Hate him, and say that as long as he makes them break a leg..."

I can no longer listen to the voice behind. When I heard this description, I was struck by lightning and almost knocked over the teacup in my hand. It seemed that the barrier in my heart was suddenly torn away. why.

He taught me to read, taught me how to practice martial arts, and knew the secrets of the court.

I have never explored why there are so many obvious incongruities in him, but occasionally I feel inexplicably from his gestures that he should be like this.

And that peach pit that was burning hot in my heart, crookedly engraved with the words "Tao Shangqing"...

I left the tea house in a daze, and it was still going on there.

"Then who was the one who overturned the Tao family's case in the end?"

"It is the father of the current prime minister, the previous prime minister He Lingcheng."

"Wait." Someone said mysteriously: "The current General Tao is also surnamed Tao, could it be..."

"No, my family is a merchant, and the news has always been well-informed. Besides, it is just a rumor that General Tao is not dead. Besides, do you think those smart people in the court will allow such a thing to happen?"

08

I'm not depressed, I just understand the relief in his eyes before he passed away, and I feel more indifferent in my heart than I ever had before. I practice martial arts and read books in the mansion every day, occasionally deal with people who come to visit, and go out for a stroll in my spare time , the days can be regarded as relaxed and comfortable.

Until that news came...

Princess Anping committed suicide before the wedding. In Yuqiu, one party's suicide before the wedding is a curse on the other. The old king of Yuqiu was so angry that he vomited blood and died that night. Wumo lost his father and was furious.

When the news reached the capital, Yuqiu's 50 troops had already reached the border, and everyone seemed to realize that this was a series of tricks by Yuqiu. Like a rooster that has lost a fight, he listlessly does not speak.

The emperor was even older than before, exuding the dead breath of a dying person, he coughed and coughed, his face was flushed abnormally, and he was unusually energetic.

"What should I do now, is there any way for you, the Aiqing?"

Everyone was silent.

"Prime Minister, you have the best way. If you say it, I will listen to you."

He Qinzhi rolled up his sleeves in embarrassment, bent over and said, "I don't have any for the time being."

The emperor got off the dragon chair irritably, walked back and forth impatiently, and cursed endlessly: "If I knew she was useless, I would send it to someone else..." After finishing speaking, he There seemed to be a sudden inspiration, and hope burst out in his eyes: "Ai Qing, you said it would be good if I sent another daughter?"

Everyone was silent again.

There was the sound of porcelain shattering on the ground, and the foreheads of those who were close were scratched by the scattered pieces of porcelain. The emperor gasped and said angrily, "Why are you all dumb? Don't you usually talk very well?"

I sighed inwardly, took a step forward, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Your Majesty, I wish to go."

Hearing that the anger on his face dissipated suddenly, he turned around to welcome me, he bent down to help me up, and narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Get up, Aiqing, I know the general is the most loyal, I will order troops for you immediately, Let's go as soon as possible."

It was already cold winter when I arrived at the border, and the bone-piercing cold was pervasive like fine cotton needles, entwined around my body, and there was nowhere to escape.

The battle became more and more tense, and I was ambushed by the enemy more than once, but the hot blood in my heart was boiling in my body, supporting me to break through the siege again and again.

This time, I met Umo.

He was riding on a horse, his brows brimming with imminence, he wore a snow-colored fox fur around his neck, and greeted me with a smile.

"General, long time no see."

I reined in the horse, wiped the blood that had frozen into ice crystals on my cheek, and said coldly, "What a coincidence."

He meant something: "Has the general seen it? This is your country."

I sneered: "So what?"

"The general really doesn't think about it?"

"Ha, what are you thinking about?"

"General, you need to know that if Daxuan returns to Yuqiu, the people of Daxuan will also be my people, and they can still live normally."

"What kind of joke is the king talking about? How do you know that the people of my Daxuan will not become Yuqiu's slaves at that time? As for the life of Yuqiu's slaves, the king should know better than me."

Wu Mo frowned in distress, but he was not annoyed when I touched the painful spot. With a smile in his eyes, he spread his hands and said, "Okay." Then he waved his hands behind him, "Attack."

This battle was particularly tragic. The number of people I brought was less than half of his. I waved my sword numbly. The warm blood sprayed on my face. Bing Jing, I have no time to take care of him. After successfully breaking through, I realized that Feng Lin was missing from my side.

I grabbed one person and asked, "Have you seen Vice General Feng?"

He shook his head anxiously: "No..."

I asked around, but no one saw him, I held back the pain in my heart, and said: "Yu Jun is about to catch up, let's retreat quickly..."

I soon saw Feng Lin, who had been soaked in blood as shown in the picture, covered in red ice crystals, and was wrapped in cloth by Yuqiu's soldiers and sent over.

I watched him silently. Over the years, people around me left one by one, and the unfamiliar faces changed one after another before they were familiar enough. I buried him in silence, and went back to the tent to calmly start the layout, as if nothing was going on. Never happened.

The enemy is strong and we are weak, this time we were chased and fled by the pursuers, and we drove our horses across the ice.
