Chapter 88
This journey was surprisingly smooth, but the more it went like this, the more I worried about my second brother's safety in Chen Country.
After traveling overnight for about five days, we finally arrived at Licheng in the early morning of the sixth day.
Almost the moment I got out of the carriage, I was shocked by the scenery in front of me, so those memories came overwhelmingly... Memories of living with my mother when I was a child, life in the East Palace when I was young... Memories are too overwhelming. mixed...
Right now, not just me, almost everyone is shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of 's proposal is so blue that there is no trace of impurities. Against the backdrop of the majestic snow-capped mountains and the endless green, it is as beautiful as a fairyland on just don't know where my mother is now.
Xiao Baozi suddenly said: "Wow, only such a beautiful place can raise such a beautiful mother!"
Little Eleven flattered and said: "The ancients said that it is not true, good mountains and good waters raise beautiful people, and our princess is a living example!"
The Crown Princess deeply agrees with this view.
Perhaps it was because the temperature was a little low, Baozi was just about to rush to the flowers not far away, when he suddenly touched his reddened nose and sneezed.
I blamed him for being naughty, and while adding clothes to him, I listened to him sniffling his nose and asking the master master likes Ali very much, and answers all getting dressed, the master took Ahli's little hand and said with emotion: "What's the point of fighting for power all day long? I think it's better to come to this beautiful mountain and river and have more children." Planting a few trees will make me happy at leisure!"
The little bun smiled and said: "Mother, what about you and father!"
Xiao Shishi: "Perhaps the princess already has a little grandson in her belly!"
Little Baozi said happily: "Really? Ahri wants a sister!"
I:"……"
A group of people said to each other, and the depressed atmosphere when they were on the road was finally swept away.
However, since the parting, my second brother has not sent a message. Although my brows have eased, my heart is so heavy that I can hardly , after entering the city and settling down in an inn, I took Little Eleven out to inquire about thought that there would be no big movements for the time being, but unexpectedly, everyone in the streets and alleys was talking about the alliance between Xi Yu and the Jin Kingdom, and the army was going all the way like a broken bamboo, and it was about to approach the imperial capital of the Chen Kingdom.
It turned out that we had just left Chen Guo that day, and the second elder brother also embarked on the road to the imperial at this time, a large number of chickens, ducks, cattle and horses suddenly ravaged the towns on the border of Chen State overnight, and these diseased animals quickly spread the disease to the villagers and the generals guarding the city, and the entire border defense line collapsed instantly, so Xi Yu's army captured several cities one after another without any effort.
As a result, drastic changes took place in the country of Chen. The prince was not effective in supervising the country, and was infected with the plague on the way to the imperial the officials asked for an order to abolish the prince and re-establish the third prince as the , the queen announced a shocking news at this time. The first prince who had died in the fief had turned into the new prince. The two missing soldier symbols were finally found by the third prince. An army of one million resisted Xiyu's aggression.
If Little Eleven hadn't woken me up, I would have been unable to recover for a long time.
Xiao Shiyi's face was pale, but he still said firmly: "Master will definitely be fine, all of this must be within his plan."
"Second brother promised me to wait for him, so he will be fine."
On the way back to the inn, I repeated this sentence over and over even though the streets were bustling with people hawking and making I saw a stall selling chickens and ducks on the corner of the street, I suddenly remembered the chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep that Li Jiuxiao asked me to feed myself when I was in the mountain outside Hezhou, Wu Guo. Could it be that batch?
If it was that batch, then everything was planned from then on at all!He used me to let the second brother put down his guard, because I had been in contact with those chickens and ducks, which proved that those chickens and ducks were the end, those chickens and ducks were transported to the border of Chen State in batches through normal channels, and were either sold or pinpointed the timing and waited for the disease seeds in the chickens and ducks to this period, a small group of chickens and ducks fell ill, causing a small-scale epidemic, which was the time when the second brother sent people to solve the epidemic.
And that time was just a precursor, the real outbreak was to pave the way for war.
Until now, I was surprised to find that everyone I have come into contact with came with a secret, and I can use others at any time to achieve my goal. Unexpectedly, I stumbled all the way, and I always see it through at the end.
If, since then, he had already planned everything, then how could the second brother be unprepared?
At this moment, my brain became clear, and I finally understood what the second brother was doing!
After I figured it out, I was very excited, and I shook Little Eleven directly on the street, and Little Eleven covered his chest with a pale face: "Mother, Crown Princess, what are you going to do?"
I slapped him on the forehead: "What else can I do to you?"
Xiao Shixi laughed: "The princess was still frowning just now, why did she suddenly become enlightened?"
I slowly curled up the corner of my mouth: "Let's go, go shopping for vegetables. It's new here, so Baozi may not be able to adapt to the eating habits here."
Mostly I saw that Xiaoshi and I were wearing foreign costumes, and our accents were a little different. The local people were very enthusiastic, but they were eager to introduce me to the local are a lot of cattle and sheep in Licheng, so the residents here eat more beef and mutton, and they mostly use the methods of frying, grilling, rinsing, roasting, sauce, grilling, and steaming, such as roasted whole lamb, large plate chicken, naan meat, and hand-caught lamb. And so on are the authentic food here.
I bought big and small bags, and we didn't stop until Shidu had nowhere to hang them.
After returning to the inn, I asked Eleven to share all these things, and I took two plates of baked buns and a roast leg of lamb to find Master and Ah Li. gave us goat was holding his chin and listening to the master tell about the legendary past of the Feng clan, he was fascinated by it, I have been here for a long time, but he didn't notice.
It wasn't until I touched his forehead that he realized that I was coming, and he yelled crisply: "Mother!"
"Let's go eat!" After sending Baozi away, I whispered to Master: "Master, I finally figured it out. There are internal and external troubles, and the second brother wants to use external troubles to eliminate internal troubles first. The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits! So He will just let the Queen and his party sit on the throne! No, smallpox! Could it be that the second brother is treating these patients at the border now? So he is also infected?" Based on my understanding of the second brother, he will not just watch him die The people are suffering in dire straits!
Master glanced at me: "You are really stupid than the beasts in Tianshan."
"Divine beast?"
Little Baozi's cheeks were bulging with stuffed buns: "Mother, why don't you even know this, that is the patron saint of the Feng clan!"
Master shook his head: "You don't know your second brother well enough. If he is not fully prepared, he will definitely not go to the imperial mausoleum at ease. Otherwise, have you ever thought that once Chen Guo's army retreats steadily, it will be easy to lure wolves into the house, but it will be difficult to drive wolves out of the city." It's not that simple anymore. So I guess, after he buries his father and queen, he will definitely go to a place, and it is true that he will pass by the border during the period."
"Where is it bound to go?"
"The Buddha said, it cannot be said."
"..."
"Mother, will father come to see you?"
This is absolutely impossible, not to mention that Chen Guo has a schedule of five or six days away from here, and the battle report ahead is critical, how could the second brother be able to escape?And my trip will make my second brother have no worries, and secondly, after I find my mother, I may be able to put an end to those past events.
After staying in Licheng for about three days, after purchasing the materials needed to go up the mountain, Master took our group on the road to Tianshan.
At the foot of Tianshan Mountain in late spring, it is unbelievably the entrance, there are mountain flowers everywhere, such as red wild peonies, golden tulips, and light pink wild apricot course, there is endless cattle and sheep are scattered in the grassland under the coniferous forest and eating wild flowers. Not far away are the blue lake, white tents and rising towards the top of the mountain, there is still snow on the top of the mountain. Under the sunlight, it is crystal clear and full of infinite reverie.
Ari trotted all the way on his short legs, and occasionally picked a flower or two, he came up playful, and refused to him laughing, the master narrowed his eyes as well: "Speaking of which, the people of the Feng clan have always lived in the depths of the Tianshan Mountains outside the city, where the snow is boundless. If there are no clansmen to guide the way, outsiders will easily get lost. Frozen to death or starved to death in the depths of the mountain. For so many years, all those who coveted the "soul tracing" entered Tianshan, and almost none survived, except Ye Qiyan. And why he was able to find it smoothly back then is still a mystery. .”
After the master finished speaking, the group felt incredible, but they also took it for granted.
I was the only one who swallowed silently without expressing any opinion.
Because, I know, that's no mystery.
In my memory, the first time I saw my second brother was not in the battle in Licheng, but on this snow-capped mountain.
Ever since I was born, after my father evaded many pursuits and brought me back to the Zhou Kingdom, he did not raise me in the clan, but fostered me in an ordinary family in every Qingming Festival, the clan will send people to pick me up the that time, I always thought that the worship activities on that day were just for the good fortune, happiness and well-being of the people in Licheng, so that for eight years, I didn't know that it was my biological father who I worshiped.
When I was eight years old, on Ching Ming Festival, I went up the mountain to worship as usual, and was sent down the mountain the next day.
The Ching Ming Festival in Licheng is not deserted, the spring scenery is picturesque, and the mountains can't be humming nursery rhymes, I picked flowers of various colors, and occasionally chased the that age, I had no idea that there would be a purple-clothed boy like Ye Qiyan in this world who had the appearance of a celestial being but also had a ruthless heart.
So, when he patted me on the shoulder, when I looked back, maybe everything was preordained.
The mountain was full of flowers, and it was not as good as he stood in the bushes and smiled, although the corners of his mouth were only slightly raised.
He asked me to take him up the mountain. He said that his father was in the hands of the Feng family on the mountain. He had not seen his father for 17 nodded in a daze, biting my handkerchief silently in my heart, this look is too damn dangerous, it can instantly kill thousands of young people from road must be taken!
Facts have proved that with a knife on Sezi's head, my ancestors sincerely did not deceive me.
The road up the mountain, the further back, the snow has just melted, and it becomes more and more times, I almost fell down, but he stood next to me without any intention of reaching out for help. His eyes were always cold and unwavering, like an old well, and he couldn't see to the couldn't help complaining: "Brother, don't you have a sister?"
He cast a puzzled look, I flattened my mouth and sighed, rubbed my red hands, buried my head and continued to crawl suddenly squatted down, and said two words not gently: "Come up."
"Fuck you?"
"..."
"I just made a slip of the tongue!"
"..."
I was not a hypocritical child since I was a child, and I didn't understand the reason why men and women are different, so I lay on the ground with almost no boy's shoulders are very broad and warm. This is the first time since I grew up that I have been in such intimate contact with a boy. I have all kinds of feelings in my heart. There are astringent and inexplicable feelings, but more of them are not. Understanding and curiosity, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance to ask, because I fell asleep.
For him, I am so at ease and trust him, probably even he didn't expect it.
It was dark when I woke up and he didn't wake me up, just kept going so far that he ended up getting lost.
At night in the Tianshan Mountains, the temperature was tens of degrees below zero. Fortunately, we found the cave in time.
He was wearing a fire bag, and with the fire to dispel the cold, it wasn't particularly cold at night, but he was very hungry.
I asked, "Why didn't my brother wake me up in time?"
He said he couldn't bear it.
I moved slightly in my heart and continued to ask, "Why can't brother bear it?"
"The sleeping face is too ugly, I can't bear to look directly at it."
Damn, what a slut, I really brought shame on myself.
Every time I talked to him, he would drive me half to death, so I simply found a corner to sleep in. I felt warm at first, but in the second half of the night, I couldn't stand the a daze, I almost didn't even think about it, so I carefully moved to his side and burrowed into his even thinking about it, he picked up my clothes and made a gesture to throw me out.
I think the expression on my face must be extremely wronged, so his hand stopped in that moment, his eyes were extremely complicated. They were originally a pair of eyes so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off them. The flickering light made me murmur: "It's just a lifetime to exchange your eyes. It's worth it too."
That night, he didn't throw me out after all, probably because he saw me too I curled up into a little ball and nestled against his next day, he said with emotion: "It seems that I slept with a little wolf dog all night."
I was so angry that I was grinding my teeth, but the young man with clear eyes and cold eyes smiled brightly.
Perhaps the wind was so strong that it blinded the eyes, and there was fog in the distance. In the fog, the boy's appearance was so blurred, yet so clear.
Just when my thoughts were flying wildly, I felt something grabbed my finger, and when I looked down, it was Baozi with his little head up: "Mother, is it because you miss your father?"
