Broken stones, ruined walls, broken swords, defeated armor, Dana, the most prosperous king capital in Mobei in the past, is now in a mess of wars.
Moss clouds grow long, residual smoke curls up, and the sun and moon are dark.
Looking around from the ancient roads in the outskirts of the city, there are corpses strewn everywhere, broken stones and dead trees, sad wind blowing everywhere, the willow wind blowing not cold, mixed with sand and dust from the desert, blurring the outline of the sky, bringing a bit of deep desolation .
Dressed in light clothes and galloping on horses, with bright sword armor, Ye Tianling and Wan Qi Shuofeng rode into the city together, one was solemn and calm, the other talked and laughed freely, the tragic battles around him were out of sight, and the indifference that had been used to killing and killing had already penetrated into the bone marrow, no matter how much Life and death are nothing more than flowers blooming and withering in an instant.
Qing Chen quietly walked beside Ye Tianling, silent all the way.
The entire city of Dana was extremely desolate under the wind and sand all over the sky, and the bloody atmosphere permeated every inch of it, like an undercurrent rolled up in the dead deep sea, quietly covering people. Under the semi-darkness of the smoke, the Turkic people lying on the cold ground by the roadside at the corner of the wall were lying on the cold ground as if they were asleep. You could almost see the eyebrows laughing and cursing, but they were silent and silent again.
The sky is high and the earth is far away, and life is like a realm of death. It is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
Before the camp, Qing Chen got off his horse, stopped and turned around. The wind quietly cast a slight melancholy on her brows, but the sadness floating in her clear Jianshui eyes became more and more intense.
Ye Tianling had already walked a few steps, but when he realized that Qing Chen hadn't followed, he turned to look for her. I saw her standing there supporting Yun Cheng, her slender figure looked a little sad and exhausted in the wind, he reached out his arm to hold her: "What's wrong?"
Qing Chen was silent for a moment, looked up at him, and said slowly: "Fourth Brother, I don't want to see Wan Qi Shuo Feng slaughter the city again."
Ye Tianling's eyes were like cold stars, and the clear light penetrated into her silent eyes. Later, he raised his hand to brush her hair that was blown up by the breeze, and said, "Okay, I see."
Qing Chen smiled slightly, a little tired. She looked over Ye Tianling's shoulders, looked at the vast and silent desert, and said softly: "If you do nothing to kill evil, you will lose your life. The lives of this city are actually lost in my hands."
Ye Tianling frowned slightly: "Don't think about it, I'll send you to rest first."
He sent Qing Chen to the camp, and walked to the handsome tent alone, thinking of what Qing Chen had just said, he felt inexplicably depressed.
"Your Highness!" Ming Zhi came to find him, "Is the princess resting?"
"Yeah," Ye Tianling nodded, "Is there something wrong?"
Mingzhi took out a secret letter and handed it over: "A few days ago, the princess ordered us to secretly track down Shao Xiubing and others in Tiandu, and now there are some clues."
Ye Tianling opened the secret letter and raised his eyes to glance at it, his eyes flashed darkly, and sneered: "Collude with salt merchants, and use the pretext of military supply to traffic in private salt, you are quite courageous." He handed the secret letter back to Ming Zhi , but said: "There is no need to tell the princess about these things."
Mingzhi was puzzled for a moment: "What if the princess asks?"
Ye Tianling walked forward with her hands behind her back: "If she asks, she will say that I will order Chu Yuanjing and others to jointly write a letter of impeachment, and we will see the result in a few days." They are not enough weight, things are easy to expose, and it takes some effort to bring down these valve nobles. He pondered for a while, and then said to Ming Zhi: "Tell Mr. Mo, ask him to visit Chang Dinghou, inform him of this, and then try to get Qin Guogong to get the evidence in your hands."
The old and hot Marquis Chang Ding has a straightforward nature and is jealous of evil. Once he learns about this matter, he will never sit idly by. As for Qin Guogong, he had a deep grievance with Shao Xiubing because of old affairs in the early years. If he was given such an opportunity, how could he ignore it
Ming Zhi wrote them down one by one, and said: "It's just that Gong Sicheng can't catch anything at all now."
Ye Tianling sneered coldly: "Gong Sicheng? He acted cautiously and did not leak water, but unfortunately his son did not live up to it. The past few years are just the Yin family's comprehensive protection, and this matter is not enough."
Mingzhi knew that Ye Tianling had plans, so he didn't say much, just smiled: "Then the princess will not have to worry about it."
"Well," Ye Tianling responded lightly: "In the future, you can directly answer me about this kind of thing, and you don't need to disturb her."
Mingzhi bent down to answer, couldn't help smiling secretly, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I met Huang Wenshang just now, and he said that we don't need so much musk and sandalwood in the future. The princess told me not to use it in medicine."
Ye Tianling stopped and turned around, asking, "Why?"
Mingzhi said: "I'm not very clear either."
"Hmm..." Ye Tianling frowned slightly, looking far away, thoughtful.
The two were talking, Wan Tuo Shuofeng strode over, full of murderous intent, saw Ye Tianling and said, "I captured Mu Chisha alive! Hmph! It's not that you want to live, I will take his life!"
Ye Tianling turned around and swept over him, and said with a faint smile, "What, did you suffer?"
Wan Tushuofeng frowned and snorted coldly: "As expected of being the number one Turkic warrior, his hands are really strong. If he hadn't been poisoned by the poisonous smoke, he might not have been captured alive. Now he will not bow his head, and is yelling in front of him. You can figure it out!"
"Look and go." Ye Tianling walked forward, then suddenly turned his head and said to Ming Zhi: "Let Huang Wenshang come to see me in the tent later."
In the middle of the huge school yard, Mu Chinsha was tied behind his back to a thick wooden post.
This person has a mighty figure and a dark face. Although the battle robe on his body is bloody and messy, it does not damage his sturdy aura. At this time, his beard and hair are all splayed because of anger, making him look like a ghost and a violent fire.
His hands and feet were bound, and he shouted curses to show his anger. The soldiers around him couldn't understand Turkic, so even if they knew that he was swearing, they didn't know very well. Wan Tu Shuofeng's face was livid, and he pressed the handle of the knife involuntarily. He couldn't bear it anymore. The murderous intent in his deep eyes was cold, and he was about to attack when he saw it.
Ye Tianling heard that Mu Chisha's words were full of angrily accusing Wanqi Shuofeng of betraying the Turks. No wonder Wanqi Shuofeng was so angry. He turned his head and said, "Nangong Jing and the others must have been waiting in the handsome tent, you go first."
Knowing his good intentions, Wan Tuo Shuofeng suppressed the anger in his heart, raised his hands and bowed, and walked away without saying a word.
Ye Tianling walked into the school field slowly. Mu Chisha was scolding vigorously when he suddenly saw someone walking towards him. His clothes were like snow and his expression was like ice. Those seemingly indifferent eyes locked on him coldly, which made him There was a feeling of being pierced by a sharp arrow, he was taken aback for a moment, and stopped the words as they came to his lips.
Ye Tianling stood still in front of him, and said softly, "Are you Mu Chisha?"
Although Mu Chinsha had never met Ye Tianling face to face before, he could guess his identity by looking at his charming demeanor. Seeing that he could speak Turkic, he said loudly: "I am Mu Chinsha! You use It is not a hero to capture me by insidious means! We Turks look down on this kind of person the most!"
He originally expected that Ye Tianling would be furious, but Ye Tianling's icy lips curled into a smile, "That's right, what you said makes sense, even if I kill you like this, you won't be convinced."
Mu Chinsha's eyes were wide open, staring at Ye Tianling: "Of course I don't accept it!"
"Okay," Ye Tianling waved his hand: "Untie him, and return the weapon to him."
Xuanjia's guard outside the arena responded to his orders, drew his sword and cut off the rope behind Mu Chinsha, afterward someone brought Mu Chinsha's scimitar.
Mu Chinsha took over the weapon, still confused by Ye Tianling's move.
Ye Tianling looked at the sky, Momo Yunsha, and after a while, he turned around and told the guards: "Bring the silver gun."
Xuanjia's bodyguard understood and left quickly. After a while, he brought a silver spear with snow tassels and presented it respectfully. Ye Tianling raised his hand to take it, the cool gun shaft in his hand was as smooth as jade, vaguely reflecting a familiar smile, the slightly sharp edge, like the light piercing through the clouds, full of pride and spirit.
Tall and straight as a pine, vigorous as frost.
His hand slowly stroked the silver spear, and where the strength penetrated, the silver spear sank inch by inch into the ground at his feet. He let go of his hand, stood facing the wooden chin Shazhuo, and said coldly: "If you win this silver gun, you can come and go as you please, but if you die under the gun, you can only blame yourself for being incompetent. This king will definitely let you I am convinced to die."
Mu Chinsha has been through the battlefield for a long time, and he is even more invincible in the Turkic kingdom. He doesn't care about fighting with weapons, and with his scimitar half horizontal, he shouted: "Come on!"
Ye Tianling said proudly: "You have not regained your vitality, I will let you do three tricks. After the three tricks, you can ask for blessings." After saying that, he stood calmly with his hands behind his back, and the breeze blew, making the corners of his clothes flutter, and a wave of Lingyun Domineering has slowly spread.
Mu Chinsha got the chance to survive, and he couldn't let it go, he shouted loudly, the blade was like lightning, and with the momentum of thunder, he slashed at Ye Tianling head-on.
With vigor rushing to his face, Ye Tianling took a strange step with his hands behind his hands, a white shadow dazzled his eyes for a moment, and Mu Zhisha's astonishing slash completely missed.
Mu Chisha is worthy of being a master of martial arts, but he didn't turn his body back, didn't turn his head, and went away with the saber backhand, and the second move came again.
But seeing Ye Tianling leaning forward and passing by in a flash of light and flint, the knife light suddenly drifted back, floating as if in a courtyard.
Mu Chinsha had already been aroused by Ye Tianling, holding the knife in both hands, there was the sound of wind and thunder rolling under the knife, like ten thousand horses galloping, and lightning flashes intersected, turning into a long arc, slashing horizontally.
The wind of the knife was fierce, and Ye Tianling followed the agreement of three moves, only defending but not attacking. The two people passed by each other in the arena, Mu Chin Sha's blade was swift and fierce, and only heard a soft "chuck", it actually cut a long mark on Ye Tianling's lapel!
Ye Tianling's eyes flickered, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Okay!"
Three strokes have passed! Ye Tianling suddenly slapped out with one hand, turning his palm into a blade, and suddenly attacked Mu Chinsha's chest.
Mu Zhisha was caught off guard and was forced to take half a step back. But then he yelled fiercely, unfolded the saber momentum, opened and closed wide with a strong wind, the mighty force was irresistible.
The Xuanjia guards around couldn't help applauding, such a saber technique is fierce and unparalleled, which is rare.
Ye Tian volleyed against the enemy with his hands in the air, with a carefree attitude. Under the opponent's liver-piercing knife wind, he was not in a hurry, advancing and retreating freely.
The strong wind roared under the wooden chin sand knife, blowing sand and rocks around and hitting people's eyes. Ye Tianling's figure is like a flat boat chasing the waves, swaying with the trend, always standing proudly on the cusp of the storm.
Its body is like water, water benefits all things without fighting, invisible but ubiquitous, unintentional but invincible.
Mu Chinsha's swift and fierce saber technique consumes a lot of internal energy, and it is a taboo to fight with opponents. He failed to touch Ye Tianling's body skills after several times of attack, and after a long time, he couldn't help feeling impetuous.
At this moment, Ye Tianling's whole body suddenly seemed to be rolled up into a huge vortex, like his cold and deep eyes, everything close to him was swallowed up.
Mu Zhi Sha Xin screamed that it was not good, but it was too late, Ye Tianling's originally boundless energy turned soft into strength, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth, and the extinction struck.
It was as if Mu Chinsha's saber hit a solid city wall, the strength of the two sides intersected, and Mu Chinsha took a big step back.
The dragon soared into the sky, and the silver spear started, and following Ye Tianling's clear whistle, a white rainbow pierced the sky, filled the sky with yellow sand, and broke through the clouds and cleared the fog.
The bright sunlight shone down from the sky, dyeing the white clothes all over, Ye Tianling raised his head slightly, the golden light was dazzling, it was a sore burning pain.
The wooden chinsha machete fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and stepping backwards. He suddenly pulled out the silver spear that had pierced through his belly with his backhand, and said with a long laugh, "Happy! Happy!"
Blood arrows sprayed across the front of the body, and the soldiers watching the battle all around were shocked.
Ye Tianling's eyes turned slightly, and he said slowly: "Good sword skills, great courage!" He turned his head, Mu Chinsha's body was shaking, and he threw himself to the ground, dying in sight.
Ye Tianling looked indifferent, but there was imperceptible regret in the depths of his eyes, and he ordered softly: "Send Huang Wenshang to see if there is still hope."
After a while, Huang Wenshang hurried over, leaned over to check, shook his head and said: "Your Highness, the injury is too serious, it is difficult to treat it."
Ye Tianling waved his hand lightly, signaling the Xuanjia guards to lift Mu Chinsha down, but he heard a soft voice say: "Wait a minute, there is still help."
He turned around and saw Qing Chen walking slowly from behind the crowd. She lowered her head and looked at Mu Chinsha's body bleeding all over the ground, then looked up at Ye Tianling again: "You want to save him?"
Ye Tianling saw a mixture of indifference and pity in her eyes, like hatred but not hatred, sorrow but not sorrow, and there was softness behind Qingli.
Like a dead leaf, gently pressing on the heart, the murderous aura under the shadow of the knife light and blood just now quietly faded away, Ye Tianling said: "No need."
Qing Chen stared at him for a moment, then suddenly sighed softly, turned his head and said, "Huang Wenshang, help me."
Huang Wenshang responded and stepped forward.
Mu Chisha seemed to see a pair of clear and meaningful eyes silently watching him while he was half-drowsy. The untainted brightness was like the blue sky in the Mobei grassland, the beautiful jade-like lake water, the wind blowing and the grass low, and the cattle The sheep are like white clouds, and the fragrance of wild flowers in the endless field flows quietly in the most distant dream.
Those eyes left him, the scene in front of him was gradually blurred, the pain came from all directions, and the darkness was boundless.
The bloodstains bloomed into coquettish flowers between the white jade-like fingers, the calm brows and eyes were light, and the indifferent lips were slightly pursed. The soldiers of the three armies surrounded the school field far away, not even a sound.
She couldn't save such a serious injury in the past. Today, after thinking about it a thousand times, trying a thousand times, exhausting all her thoughts and efforts, and tossing and turning for so many nights, she can't save the life of the person she cherishes. The medical skills she got in exchange were used by mistake on the person she hated to the bone.
This person's arrow took away the man who laughed, drank and sang with her. In the blue sky and the yellow spring, don't participate in the business, the wine is empty, the strings are empty, the mountains are destroyed, and the flowing water dies.
Confidant and confidante, accompanied by two shadows, smiling proudly at the sky, if the sky is affectionate, she will be lonely from now on.
However, she is a doctor, and in front of a real doctor, she will never die.
Each is their master, life and death are different.
After an unknown amount of time, Qing Chen breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said to Huang Wenshang, "Apply the medicine carefully, and send it to you to take care of it. If you wake up tomorrow, your life can be saved."
Huang Wenshang hurriedly took the medicine from Qing Chen's hand, and the guards had already offered it with water. Qing Chen will turn around and clean his hands. It was not a good thing to focus on the wounded just now. At this moment, he relaxes. He only feels the bloody breath in front of his eyes is particularly pungent, and feels uncomfortable in his chest. He raises his hand and splashes his face with clean water, closes his eyes slightly, and trims his eyebrow Frown.
Ye Tianling was watching Huang Wenshang's medication, but turned his head inadvertently, and suddenly found that Qing Chen's face was extremely pale. He was slightly surprised, and asked in a low voice, "Qing'er?"
Unexpectedly, Qing Chen didn't seem to hear his voice, turned around in a hurry, and walked quickly to the outside of the school grounds.
Ye Tianling felt something was wrong, and then followed, but saw that Qing Chen almost ran for a few steps before leaving the school grounds, he held onto a tree by the roadside and vomited.
Ye Tianling hurried forward to support her: "Qing'er, what's wrong?"
Qing Chen spit it out for a while, feeling a little relieved, but his stomach still felt uncomfortable, and he said softly: "It's okay... the smell of blood is too strong."
Ye Tianling frowned, and when she was better, he carefully picked her up and called Huang Wenshang to camp.
Qing Chen was afraid of being bumped into by others in the camp like this, so he said, "I'll go by myself, you don't need to call Huang Wenshang, I'm fine." But Ye Tianling stared back: "You still say you're fine?"
Qing Chen was weak and couldn't break free, so he could only lean on his arms resignedly, and said in a low voice: "It's all right, I know better than Huang Wen."
Ye Tianling ignored her, just said "don't speak", and carried her into the camp. Huang Wenshang has already rushed to follow, and went forward to ask for pulse.
Ye Tianling watched from the side, saw that he examined his right hand and asked for his left hand, his brows were filled with uneasiness, and was about to ask, Huang Wenshang bowed and smiled, "Congratulations, Your Highness, my concubine, this is a happy pulse."
When the words came out, Ye Tianling was taken aback for a moment, Huang Wenshang thought he was pleasantly surprised, but his face suddenly sank, and he turned to look at Qing Chen.
Qing Chen leaned on the couch with his eyes half closed, and smiled weakly at him.
Ye Tianling stared at her for a moment, then asked Huang Wenshang, "How is the situation?"
Huang Wenshang noticed that there was a change in his complexion, and replied cautiously: "The princess has been pregnant for more than two months. According to the officials, the princess is weak and has always been afraid of fatigue. She needs to take care of herself at this time."
Ye Tianling said after listening, "Go down."
Huang Wenshang backed out, and Qing Chen felt strange seeing Ye Tianling sitting aside and not speaking, and said softly, "Fourth brother?"
Ye Tianling turned his head when he heard the words, the corners of his lips were pursed coldly as usual, but he suppressed his anger. Qing Chen was surprised: "What's wrong with you? You're really fine."
It's okay if you don't say this, Ye Tianling got up when he heard this, and said angrily: "You are hiding such a big thing from me? After more than two months, you have traveled thousands of miles with the army. It's okay, what if something happens? You don't care about your children, and you don't care about yourself?"
He was so angry, it was really unexpected, Qing Chen was not feeling well, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable. He raised his eyebrows and wanted to refute him, but he just said "You..." The breath in his chest was disordered, and he couldn't help coughing . "You go out." She was also annoyed.
Ye Tianling was stunned. When he entered the court and went out to battle, the people he met were respectful and fearful, how many people dared to order him in such a tone? It was originally adding fuel to the flames, but before he could react, he saw Qing Chen covering his lips and leaning against the couch, the pale background on his face turned bright red due to frequent coughing, his black eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and there was a gleam in his eyes that was soft and soft Empty, lovely and pitiful.
He subconsciously stepped forward to support her. Qing Chen coughed hard, and the nausea that had just subsided came back again, and he was so sad that he didn't want to talk. Ye Tianling handles the affairs of the court with ease, leading troops to fight fearlessly, but at this moment he is really in a hurry, he is clearly shocked and angry, but he feels sorry for his wife. Cun, just lightly stroked Qing Chen's back, hoping that she would feel better.
After a while, Qing Chen seemed to have regained his strength. Ye Tianling's clear and cold aura still carried the spring chill in the breeze, like ice water just melting, and the fresh smell of mountains and forests, which made her feel that discomfort gradually faded away. His steady arm was behind her back, as if to bring warm strength to her, allowing her to lean on with confidence.
She closed her eyes and nestled in his arms, and he raised his hand to take the teacup, "Is it better?"
Qing Chen's dense eyelashes were raised, and he turned sideways in anger, Ye Tianling was helpless, but still had a cold face, and asked her, "Did I say something wrong?"
Qing Chen didn't answer, Ye Tianling had never seen her lose her temper like this before, it was extremely strange, and said: "You have kept it from me for so long, but you are justified."
Qing Chen turned around and raised his eyes, and replied: "You didn't ask, how can I hide it from you?"
Ye Tianling said: "I haven't seen you for many days, who should I ask?"
Qing Chen said: "You don't want to see him yourself, so why blame me?"
Ye Tianling was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "I didn't see you, I'm angry that you didn't admit your mistake."
Qing Chen raised his eyebrows lightly, a little aggressively: "What's wrong with me, you annoy me so much?"
There was sullen anger in Ye Tianling's eyes, and he lowered his brows coldly: "You are right now, why don't you make me angry? Did you think that day, what would happen if that sword couldn't be stopped? You used your body to block me If you compare your heart to your heart and stab me with a sword from your hand, how do you feel in your heart?"
He tightened his hands, and Qing Chen was pulled into his arms for a few minutes. She didn't expect to hear these words, and raised her eyes quietly, only to see his solemn and cold expression, which looked calm but couldn't hide the slight chill , I'm really annoyed. She bit her thin lips lightly, it was troublesome, but there was a softness in her heart, warm and sweet.
Seeing her silent for a long time, Ye Tianling lowered his head. Qing Chen lowered his eyes suddenly, couldn't help it, and looked at him quietly from under his eyelashes. Ye Tianling looked at her without speaking, as stable as Mount Tai, but his eyes were not easy to relax. If you don't block it, have you never thought about the consequences? If you really got stabbed, what should you do?"
What if she doesn't block that sword
Ye Tianling raised his head slightly, his eyes fell on the open space in front of him. In the quiet room, there are a few birdsongs, and the spring light shines gradually through the green branches and half-spread bamboo curtains, just like the Taisho Palace in the spring of March.
Those were brothers who used to study and practice martial arts together. They used to study chess and games, gamble with books and splash ink.
I also fight, I gamble, and I don’t accept it, but every year I spend my time on Yuhu Lake, where the sky is blue, the green shadows are green, the peach blossoms are drunk, the wine is full of joy, and the long songs are played, and the moon shadow streams.
I haven't seen the lotus flowers in Xianyu Lake for many years, but now the Quhu is flowing to the east wind, the old people in the old place, the empty cups are broken, and the years are fleeting.
What if she doesn't block that sword? Can he really stab it? Ye Tianling looked down at his hand and laughed dumbfoundedly. The stillness in his eyes was very light and light, silent, drifting in that smile, like a light feather dripping into water, drifting away without a trace. At that time, only a comparable opponent could afford the feeling at that time, and he only thought of the seventh brother alone.
A strand of black hair flowed from Qing Chen's hair and entangled with his fingertips, he gently pulled her hair up: "Qing'er, you don't have to do anything for me, you don't even have to think about those things, as long as you are by my side .”
Qing Chen looked at him tenderly: "We share weal and woe, so how can we call it husband and wife?"
Ye Tianling smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Stay with me and trust me, that's enough."
Her face was reflected in his eyes, she looked at him, leaned her head on his chest, and said with a smile: "You have done everything, so what should I do?"
Ye Tianling chuckled, "You, take good care of my son."
Qing Chen's phoenix eyes turned lightly: "Who says it's a son, can't it be a daughter?"
There was doting tenderness in Ye Tianling's ice-cold eyes, and he said, "Okay, daughter, if you say it's a daughter, it's a daughter."
Qing Chen couldn't help laughing, and suddenly rubbed his stomach and frowned. Ye Tianling looked at him nervously, his eyes full of questions. Qing Chen had a bitter face, but raised his eyelashes pretty: "I feel... hungry!"
Ye Tianling was stunned, then smiled and picked her up from the couch, and strode out: "There are no snacks in Qianyuefang, go and see what suits your appetite."
Qing Chen was surprised: "How can this be done!"
Ye Tianling laughed, ignoring her protest. There was a burst of laughter and frolicking in front of the corridor, the sun was shining in the distance, the warm wind was slightly intoxicating, and it was already spring.
