Qinghai is a vast land. If you have never set foot here, you will never imagine that there is such a beautiful paradise hidden behind the blood-stained forest.
To the east of Chifeng, more than two hundred and eighty miles away, the fortified pass is like iron. It is named Cuiwei, and it is towering and towering, like the mountain of Canglang.
Zhuge Yue rode on, followed by more than a hundred war horses. His current bodyguard captain Guo Huai led twenty or thirty soldiers at the end, guarding dozens of green cloth carriages. The wind blows head-on from the east, carrying the aroma of the soil, and the flowers bloom in the warm spring of the year again. The Qinghai mainland is already a gorgeous color of bright flowers.
When they arrived at the gate, the guards had already received the news. After seeing Zhuge Yue, they saluted respectfully and opened the heavy city gate.
Zhuge Yue said calmly to a carriage, "Third Uncle, forgive me for not sending you off."
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing an old but still handsome face. It's just that the owner of this face is frowning at the moment, and his long and narrow eyes are full of annoyance. He raised his head and begged for the last time: "Your Highness, I was confused, please forgive me this time."
Zhuge Yue kept silent, just looked at him indifferently, his eyes were light and cloudless, but it seemed that the mirror lake was frozen, reflecting everything back so coldly, without a trace of emotion.
The old man continued to plead: "Big Xia has already destroyed the country, elder brother and the others have already gone to the north with the Seventh Prince, now Hongchuan is in charge of that little wolf cub Yan Xun, you let me go back, what should I do?" ?”
"That's your business, nothing to do with me."
The old man was almost in tears, got up, knelt down on the car, and said sadly: "Your Highness, it's my third uncle's fault, I'm deluded by ghosts. But my third uncle only saw your heirs wither, so I just let you go." I want to marry Silk to you, I have no ill intentions towards her, I just..."
Before the old man finished speaking, Zhuge Yue had already turned his horse's head, his back like a spear, without any hesitation.
Startled, the old man suddenly shouted: "I didn't do anything! I just thought!"
"I can't even think about it." Zhuge Yue's voice echoed in the wind calmly, like a leaf floating on the water.
"They are my wife and children. Even if you think about it for a while, it won't work if I find out."
A snow-white bird flew over from the Qinghai Plain with a branch in its beak. It looked like a male bird that had just settled down and built a nest.
"Guo Huai, send them out."
The door opened, and after a long time, it closed again. He led the team back without saying a word. With the sound of horseshoes, green pastures, and eagles circling, everything was peaceful and peaceful.
This is Qinghai, and it is his home. He controls everything here with an iron fist, rules everything here, and will definitely protect everything here. Anything that might threaten this tranquility is ruthlessly rooted out. Even, just think about it.
A crisp sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded. Zhuge Yue raised his head, and saw her wearing light yellow clothes, riding a horse, coming from afar.
"Wow—" Chu Qiao reined in the horse, straightened her body on the horse's back, looked towards the distant pass, and asked with a frown, "Your third uncle has left?"
Zhuge Yue nodded, "Yes."
"Why didn't you call me to deliver it?"
Zhuge Yue smiled and said, "It's hard for him to leave his homeland, he misses home and wants to go back, why are you making trouble?"
Chu Qiao frowned unhappily, "He is your elder, it would be so ugly if I don't give it away."
"What's not to like." Zhuge Yue grinned casually, rode forward, and said, "I don't even kiss him."
Anyway, she had already left, Chu Qiao sighed helplessly, and said flatly: "You didn't let me give it to you, so don't pick me up afterward, saying that I didn't give you face."
The two laughed and gossiped about the daily life, and walked towards home. The post road is straight, with green grass and flowers on both sides, and a seductive fragrance faintly coming from afar. This post road is the only way to the outside of the customs. Now the situation in Hongchuan has been settled, Yanbei has entered the eastern land, the civil war between Bian and Tang has subsided, and Huai Song has returned to Dayan. With a stable political situation, commerce gradually developed. Qinghai's policies were liberalized, and Bian Tang also established formal business ties with Qinghai. Therefore, this post road was very bustling and lively. In such a short time, more than a dozen caravans of caravans have passed by.
Both Zhuge Yue and Chu Qiao were wearing ordinary people's clothes, and the guards behind them were not wearing armor, so they looked like ordinary people traveling.
After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums in front of me. I looked up and saw that there was a married woman, a white horse and a red sedan chair, winding all the way.
Seeing Zhuge Yue, he said with a smile: "Today is really a happy day, and when I go out, I meet people doing happy things."
After finishing speaking, he ordered Guo Huai and others to make way, and everyone retreated outside the post road. The happy team came from a distance, the groom sat on the horse, he looked dignified, he bowed his hands to Zhuge Yue from a distance, thanked him for giving way, Zhuge Yue also smiled and nodded in return.
Chu Qiao looked at the happy team and was suddenly in a daze. She vaguely remembered that it seemed that a long time ago, she also sat on a festive royal chariot, accompanied by drum music all the way, and walked on this post road that had just been built.
At that time, she was already pregnant with Liujia, and her waist could no longer be hidden. She understands the customs here. When a woman gets married with a pregnant belly, there will inevitably be some gossip. But he insisted that he would give her an official title before the child was born. Therefore, she once again became the most criticized bride in the world, wearing a large wedding gown, sitting on the emperor's jade chariot, and walked all the way into the magnificent palace gate built just for her.
Things in this world are always strange. Many times, you work hard for one thing, but you may not be able to achieve your ideal. But sometimes, you look back unintentionally, but you are destined to promise a fate that will last your whole life.
On that day, on the Wutong stage, she was married as his wife under the witness of the world of Qinghai. Purple gold and green thread, brocade dress, he spent half of his life in weaving this grand wedding for her, and gave her a family to rely on for life on the land he laid down with one hand and one foot in the predicament.
Bowing her head and prostrating, she was full of gratitude. She didn't respect gods and Buddhas in this life, but she was blessed by gods and Buddhas in the end. After hundreds of battles, she escaped death and got the beloved man that all women in the world could only dream of.
A person like him deserves to be loved by all loyal women in this world.
And she is the luckiest one among the thousands of creatures.
That night, he pulled out her hairpin to remove her make-up, the red candle was still uncut, and the west window was already lit, life and death all the way, after all, she still looked forward to this day.
It's like the wind on Qinghai Continent, which has been cruising thousands of times, blowing everywhere in the southeast, northwest, but will eventually return to the land of the red wind and find its own home.
"Star?"
Zhuge Yue frowned and shouted, "Why are you in a daze?"
Chu Qiao came back to her senses immediately, and said with a smile, "I thought that when we got married, you didn't come to pick me up on a horse."
Zhuge Yue looked thoughtfully at the receding team, nodded and said, "Yes, how about we do it again?"
"Okay, I'm fine with that."
The two walked while joking, and after a while, they entered Qiuye City and entered the Xingyue Palace through the rear palace gate.
However, as soon as he walked outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he heard a commotion from inside. The servant was about to inform, Zhuge Yue waved his hand, and walked in with a frown.
As expected, in the yard, all the servants stood aside tremblingly. His son was sticking out his little butt, pulling his little thing into the palace door with all his strength, and someone's pillow was placed at the door, obviously exiled.
"Zhou'er, what are you doing?"
The three-and-a-half-year-old child was startled when he heard the sound, and squatted down on the ground. He turned his head cautiously, covered his eyes with his hands, and looked out through the gaps between his fingers, and he saw his father's stinky face.
After doing everything and being caught straight again, what else is there to say
Zhuge Yunzhou went all out, stood up, stretched his stomach, and said loudly: "Zhou'er is moving!"
"Which house are you moving?"
But he heard his son say confidently: "Father five days, Zhouer five days, it's five days."
Zhuge Yue is one head and two big, yes, there was such a saying back then. He and Chu Qiao, although they usually look shrewd and capable, they are lawless when they spoil the child. The child has been living with them in the same room until he was two years old. But this, this, sometimes, is still very inconvenient. For example, in the dead of night, when the night is dark and the wind is high, if you do something that is beneficial to your physical and mental health, there will always be a little guy with better ears than a rabbit staring at you with wide eyes. This is too scary.
In the end, Zhuge Yue couldn't bear it anymore, and made a contract with his son, father and son divided the palace, and each occupied Chu Qiao for five days, and only then temporarily had a few nights of leisure and recklessness.
It's a pity that since then, Zhuge Yunzhou's trust in his father has dropped significantly. Every three to five days, this man always refuses to return to his mother for various reasons. The little guy is getting more and more dissatisfied, what are you doing, bullying me at a young age, no one listens to me, right? Mother said, do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, if the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain, if you don't move out, I will move in.
So today, while Zhuge Yue was out to run some errands, Zhuge Yunzhou moved his short legs resolutely, moved all his stuff into Chu Qiao's bedroom, and threw Zhuge Yue's pillow out to show himself Determination.
"Hmm," Zhuge Yue cleared his throat, and said with content, "Zhou'er, you have grown up, you have to learn to be a man, and you can't always cling to your mother."
Little Zhuge raised his head, blinked his eyes and looked at his father seriously. Zhuge Yue thought he had succeeded in preaching, so he hurriedly said shamelessly: "Father, when you were so young, he could bend a bow and ride a horse, and knew poetry and books. You should put your mind on serious things, don't think about it every day. Do you understand these useless things?"
Little Zhuge nodded, and said obediently: "Understood."
Zhuge Yue was overjoyed, this kid finally got the hang of it.
"But it doesn't work." Little Zhuge curled his lips, stretched out a pair of small red hands to Chu Qiao, and said aggrievedly, "Mother, my hands hurt, but I'm tired."
Chu Qiao looked at her precious son's appearance, and immediately turned her fingers into soft fingers, three steps in parallel, commanding the servants to help him carry things.
Standing in the courtyard, Zhuge Yue just watched his wife's sudden betrayal, his heart was as desolate as the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.
In the middle of the night, someone tiptoed up, put on his clothes and left the hall.
The person in charge of the connection outside asked proudly, "Is he asleep?"
"Yeah." Chu Qiao nodded, "Go, go, I have to get up early tomorrow morning."
"Damn boy, fight with me?!"
"Keep down, the little guy has good ears."
The night was as dark as ink, a certain child was lying on the window, staring at the two people walking side by side outside, and sighed sadly: "Mother has betrayed me."
Qinghai was not called Qinghai a long time ago. A long time ago, there was no name here. A long time later, someone came to this land and saw the green grass like the sea and the vast world, so it was named.
Zhuge Yunzhou was not called Zhuge Yunzhou before, he was called Zhuge Kongming, and then his mother had a dream, dreaming that an old man with a fan came to attack her with Thunder God, so he changed his name.
The Xingyue Palace was not called the Xingyue Palace before. It used to be a deserted land. Since a family came here, a big palace was built here, and they lived a peaceful and peaceful life.
The heroes walked out of the magnificent battlefield and returned to the trivial and peaceful life. Only when life is no longer ups and downs like sailing in a raging sea, can you experience the joy of life.
After all, this is life.
