From this day onwards, there was nothing to do, You Miao studied in the prison and shared a drink with Li Yan. The two never talked about the grievances and grievances over the years, but only talked about the profound meaning of the book.
The sky gradually cooled down, there was still no news from the north, and heavy snow fell in the sky. On New Year's Eve, Qiao Rong personally brought the prince and princess to the prison and let You Miao take a look. The family was happy, and Li Yan couldn't help but feel sad.
"I heard that the army is back today." Qiao Rong whispered, "The leader of the army is a general named Huang."
"The last name is Huang..." You Miao remembered that it was Li Zhifeng's lieutenant, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Li Zhifeng?"
"I don't know." Qiao Rong said, "His Majesty was beaten with a tenth army stick and cut off one year's salary."
"No mortification?" You Miao said.
Qiao Rong said: "No, I asked my uncle to send some money, and I inquired about the reason. The servant at home said that General Huang was lying on the bed drinking after being beaten, saying that Li Zhifeng was a Hui clan, and his elder brother was killed by King Gaoli. Now The Quan Rong people made him their king."
You Miao turned from worry to joy, laughed, and smiled brightly, as if she was back when she was a teenager.
"I knew he could do it!" You Miao exclaimed, "That's great!"
"But Your Majesty is very angry." Qiao Rong said, "When the army came back, he couldn't eat, and he couldn't sleep at night. He said that if Li Zhifeng sent an envoy for peace talks, the first thing he would do would be to kill the envoy."
"Let him go." You Miao smiled and said, "I don't believe that he really dares to kill. If he wants to kill, the ministers in the court will not let him kill."
Qiao Rong nodded and said, "You can stay here with peace of mind."
Snowflakes fluttered, slanted and rolled down from the skylight. The stove in the prison was burning brightly red. You Miao made two cups of tea, roasted it on fire, and divided Li Yan a cup.
Half a month later, voices came from outside the prison, and there seemed to be some disturbance. You Miao leaned on the skylight and looked out, saying, "What happened in the palace?"
Li Yan lazily caught the fleas and replied, "Mostly it's after the Lantern Festival, so I'm making a fuss."
You Miao remembered that today was the Lantern Festival, and couldn't help feeling a lot.
Li Yan said, "Your sister doesn't know what to give tonight."
You Miao said: "Wait, good wine is indispensable."
You Miao sat down and opened the book. At this moment, a palace servant came over with a jug of wine and said in a high voice, "Two adults, have a good holiday."
Li Yan was stunned, You Miao smiled and said, "Come, bring it."
The palace servant first poured a glass of wine for Li Yan and handed it to Li Yan. You Miao was stunned and shivered. Looking at Li Yan, Li Yan also recovered. He looked at You Miao and the wine in front of him. .
"Dude, let's go first." Li Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I saw your sister-in-law."
You Miao had a thousand words in his heart, but he didn't know what to say. After a long time, he said a word.
"Okay... it's good to go." You Miao said in a trembling voice.
Li Yan drank the glass of wine, leaned against the brick wall, slowly slipped, and the glass fell to the ground with a clang.
The young pommel horse many years ago, wanton the capital, youthful youth, and the spirit of Wuling, all within that thought.
That year, I crossed Changlong Alley, and the Wuliu River came out. In the spring of March, the warm wind was blowing the water. The girl surnamed Liu sat by the water, surrounded by a group of sons and brothers, chatting and laughing.
The willow leaves flying all over the sky brought back memories that You Miao had forgotten for many years, and in an instant, the complicated emotions rolled up like the wind and left him.
"Master You." Gong Ren said, "Please come with me."
Yu Linjun opened the cell door, You Miao's mind went blank, before leaving, he glanced at Li Yan's body, he followed Yu Linjun to leave the prison, and Tang Hui was waiting outside the cell.
Gong Ren said: "General Tang, the humble post will go back first and return to life."
Tang Hui replied, "Please report to Your Majesty on your behalf, and bring it back in two hours."
The palace servant nodded and left, and You Miao was a little more settled, knowing that Zhao Chao wanted him to come out for the Lantern Festival today, and everyone would have a meal and talk.
Sure enough, Tang Hui took You Miao to the side hall, where a bathtub was already prepared, Tang Hui showed a rare smile on his pale face, and said, "Brother wise take a bath and change clothes, while brother fool is out to watch the door for you."
You Miao smiled, nodded, and went to take a bath. Two imperial guards were waiting by the side. After washing, another palace maid came out holding the robe and said, "The queen ordered to let the uncle of the country wear this."
You Miao tried it, and saw that she was wearing a black and gold robe, which fit perfectly. After several months in prison, she lost a little weight, and she couldn't see the sunlight. Her face was paler than her hair, and she looked a little sickly.
Tang Hui escorted You Miao to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Incense was burning in the hall. You Miao was surprised, wasn't it a family banquet? How did you bring it to the temple
Zhao Chao was wearing a royal robe, Qiao Rong was standing by the side, there were no officials in the hall, only the emperor and the queen, Qiao Rong smiled at You Miao, You Miao just felt like a dream, why doesn't today's thing feel right
Zhao Chao said: "Fourth brother."
You Miao felt a little surprised, but he had to bow down in the manner of a monarch and a minister, and said politely, "The minister is here."
You Miao bowed and saluted, guessing that Zhao Chao was angry and angry, Zhao Chao did not speak for a long time. Finally: "You won."
"Your Majesty." Qiao Rong reminded in a low voice.
There was anger and unwillingness in Zhao Chao's voice, and finally he sighed and said, "Fourth brother, remember to come back to see third brother when you have time."
In an instant, You Miao was struck by a thunderbolt. Zhao Chao's words contained too much information, and he finally gave in. You Miao closed her eyes and couldn't help choking: "I thank Your Majesty for being perfect. In this life, I have nothing to repay. I only wish to be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay the grace of God..."
Zhao Chao said: "I will make you the king of Liaodong, so let's go."
The palace servant came over, held a seal, and placed it in front of You Miao. You Miao couldn't help trembling. When she looked up, she saw Qiao Rong weeping with joy, her eyes turning red.
The Royal Forest Army sent You Miao out of the palace gate. You Miao had mixed feelings and said to Tang Hui, "Brother Tang, what happened when I was in prison?"
"Chun Rong people came to negotiate." Tang Hui said: "With a four-hundred-year border contract, the plains of thousands of miles outside Dongliang Pass will be replaced by you. And promised to end the life of King Rong Rong, not to let Goryeo step into the Central Plains for half a step. The ministers of the DPRK and China discussed After a long time, His Majesty finally agreed to let you go."
You Miao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was Li Zhifeng's victory, and he came back to let Zhao Chao release him.
Maocheng flower market lights like daytime, thousands of lanterns pass by, the palace is shrouded in the splendid and prosperous scenery, and you are gradually away from you.
Two fire trees and silver flowers reflect the night sky bright and colorful.
The sky is like a colorful glass lamp, slowly rotating.
You Miao stood in front of the city gate, and couldn't help but look back, and vaguely saw Zhao Chao standing outside the market on the night of the Lantern Festival that year.
The gate of Maocheng slowly opened, and on the Qianli Plain, the Qiang flute was blown, the sky was bright and the moon was bright, and the wind outside the fortress sounded.
Outside Mao City, the 50,000-strong army of dogs and fighters was behind Li Zhifeng.
In You Miao's eyes, the silence outside the city was reflected. The moon was covered with silver light, and it gently draped over Li Zhifeng's body.
The flute blew in the wind, taking away You Miao's thoughts.
Li Zhifeng was dressed in a tiger-skin royal suit, a wolf-head hat, and Yumiao's jade pendant tied to his neck. He was stationed on the horse plain and played the music.
You Miao rode his horse out of Maocheng, the gate closed behind him.
Guanshan is full of silver moonlight, and the king of black armor rides against the yellow sand.
You Miao couldn't tell whether it was tears or water droplets after the snow melted. He dismounted in front of Li Zhifeng. Li Zhifeng stopped his flute and looked down at him tenderly.
He stretched out his hand towards You Miao, a wolf tooth spread out in his palm, You Miao put his hand in Li Zhifeng's big hand, and both sides borrowed strength from each other, You Miao flew on his horse and sat behind Li Zhifeng.
There was a wolf howl, and fifty thousand dogs and cavalrymen responded in unison, the howling was overwhelming, the army set off, and followed Li Zhifeng out of Maocheng.
The pack of wolves headed north, looking back at the middle of the month for a while.
—The troubled times are kings and the end —
