Adore Trick of Beauty

In order to confuse Nie Minghu into the set, Yelutu dispersed his troops. Now in front of "Qixia Pass", he only has 50,000 troops at full strength, and these 50,000 troops have been fighting for several months. He is exhausted. It was once intercepted and burned several times by Gu Qinghong's people, but later he tried his best to recover, and finally he was able to guarantee the food and drink of the so-called 100,000 army. The 20,000 troops in Xiao Fengqing's hands are strong and strong, although the number is less than the 50,000 troops guarded by Yelutu at "Qixia Pass", the combat power seems to be evenly matched.

Qixia Pass, the second largest pass in the Qi State, which ranks second to "Yunling Pass", now gathers the troops of the three kingdoms. March is the season of recovery of all things, but under the shadow of the pre-war, it seems that it has long since disappeared. vitality.

Youzhou, Zuoling County.

On a hilltop, a thin figure stood against the wind. The handsome back has a hint of dust, and the wind in the mountains is blowing, bringing the faint smell of gunpowder in the distance. He stood motionless for a long time, his back was as clear as a paper-cut, as if he had descended from an exile, with sadness and heaviness.

"Master Xiangguo, go back." The young man in green shirt beside him reminded softly: "It's getting late."

He turned around slowly, his handsome eyebrows and eyes were like a bright moon, gentle and elegant, but his face was three points sick and seven points tired. The originally black temples were a little gray and full.

His young face had gray hair, which made him look even more miserable.

He was about to say something, but couldn't help coughing. He coughed so hard that he seemed to be coughing up his heart and liver. The boy in green shirt at the side hastily stepped forward to support him: "Lord Xiangguo, how are you doing?"

Gu Qinghong shook his head: "It's okay..." Before he finished speaking, he coughed violently again. His little servant, Zhuying, was almost crying: "Lord Xiangguo, why don't you ask the emperor for the antidote? One pill a day can't suppress your illness at all."

Gu Qinghong smiled wryly: "Fool, if that wasn't the case, how could the emperor let me command the army to fight against the enemy? Military power and political power have never been combined into one, but now I have integrated military and political power. The appointment of officials and generals is up to me alone. The emperor's wealth and life are all on me. If he doesn't have the magic weapon to restrain me, how can he feel at ease? Now the whole Qi country is at stake. If I have any objection, the emperor There are no more people to use, no soldiers to use..."

"But Emperor Yingguo didn't use that imperial decree at all! In the end, Mr. Xiangguo also borrowed reinforcements. Why doesn't the emperor trust Mr. Xiangguo?" Zhu Ying wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, with unwillingness on his face: "Mr. It's really not worth it for the emperor to sacrifice his life!"

Gu Qinghong's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "Let's... be presumptuous! How can you make random comments about the emperor? Kneel down to the truth!"

He wanted to say it again, but coughed even worse.

Zhu Ying knelt on the ground, still angrily: "The villain is right! Mr. Xiangguo is thinking so hard, what is it for?"

Gu Qinghong was startled, the anger in his heart disappeared immediately, and he finally sighed: "What am I for? What is it for..."

"The reason is that the hundred-year-old foundation of Qi State will not fall into the hands of Qin State, and the fertile fields of Qi State must not be reduced to Qin State's pastures!" Gu Qinghong's face was serious: "You don't understand, since I am the head of a country, Xiang, now that I have stood up, there is no way to retreat. After this battle, no matter what, I can't..."

"Anyway, what's Xiangye going to do?" Zhu Ying was taken aback by the seriousness and despondency in his tone.

Gu Qinghong swallowed the second half of the words, and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I just want to say, no matter what, I can't lose."

He concealed the despair in his eyes: After this battle, no matter what, he couldn't live anymore. He has mastered the military and government of Qi State. The emperor of Qi State is now taboo against him and has to rely on him. If he was defeated, he would have no face to see the people of Qi State, and if he was defeated, he would no longer be tolerated by the emperor of Qi State.

Death is the only way out for him.

He glanced northwest again: "Now that Nie Minghu has occupied Qixia Pass, Xiao Fengqing of Yingguo has also personally led 20,000 elite soldiers to fight against Yelutu. If we regain Qixia Pass and solve Nie Minghu's dilemma, we will definitely turn defeat into victory." of!"

"Pass the order of the truth, the three armies will set off immediately and go to Qixia Pass!" Gu Qinghong suddenly turned his head, Qingjun's eyes showed firmness: "No matter what, we must take Qixia Pass! Yelutu and Xiao Fengqing must not be allowed to go Mastered this last pass!"

...

In the "Eternal Hua Palace", Nie Wushuang was wearing a thin and warm cloak and was watching the maids rushing to clean up. Ya Chongrong hugged the third prince at the side and persuaded earnestly: "Sister Nie, wait a few more days before leaving! Your injury is not healed yet!"

Nie Wushuang's face was still pale, and her beautiful eyes grew larger and deeper due to the weight loss these past few days. She said indifferently: "Sister Ya, don't need to say too much, I'm not in the palace, everything is up to you. The third prince is young, so you have to be careful about what you eat."

She glanced at the two nurses and nuns behind Ya Chongrong with her beautiful eyes, and said coldly: "When I am not in the palace, you are not allowed to bully Ya Chongrong because she is young! When I come back, if I hear you No, all will be killed with a cane!"

When the nurse and mother behind Ya Chongrong heard this, they immediately knelt down and said no.

Nie Wushuang snorted coldly: "I don't dare to say it, but if someone wants to bribe you, I will naturally dare to kill a thousand swords." She gently stroked the third prince's white and tender face, with a half-smile Said to them: "The third prince is the son of the palace, and Ya Chongrong is the son of the palace."

The sisters of the palace. Ben Gong has already died several times, if you want to try Ben Gong's methods, you will understand when Ben Gong comes back. "

She didn't wait for them to argue after she finished speaking, and waved them to back off.

Ya Chongrong looked at Nie Wushuang's beautiful face, and sighed: "Why should Sister Nie scare them like this?"

Nie Wushuang calmed down, and said with a wry smile: "Now I can only scare them. If I leave and they join forces to bully you, what will you do? I don't know when I will come back after this trip." ..."

She was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Maybe I won't come back."

A strange feeling rose in Ya Chongrong's heart, and she couldn't help pulling her sleeve and said, "Sister Nie, what are you talking about? Why don't you come back?"

Nie Wushuang forced a smile at her: "Just talking casually, I don't know when I will come back. After all, Donglin Temple is so far away..."

Ya Chongrong didn't even think about it: "Sister Nie is talking nonsense! Donglin Temple has only been back and forth for a few days, why can't you come back... Sister Nie, don't let yourself get lost!"

Nie Wushuang smiled reassuringly on her face, "Don't worry, the last thing in this world... will never be me. I have survived all the difficult times, how could it be at this time?" Confused? Sister Ya, don't worry, if I want to see through the world, I won't go to a monk temple to become a monk..."

She wanted to say something relaxing, but Ya Chongrong's tears rolled down her face: "Sister Nie...it's all my useless..."

Nie Wushuang looked at her young face, and smiled slightly: "Why are you crying? Why are you useless? If it weren't for you, Yifeng, you wouldn't look so good. After all, in this palace, you and I are the only ones who get along well. You can look after Yifeng for me, that is the greatest use."

She took one last look at the third prince, and stretched out her hand to squeeze his little hand. The third prince was just about to open his eyes to play, so Yiyi grabbed her finger and stuffed it into her toothless mouth to suck. Looking at his innocent and pure black eyes, Nie Wushuang withdrew his hand and waved: "Go down. Let Ben Gong rest for a while."

Ya Chongrong hugged the third prince and slowly backed away. After walking a few steps, she turned around and saw Nie Wushuang staring out the window in a daze. Sadness surged up in her heart: In her heart, I am afraid that she and the third prince Yifeng are just weak people who need shelter, and there must be more important things to do in her heart...

Early the next morning, when it was still dark, Nie Wushuang got up, and was about to call the maid, when suddenly, he stretched out his hands diagonally to lift up the curtain. With sleepy eyes, she saw clearly that it was Xiao Fengming, and couldn't help but stunned.

"The emperor? Why are you here?" She wanted to get out of bed. Xiao Fengming had already supported her hand, in the dim light, his eyes were dark, like black glass.

"Don't move. It's still very early." Xiao Fengming sat beside her bed, and Nie Wushuang leaned softly on his chest according to his words. He is busy with state affairs these days, and because of her back injury, he will not stay overnight in "Eternal Hua Palace." ", but she has always understood his concern. She leaned against his chest, the faint scent of ambergris lingered in her nose. Suddenly, her heart softened with sourness.

"Doesn't the emperor need to go to court early?" She asked briskly, hiding her sadness in her heart.

"It's still early." Xiao Fengming said calmly, "I'm here to see you."

"Is your back feeling better?" he asked.

"It's much better." Nie Wushuang raised his head and smiled: "The concubine is fine."

Xiao Fengming looked at her smiling face for a long time, then suddenly hugged her tightly: "I made you difficult."

Nie Wushuang was startled, and his sweet and deep voice echoed in the empty hall: "If I hadn't insisted on letting your eldest brother fight, you wouldn't have to go to Donglin Temple to avoid rumors again today. Yelutu is too much Crazy, he always thinks that he will be able to rule the Central Plains. Don't take his words to heart."

Nie Wushuang felt a lot of emotions when she heard the words, she held his warm hand, with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty..."

How can she let him know that she is not what he imagined...

Xiao Fengming shook her hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled slightly: "I'm sure of this battle, don't worry, your elder brother will be fine."

Nie Wushuang sighed inwardly and nodded.

Nie Wushuang's car slowly drove out from the Suzaku Gate. Nie Wushuang leaned on the cushion, watching the palace gates behind him slowly leave, and could not help but bury his head in the cloak. After leaving the palace gate, Nie Wushuang ordered coldly: "Hurry up!"

The guards got the order and hurriedly waved their whips to speed up the journey. The carriage and horses swayed, Nie Wushuang endured the pain in his back, gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Yang Zhi sat on the shaft of the chariot and asked in a low voice, "Has your empress changed her mind?"

Nie Wushuang opened his eyes, and said calmly, "When did you see that my decision has changed?"

Yang Zhi sighed, the violent bumps made his voice erratic: "Your Majesty, doing this is tantamount to destroying your own future!"

Nie Wushuang looked at the swaying of the car curtain, and the bright sun had risen, dispelling the cold wind on the road. She took a deep breath: "The future is nothing to me. If I lose my most important thing, What do you want this palace to do with such a future?"

Yang Zhi listened and stopped talking.

Nie Wushuang closed his eyes again, and fell asleep on the soft cushion. Under Nie Wushuang's repeated urging, the original two-day itinerary was shortened to one and a half days before arriving at Donglin Temple.

When she arrived at the temple, Nie Wushuang rested in the courtyard she used to live in as usual. When she met the abbot, she knelt down and wept, "Abbot is merciful. I can't see tolerance and secularity in this palace. My brother is going out to fight and is in danger. Please abbot to open up a quiet place." land

Let me worship the Buddha with a pure heart, wash away the sins on my body, and pray for my brother! "

The abbot sighed and said: "The world is full of turmoil, and you can't see your heart clearly. Benefactor Nie is dedicated to doing good, but suffers repeatedly. Forget it, Benefactor Nie will live in the "Xishin Pavilion". Donors are among them, and no one can disturb your meditation and Buddha worship.”

Nie Wushuang was grateful on the face, and ordered the palace servants to move the things into the "Xishin Pavilion" overnight. After the palace staff cleaned up, Nie Wushuang ordered: "From tomorrow onwards, I will worship the Buddha with a pure heart and never see outsiders. No matter how important things are, don't disturb my palace! Do you understand?"

Supported by Xia Lan, she entered the pavilion. Close the door, it's dark now. She took off her coat, put on the maid's costume that she had prepared long ago, and said to Yang Zhi: "Let's go!"

Yang Zhi glanced at her, sighed and said to Xia Lan and Ming Qiu who were beside him: "When your mother is not around, you just stay here and don't let anyone in."

After he finished speaking, he took Nie Wushuang out quietly through the side door behind the pavilion, and walked all the way to another small path in the temple. The night was as dark as ink, and the monks who came and went saw that the maids and servants hurried past with their heads bowed, knowing that the concubine came to the temple today, they didn't care.

Yang Zhi led Nie Wushuang all the way, and finally came to a wide river.
