Nirvana In Fire

Xia Dong's eyes stayed on Mei Changsu Sudan's face. After a long time, he slowly retracted into the drooping feather eyelashes.

Before coming to Ningguo's mansion today, she had imagined what kind of person this Su Zhe was. But after seeing it, she found that he was far deeper than rumors and imagination.

"Since Mr. Su has this spare time, Xia Dong takes his ears and listens."

Mei Changsu nodded slightly to her, turned his face, turned his eyes away from his only listener's face, and cast it toward the dark and dim sky, without saying anything: "In a country and a dynasty, there is a king, Holding the male soldiers at the border, he has always won the emperor's favor, and the trust is ready.

One year the prince entered the capital with his daughter, and the little master was left in the palace and met many children of the royal family.

One of them is the only son of the Grand Marshal of North Korea and China. She is two years old. She is lively and mischievous. She is arrogant and arrogant. The two often play together.

When the queen mother saw them without guessing, she made the order for them.

Although there is no deep relationship between Fanfu and Marshal Mansion, after all, they are right, and neither has any objection.

Unexpectedly, only one year after the engagement, the Grand Marshal was involved in a retrograde case, and his father and son died.

Although the prince Wang Yuanxian was not involved in the case, he was inevitably involved in this case because of the in-laws of the children.

The emperor was suspicious of him, and everything he did was not as handy as before. After two years of wear and tear, his combat power was naturally affected. At this time, the neighboring country thrived and forced soldiers to commit a crime, resulting in victory in World War I and death in World War II. , Leaving the orphans and weak children, no main soldiers, all mourning and helpless.

At that time, the reinforcements had not arrived, and the situation was critical. The 17-year-old chief of the small county was filial piety, leading the soldiers for his father. After a lot of hard work, she had stabilized the city defense.

Master Xia, do you say that this little master is a strange woman in this life? "

Xia Dong's eyes were dark and sighed silently.

In front of me, it seemed to see the girl with a strong face and a strong face that he saw on the city wall when he went south with the reinforcements.

Even though she was ten years old, even though she had been through the world for many years, she had only two words of respect for her feeling of this unyielding woman after going through hardships.

If it weren't for the pain of **** hatred between them, the hanging mirror made Xia Dong's friendship with the two heroic women of Nihuang County Lord should not be inferior to those of the heroes who intersect life and death.

Mei Changsu only glanced slightly at her expression, and then added: "Although the crisis is resolved, the situation is still unstable.

The lord of the county stood in prestige in the first battle, and the Tieqi of the Fan Palace all bowed their heads.

The court could not find a more suitable person than her, and allowed her to temporarily take over the military and political power of the feudal town.

Then it was a long time of ten years, how many times she was in a dangerous situation alone, and everyone only saw the sheer might of her commanding soldiers, who could appreciate the hardship and pressure in her heart.

Many people don't even know that, just two years ago, she had encountered a crisis that was almost beyond recovery. "

Hearing this, Xia Dong couldn't help but move in horror: "Such a thing, haven't you heard the court report?"

Mei Changsu used her eyes to show her peace, and still maintained the original speed of speech: "Under the commander's command, good field warfare, good offensive and defensive, is indeed a mighty teacher, but there is a weakness, that is Water warfare. "

Xia Dong knew the Yunnan cavalry better and nodded involuntarily, obviously agreeing very much.

"The crisis was caused by a high-ranking neighbor in the neighboring country who formulated a very fierce water attack strategy.

First of all, as a raid, the river ferry was won by force, with the giant ship as the battalion, the small ship as the blade, and the river as the road. As soon as it was supplied, it was all transported from the water, and the vast army of troops went straight along the river to the hinterland.

Although it was dangerous for the soldiers, it had a miraculous effect.

If the lord of the county attacked the ferry with all his strength, the enemy naval forces would go ashore by chaos. If they attacked the enemy on the water, they attacked the enemy with their own shortcomings. At that time, many generals had no way to break the enemy.

As the head coach of the army, the lord ’s worries at that time can be imagined. Speaking of which, he coughed a few times and stopped to drink tea.

"What happened afterwards?" Xia Dongzheng could hear God, and when he saw him pause, he couldn't help but ask.

"At a difficult time, a young man came from the camp. He self-recommends that he is the best at water warfare and asks to enter the camp to serve.

The master of the county knows people well and hires them out of line.

The man did not brag about it, and he was indeed a naval wizard.

After half a month of planning, he personally went to war and broke the enemy in one fell swoop.

After the war, the governor wanted to report his first merit, and he wanted to reward him. But for some reason, this person insisted on not letting the governor report his name for reward. "

"Oh?" Xia Dong was stunned. "He doesn't want the credit for the **** battle, which is strange."

"Maybe this person has no intention of officialdom." Mei Changsu lightly replied, and then said, "In the latter half of this year, this young man has been staying in the county main camp to rebuild her training navy to make up for the previous leaks.

This person has a generous temperament, a magnificent manner, and is very funny. The two people are quite similar in age. After a long time, they naturally have different feelings, but the timing is often wrong. It is always regrettable that they have not confessed to each other. "

Xia Dong heard this and thought about it, her heart couldn't help being furious.

Since each has his own favors, the county governor's open choice of son-in-law is a great opportunity for that person to win his wish. Obviously, this person has not appeared.

She has always been a person who loves to fight with injustice. What's more, it's a matter of the county governor, can she not be angry? Immediately, he got up and asked tightly, "Who is this person? Where is it now?"

Mei Changsu did not directly answer her question. He lowered his head halfway, still telling his story unhurriedly, but his tone of voice gradually became low: "One day half a year later, the young man suddenly said goodbye, leaving A brief letter to the county master, which reads the words 'Call in the Alliance, Order to Return'.

The master of the county was annoyed that he would leave in such a decisive manner, tearing up the letter, making it impossible for him to catch up.

However, her younger brother was not reconciled, and sent a master to track down. After knowing that the man's whereabouts entered Tuzhou, he disappeared like a mud bull into the sea, and there was no clue to trace. "

Xia Dong is such a keen person, and immediately grasped the main point: "Tuzhou is already in the Jiangzuo area, and there are 14 states. Besides the Jiangzuo League, when will there be a second gang?"

Mei Changsu did not admit it, nor did he deny it. He still said: "A year has passed since then, and no trace of the young man has been found in the palace.

Although the master of the county was silent, everyone in the house felt that this person was cold and very incomprehensible.

At this time, when the younger brother of the governor became an adult, he entered Beijing to attack the prince, and the court intended to openly choose her son-in-law for the governor, solicit her opinions in advance.

Everyone thought that, according to the proud character of the governor, they would not accept this open selection method. Unexpectedly, she only accepted a few additional conditions, and she agreed. "

Xia Dong touched her heart and felt sad in her heart. She couldn't help but sigh. She looked lonely and said: "Women are infatuated and always better than men.

I want to come to her. Although her appearance looks unharmed, in fact, she still hopes that the young man will take this opportunity to come to the election ... "

Mei Changsu did not answer his head, his eyes were desolate.

At this point, the story is only halfway through, but I don't know where the future will be.

The gloomy cloud feet on the horizon are lower and lower, the winter solstice is snowy, and the wind is late.

Xia Dong put down the teacup, stood up and walked to the pavilion to look into the distance.

Against the dark clouds of the sky, her tall and slender figure became more flexible and powerful, and the face of the evil charm and beautiful face was expressionless, as if she was contemplating, as if she was only breathing and vomiting, thinking nothing.

However, the tranquility before the storm is always short. Just a moment later, she took a deep breath, Huo Ran turned back, her eyes blazed like flames, and she went straight to Mei Changsu. The tone of her mouth was even more fierce: "You know this story , Then Dangke tells me, since he is in love, why does n’t he come? ”

"Why don't you come?" Mei Changsu smiled miserably, his face closed like snow, and he slowly closed his eyes and said to himself, "You can ask me ... but I ... how can I ask him?"

Since you are in love, why not come? Why not come?

Because there is a person who has already fallen into **** and still lives in this world, so he can only struggle and suffer.

To that man, the love between men and women is pure and beautiful, but the friendship between brothers is not like a golden jade.

Even if it is the world's most chic and unconventional person, it will inevitably lead to some obsession, and do not want to be half ashamed of friends.

It ’s just a word of love, which has never been avoided, and on the surface, as always, he talks and laughs uncontrollably, which ca n’t conceal his inner sadness, just like in the Yingfeng Tower at that time, the lord looked at himself as the lord of the Jiangzuo League, many words It rushed to the lips, like the pain when it was difficult to ask, it was the inner emotions that could not be concealed no matter how calm and strong the mask was.

When he was sent to help Nihuang, he didn't anticipate this ending, but now with these two sincere hearts like ice and snow, how can he be pedantic and become a hindrance? Lin Shu had already had a lot of fate, only for a marriage contract that was irrelevant when he was a boy, he had been carrying Nihuang for many years, and now he is dying and sick, surviving his life, how difficult the future is, and there is no more effort to involve the children ...

So I prepared tea for hospitality today, and when I came to Xia Dong, I finally wanted this.

"Master Xia," when Mei Changsu opened his eyes again, there was only Ning He and tenderness in his eyes.

He gazed softly at Xia Dong, his voice was steady and serene, "Su Mou doesn't have a deep relationship with the county master, and some words are not good to be spoken in person, so today I borrowed tea to leave a guest and tell this story to adults. Please tell me something for Su: Although the master of the county has been hesitant and did not ask me directly, I know what the doubts are in her heart.

The man was indeed in my Jiang Zuomeng. Before, I didn't quite understand the intention of the county master. I was afraid that there would be any misunderstanding.

But since I got acquainted with the master of the county, I have been able to see things clearly.

Therefore, please be assured that the master of the county will never be a little thinner than the master of the county, but there are still some business issues at present, so I can not enter Beijing for the time being.

If the county master can trust Su Mou, please give him more time to thank him. "

After listening to these words, Xia Dong didn't rush to respond for a moment, but pondered for a long while, and Fang frowned: "The manly husband should be more simple. Love is love. If you don't love, you don't love. What's so great His business is so troublesome that he will not be able to visit Jinling? "

Mei Changsu didn't give much explanation, just said a little: "The people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves, please forgive me, Master Xia."

Xia Dong snorted aloud, but after all said, "Since this matter is related to the county master, you are so frank about telling me, I might as well run this leg for you.

But you also told the kid that I met him in the future, and I am not so good at Xia Dong. "

Mei Changsu smiled and said: "It's really rare that the master of the county has such a good friend as Master Xia."

Hearing this, Xia Dong's eyes turned cold and cold, and said coldly: "She is not my friend yet. I won't admit the word" friend "until she gets married."

"Is it?" Mei Changsu didn't care about this sentence. He said casually, "Because of that marriage contract that year? The master will not marry another day, she will be a member of the Lin family.

For Master Xia, the Lin family is the enemy you do n’t share? "

He seemed unintentional to say this sentence, but listening to Xia Dong's ears made her stiff, and her eyelashes twitched violently.

She is not surprised that Mei Changsu knows this.

Although this old case was deliberately downplayed by the court, it was an event involving tens of thousands of people after all. With the strength of the first gang of the Jiangzuo League, it is not difficult to find it out as long as you have the intention to investigate.

What really shocked her was how she felt when she heard this sentence, a torrent of uncontrollable emotion that suddenly surged in her heart.

Despite the fact that more than twelve years have passed, and although it is no longer possible to shed tears when dreaming back at midnight, many years of cultivation has calmed down and has not brought any real healing.

The simple and simple "Lin Family" of the elegant scholar can suddenly evoke the **** pain and bitter hatred in his heart, just like the strand of white hair in the silk, always so sharp and eye-catching, and he cannot be ignored anytime, anywhere.

Mei Changsu turned his gaze away from Xia Dong's body, as if he couldn't bear to see the fragile side that she suddenly showed.

Xia Dong, who is a hanging mirror, is naturally the strongest of the strong, but stripping her proud identity and strong mask, she is still one of the tens of thousands of grievances and orphans left over from that tragedy.

I still remember her at the time of her first marriage. She was young and beautiful, and she was full of vitality. She just walked out of the new house and stopped her husband from the new house.

A pair of bi people under the red candle of the bright moon, one is a famous general in the Red Flame Army, one is a high apprentice under the hanging mirror door, the teacher in the hall smiled and blessed, and the brothers in the army celebrated.

I thought that happiness can last for a long time, but who knows seven years of love, looking back into gray.

It was as if the ancient road had just looked at the two people to say goodbye to each other, and then she was the undead for twelve years.

Fortunately, she is Xia Dong. The responsibility and tenacity of the Suspension Mirror support her to withstand that blow, and her brothers did not grieve in front of her. Unfortunately, she is Xia Dong. Everyone in the chaos is because of her strength. However, I was at ease and only realized that one day when I suddenly found her with white hair and eyes like ice, I suddenly felt the anger and grief in her heart.

Perhaps only the master of the Niuhuang County experienced a little bit of Xia Dong's state of mind. The girl who was forced to mature quickly was originally the most proud and powerful woman in the world, but she endured her all the time during the initial time with Xia Dong. Provocative and difficult, even after the two have defended the enemy side by side and have formed a deep friendship, they still silently endured her cold declaration that "If you do not marry one day, you will not be my friend one day."

But Mei Changsu knew in his heart that if anyone in this world dared to be detrimental to Nihuang County Master, the first person to stand up must be Xia Dong.

Whether she married or not, whether she was not Lin ’s wife in name or not, she was Xia Dong ’s closest friend.

Because the friendship formed on the battlefield is the least susceptible friendship in the world.

"Mr. Su," after a moment of silence, Xia Dong restrained her excitement and asked coldly, "What is it for you to come to Beijing?"

Mei Chang Su Guaner said: "Why, the hanging mirror prevents the adults from even finding out this?"

Xia Dong snorted coldly and said, "I know what the Kirin talents say, and you know you have big ambitions.

But what I do n’t understand is that even if you want to participate in the dispute between the Prince and Yuwang, there is no need to check things so long in the past, right? "

Mei Changsu Si didn't care about her cold attitude, still smiling: "Every time in the present is continued from the past. Without knowing the past, how do you know what should be done now, should not be done? What? No matter how long it is in the past, what causes are planted, and what results are eventually achieved.

Does the hanging mirror make us always strive for justice, don't we also cherish this belief? "

"Past things naturally have their meaning, I just can't figure out what they do with you?" Xia Dong's eyes shot like a torch, scorching Mei Changsu's face, "Could it be that the old case 12 years ago would Will it affect the current battle between the crown prince and honorary king? "

"As long as there is involvement, there will be more or less impact.

Could Lord Xia think that they had nothing to do with that year? Mei Changsu asked lightly.

The woman suspended the mirror and pondered, "Yes, I admit that they pushed the waves and accelerated the demise of King Qi, but if it were not for King Qi's own ambitions and conspiracy, if it was not for the Red Flame Army to help him to abuse, he would be so mean Is there a deserved result for the next sin? "

Mei Changsu's face did not change color, but the root of the tooth was secretly clenched. After a while, he exhaled a breath and said, "I think ... this is why you and your Highness King Jing have never avoided seeing each other?"

Xia Dong's expression narrowed and gave him a deep look. Shen Sheng asked, "What do you mean?"

"Master Xia has always believed in the court's conclusion about the King Qi's controversy, but King Jing has argued for King Qi from beginning to end. If it was not his emperor's benevolence, it has been verified that he was only confused by his brother's feelings, and has nothing to do with the case. , I'm afraid he has already been implicated in the crime.

However, Rao is so. He is still subject to reprimand. He has not been able to earn the title of a prince for more than a decade of field achievements, so that neither the prince nor the honorary king put him in the eye.

The two of you have opposite views. Once you meet, do n’t mention the matter. If you do n’t mention it, there will always be conflict.

So it ’s better not to see each other. Mei Changsu looked directly at Xia Dong's eyes, "Su Mou is right?"

Xia Dongding fixedly looked at him, his eyes seemed to be examining, and he seemed to have no other intentions, but after all, he did not deny it, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness is the prince, Xia Dong can only provoke if he can't.

He had to ignore the facts, and he was rebellious in his heart, and His Majesty was forgiving. How can Xia Dong take him? "

Mei Changsu retired to add hot tea to her, while saying, "It seems that Master Xia thinks that King Jing must be wrong?"

"Of course it is King Jing who is wrong." Xia Dong's eyes were as firm as iron. "Since Mr. Su deliberately investigated this old matter, who knew that King Qi's counter case was investigated?"

Mei Changsu ’s lips squeezed secretly, and turned his head, still a breeze-like look, laughing: "Everyone knows this, it is the first generation of hanging mirrors. , Master Xia Jiangxia. "

Speaking of Xia Jiang's name, Xia Dong's eyes were neutral and respectful, and his tone was unprecedentedly unprecedented: "Since the teacher's debut, he has assisted His Majesty and has been investigated by the Emperor's order for countless cases. So far, there has been no mistake.

If Mr. Su dares to question again, Xia Dong will be regarded as disrespectful to his teacher. "

"Su Mou didn't dare," Mei Changsu spread his hands and smiled, "Master Xia sat in the hanging mirror department, the iron face is fair, everyone is respected, how can Su Mou be a good questioner, but just chatting, Suddenly thinking of King Jing, I talked here.

Please do n’t blame Xia. "

"Mr. Su is a sergeant, how could he suddenly be interested in Jing Jing, who has always been far away from the court?"

Mei Changsu's eyes rolled slightly, and said, "In front of Master Xia, the Ming people don't tell secret words.

A prince like Jing Jing who has high martial arts, can lead troops, and has no threat to his enemies. Whoever can pull him to his banner will be a strong help? "

Xia Dong stared at him for a while, and suddenly he laughed in the sky, and the tears came out.

"Why, Su Mou's words are funny?"

"Aren't you funny?" Xia Dong gently wiped tears from the corners of her eyes and sat back on her body again. "Even if you are a unicorn, you can check and balance the world. Even if you have the biggest help in the palm of your hand, there are countless eyes around you. It's a pity. You can find out the past and the past, and you ca n’t find the hearts of people after all. "

"Not exactly? King Jing was suppressed by His Majesty, and the concubine had no special favors in the palace. Even if he didn't want to add Zunhua again, he should make a decision early in the future when he wanted to use it.

If this is the case, wait for the dust to settle in the future, I'm afraid that there will be no time to serve. "

Xia Dong sneered and said, "It really is the advice of a strategist. It only talks about the pros and cons of the situation, regardless of people's hearts.

I dare not say anything else, but dare to assert here that no matter whether the prince you assist in the future is a prince or honorary king, you will never be able to take Jing Jing to any of them. "

"Oh?" Mei Changsu tweeted slightly, "Master Xia is so sure? The unawareness is changing, and the people's hearts will naturally change. Jing Jing has been depressed for many years. If there is a good opportunity, I am afraid that it will not be flat. Have you? "

Xia Dong slightly skimmed his lips and turned his head, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic again.

Although she was not loyal, King Xiao Jingyan has been stubborn and stubborn for many years, but at least his affection for his elder brother Qi Wang and friend Lin Shu is extremely sincere and deep. He never tried to draw a line because of fear of being implicated, which made Xia Dong in There was a trace of respect in his heart, so he was slightly disgusted with Su Zhe's cold speculation and no longer talked about it.

But Mei Changsu's chest warmed softly because of her reaction.

Although the purpose of his remarks just now was just to mislead the pendulum envoy and make her think that all her future interactions with Jing Wang are to attract and calculate, so that she will not pay more attention, you can see that the position is clear It was Xia Dong on the opposite side of King Qi and Lin. He couldn't bear to speak badly about what King Jing did in these years. Naturally, he was still moved.

Xiao Jingyan's twelve years of perseverance and forbearance, no matter how much injustice and indifference he faced, he was unwilling to soften his back and took the initiative to ask his father and emperor to kneel for guilt.

He is a prestigious general in the army. As long as he said a little, both the crown prince and the emperor will be very willing to accept him as a wing; he is a full-fledged adult prince of Jingbian. Will not be hard-hearted for many years of indifference, meritorious service.

However, all these seemingly easy actions are not like him. He just silently accepted the orders, rushing between the battlefields, occasionally having leisure time, most of the time only in his own palace and outside the military barracks. Pan Huan, away from the imperial power center, is willing not to be valued by the government and the opposition, only for a little bit of indignation in his heart, and hatred is difficult.

However, it is precisely such Jingjing Jingyan, who is the best friend of the former Marshal Chi Yan, and is the future monarch who Mei Changsu is ready to support today.

Jiang Zuomeng's suzerain's calm and deep eyes swept across the dark sky, and looked at the thin bright line in the thick and thick twilight.

For the sake of King Jing, to pull in all the forces that can be used, the Mu House in Yunnan no longer needs to bother, and the next one is to use Xia Dong.

At that time, the red flame forward general Nie Feng, who was arrogant and heroic, was sent to the death place because of the malicious insult of the coach. The whole army was surrounded and the bones were incomplete.

This conclusion is a thorn in the hearts of all Niebu's survivors, and it is also the source of Xia Dong's hatred.

The handsome Tan Lang who handed him off, returned a piecemeal stump, half a blood robe.

Even though the teacher's prestige is famous, even if the hanging mirror makes everyone awed by identity, it is difficult for her to be isolated in front of the Qingming grave year after year, looking around in a daze.

Such a heart-wrenching pain, a bone-cutting hatred, but how to tell her not to complain, how not to hate?

This puzzled, Suspension Mirror Division will always be the enemy of Lin.

It's just that the old case has already been finalized. Although Xia Jiang, the first suspended mirror, has been hidden, he is still alive. It is not easy to untie this old **** knot.

Only today's plan can only be slow.

"I heard that Lord Xia had been attacked in the suburbs of Beijing?" Mei Changsu smiled and mentioned another topic. "Jing Rui came back with a wound on that day, and the Houfu was shocked by the ups and downs. Seek medical treatment, but it ’s a trouble for the dogs ... I wonder if the adult ’s injury is better? "

"What's the point of the boy being hurt? Princess Chang is too spoiled for the child." Xia Dong said indifferently. "My injury is not serious. It's already gone. Mr. Lau asked."

"However, the new injuries are beginning to heal, and there are always obstacles between actions.

Only my family is impolite, please forgive me. "

When he took off, Xia Dong's eyes passed by the enthusiasm of the warrior, and said, "The guards are truly well-deserved. I lost today, but I am also convinced.

But please don't let him relax. I have been defeated but not discouraged in my hanging mirror door. Xia Dongri's logistics and training will come, and I will come to discuss it again. "

Mei Changsu smiled silently, as if not worried.

Fei Liu was limited by his mind, but instead he had no doubts. He also practiced when he was playing. For him, practicing is just playing. In addition, his martial arts qualifications are good. Even if he is twice as diligent, the average person can hardly keep up with his speed.

Xia Dong drank the rest of the tea from the cup, put it back on the table, and stood up and said, "Today I was disturbed.

Entrusted by Mr., he will do his best.

What you want to do in the future is also your own business.

However, Xia Dong still has to warn him first. Even if the gentleman has all-round wrists, please do not touch the French Open.

Otherwise, the hanging mirror will be on the mirror, and the sword will be on the ground, just afraid that Mr. "

"Adult Xia's kind words, you should always remember them." Mei Changsu stood up and gave him a smile, Yan Yan smiled, "Adult is so kindly told, Su dare not to vote for Tao Li? So there is also a warning to send: loyalty may not be loyal, **** is not necessarily Adultery, I think it is not only a dynasty, but also accessible to the rivers and lakes. It can drive the dead killer without traces. How many people can be? "

Xia Dong's heart shook, Huo Ran turned around, but saw the other party's face light and calm, as if what he had just said was just a common word.

Facing her questioning eyes, Mei Changsu didn't mean any more explanation. The green shirt lifted slightly and walked in the front to lead the way away. The words in the mouth fluttered and said, "Please adults, please walk slowly." language.

Xia Dong officially started teaching at the age of 20. After 17 years of hanging mirrors, she didn't know how many serious cases she encountered in her career, so she only needs one sentence to point out the direction of her tracing.

Fei Liu's figure flickered between the branches next to it, and appeared beside Mei Changsu. Although he was expressionless, the expression in his eyes clearly made him happy that the guest was finally leaving.

Xia Dong looked back at his handsome face, and suddenly his feet stagnated, and a sense of tiredness flooded his heart.

A big case in hand has not yet been tried, and the turbulence in the capital is even more prosperous, as if it is going to sweep through everything, making people feel powerless to resist or even avoid.

Xia Dong felt that at this time, he needed Nie Feng's arms more than ever.
