Chapter 4: Mending the Sky (seven strokes) For Hong Fu, the blood-stained feather arrow placed in front of her at this moment is not unfamiliar at all. The position above the tail feather of the arrow is carefully engraved with the word "Li".
She had become familiar with this habit many years ago. The person she had always admired said that only in this way would others know that it was her who hit the target, and they would not deliberately cover up the credit.
Hongfu also knew very well that Li Jing placed great importance on fame and fame. Otherwise, she would not have passed by the place where he took office every time for more than ten years, but she would not dare to walk over and ask if the promise she made that night was
It still works. She always remembers that she is a singer and a runaway slave. Once her past is exposed, it will not only endanger her own safety, but also damage Li Jing's reputation. Therefore, she would rather wait for the day when Li Jing's ability can ignore the harm of rumors.
, when Li Jingzhen becomes famous, he can find an opportunity to secretly marry her and become his wife or concubine. At least, she can watch him smile with high spirits every day and guide the country with high spirits.
But what she was waiting for was an armor-piercing awl. If Sun Hua hadn't sacrificed his life to save him, Hong Fu knew that the person who would be shot through the neck would be herself. But she was not grateful at all to the dead Sun Hua.
After one meeting, he circled around her endlessly like a fly. Regardless of whether she was willing to accept it or not, he vowed to protect her for the rest of his life. Now, he has fulfilled his promise with his life, but pushed her into an extremely embarrassing situation.
An extremely painful position
Almost all of her colleagues regarded her as Sun Hua's widow. They carefully protected her and tolerated her. They promised over and over again that after the city was defeated, the Sui general who had shot someone with cold arrows would be caught in front of her and she would be punished by her.
She personally avenged the Duke of Wuxiang County, but she didn't care who the sadness on her face was for, or whether she had hatred in her heart for the person who shot the cold arrow.
Is there any? When she was quietly silent in her sorrow, Hongfu asked herself. To be honest, she couldn't feel any hatred for Li Jing in her heart now. It was a battlefield where the two armies fought, and they stood under different flags.
For a qualified general to fight, he can try any means that can lead to victory for his side, and there is no need to worry about conscience and morality. Moreover, Li Jing has been waiting hard for nearly twenty years to find an opportunity to get ahead. If he
If he can help the defenders defeat the 200,000-plus rebels, he will soon be able to join the ranks of important ministers of the Sui Dynasty as he wishes. For the sake of a little personal relationship with his children, he gave up the opportunity to become famous only once in more than 20 years.
How many people in the world can do this?
Although she could find countless reasons for the other person's behavior, her heart became increasingly empty. Perhaps deep down in her heart, every woman hopes that her husband will be a hero. At the same time, they also hope that they will be admired in their husband's heart.
She values everything more important than the other person!' Thinking like this, she couldn't help but despise her little daughter's thoughts. She was a woman who had been drifting in the world for ten years, but she still saw the world and people in such a simple way. This is human life.
How can a guy who loves his children survive in such troubled times? If there is, it must still be a legendary existence, and the legend cannot last long.
"But Sun Hua died for you after all!" Another voice quickly sounded in his heart, as hot as a slap in the face. Dr. Zuo Guanglu, Wuxiang County Duke, and Grand Administrator Feng Yi. This series of titles is definitely better than a certain person.
The fame that these people have not yet achieved is much heavier, but when Sun Hua put aside everything and rushed in front of her, he almost didn't hesitate to see the tip of the arrow coming out from the front of his neck. He actually had the intention to treat her naively.
Smiling as if this was the only way to prove that what he said to her in public in the past was not just to take advantage of words. He was serious about it, and he really wanted to take her home. He was serious about it.
I hope to share all the happiness and pain with her
That annoying and unforgettable smile has disappeared for five days in Hong Fu's memory, but it is as clear as if it happened at a moment in the past. Sometimes, she really wished that she was the one who was shot and killed. Maybe Li Jing's
She will always have a place in my heart. Regardless of guilt or regret, she will never be forgotten in her life. Just like she can't get rid of Sun Hua's shadow now, she is irritable and confused.
The shouts of killing outside were loud, one after another like a storm. The offensive and defensive battle had reached a critical moment, and both the rebels and the defenders were at the end of their tether. Maybe in the next moment, Chang'an City, which carried many of her memories, would be breached. She
Li Jing and Li Jing will meet again in front of the Duke's Mansion of Chu State where they fled together. Perhaps the rebel army will be exhausted and defeated, and then be killed by Qu Tutong's troops who are rushing to help Chang'an and the Sui army who came out of Chang'an City.
The flanking attack, turning all dreams into illusory fragments, these things are no longer important to her. She originally followed Li Waner to ask for help in finding Li Jing and change her own origin so that she would not dishonor the honor of the Li Jing family when she got married. But now,
She already knew the whereabouts of Li Jing, and the "dowry" that she had not received yet was completely meaningless.
Now that everything has lost its original meaning, Hongfu doesn't want to be nostalgic anymore. She plans to wait until Sun Hua's first seven years are over, then she will ask Wan'er to resign and lead the Women's Army on the third right, leaving the seal of General Xuanwei from the fourth rank to someone more suitable.
person, and then find a quiet place to live an ordinary life. As for her final destination, she has not found it yet. But for her who has been drifting in the world for ten years, this is not a difficulty.
Another burst of cheers came from outside the military tent, very short, and it was stuck in the middle of the throat almost as soon as it was uttered, followed closely by another sigh, then angrily, scolding, and finally, a burst of gongs ended all the noise.
"He won another round!" Hong Fu's mouth twitched, revealing a wry smile. She was already very familiar with the rhythm outside. The same regret was repeated almost every day. Li Jing won a round, which meant that the Detachment of Women lost a round.
For the generals on both sides, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong.
"That guard is so despicable. He conscripted many people who don't know how to fight to the top of the city!" This was Wang Yuantong's voice. Only he continued to speak loudly before passing by Sun Hualing, as if he was afraid that the people lying in the coffin would be
As if he was too concerned about the battle situation and sat up again
"Keep your voice down, don't make too much noise!" The one who was scolding Wang Yuantong was Qi Po Ning. He still retained the habit he had in Wangwushan, calling Hong Fu directly instead of being a bit flirtatious like the others.
Muti her stage name
"Aren't I anxious? If we spend one more day here, Xuzi will have to suffer another day!" Wang Yuantong was very unconvinced, but he still tried his best to lower his voice. "After all, we are all brothers, and the sky will not fall."
Let him carry it alone!"
"It would be great if General Li was here. With his archery skills, how can we allow the enemy general in the tower to be arrogant!" The third speaker's voice was low, but with a very unwilling tone. This was also a person who had been in the city tower.
Li Xu had served under Li Xu for a long time, so he instinctively compared the sharpshooters in the city with those he admired.
"Nonsense, when it comes to bravery, who can compare to our Xuzi!" Wang Yuantong concluded proudly again, as if Li Xu was by his side
Then everyone closed their mouths in unison, dragging heavy footsteps away, then the whispers of Li Waner and her recruits, getting closer and closer. Finally, the tent door was opened, and the winter sunshine and cold wind rushed in, blowing
The silence inside is broken
Seeing Hongfu still maintaining the same posture as before going out in the morning, Wan'er's eyes showed obvious pity. She also studied the "streaming arrow" that shot Sun Hua to death. With a woman's intuition, she carved the arrow on the arrow shaft.
The last name corresponded to the person Hong Fu was looking for. Although she did not spread the news, Wan'er felt deeply for Hong Fu's sadness. She thought that being abandoned by her man at the critical moment was already unbearable in the world.
He was hit hard, but he didn't expect that compared to Li Jing's ruthless determination, his husband Chai Shao could be regarded as a "coward" who was greedy for his wife and children. At least, he knew how to discuss it with himself before running away alone, even though the result of the discussion had long been achieved.
Behind his smile
"How is the battle going?" Hongfu didn't want to be the object of pity. He sat up slightly and asked in a low voice.
"Sister, I should go out more often and always be so bored. I'm afraid it's not good for your health!" Wan'er knew that Hongfu just wanted to change the subject, so she smiled and warned with concern.
"It's okay! Thank you for your concern, sister!" Hong Fu shook his head gently, with a smile like a frosted chrysanthemum, "It's rare that I have time to calm down and rationalize my thoughts. Sitting in the tent these days, I understand a lot that I didn't understand before.
matter!"
"Looking at you, how do you look like a person who has figured it out?" Wan'er sighed secretly in her heart, but the smile on her face became more and more relaxed, "It's okay if you don't feel bored, but I can't. I'm most afraid of being alone."
In the house, I have never looked like a girl since I was a child, and I like to deal with swords all day long!"
Speaking of this, she used the firelight in the charcoal basin to look at her thumbs. There were thick calluses on the pads of her index fingers and the palms of her hands. At a glance, she could tell that it was caused by holding the horse's reins and holding the knife.
The hands may not be gentle, but they can hold one's destiny firmly in the palm of one's own hands
"People say that my sister is the best woman in the world!" Hong Fu smiled and compared Wan'er to the earliest female general in history.
"I'm just being bold, how can I be compared with the ancient sages and sages!" Wan'er shook her head with a smile.
"The ancient sages and sages are just legendary figures. In fact, they may not be true! But in the future history, no matter whether the author is willing or not, he will have to cover up his sister's name!" Hongfu looked into Wan'er's eyes and said sincerely
praise
"If you want, sister, you can always stay with me. Let's make great achievements together. Anyway, our team is called the Detachment of Women. If I, Li Erniang, have my position, you, Zhang Chuchen, will have your position!" Wan'er saw that the sadness in Hongfu's eyes faded slightly,
She quickly struck while the iron was hot and kept Hong Fu by her side. In the past few months, she handled military affairs and government affairs with great ease. First, because she had an equally generous woman as her companion, and she could whisper when she was lonely. Second, many men in the army wanted to be with her.
Hong Fu showed his performance in front of him. Many tasks were not assigned to her as the coach, but she rushed to do them. Therefore, no matter how evil Li Jing was in the city, Wan'er hoped to keep Hong Fu in the Detachment of Women. At this position, she no longer wanted to do it.
In the same way that you need to be attached to a man, Hongfu will not need to be someone else’s vassal in the future.
Hearing the encouragement in Wan'er's words, Hong Fu was very grateful, but did not intend to accept the other party's arrangement. After some hesitation, she decided to say hello to her good sisters in advance, "I will prepare to leave after Master Sun is buried!"
"
Wan'er didn't expect that all her hard work would lead to such a result, and she was stunned, "Where are you going?" She blurted out and asked, "In this time of war and chaos, you are a girl..." Halfway through her words, she said
Suddenly realizing that he was not facing an ordinary weak woman, he smiled, softened his voice, and continued: "If you leave, don't leave too hastily. At least think about your destination first, so that everyone won't worry about you.
!”
"I want to go to Zhongjian to see Brother Zhongjian!" Hong Fu didn't have an answer in his heart, but he suddenly realized where to go. "He definitely needs help over there. We are all friends, and we can't let the sky fall and leave him alone."
People go to the top!"
As she spoke, she saw obvious alertness in Wan'er's eyes, but soon, this alertness was replaced by understanding and tolerance. "It's okay, anyway, after Chang'an is broken, the Li family will send troops to join hands with Zhongjian to fight against the Turks."
Let’s all be the leaders of the army and have a good fight with the wolf cavalry!”
"I think, I want to leave alone!" Hongfu felt a little embarrassed after repeatedly rejecting the other party's kindness, but she tried her best to look strong. "Sister, do me a favor, don't disturb too many people, I want to
Walk slowly alone and wait until I arrive. My sister’s Women’s Army is probably arriving soon..."
Looking at Hong Fu's weak and determined eyes, Wan'er knew that she couldn't refuse, "That's fine!" She sighed again, being very considerate of the other person's difficulties. "Li, if you do bad things, you will definitely get retribution."
If you don't see him, you won't have to be soft-hearted!"
"To be honest with my sister, if Li Jing surrendered voluntarily when he saw Tang Gong's army, he would no longer be the Li Jing I know." Hongfu shook his head slightly, his words still filled with appreciation.
Wan'er gently stroked her friend's head, her eyes full of pity again, "Silly sister, at this time, you still say good things for him?" If you really let go, you shouldn't care about the other person's life or death at all, but Hong Fu still treats the other person's behavior
Find a reason, even if she almost died under the opponent's arrow
But Li Jing had to die not only for Sun Hua's revenge, but there were also several things Wan'er didn't want to tell Hong Fu face to face. After careful investigation, she found out who informed the court before the Li family's incident, led people to raid the Li mansion, and eradicated the old, weak, women and children.
, and the person who came up with the idea to dig up the Li family's ancestral graves, all vaguely point to the same person.
"There are some rumors. I have vaguely heard about the methods he used in the past few days. As an old official of the Sui Dynasty, it may not be really wrong! But his talent, my sister has also seen it with her own eyes. If it is used to make a long history, I am afraid it will be terrible.
Let the army under Duke Tang be even more powerful!" Knowing that Wan'er would be very angry if she said this, Hongfu decided to tell the truth, "In your eyes, sister, Duke Tang is slandering the people and crusading. In the eyes of my little sister, standing under the banner of the Yang family and
Standing under the Li family is all for fame and wealth, as the saying goes, everyone is their own master, there is no difference between noble and despicable!"
After saying that, she looked at the carved feathers next to her again, as if she understood all the men in the world in an instant.
