After Xie Jue said that he had a hidden illness, there was a moment of silence at the banquet. He stood up and toasted the generals with a drink before leaving the table. The old generals looked at the jade-like back of the second young master, and they all aimed in a certain direction uncontrollably.
The man said that he had a hidden illness, and he said it so calmly. He was worthy of being a second master, fearless. There was really no one else in the world that he cared about.
After Xie Jue left the field, Xie Xunuan came back. Several generals could not drink him in a round-robin battle, and he drank down a row of generals. The organizers of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival also knew it well, and there was no singing or dancing. It was more like an ordinary family banquet, which was fun and enjoyable.
Drinking wine and eating large pieces of meat. After three rounds of drinking, the scene was very relaxed.
General Cui had the courage to ask, "Your Majesty, is it true that the Second Young Master... is ill?"
Xie Xun, "...Maybe he was injured when he was in the Northern Barbarians."
He couldn't bring trouble to his second brother, and he had to find ways to make up for him.
"The Northern Barbarians are really beasts!"
Xie Xun, "..."
I don’t think I mean that either!!!
General Zhou was probably drunk, and he cried out the name of the Marquis of Zhenbei with tears, and said to Xie Xun sincerely, "The burden of continuing the bloodline lies with the prince, and he will marry the third girl in a year.
Two hugs a year."
Xie Xun thought with an expressionless face, he is very drunk!
After three rounds of drinking, he talked nonsense about anything. Xie Xun had a special physique. He could drink a thousand cups without pouring out. Even if he drank until he was tipsy, the smell of the wine would disappear as soon as the wind blew. After the banquet was over, when he was about to leave, he asked Fei
Ying, "Where is my second brother?"
"The second young master seems to have gone hiking."
Xie Xun frowned slightly. When he spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in the military camp in the first year, the border ceased war and the festive atmosphere in Ningzhou City was strong. It happened that Feng Shu came to Ningzhou to deliver grain, and Xie Zhang went to Ningzhou City to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with her. The Marquis wanted to
During the festival with a group of military generals, the fourteen-year-old young Marquis was young and unruly and did not want to have fun with a group of uncle-general generals. So when his eldest brother was not around, he went to look for his second brother, but he searched all over the military camp but could not find Xie Jue.
He thought Xie Jue had also gone to Ningzhou City to play, so he went to look for him excitedly. He searched for him all night but didn't see Xie Jue. Later he heard that he and Fang Chuning had gone hiking in the mountains.
"Second brother, I will accompany you when you go mountain climbing during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I also like mountain climbing."
"good!"
His second brother promised to climb mountains with him during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he never fulfilled his promise. What a liar!!
The highest mountain in Ningzhou is in the north of the city, called Lianhua Peak. It is a group of peaks. There is a natural landscape on the top of the mountain. The rocks look like lotus flowers from a distance, so it is named Lianhua Peak. Lianhua Peak and Shaling Tianshan Mountain face each other far away. Standing on the peak, you can see the north
Qianling Town, a very important town, Yan Yanghe promised to build a city, just in front of Qianling Town.
King Kang sent Princess Huazhen to get married and returned to the capital. Now she is imprisoned in Ningzhou City. The Northern Barbarians have not received news of the Yanyang mutiny. General Cui almost turned over Ningzhou City and finally discovered the waterway of the moat, which was completely blocked.
Waiting for the opportunity, they also captured several northern barbarians who were stranded in Ningzhou.
The Northern Barbarian Royal Court has not yet received news from Yanyang. A few days ago, it sent someone to summon that 30,000 red sand mines will be transported to the battle site after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Xie Xun personally went to hand over the goods. Yanyang promised to build an important town and mutual market.
After Xie Jue and Xie Xun discussed it, they still planned to abide by the agreement and build an important town to communicate with each other. The construction of a city could take as short as two years or as long as five years.
, news is blocked, the Northern Barbarian Royal Court now cares more about domestic production and rest, and does not pay as much attention to Yanyang as it did during the war.
He rode up the mountain and saw Xie Jue's shadow guards when he reached the top of the mountain.
"Where's the second brother?"
"Master is asleep!"
Xie Jue fell asleep leaning on a rock, holding a wine bottle in his hand.
The pitch-black wine pot and the white hand bones are as crystal clear as jade, dry and steady.
It was hot in August. Xie Jue was covered with a cloak and his face was as white as snow. Xie Jue's eyelashes were thick and straight, like a small fan quietly covering his eyelids, casting a thin layer of shadow. Xie Jue looked up at the horizon, and the full moon was hidden.
In the clouds, a thin light suddenly appeared, it was almost dawn!
Xie Xun lifted up his robe and sat next to Xie Jue. During the long night during the Mid-Autumn Festival, longing was like a cancer adsorbed in the bone marrow, causing a dull pain.
"Brother!" Xie Jue seemed to be dreaming about something. His body twitched suddenly and he shouted "Brother". The wine bottle fell away and rolled down the cliff. Xie Jue leaned forward to comfort him. Xie Jue was drunk and could not wake up from his deep sleep.
A nightmare seemed to pass lightly, but it stirred up a storm in Xie Xun's heart. He recalled the scene of Xie Zhang being pierced by thousands of arrows on a rainy night in Kyoto.
That day he spoke harshly to his second brother.
The second brother said, you are not the only one who has lost your parents and siblings.
That killing took root in their hearts, nourishing vicious dreams and flowers, which lingered over the years, entangled in every possible way, but they were still happy with them.
In the future Mid-Autumn Festival, they can only reunite with their families in their dreams.
"A Ning..." Xie Jue called out to Fang Chuning in haste and panic. He suddenly woke up from his blood-colored dream and leaned forward involuntarily. Xie Jue held his arm and pulled him back.
"Second brother!"
Xie Jue had a splitting headache. He didn't know if it was a hangover or a dream. His expression was extremely bad. Xie Jue asked, "What did the second brother dream about?"
"The night I dreamed about Kyoto, Fang Chuning and I were facing each other..." Xie Jue said, "I stabbed him through the chest with a sword."
Xie Xun didn't expect Xie Jue to answer. His second brother rarely talked about his feelings with others. Even with his eldest brother, he might not reveal his feelings. He didn't expect that he would really talk about what happened in his dream. No wonder the second brother would be so panicked.
Xie Jue frowned and looked at him subtly, not sure whether Xie Xun was comforting him or not.
He pinched his brows irritably, revisiting old places, but it was easy to think of old friends. This night was too long, and it made him despair.
"Second brother, the sun has risen!"
Xie Jue followed his gaze and saw a red sun jumping out from behind the mountains.
The fireworks in the world are swaying in the light, and love, hatred and hatred are indulged in the dark night.
This was not the first time for Xie Jue to watch the sunrise here. In previous years, he was accompanied by Fang Chuning. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the entire army took a break and had half a day of free time. They slept in the mountains, pillowed on the mountains and rivers, admiring the moon and watching the sunrise, feeling happy and free.
Days like this will never happen again.
"Next year's Mid-Autumn Festival, you can take me to climb the mountain together."
"good!"
Xie Xun was satisfied and didn't ask him who he saw in his dream or what he was dreaming about. After the two of them admired the sunrise, they walked down the mountain slowly. Xie Xun inevitably talked about the garrison in Zhongzhou.
"What does the commander mean? By letting Fang Chuning garrison Zhongzhou, is he planning to use troops against us?" Xie Xun asked. After Fang Chuning garrisoned, he went to Yancheng to stay for a few days, but Zhongzhou had no intention of sending troops.
"Are you worried that you can't beat him?"
"Are you kidding? As long as I take action, Zhongzhou will be vulnerable."
Xie Jue couldn't help laughing, "Stop bragging."
"Second brother, do you think I can't beat him?" Xie Xun asked unhappily. He always felt that his second brother favored Fang Chuning.
"With me here, you can win against anyone!"
Xie Xun was comforted inexplicably. Xie Jue said, "The third girl sent a letter the day before yesterday, saying that the situation in Xizhou is stable. Lin Xiao and Zhang Boxing should come back soon. The grain and horse road should be repaired as soon as possible. The grain and horse road should be repaired before winter."
"I know!" Xie Xun is now mainly responsible for city defense, troop training and the construction of food and horse roads. As Xie Xun walked, he remembered what Xie Jue said at the banquet. His second brother had not been close to women since he was a child. Could it be that... Xie Xun
I didn't know what tolerance was when I was young, "Second brother, do you really have a hidden disease?"
Xie Jue paused and looked at him deeply.
Xie Xun's scalp was numb due to his cold and clear gaze. Xie Jue took a deep breath and patted Xie Xun's shoulder sincerely, "Yes, it's up to you to continue the family lineage."
