After marrying Bai Yueguang, the little wolf dog turned into a scumbag

Chapter 77 The Battle of Jiangling

Jiang Mengzhen sat on the swing in the garden of the Hou Mansion. He remembered that when he was a child, he always begged his father to push the swing very high, as if he wanted to fly to the sky. The small ground swayed, and the child didn't know how to be afraid. When he grew up, he seemed to lose the courage to swing to high places, because he had tasted the pain and began to deliberately protect himself from getting hurt.

Footsteps came from the path of flowers covered by sparse bamboos. The soldiers of the Xuanjia Battalion were all stationed in the outer courtyard and would not enter the inner house. Jiang Mengzhen thought it was Biyan who came, so he didn't turn his head. The footsteps stopped behind him. Jiang Mengzhen turned back with a smile and said, "Don't bother me, I'm afraid of falling..."

He stopped suddenly, and Qi Heju seemed to be afraid of scaring him, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, if you fall, I will catch you."

Jiang Mengzhen still shook his head, but Qi Heju didn't insist. He turned to the front of Jiang Mengzhen and stood not far from the swing frame. The two were silent for a while, and Jiang Mengzhen said again after a long while. : "Tomorrow, are you fully prepared?"

"A hundred elite soldiers have entered the city in batches. The convoy will leave the city at noon tomorrow, and we will be able to celebrate before dinner."

"A sword has no eyes, and you have to be careful in everything." Jiang Mengzhen paused, and pointed to the veranda not far away, "When I was young, my father raised an eagle there, and sometimes he took it out hunting, and caught the rabbit. To be sure, everyone said it was mighty and mighty. My father’s friends came to my house to see it. I still remember that they held a poetry meeting and wrote poems and odes for this eagle..." Qi He Zhe didn't know why he brought up these things, so he just listened quietly. He just wanted to stay by Jiang Mengzhen's side for a while, no matter what Jiang Mengzhen said, it sounded like Lunyin Buddha's words in his ears.

"I was studying poetry at that time. My father called me over and ordered me to write a poem. I saw the eagle with half-closed eyes and chains on its feet. I felt that it was supposed to soar thousands of miles, but it was restrained. Ji Shu was so pitiful, so he wrote a Qilu poem with such a purpose, and after his father read it, he let the eagle go on the spot." Jiang Mengzhen looked at Qi Heju, and said slowly: "I feel now, You are very similar to that eagle. There is a saying in the poem: Eagle wings are as fast as the wind, and eagle claws are as sharp as cones. It was originally designed by birds, but now it is funded by people...so the claws and wings are powerful, but people sit and harvest them You went to kill the enemy and desperately, and I took advantage of it. The military salary seemed to be a chain that tied you up. I held this chain and made you feel indebted to me all the time. In fact... In fact, I left Qi Mansion At that time, all the money and utensils on my body could not be earned by ordinary people in a lifetime, so that I can spend this life without worrying about food and clothing, so you don’t have to keep thinking about that. You said that what you hate the most is to coerce Repaying kindness, what is the difference between what I am doing now and repaying kindness?"

Qi Heju never expected that he would say this, it was the Xuanjia army who took the initiative to find Jiang's siblings, and Jiang Mengzhen never asked him to do anything, how could it be regarded as repaying favor?These four words are never used between them anyway, not to mention that Qi Hexi asked himself that it was not an eagle, but a puppy chasing Jiang Mengzhen.The eagle’s eyes are looking at the sky, but the dog’s eyes are only for the owner. The immature cub barks “Wow” to arouse the owner’s idea. The loyal dog guards the house in front of the gate after being sensible It was hard to prove to Jiang Mengzhen that he was useful, but Jiang Mengzhen untied his chain as if letting go of the eagle.

"Mengzhen, do you know where that eagle will fly to? No matter how ferocious a bird is, it can't keep flying in the sky, it will fly back to its nest." Qi He looked at Jiang Mengzhen sitting on the swing anxiously , slowly said: "You must have seen the wolfhounds and hounds that Hou Ye led on a hunting trip. Those dogs are also chained, but even if the chains are loosened, those dogs will not leave their masters. The chains are only for Control them so as not to hurt people. Birds fly back to their hometowns, foxes die on their heads, and all kinds of hearts in the world are home. Dream pillow, your home is here, but where is my home? It's in the capital Is that the Qi mansion that looks like a quagmire?"

Jiang Mengzhen couldn't answer. The Qi Mansion seemed to be the place where Qi Heju grew up. It lacked the love and warmth of home for him from the beginning to the end. "Wan Yunxuan used to be my home. , when you are by my side, I have a home, and when you leave, I have no home." Qi Heju said in a low voice, and briefly mentioned a few things about Jiang Mengzhen after he left Beijing, "I and the Qi family The relationship has been severed, and Qi Shangshu voted for the third prince, thinking that he would be able to fly to the top. Later, Di Bing went to the city to burn, kill and loot. He ran to the Qingzhou camp in embarrassment and begged me to lead the troops to protect the Qi mansion. I refused to go. He was in Outside the gate, I was scolded for being unfilial, and I was beaten out by the sergeant. After you left, I never stepped into the Qi Mansion. It is not my home, nor my relatives. For the past three years, I have been a lonely soul in the world. Wild ghost, I can't tell why you are fighting around, I just think, if the number of people in the team fights less and less, all you lose will be your dowry, so I worked hard to fight and grow the Xuanjia army... Mengzhen, you are indeed holding a chain in your hand, but please don't let it go. I couldn't protect you in the back house before, and I couldn't compete with you outside. Now I can finally do something for you What, if you let me go, I will really be an eagle that can’t return to its nest, a dog that has lost its home, and no hope at all—Mengzhen, I’ve often thought about it for the past three years, how could you have feelings for me? ? What do you like about me? I kept saying that I liked you since I was 12 years old, but what have I done for you?"

The love Qi Heju received from childhood was conditional. Master Qi only regarded him as his son when he was "useful". This was true even for the last time the father and son saw each other. The same was true for Aunt Zhou. When he was young, he didn't care much. When he became an official and had money, Qi Heli became the "Second Young Master" that she was proud of. After all, it was just to coax him to get some benefits.Therefore, Qi Heju's lifelong wish is to become "useful" in front of Jiang Mengzhen. If he has been "useless", he will be panicked like a bereaved dog and extremely uneasy. Although the two of them have been together for three years Husband and wife, but they always have many misunderstandings, each has their own worries, and they speak in half-concealed ways. There are very few heart-to-heart conversations like this. Only then did Jiang Mengzhen know that Qi Heju felt that he had done nothing for him. So I don't deserve to be liked by him, but Jiang Mengzhen's feelings for him are precisely without any conditions.

"It turns out that you have always thought this way... If I were to tell you the reason why I liked you at that time, I can't tell you why. I just want you to accompany me every day, and I feel very good when you are by my side. If I can tell a certain reason, for example, because you are handsome, so if I meet someone who is more handsome than you, should I like him? I don’t think feelings are like that, there will always be conditional things I was disillusioned because of a better choice. At that time, I married you and fell in love with you. You were my only choice. No one can compare with you..." Jiang Mengzhen lowered her eyes and said again : "I don't need you to do anything for me. The matter in the back house is a matter between brothers and sisters. I chose the wrong path and failed to protect myself. If I had known today, I should have fought in the first place." Fighting with them mentally, and giving in blindly only feeds their appetite, after all, I am too weak in dealing with things."

"What's more, you saved my life in the cold pool. At that time, your height was only up to my shoulders. I really can't figure out how you saved me to the shore. You were put alive in the coffin and waited. I don't know how much I have suffered during the three years of studying art in the mountains, and when you came back, I heard that I was going to marry your brother because of saving my life... just this one, you don't owe me anything." Jiang Mengzhen sighed softly, and looked up at the cloudless blue sky in autumn, "The last time you accompanied me back to Jiangling, it was also autumn, that time you gave up for me to take the Yulinwei exam, and now, you gave up Xuanyuan for me. Jia Jun, whether you owe me more or I owe you more is actually not clear at all, it's just a child... we all owe that child."

Qi Heju's internal organs were stirred into a bloody ball by his words. Jiang Mengzhen's gentleness is simply the sharpest knife in the world. This gentle knife is as thin as paper. Heartbroken for it, "I owe the child. You worked so hard to conceive him for seven months, and you don't owe him anything! Mengzhen, don't be so kind to me, I'd rather you hate me..." Qi He He hissed: "You hate me, drive me like a hawk to serve you to the death, even if I die on the battlefield, it's not worth your tears for me!"

The shadow of the sun was slanting to the west, and the setting sun cast a layer of golden light on the figures of the two people. Jiang Mengzhen got up from the top of the swing, walked to Qi Heju and said softly: "Do you know what it means to owe me? If If you really empathize with each other and live together with the murderer who killed our child, then you really owe me and break my heart. I will definitely blame you and hate you, even if it is for my sister and Yu Brother, I will never say another word to you. Even if you die in front of my eyes, I will only applaud. Some things can only be proved by time. There is love for each other, so there is no question of whether you are owed or not... If you die on the battlefield, I will definitely cry for the man I loved, so don't make me feel bad for you anymore. Take care of yourself in battle, okay?"

Although his tone was inquiring, he walked towards the flower path without waiting for Qi Heju's answer. Qi Heju's heart was shaken, and he stared at his back and said loudly: "Tomorrow, will you go see me off?"

Jiang Meng paused at the foot of the pillow, only shook his head and did not reply. Qi He saw him go far away through the flowers and willows, and stood there for a long time with mixed feelings in his heart, before slowly leaving reluctantly.

The next morning, Biyan lifted the bed curtains and saw that Jiang Mengzhen had already woken up, lying on the bed without saying a word, not knowing what she was thinking.On the eve of the battle, Biyan herself slept very restlessly. They didn't go through this, and they all hung their hearts in their throats. If the Xuanjia army was defeated, the Xidi cavalry rushed into the city, waiting for what happened to them Definitely scarier than death.

"Have the people in the front yard set off?"

Bi Yan replied: "Not yet, I'm probably having breakfast."

"Has the veil been delivered?"

"Not yet," Bi Yan said hesitantly, "Young master, do you want to deliver it yourself?"

Jiang Mengzhen looked at the top of the tent in a daze for a while, and then said: "No, you can send it, I don't think about it yet, after they leave, you will come and serve me to wash."

Bi Yan responded, turned around and left.Jiang Mengzhen was lying in a trance, the inner house and the outer courtyard were separated by heavy walls, and he couldn't hear any sound at all. He had the feeling that his days were like years. After some time, Bi Yan walked in again. The Xuanjia Army must have set off.

Jiang Mengzhen changed her clothes, looked at the food on the table but couldn't arouse her appetite at all, Bi Yan persuaded: "Master, at least use it, the spleen and stomach are already weak, so what if you are hungry?"

"I can't eat," Jiang Mengzhen looked out the window and said, "Is there a fight outside the city?"

Bi Yan was also a little apprehensive, "If the two armies are at war, the defenders on the city will probably be able to see it, maybe there is already news in the market..."

"You ask people to inquire, and tell me all the news."

Up to now, Biyan no longer cared about Qi Heju's indignant contempt, simply agreed, and trotted out, Jiang Mengzhenku waited for a while, and suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, he turned his head to look, but It was Jiang Mengyou who walked in with his brows tightly furrowed. He felt a "thump" in his heart, and quickly got up and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you? But the battle is not going well?"

"I don't know the situation outside the city. I just thought that if something happens, we must not fall into the hands of Di Ren..." Jiang Mengyou held his younger brother's fingertips, and the hands of both of them were cold, " This is the place where we grew up. The Jiang family has been honored and honored for generations. His father died for the country, and his mother followed her father with perseverance and courage. Now there are only two siblings left in the Jiang family. People who know propriety, righteousness and shame, if...if Xidi soldiers rush into the city, they take pleasure in rape/plundering, we must not defile the Jiang family's lintel."

Jiang Mengzhen already understood what she was going to say, reached out to hug her trembling body, and said word by word: "Sister, don't worry, Mengzhen understands."

Jiang Mengyou took a deep breath, and took out an exquisite dagger and a small bottle from her arms, and she stuffed the small bottle into Jiang Mengzhen's hand, "This is the highly poisonous crane crest red, it seals the throat when it sees blood, and no pain..."

Jiang Mengzhen refused: "Sister, give me the dagger."

"No," Jiang Mengyou held the dagger tightly, tears fell from the corners of his reddened eyes, "Brother Yu and Sister Zhen must not fall into their hands, if the city is broken and the army is defeated, I will kill them with my own hands." Child, kill yourself again!"

Jiang Mengzhen's heart trembled when he heard that, Jiang Mengyou has always been soft on the outside and strong on the inside, more decisive than him, Jiang Mengzhen's breathing also became rapid, it turned out that every step they took was already on the edge of the cliff, and they were always on the edge of the cliff. They have to consider life and death, stripping away all the lingering thoughts of his reunion with Qi Heju. In fact, what they have to face is extremely cruel and dangerous winners and losers. Poison and daggers may come in handy not only today, but every day in the future One day it is possible to use this to preserve their last dignity and glory.

"It's fighting! It's already fighting outside the city!" Bi Yan ran in, panting, and said, "Words have spread on the street, and many people have rushed to the tower to see it. I heard that the city gate was also captured by the Xuanjia Army." people took over..."

Jiang Mengzhen asked anxiously: "How is the battle going? Who won?"

"I don't know. It's said that the earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking, and the people on both sides have already smashed into a group!"

"Go and inquire again!" Jiang Mengzhen grabbed the poison and jumped wildly in his heart. After a while, Bi Yan ran back and said, "The people outside... said yes, said the cavalry won!"

"Cavalry?" Jiang Mengzhen and his sister looked at each other, and Jiang Mengyou said anxiously: "There are cavalry on both sides. Did the one in iron armor win? Or the one in leather armor?"

Bi Yan shook her head and said she didn't know, then turned around and ran to ask again, Jiang Mengzhen felt her heartbeat sounded like a "thump-thump" beating of a war drum, and after a while, they seemed to hear a faint commotion, several people inside and outside the Jianglinghou's mansion Jin, I don't know how much commotion would have to be made outside before the sound could be transmitted here.

Jiang Mengzhen and Jiang Mengyou walked out involuntarily, and went out of the hanging flower gate of the inner courtyard, and saw the soldiers stationed in the outer courtyard running out with weapons, Jiang Mengzhen's heart was beating fast, at this time Biyan stumbled over , yelling intermittently: "I lost... I lost!"

"What lost? Who lost? The general!"

Bi Yan took a deep breath, covered her chest and said, "Xidi lost, and the armored one won! Qi Er... the general has already returned to the city on horseback!"

Jiang Mengzhen was overjoyed, and ran out of the gate in disregard of etiquette. The closed red lacquer gate of the Hou Mansion was pushed open by the soldiers, and cheers poured in like a flood. People threw fruits and flowers to welcome the victorious army, Qi He He came from a distance with a gun on his horse. He saw Jiang Mengzhen standing at the gate in person, waiting for him to return home as in the old days. satisfy.

He dismounted under the scorching gazes of everyone, walked to Jiang Mengzhen step by step, and said very slowly: "I'm back, you... finally picked me up at the door again."

Jiang Mengzhen's eyes blurred for an instant, he thought, if Qi Heli was still his husband now, he would throw himself into his arms without any shame, brush off the dust on the iron armor for him, and speak softly asked him if he was injured.But Jiang Mengzhen is no longer Qi Heju's husband. He can only stand there and look into those dark eyes, watching his paranoid and naive second young master become the current master who wiped out Di Bing and defended Jiangnan. The hero, slowly showing a gentle and shallow smile.

The author has something to say: Eagle wings are as fast as the wind, and eagle claws are as sharp as cones.It was originally designed by birds, but now it is funded by people...so the claw and wing skills are used by people. ——Bai Juyi

Birds fly back to their hometowns, and foxes must head to the hills when they die. ——Chu Ci
