Frost and snow fall due to wind

It has been a long time since Ye Hanxin realized what it means to live like a year.

As soon as the twelfth lunar month came, the business of the villa was not as much as usual. After sending away a batch of soldiers who had been handed over to the Taiyuan garrison, he was free to feel his pulse, and he was still in a state of vigour.He couldn't use his internal strength, he couldn't lift the heavy sword, and he couldn't pass six or seven moves with the light sword before he started panting. He had to kneel on one knee and barely supported his body with the sword.

"Master Hanxin, please take a break," the old servant Ye Fu was beside him in a hurry, not knowing what to do, "Wait a minute, I'll go invite Miss Pei right now."

"no need."

"...Master?"

"Ask someone to prepare the pen and ink in the study."

Day after day, there was no news of Yan Huifeng, and his colleagues left a day before him and never saw him, so Ye Hanxin insisted on asking someone to inquire again and again, even if it was just to know where he was.Although the remnants of the rebel army were not elite soldiers, they were also aggressive. They contacted other remnants along the way to recruit strong men. It snowballed from 1 people to more than [-], and Daizhou was in crisis again.Desperate, but powerless, Ye Hanxin had no choice but to order the opening of the Yejia granary near Daizhou to support the defenders. Every time he thought of Yan Huifeng, he would go out to check the time, but it was about to pass Just for a moment.

The brush and ink were used to write letters, and to write to Yan Huifeng, a courier was dispatched to Cangyun Castle every day, even though Ye Hanxin didn't even know where Yan Huifeng had gone.It must be because he was afraid that he would really come after him. Yan Huifeng took off his military uniform and changed it nine times out of ten. After leaving Hangzhou, he didn't hear from him at all.Ye Hanxin comforted herself that no news is good news—since I could remember, I never felt that life would be so difficult.

Ye Guanlan stared at yesterday's endgame on the chessboard and said thoughtfully: "Qingchen, do you think Ye Hanxin really fell ill?"

"It's a sickness," Pei Qingchen held up a cup of hot tea with both hands, "Heart disease, a heart disease that even Senior Brother Pei Yuan can't cure."

"Only Big Brother Yan can solve it?"

"It depends on whether Mr. Ye is willing to solve it."

It's a heart disease, more like a heart demon. Ye Hanxin hasn't spoken much for five or six days. He often reads the accounts and writes letters, then sits in front of the window and looks at a broken sword tassel in a trance.The sword spike was given to Yan Huifeng by him before, and he told him half-jokingly and half-seriously that it was a token of love. After Daizhou said goodbye, he had never seen this thing appearing next to Yan Huifeng again. He thought it was lost, or He was thrown to an unknown corner, but he didn't expect that the jade was broken, Yan Huifeng still kept it, and put it under his letter.

I'm afraid that people are like jade, and the broken jade is frowned in pain in the palm of my hand, but I can't bear to let go.

"Brother, Shuai Yan has sent you a letter."

"You see."

"Don't you read it? In case there is...his..."

"He'll be back."

Ye Guanlan lowered his eyes, but the letter was still unopened, and it was placed on the corner of Ye Hanxin's study table, gathering dust with a chess book.The news from the front kept coming. The remnants of Spike Fang desperately resisted, trying to capture Daizhou City like a rolling wheel without stopping. Cangyun Army and Tiance Army suffered heavy losses, and the city was crumbling.Outside the battlefield, no one knew whether Yan Huifeng had been buried in the never-melted snow at Yanmen Pass.

"General Yan, Master Changsun ordered to retreat!"

"Why retreat at this time? Waiting for the rebels to come up? Don't retreat!"

"General Yan, the Tiance Mansion's reinforcements have arrived, if we don't retreat we will lose the chance to retreat..."

"I still don't accept the order of the foreign emperor, and break through to the west. I don't say retreat, and no one is allowed to take a step back."

On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, this is the last battle between Cang Yun and the Spike Army.Yan Huifeng and the other three colleagues led their troops to defend Daizhou. They have fought hard here for thirteen days and nights, and their losses have already reached one-third. However, the Spike Army still has more than [-] soldiers stationed outside the city.Yan Huifeng hasn't closed his eyes for two days, and once Tiance's reinforcements arrive, this desperate battle will finally come to an end.The cold night was long, and the snow was covered with bows and knives. Yan Huifeng's eyes fell on the map in the military tent, and he couldn't help but think of Ye Hanxin.

What is he doing at the moment, really looking at chess records, or reciting the life of drinking and singing songs with his friends in Boss Su's restaurant, or trying to find a way to cure his medicine on the way here .Yan Huifeng smiled wryly, and suddenly heard the sound of horns outside the tent again, and immediately fixed himself, raised his shield knife and rushed out of the tent.

The situation is uncertain, so I dare not talk about the personal relationship of my children.If he is still alive, he will definitely go to see Ye Hanxin as a victor. If the shroud of horse leather is returned, he will live up to Cang Yun, Tang Dynasty, and his family and country in his life.

"Listen to the Wolf Fang Rebels! You are only waiting for more than [-] people. You have been surrounded by our two armies, Cangyun Tiance, and there is no chance of breaking through! Yan Shuai is kind-hearted, and knows that not all soldiers in your army volunteered to fight. If you are willing to surrender , I will let you live, let you disarm and return to the fields, and never hunt down!"

"We will never hunt down soldiers who surrendered their armor and returned to the fields!"

"We will never hunt down soldiers who surrendered their armor and returned to the fields!"

The drums of war were rushing, and the formation was broken. The Spike Army put down their weapons and surrendered after only a little resistance.Yan Huifeng wiped off the blood on his face, and picked the head of the wolf tooth leader on the tip of the knife. The corpses were covered with blood under the horse's hoof, and the unburned flames reflected the cold light of the soldiers of the two armies.

"Reporting to Commander Yan, the siege of Daizhou has been lifted, the wolf teeth are exhausted, the enemy's head has been beheaded, and our army has won a big victory!"

"General, can you..."

"Pass down the order, the army will not stop drinking tonight."

Taking advantage of the soldiers under his command gathering together to celebrate, Yan Huifeng took advantage of the unexpected and went back to his residence, wanting to take a break so he went to pack his luggage.The courier was standing outside the tent, as if he had just arrived, he stepped forward before his breath was steady: "But General Yan Hui Fengyan?"

"It's me," Yan Huifeng opened the curtain and put down his weapon, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Back to the general, Mr. Changsun was worried that the letters from home would affect the morale of the front line, so he seized all your letters in the past few days. There are more than 20 letters. It is said that the day of victory will be handed over to the general."

Yan Huifeng thumped in his heart: "Let it go, I'm sorry."

"Yes. The little one will leave first."

Regardless of being physically and mentally exhausted, Yan Huifeng lit the lamp, and opened the twenty-odd letters one by one to read, without exception, they were all from Ye Hanxin.

"Back to the wind, my love, there is no end in sight, and I don't even give me a chance to say goodbye. I am really unwilling, but I have no complaints. I only wish I could not be with you on the battlefield. It is difficult to solve this hatred. It has become a nightmare. The journey is long. , I hope you cherish it, and look forward to seeing you again in the future."

"Returning to the wind, my love, I haven't seen you for seven days. I don't know if you have arrived at Cangyun Castle. I often hear that Yanmen Pass is full of snow and snow in the twelfth lunar month. I hope you will cherish it. I can't understand the pain of lovesickness, so I use poor painting skills to describe you and me. Send me two small portraits with the letter, don't be disgusted."

"Returning to the wind, my love, it was snowing heavily in Hangzhou today, and I remembered that day when you and I exchanged ideas between plum blossoms. I felt nostalgic for a moment, but I stayed up all night to guard a plum blossom. I was surprised that the meaning of lovesickness was lingering, and I couldn't sleep every night. I miss you every day. I don't see you, I used to think I was just being sentimental, but now I'm thick-skinned, you must miss me a little bit."

"Huifeng, I heard that war will start again on the [-]th. I don't know if this letter will be delivered on time. There are many affairs in the villa. I wish I could spread my wings and go to Cangyun Castle to help the king. It is agreed to be the shield knife in your hand. This is I owe you again, I, Ye Hanxin, never like to be in debt, and I hope you will return from victory as soon as possible."

"Huifeng, I haven't seen you in eighteen days. As the saying goes, one day is like three autumns. It's almost six years since we parted. Xu is secretly happy. Tell me, does this mean that we have spent most of our lives like this? "

……

"Huifeng, if you don't come back, the crabapple in the other courtyard will bloom, and even the crabapple fruit will not be left for you when you come."

"Huifeng, I miss you."

Each letter is shorter than the other, and there are some small things like portraits in the front, and only letter paper is left in the back, but it is a thick pile of love poems copied.In the last letter, it was Ye Hanxin who copied the letter he had left in its entirety and added a few more sentences.

"In Lin'an, it's hard to sleep alone at night, and the broken bridges and monuments are covered with snow.

The painting boat is still warm when the wine is boiled, and the lovesickness is like a broken soul.

Wan Chong's heart talks about parting from hatred, and when the rain falls into a dream, he is always celibate.

The wine, poetry and chess are all there, can you welcome the spring together when you return?

Ye Hanxin. "

Yan Huifeng stared at the letter for a long time, he knew every word, but he felt uncomfortable when he read it together.The exhaustion and drowsiness of the battle were all wiped away by these twenty or so letters. He found letter paper and hurriedly wrote down the battle report to his superiors. Then he put away the letters, closed his eyes and took a nap for less than an hour. Bai, he packed his luggage and prepared to leave for Hangzhou.

Doctor Li was yawning and walking out, when he saw Yan Huifeng leading the horse past him, he suddenly woke up: "Where are you going? You haven't returned to Cangyun Castle to report to you yet!"

"The battle report is on my desk."

"Yan Huifeng, what gust of wind do you draw from the south, east, and north! Are you rushing back to your hometown to marry a wife?!"

Yan Huifeng got on his horse, turned his head and thought for a while: "It's about the same, it's a lifelong event."

"You... hello!"

There was a gust of wind, and the army horses whizzed past. Doctor Li stared dumbfounded at Yan Huifeng's back, and disappeared into the mountains after a while, leaving the horses in the snow.

Chinese New Year is coming soon, Doctor Li thought, maybe they should also go to Hangzhou to discuss a wedding wine after their return, after all, Cangjian Villa is so generous.
