Estranged

In the cold weather of March [-]th, northern Xinjiang has long been a scene of withered vegetation and frozen three feet.

Yue Xiaoyi got up early to feed the horses as usual, it was still dark outside, and the stars were shining in the sky, Yue Xiaoyi looked at the moon, it should be sunny today.

"Master, are you looking at the stars?" A crisp child's voice sounded in my ear.I saw a six or seven-year-old girl carrying a small bow and a small cart full of hay in her hand. The little hand holding the cart had several tiny cuts from the cold.

Yue Xiaoyi frowned slightly, knelt down and rubbed her hands slowly to warm them up, "Why did you wake up so early, where is Ying Xing?"

The girl blinked her eyes wide, and said playfully, "I started it secretly, and Dad didn't know." She smiled sweetly as she spoke, "They say that the Black Cavalry can endure hardships and be good at riding and shooting, so of course I can't give it to Master and Dad." Shame!"

Yue Xiaoyi held her with one hand and pushed the cart with the other, and said in a serious tone: "You are so naughty, if you don't sleep well, you will not grow taller in the future."

"As long as I practice riding and archery and study hard, I will surely grow up to be as tall as Uncle Jiang, as smart as Daddy, and as good as Master Xiang!"

Yue Xiaoyi smiled and patted her head, "Yanyan, do you really want to stay in the barracks?" She put the fodder away and led the girl to sit down. "Perhaps you will find that this road is very difficult in the future."

The girl nodded, "Beijiang is my home. Master, you taught me martial arts. Aunt Tang and Uncle Jiang are very kind to me. I never thought of being a female general like you. I would be very happy if I could help Yanyan !"

Yue Xiaoyi looked at her, looked at the sky and thought of something and said: "Yanyan, you are a girl from Northern Xinjiang, a child of the Black Cavalry Army, you must be strong no matter what, and never back down."

Ji Yanyan nodded, but her heart was a little confused, and she looked at her master again, only to see her staring at the sky in a daze.

"Master, Master, there are so many stars in the sky!"

Yue Xiaoyi nodded, looking at her happy smiling face.

"Master, do you recognize all these stars?"

Yue Xiaoyi shook his head hesitantly, "I don't know all of them", and pointed to her; "Altair, Vega... Venus... Big Dipper..." As he spoke, he suddenly paused. ...Shangxing...

It seemed that the man's arrogant and lazy tone sounded in his ears, "Shang Xing lives in the lowest position in the east, and San Xing lives in the western position. They come and go, and never see each other."

A prophecy.

"Master, Master, what's wrong with you?"

Yue Xiaoyi shook his head, "I can't recognize them all either, your father must recognize stars better than me."

"Is it because of the star in Daddy's name?"

"Master, what does Yanjing look like?"

"Yanjing...is very prosperous, with a beautiful Miss Jiao, a noble son, a big teahouse, and Fangzi with red walls and green tiles..."

Ji Yanyan tilted her head, "It sounds fun, why do so many people dislike Yanjing?"

Yue Xiaoyi looked into her big eyes, not knowing how to answer.

Ji Yanyan rolled her eyes, and replied in a big-hearted way: "Did you tell the drama that Yanjing doesn't have your sweetheart?"

"On the contrary." With a faint smile on the corner of Yue Xiaoyi's mouth, he looked towards the south and murmured, "It's precisely because Yanjing has my sweetheart..." So I couldn't go.

Do not disturb, do not ask, do not meet.I hope he is as beautiful as a flower, and don't worry about passing by Tianya anymore.

Time passed, and many years later in Yanjing City, a middle-aged man was sitting in the Tianji Pavilion correcting official documents. The man was dressed in a black robe, with sword-like eyebrows and handsome eyes.

The man suddenly pressed his chest with one hand, frowned and forced himself to endure, biting his lips.It took a long time to recover, and he couldn't help but put his hand on the wound on his chest. The old wound of anger relapsed, and finally left the root of the disease. He didn't care about the dull pain for a year or sometimes. This time It hurts so badly.Oh, heart-piercing, Xiang Ying evoked a sarcastic smile.

Three days later, when Qiu Jing handed him the information from various places, he hesitated to speak, and Xiang Ying didn't bother to guess what his face meant, so he took the information into the study with one hand.

Xiang Ying sat on the chair and flipped through the pages casually until a line of words came into his eyes: "General Renwu of the Black Cavalry Army Yue Xiaoyi died of a relapse three days ago, and handed over to Jiang Lai to be the commander of the Black Cavalry Army."

Information papers were scattered all over the place, "tick, tick", as if something had slipped, broken, and drowned.

On the second day, Yun Fengmian, who got the news, felt regretful and couldn't help but ran to see Xiang Ying, and only said to ask him for a drink.But Xiang Ying looked normal, talking and laughing happily.

Inside Baoyue Tower, Yun Fengmian chattered and couldn't help asking: "Xiang Ying, I heard that she has gone, are you okay?"

Xiang Ying ignored him, continued to drink, and asked slowly after a while: "Who's gone? Oh, you said Yue Xiaoyi, what does it have to do with me?"

Xiang Ying drank another jug ​​of spirits, seemed to be choking, coughed a few times, and covered his mouth with a handkerchief, "Ahem... Hahaha, I said why did you invite me to drink today? It turned out that you were afraid that I would be unhappy. A It's just a woman, why should you care! Heh..."

Yun Fengmian seemed relieved, the two had a drink, and they seemed to be very drunk.Before leaving, Xiang Ying casually threw the handkerchief into the lake, Yun Fengmian was in a daze and didn't see it.

The quiet moonlight shone down, but no one saw a blood-stained white handkerchief floating on the lake.

A year later, the Procuratorate Xiang Ying died of an old heart and mouth disease.
