Rebel

The tragedy on Yunshan Mountain is like a clear song. In this chaotic world of war and chaos, in these days when the world is shaking, no one hears it, and no one pays attention to it. It is only low and shallow, sending out a sad and disappearing echo. In the hearts of everyone who knows it, gently pondering...

Yunying doesn't love the rich and powerful but loves mountains and rivers, but in the end he still falls under the sharp edge of the word 'powerful'...

Maybe many years later, someone will think of him, miss him, and feel guilty for not being able to protect him... But he has left this chaotic world gently and just like that...

Blessing... misfortune...

The Qing songs are exhausted, and a song is over.

Showing poems and clear songs, chatting about self-indulgence, and joy to sorrow to destroy the lungs and liver.

Gu Ao led the army at this time, and after going through all kinds of hardships, he finally returned to Hanzhong.Ye Xiongguan dressed in filial piety and led the Hanzhong defenders out of the city to meet them. On the way, Ye Xiongguan sighed and said to Gu Ao: "...the mourning hall is all set up, Mr. Lu cried for three days and three nights... No one can help, the young master has just gone to persuade him."

Hearing this, Gu Ao's heart also became heavy, he didn't speak, but nodded in response.Ye Xiongguan mourned, and after a while he said again: "In the past few days, the county has been extremely busy rushing to make the stone sheep and tigers needed for the tomb; Mr. Lu wants to use jade for the stone man guarding the tomb, which is not in accordance with the etiquette. ,how do you say?"

Gu Ao said: "Ye-father was once the only person granted by the late emperor to wear dragon patterns and embroidered clothes as a dragon, why not use jade?"

"Oh, but they say that only the royal family and relatives can use jade."

"The righteous father and the first emperor were friends in life, and they were called brothers in Rongdi. There are also some particularities."

"Well, I will report this to Mr. Lu, the decision is still on him."

Gu Ao nodded, followed Ye Xiongguan into the county town of Hanzhong, looked back at the vastness in the distance, and saw that the sky was still so blue, and the sky was still so high, but the world under the calm sky , but it was subverted because of the death of the first emperor.

People are easy to get old, but the sky is evergreen.

The clouds are still floating gently on the sky, but the fragile balance of the four seas has now collapsed, and there is no peace anymore.

It is said that Yongchi had already led his troops to the north, and he had already ordered people to guard Jiayong Pass, resisting the throat gate where the Rong people came from the north to the south, and sent people to negotiate peace with King Rong.

It is said that Liao Yong was granted the title of King of Jiangqu, and the prince's son Liao Quji went to Shangjing as a hostage.

It is said that the king of Jin admitted his mistake and returned to the palace to serve the concubine. He was not allowed to go out without authorization, which was like a prison.

It is said that Mr. Xiao used his clever tongue to reconcile his brothers. The emperor was very pleased and named him Jiuqing.

It is said that the imperial court has newly appointed Qiu Mu as the prefect of Hanzhong County, and now he is leading all his troops, leaving from the resting place, traveling thousands of miles, and preparing to attack Hanzhong.

The funeral ceremony was complicated, and Gu Ao, as Lu Mou's loyal son, guarded the coffin with Lu Dequan.

That night, Lu Dequan took a look at Gu Ao who was kneeling behind him, turned around, and suddenly said, "Young brother... Since my father has adopted you as a foster son, I will also call you Aodi for life."

Gu Ao respectfully said: "Gu Ao is here, what's your order?"

Lu Dequan stared at Gu Ao's eyes for a while, and finally said: "I ask you something, in front of father's tablet, you tell me from the bottom of your heart, if there is a half-truth, the sky will be thundered, and you will not be able to survive after nine deaths."

"Know everything and say everything, and say everything, Ao swears to his heart, brother, please ask."

"Did you deliberately not save your father?"

Lu Mouzhong's words, like a thunderbolt suddenly struck, the words of condemnation, gently fell into Gu Ao's ears.

Hearing the sound, Gu Ao opened his eyes wide... He seemed to feel the cold wind blowing from behind him, and he couldn't help knocking his head in front of Lu Mouzhong's tablet: "...Why don't I want to save my adoptive father? Because of love, I don't have my adoptive father to support me." , I wouldn’t be without me today; Yu Yi, I am the adoptive father and adopted son, and the adoptive father’s kindness to me is as great as a mountain; Yu Shi, as soon as the adoptive father left, I was immediately surrounded by the three armies of the imperial court. Killing as a father and son, one prospers, one loses the other..."

"Brother Ao, raise your head." Lu Dequan said slowly.

Gu Ao raised his head cautiously: "Brother, Gu Ao didn't say a single word of lies. If there is a word that is not true, the foster father is in the spirit of heaven. Gu Ao is willing to suffer nine thunders."

"Okay!" In the gloomy candlelight, Lu Dequan looked at Gu Ao firmly: "Father, I will trust you today. You should also remember the word you said today."

"Come here!" Lu Dequan clapped his hands three times, and suddenly more than a hundred lurking swordsmen appeared from the mourning hall. Lu Dequan said: "Your savior is not effective, and it is reasonable to cut off the post of military commander; but the enemy is now, I will leave you with everyone." All the people in the Ministry, take the crime and make the meritorious deeds."

Gu Ao gritted his teeth and said: "Even if I'm guilty, but the soldiers are not guilty, elder brother is like this, aren't you afraid that the generals will be chilled?"

"The protector is not effective, I will not pursue it, it is already lenient, don't say anything else."

After the funeral, the armor of the guards sent Gu Ao to Chulongshan's home. On the way, he drove up to Chulongshan.Some of them were crying for their husbands, some were crying for their fathers, some were crying for their sons...they were the souls of the [-] soldiers who left Longshan and never returned.

Gu Ao fell silent, thinking of the cold light of the white blade at night again.

Lu Dequan did not remove him from the court, but used the family law of righteous brothers and righteous brothers;

Gu Ao didn't know before that Lu Dequan was so afraid of him...

Even chose this method to show the meaning of deterrence!

As soon as he got home, he pushed the door open and entered the room, when Mei Jun heard the sound and walked forward with the child in his arms, rubbing his red eyes: "Are you back?"

Gu Ao nodded: "I'm back."

Mei Jun saw that there was no warmth in Gu Ao's eyes, so he couldn't help lowering his head and said, "Why did you come back? Everyone else arrived ten days and a half months earlier, and they didn't send a letter or news. I thought you were dead too..."

Gu Ao said: "Before, I kept guarding the spirit of my adoptive father."

"Oh." Mei Jun puffed up her mouth angrily.

Gu Ao reached out to touch the face of the child in Mei Jun's arms. The child blinked, looked at Gu Ao, and suddenly burst into tears. He waved his hand: "Hold it down."

At this moment, Mei Jun finally couldn't help but said: "It's been half a year since you went out, and you haven't heard from me, and you've never cared about our mother and child, and now you've come back with great difficulty... You won't spend more time with him? I just brought him here , you just drive him away? Why don't you just drive me away too!" Mei Jun's voice was mixed with the baby's loud cries, and there was an extraordinary commotion in the room.

Gu Ao whispered: "It's my fault, I'm afraid of hurting him, he just saw me and cried."

Only then did Mei Jun hug the child to the servant, and sat beside Gu Ao without saying a word, silently opened one box after another, and said, "The letters inside are all sent to you when you were away. I can't read, and I don't know what it's talking about, so you can see for yourself."

Gu Ao nodded, he took out one of the letters,

"Brother Gu, ever since my father passed away, I've been thinking about you day and night, and I can't sleep..."

"Brother Gu, I often plan on my own. If I leave everything to find you, what will happen to you? But I can't...I guard the Chengyuan Palace, just like guarding my father...But Guanshan is far away, but how much do I think?" , see you again."

The letter was signed by Yunxi, and Gu Ao's hands trembled... When exactly did his mentor, Shan Yunzi, pass away?This... What year and month did this happen?

Gu Ao raised his head and asked Mei Jun, "... When is this letter?"

Mei Jun looked into Gu Ao's eyes, as if he could see the concern and concern in his eyes... Mei Jun thought again of the literate servant who had read the contents of the letter to her. ', a loving letter to her husband.

Gu Ao thought that Mei Jun didn't hear clearly, so he asked again: "...When is this letter from?"

Mei Jun's eyes gradually turned cold, and she gently removed Gu Ao's hands holding his arms: "Husband, you hurt me."

"It was sent when you first came out of the mountain."

Mei Jun answered Gu Ao's question, turned around and slammed the door and left.

Gu Ao didn't care about Mei Jun's abnormality, he closed his eyes, took a breath, and fell into the chair

——The bones of my mentor are already cold...but I have never known it...

Opening his eyes, Gu Ao hurriedly opened the third letter, the letter was from Jian Pu.

...Mei Jun walked outside, crying sadly.At this time, a young man dressed as a servant approached Mei Jun from behind, and comforted him softly: "Miss Mei, why are you crying?"

----

Gu Ao rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and finally found the ancient brocade belt that Yun Ang had given him as a gift, and carefully held it in his hand.It was the first time that Gu Ao looked at the brocade in his palm so seriously, as if he was afraid of missing the slightest detail, Gu Ao stretched out his hand and caressed every stitch and thread on it bit by bit, without any escape, he first For the first time, I face up to the warmth contained in it.

It was only then that Gu Ao discovered that the stitches on it were so fine, and through these, Yun An's affection for him was the first time Gu Ao had such a clear sense of touch when the man was gone.

Gu Ao felt his hands getting heavy...

At this time, he unconsciously recalled the scene when he bid farewell to Yunhang at the end:

He still remembered that Yunhang was in full bloom at that time, with a smile and a voice, and a beautiful jade shirt.They parted on a strong westerly evening, and Yun Xi looked at him with tears in his eyes:

"Don't you..."

"I can't afford to be..."

"...You are leaving, I will give you something, and you don't want it?"

"Great friendship and great love, there is nothing to repay, but I hope to cherish it."

"you you……"

Yun Ang stood behind the rut, weeping for a while, Gu Ao didn't hear the cry, but he didn't look back... Now, the person who cried to him and expressed his love for him, when he looked back, was gone.Regret was left to a person who passed away, Gu Ao stared at the belt in his hand, feeling pain in his chest and feeling helpless for a moment.

I still remember many, many things in my mind, the little things I used to get along with Yunying, the memories of my youth, I once walked with Yunying and Huai Xin, the three of them walked together, and went through so many beautiful years in Shanyun Academy.

I can still recall that in a world of ice and snow, Yunyang asked him softly: "Brother Gu, will you miss Brother Huai when Brother Huai is gone?"

"Think, of course I want to."

Yun Ang stared at herself, in the cold wind, her eyes seemed to have a trace of affectionate warmth, and there was only a sigh in her ear: "If I leave one day, will you miss me?"

Gu Ao said at that time: "If you leave, I will miss you too."

Yunying looked at the empty mountain covered with snow, and said softly: "...the same...is it?"

A word becomes a prophecy, nothing more than this.

Gu Ao gently caressed the uneven lines on the belt—this was made by the ancient brocade in the Shanyun Academy. The elder who had been in charge of the Shanyun Academy for decades had left, and Yunyang who gave him the belt, Now it is also lost.

The ensuing sadness made Gu Ao brutally face the impermanence of life.

Gu Ao stretched out his hand and carefully tied the belt around his waist.

----

At this time, on the other side of Longshan Mountain, Mei Jun finally had enough crying, raised his eyes, and looked at the young man dressed as a servant standing in front of him.

The man asked her softly just now: "Miss Mei, why are you crying?"

Mei Jun knew this person, he even read Gu Ao's letter for himself a while ago.

Mei Jun's impression of this man was very weak in the past, only that he could sing; now he added a secret of reading letters, which made the two of them get closer.

Mei Jun still remembered that this person appeared on the night when she was 14 years old.His father kidnapped him from the back of the mountain. He claimed to be the son of a merchant. The merchant passed by here. His father originally planned to kill him and take the robbery as his birthday gift.But the young man was facing the bonfire all over the mountain, and said: "The big head, the young one can sing, please ask the big head to let the young one sing a song for the little lady before dying."

He sang very well, and he didn't die later, but was directly used as his servant.

Mei Jun knew that sometimes she would find that his eyes seemed to follow her all the time.Mei Jun didn't take it seriously, she practiced martial arts since she was a child, she was arrogant, why did she ever put a servant in her eyes?

Although she is the daughter of a bandit, when she was a young girl, Mei Jun never imagined that she would be taken out of the village by a general on a horse and dressed in brocade clothes, and live a happy life with rich clothes and fine food from then on...

But dreams are realized too smoothly, and they are often broken more thoroughly.

Now, the man who once wore brocade clothes and mink fur and rode a steed to marry him has broken her promise.

He once promised their siblings that everyone in the village would be fed and clothed, but he broke his promise;

Not only that, except for the side he met for the first time, he never wore brocade clothes or sable fur anymore, let alone riding a horse and giving her a flower handsomely...

Originally, that was all... Now, he didn't even know where he was messing around again... The letters were all sent home!

Mei Jun was full of anger and thought, is this looking down on her for being illiterate!He promised her that he would live up to her for the rest of his life, that's why she married him. Why didn't he keep his word?

Fortunately, the young servant seemed to be aware of her embarrassment, so he stepped forward without losing the opportunity, and offered advice and advice: "Little lady, I can read this letter! Why don't I read this letter to my little lady?"

Mei Jun nodded curiously at that time, but the more she listened, the more annoyed she became - between the lines, there are words of love that only lovers would use.

She felt as if she had been slapped in the face, and she felt more and more worthless for herself.

After the belief was over, Mei Jun felt as if his seven orifices were smoking, and the letter even wrote: "Brother Gu, do you remember that you and I used to drink until night under the moon..."

For a moment Mei Jun felt a mouthful of blood constricted in his chest, wanted to vomit but couldn't, but the servant comforted him softly: "Little lady, don't worry."

Mei Jun didn't look at the servant until now. Seeing Mei Jun looking at him, he couldn't help smiling shyly, showing his white teeth.

Mei Juan snorted coldly, and said: "I can't tell, you're pretty handsome, aren't all you men like this?"

The servant replied: "That's not the case. There is a family with a small property, but just because they saw a girl they like on the way, they fall in love with each other from then on, and they don't go back home. Regardless of elder brother's urging, they just want to stay by her side. "

Mei Juan said sullenly: "It's all in the scriptures. I finally realized that after I became a relative, men are heartless and they just use women for entertainment."

But the servant assured her: "Little lady, this is true, I won't lie to you."

Mei Jun raised his chin: "Continue reading!"

"...I don't know if Brother Gu wears that belt with me. Every time I think of giving it to Brother Gu..."

"Enough!" Mei Jun couldn't help saying resolutely, she suddenly shrugged her shoulders, and sobbed.

Things are not over, but another beginning.

That night, Mei Jun found a bright red mountain flower at the door.

On the second day, she found the young servant with flowers and asked, "Did you send it?"

The servant lowered his head in embarrassment, blinked at her, Mei Jun raised his eyebrows, raised his foot and kicked the servant's chest.The servant rolled to the ground, but didn't cry out in pain, Mei Jun turned and left.

In the next few days, Mei Jun didn't see the young man again, until today Mei Jun went back to meet Gu Ao, and saw that her husband didn't care about his son or himself when he got home, and he was fascinated by the letter, and asked anxiously "When was this sent?" Mei Jun felt her heart die in an instant...

She hugged her knees in pain and bent down.

At this time, the young servant came out from nowhere, and said in a caring and soft voice: "Little lady?"

Mei Jun wiped away her tears and uttered a word: "Get lost!"

At this moment, the servant shook his head: "Stop crying, I'll leave."

Mei Jun suddenly burst into tears uncontrollably.Why, why he didn't care about her, but it was the turn of a servant to ask her, for a moment, Mei Juan felt extremely pathetic.
