The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

In February of the 18th year of Jingping, Dugu Mian, the general who protects the country, assisted Jiaozhi to quell the civil strife, and then escorted Master Xuanqing to return to China after finishing his preaching.Accompanying him were the envoys sent by the King of Cochin to pay tribute to Shangbang and more than ten young scholars carefully selected.

Jiaozhi’s tributes to Emperor Xianxi include: [-] tame elephants, [-] catties of top-quality agarwood, [-] strings of pearls of various colors, [-] bolts of morning glow cloth, [-] fire beads, and the rest are made of mother-of-pearl, fragrant wood, coral agate, and various other products. , and so on.The tribute is precious and the scale is huge, unprecedented in history.However, Li Jun didn't have to worry about losing money at all. According to Shangbang's practice, the emperor's reward brought back by the mission would only be more or less.Moreover, the standard of entertainment will never be low, so paying tribute has always been a relaxing and pleasant job.

The group bid farewell outside the north gate of Suli City.

The king delivered a public farewell speech, encouraged the scholars, and then gave a farewell party for the distinguished guests of the state alone, while the large procession waited at a distance.

Meeting by chance, sharing weal and woe, getting along for several months, with deep friendship, parting at this moment, and reunion indefinitely.Cochin is located at the ends of the earth, and Li Jun has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. After Dugu Mian and others go back, maybe they will never have a chance to meet each other again in this lifetime.They both knew each other very well, and when it was time to leave, they were extremely reluctant to part.

The one Li Jun is most reluctant to part with is Song Wei.In his heart, a trip to escape to borrow soldiers, in addition to accomplishing great things, is to make this friend of the same age who truly treats each other as equals and confides in his heart.After drinking for three rounds, he took Song Wei's hand, and said with red eyes: "Brother Miaozhi, after returning home, ask Ling Tang for his well-being. Don't forget to send a letter to Brother Yu."

If the situation didn't allow it and the person involved was unwilling, he wouldn't mind keeping Song Wei as his brother-in-law at all.

The servant next to the king came over with a tray with silk pens and ink on it.Li Jun said: "If you send your lord thousands of miles away, you will have to say goodbye. Brother Yu will make fun of my virtuous brother if he behaves like a child again. So write a poem on this and give it to your virtuous brother. The words are vulgar and express your heart."

The Jiaozhi royal family was deeply influenced by the summer wind, and Li Jun learned the literati style of the Xianxi Dynasty.I saw him writing with a pen and brush.After writing, read it again affectionately:

"The ancient road breaks willows frequently, and the long pavilion raises a glass together.

Unbearable to be drunk with calendula, lest the horseshoe reminds me.

Spring goes to the flowing water, and autumn returns far away.

Cherish the meaning of parting, and the breeze follows. "

After hearing this, Xuan Qing and the others were all amazed.The poem is actually written in a mediocre way, but as a king of a remote country, it is rare to be able to do it so easily.

Song Wei has limited ink in his stomach, but the meaning of this poem is simple and clear, very easy to understand.He took the silk with both hands, folded it carefully and put it in his arms.He said with a smile, "Brother Ting Yun, I can't write poetry. I will sing a song. Thank you for your deep friendship."

As he said that, he patted his palm lightly and heavily on the table, playing a prelude.Then he let go of his voice and sang a song.He sang a Xia Yuli song that was very popular in the Xianxi Dynasty, and he learned it when he first met Master Xuanqing the year before.Because I like its lyrics and tune, I will remember it.

But hear him beat the beat and sing:

"Please get off your horse and drink your wine, don't ask what the future holds.

To become famous at a young age must be done as early as possible, Prime Minister Bai never cared about it too late.

Love is like the wind blowing in the sky, and thoughts are like falling branches in front of the door.

From now on, on a bright moon night, it will always be the time when the old man sings. "

Everyone has always known that he has a good voice and can sing, and he is still amazing when he says a word.The voice is clean and penetrating, full of emotion and natural, really shaking Lin Yue, resounding against the sky, singing a song of Li Ge clearly and loudly, open-minded and free and easy, full of boldness and openness in parting sorrows, which makes people feel sad and uplifted at the same time .

After Song Wei sang, he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, got on his horse, and said with a loud smile: "Brother Ting Yun, the days ahead will be long, and there will be a period later. I wish you good health and prosperity, and peace under your rule!"

A group of people officially set off.Li Jun and a group of officials went up to the city tower and watched them off from a distance.Song Wei immediately turned around and waved to him far away.Dugu Mian also turned around, but she was looking at him.I thought: As long as he is willing, he can attract everyone's attention.It's a hell of a deal.

The people left Suli City in early February and headed north all the way. When they entered the Middle Earth, the snow and ice disappeared and the flowers bloomed in spring.The road is getting better and better, and the scene is getting more and more prosperous. It can be imagined that it must be a pleasant journey.

It takes about half a month to return to Nanshun Pass and stay for two days to recuperate.Mu Qiye joined his caravan, and Song Wei picked up An Ang, who was fostered there, from the old house of the Guo family.What else could be safer than traveling with generals, princesses and vassal missions?Mu Qiye took his valuable goods and King Cochin's reward, happily mixed in the big team.For the first two days, Song Wei was with the caravan staff; for the next few days, with Xuan Qing and his disciples; after that, with the head of the mission and the son-in-law; Grandpa left and right.

The procession moved slowly.There are men, women and children, as well as a group of tame elephants, who can't get up sooner.Anyway, don't worry, the vassal state came to the DPRK and ostentatiously passed through the market along the way, just to publicize the majesty of Shangbang and let the common people see the freshness and excitement, which is very conducive to social harmony.However, this trip was simply on the way, without any other delays. Officers and soldiers cleared the way along the way, and pedestrians gave way. No matter how slow it was, a month later, they left Jiaozhou, crossed the Nanling Mountains, and entered the territory of Yongzhou.

At the end of March, the team took a break in Shicheng.This place is a communication fortress, from which Mu Qiye's caravan will continue to go north and return to the Western Capital, while General Dugu, Master Xuan Qing and the Jiaozhi mission must turn east and go straight to Qingzhou.So after Suli City, another farewell is imminent.

A few days ago, Dugu Mian had discussed with Song Wei: "Xiao Yin, do you want to go back to the capital with me and send someone to pick up your mother, or go back to Xidu with Mu Qiye first, and I'll send someone to pick you up later?" ?”

In order to avoid Song Wei's anger, the word "miaomiao" is reserved for certain occasions and moments to add interest, and it is not easy to say it usually.

Song Wei blinked at that time, and replied to him: "I'll think about it."

Dugu Mian thought that what he wanted was to go with him right away, or wait for him to pick him up after seeing his mother.After such a long time of brewing and sublimation, he felt that Song Wei's going to the capital had become the tacit and established conclusion of both parties, beyond doubt.

On the eve of the breakup, Song Wei found an opportunity to bid farewell to Master Xuan Qing's master and apprentice alone.Xuan Qing listened to him, wanted to go back to the Western Capital with Mu Qiye, and had no plans to go to the capital in the short term, and said in surprise: "Your thinking, the young master knows?"

Song Wei rubbed his nose: "Young Master, I will explain it clearly to him, and I ask the Venerable Master to keep it a secret for me first."

Xuan Qing looked at him for a moment, and said: "Xiao Yin, as far as I know, Dugu Young Lord is not a talkative master. Have you really thought about it?"

Song Wei nodded: "I'm afraid it's too early to tell, and he has come up with some other tricks. We'll talk about it when we leave."

Xuan Qing sighed.With her advanced cultivation base, she can't see clearly how this evil fate rises and falls, and she has no way to interfere.It's just that this journey finally understands that Song Wei seems to be the most soft-spoken person, who only cares about making troubles and doesn't care about things, but in fact, his ideas are very right in his bones.

In the afternoon of the second day, everyone broke up at the intersection of Shicheng North Avenue.Mu Qiye respectfully bid farewell to General Dugu, Master Xuanqing and the cochin son-in-law, and went back to wait for the emperor's reward to the Mu family. He was in a very good mood.Song Wei's important things had already been quietly packed in the caravan's luggage, at this moment he whispered hello to Dugu Mian: "I'll give Master Qi a ride." Then he followed.

Following the Mu family's caravan walking for a while, he said to Mu Qiye: "Lao Qiye and the big brothers are a little slower, and I will say goodbye to Fairy Xuanqing, and I will definitely catch up with you before dark."

Knowing that he and Xuan Qing have other friendships, Mu Qiye waved his hand: "Tell that donkey of yours to run a little faster."

Song Wei rode on Nang Ang and turned back.Dugu Mian is waiting for him.

Reining in the reins, he said seriously: "Young Master, please take a step to speak."

Dugu's heart sank.There was no change in his face, and he ordered the team to stand by, with only Mu Ping and Qin Xian behind him, and he drove his horse into the woods beside the road.

Song Wei stopped in the depths of the woods, turned her head to face Dugu: "Master, thank you for taking care of me these days, let's just say goodbye."

Dugu's eyes became colder: "Xiaoyin, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is," Song Wei licked her lips, telling herself not to be intimidated by the other party's aura, "I mean, the fate between you and me should end here."

Dugu Mian clenched the hand holding the rein into a fist, and said slowly: "Say it again."

Song Wei looked directly at him: "Young Master, you and I have been walking together all the way, but we met by chance. You can't let go of it for a while, and I can't escape for a while. This fate was born. But from now on, you have your future. Life in the church, life in the Marquis, I have my life in the market, life in the small people. I have no intention of intervening in your life, let alone being disturbed by you. It is better to end here, forget each other, and live their own peaceful lives stop."

After Dugu was furious, his heart was in a mess.He has never had any experience in persuading Song Wei, and he has always been persuasive. At this time, he was so angry that he had no way of knowing, and with a bang, he pulled out the sword.

The three-foot Qingfeng pointed at Song Weibai's neck with a chilling air.

Song Wei's habit is that the more frightened she becomes, the more bachelor she becomes.He was quite nervous at first, but when he pointed his long sword at the neck, he calmed down instead.

Smiled lightly: "Young Master, why bother."

Dugu Mian was provoked by his indifferent appearance to the point of hatred, desperately suppressed his anger, calmed down, gritted his teeth and said: "Song Wei, in this world, the wind leaves traces, and the geese leave their voices. If you say it, it will enter people's hearts. Ear, the things you have done will touch people's hearts. You have done everything with me, and now you have to break up and let it go completely, how can it be so easy? Or, all the things before were all deliberate and deliberate. cheat?"

Song Wei shook his head: "Young Master is serious. It's just a last resort. I hate crying."

Dugu was furious, and Jianfeng approached two points forward: "It's a last resort. It turns out that's all it is! I'll let you go on forever, so what's the difficulty?"

Song Wei only felt that the hairs on his neck were standing on end from his sword energy, as if the skin would be broken and blood would splash in the next moment.

Close your eyes, and softly said: "Young Master, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself. What would you do if you were me?" The corners of your mouth raised and you smiled sarcastically, "Ah, I forgot, you might It never occurred to me because you don't have to put yourself in anybody's shoes."

Dugu Mian stared blankly at him, speechless.

He lowered his hands slowly.After a while, he said: "I thought you were more or less..." The anger turned into inexplicable desolation, "Xiao Yin, what do you think of me in your heart?"

Song Wei tilted his head to look at him, and seemed to be full of curiosity and asked back: "If you dare to ask the young master, what do you think of me?"

For no reason, Dugu felt that he had seen hope, and immediately replied: "Is there any need to ask? I like you, so naturally I regard you as the person I like."

Song Wei grinned a little bit, showing an innocent and sweet smile: "You really like it?"

Dugu said firmly: "I really like it."

Song Wei nodded: "That's it. May I ask the young master, have you ever been married?"

Dugu was taken aback for a moment, but unable to lie, he nodded with a straight face.Just about to explain in detail, Song Wei said: "So do you have any children?"

Dugu nodded again with a straight face.

Song Wei didn't wait for him to speak, and continued to ask: "How many? Boys and girls?"

"Three, one girl and two boys."

"How old are you?"

"The girl is 11, the boy is six and the boy is five."

Song smiled and said, "It's nice to have both sons and daughters."

Dugu is 28 years old, and his eldest daughter is 11 years old, which is a very normal age.He felt very bad when asked by Song Wei, at this time he didn't dare to say a word.

Song Wei then smiled and said: "Dare to ask the family's pets and wives, how many people are there?"

Dugu's face broke out in a cold sweat, and he was at a loss for words: "You, why are you asking this? How can they compare with you? They..."

Song Wei looked at him silently.When he couldn't continue, he sighed and said softly: "Master, in my life, I just passed my 20th birthday. Although you don't believe me, I really haven't tasted what it's like to be a woman. I also want to When we get married, we also want to have both children, a family and a room, and enjoy family happiness.”

After a short pause, he continued: "But I don't know how to take concubines, let alone marry a concubine at home and go outside to have an affair. If I really like someone, I will do my best to treat him well. He wants to sing I listen to him sing when I am alone, and go out with him when he wants to go out. Take his sorrows as his sorrows, and his likes and dislikes as his likes and dislikes. I will not force him to do anything he does not want to do. I will never use him My relatives threaten him, and I will not abandon him when disaster strikes. I will face the hardships of life and the fear of death with him. I will make him willing to stay with me. When he is with me, I feel His happiness will be ten thousand times greater than when he is alone."

"Little Lord, thank you for liking me. However, what you like about me, I, Song Wei, like a flower, a grass, a donkey and a horse, and I can do what you do, or even better." Song Wei Looking at Dugu, the indifferent tone easily sentenced him to death, "You will never be able to like me in the way I expected, because in your glorious life, liking someone only occupies a small corner, just like Xia Tian used to love me." The fan you wear, the fur you wear in winter, can only arouse your pity when you need it. However, in my Song Wei’s small life, liking someone will be the whole of my life.”

He took a breath and spit out the final conclusion: "If I can't find someone worthy of my liking in this life, I will only accept someone who is willing to like me like this. Do you understand?"

Well, I raised my head and called out, drawing a successful conclusion to the master's speech.

Song Wei patted the donkey's head, walked out of the woods, and threw a sentence to Dugu from a distance: "If you are free to come to Xidu, young master, if you are willing to pay me a favor, let's get acquainted and I'll treat you to a drink."

Dugu stared blankly at his receding back, like the sky, white clouds and crystals on the seabed, separated by countless chasms.He knew that no matter how many times he went to bed, the distance could never be shortened.

The long sword in his hand flashed suddenly, and there was a rumbling sound.A nearby tree was chopped off in half, the dust was flying high, and the branches and leaves were flying.

The author has something to say: The first line of the Lige sung by Xiaoyin is borrowed from Wang Wei's "Farewell": "Get off the horse and drink the king's wine, and ask the king where he is."
