The Moon Over Tang Dynasty Chapter 231

Chapter 231 The golden wind, jade dew and moonlight are as beautiful as practice

Liuli ignored the porridge and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. Then she went up and grabbed Pei Xingjian, "What on earth is going on?"

Pei Xingjian looked outside thoughtfully and simply said, "The style of General Ashina Mishe is completely different from that of Ashina Buzhen. He only brought five or six generals with him, including this one." Mr. Fang.”

 In other words, this Fang Lie has already been put to great use by Ashina Mishe? But Ashnamishe had always been on good terms with the Tang Dynasty, and had he just been granted the title of ambassador of comfort? Liuli looked at Pei Xingjian in confusion, not understanding why it was difficult to say whether this was good or bad.

Pei Xingjian looked down at her, and his tone became gentle and gentle, "I originally thought that although the things Mr. Fang committed back then were not small, it was indeed the pastor who deceived others first, and the pastor was always unfair. There are no relatives in Western Xinjiang. As time has passed, most people will not bother to pursue this matter. And Mr. Fang's appearance has changed a lot. If he is still just an unknown person, there will be border residents moving into Xizhou every year. It's not too difficult to live a safe life by changing your name and surname, but in this way, all Mr. Fang's life learning will be in vain. "

"Now, in just a few years, he has become General Ashinami's confidant. This time he followed the general into the camp and into Xizhou. His appearance is somewhat conspicuous. , most people who have seen him will not forget it. It will not be easy to remain anonymous in the future. If we want to talk about the good side, since he has this identity, if he can make great achievements on the battlefield, the court will not be without mercy. The precedent of amnesty may be returned here in a dignified manner, and everyone will be happy in this way. However, this kind of opportunity is something you can only meet but cannot ask for." At this point, he still sighed, "You never expected that he would actually do it. I was surprised when I heard the name. He also heard someone mention that I was looking for someone named Fang Lie when he was in the camp, and he asked me over a drink. After saying a few words, he and I recognized each other as fellow villagers in public and came here from the banquet."

Liuli suddenly understood and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it really easy to get a pardon?"

Pei Xingjian nodded, "It's not easy. Think about it. After all, what he committed was the serious crime of killing an officer. Fortunately, no one saw it in person. At most, he could be exonerated from the crime. Even so, if nothing can be done, How could the Holy Spirit open his mouth for his merits? On the battlefield, three points depended on ability, but seven points depended on God's will. Given his current situation, it was not safe to remain anonymous. I had a brief chat with him just now, and judging by his tone, I was afraid that he was arrogant and unwilling to compromise. "

Liuli was not surprised by this. If Mr. Fang was willing to compromise even a little bit, how could his child, who is already five feet tall, still be struggling to survive in Western Xinjiang? Thinking of Liu Ruyue's unswerving revenge and waiting for the past ten years, she couldn't help but sigh. In the past three months, because Pei Xingjian was at home every day and he saw no outsiders, Liu Ruyue never came to the door. He only asked Yunyi to send some small items every once in a while, either two-color needlework or something. It was a gadget to relieve boredom. She naturally appreciated this kindness. Unexpectedly, she finally waited until Fang Lie came to visit, but they seemed to be unable to help.

Pei Xingjian glanced at Liuli up and down, and saw that she was wearing a half-new moon-white shirt, with only a single bun on her head. She had no makeup on her face, but her lips were red. She looked more radiant than before, and nodded. , "That's all right for you. It's a bit cold at night, so you can put on a half arm and follow me to the front. Since Liu Ajian is coming, it would be more appropriate for you to show up. I'll have dinner with you later."

Liuli responded hurriedly, turned around and took out a brocade armband, and followed Pei Xingjian to the main room. As soon as the door curtain was lifted, I saw a person sitting upright on the couch in the room. His figure was as tall as a pine tree, and the outline of his face in the candlelight was extremely clear and beautiful.

Hearing the door curtain ringing, Mr. Fang stood up quickly and turned around. Liuli couldn't help but pause, and then she understood what Pei Xingjian meant when he said "the appearance has changed a lot" and "conspicuously" - he could only see it when he turned around. There is a long scar on half of the face, from the bottom of the eyebrow to the beard on the cheek. Although it is not evil, it adds a bit of evil to this face that should be very handsome. The sharp look in his eyes was probably due to the beard he had grown intentionally and the cross-collared Hu robe on his body. Although he still had a Tang Dynasty futou on his head, he looked more like an authentic Turkic man.

Meeting Pei Xingjian and Liuli, he folded his hands and saluted, "Here comes Mr. Lao Shi and his wife." The etiquette was decent, and he spoke standard Heluo Mandarin.

Pei Xingjian bowed and said, "Brother Fang, there is no need to be too polite. Both Pei and Zhuo Jing have troubled Madam Liu. They are trivial things, but they are just a small effort and are not enough to repay Madam Liu for her generous help."

When he heard the words "Ms. Liu", Fang Lie's originally too sharp eyes softened a lot. He smiled and said, "It's Fang who should thank the two cousins ​​who took care of her." With this smile, he revealed two neat rows of white His teeth suddenly became much more lively, and he seemed to have the charm of a handsome young man from Chang'an.

Liuli couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but she saw Fang Lie suddenly frown slightly, looking at the door curtain, his eyes suddenly became as bright as morning stars. She was a little strange and looked outside. After a moment, she heard footsteps and a low greeting from outside the door, "Ms. Liu is here."

Liuli took a step back and stood beside Pei Xingjian. She looked at the door curtain and her heart beat a little faster. As if waiting for a long time, the door curtain was gently lifted, revealing a light green figure. Liu Ruyue probably had a little makeup on her face, but she could still tell that her face was much paler than usual, with some unusual blush on her cheeks, and a pair of smart eyes that were always silent and smiling just stared blankly at Fang Lie's face gradually started to tremble from his fingertips to the bottom of his skirt, but he still bit his lower lip and walked in step by step. He stopped his feet when he was two steps away from Fang Lie, and then looked at From Fang Lie's face to his hair and clothes, his lips were slightly open, and he probably wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Fang Lie's eyes were like fire, and they were always glued to Liu Ruyue's face. At this moment, he spoke first, his voice was a little hoarse, "Ayue, how are you doing?"

Liu Ruyue's eyes suddenly filled with mist, "What can I do wrong? It's just you..." Her voice was choked and she couldn't continue. Pei Xingjian and Liuli looked at each other. Pei Xingjian coughed and said with a smile, "Let's catch up on old times. Pei and Zhuojing can't be with each other for a moment. I'm sorry." After saying that, he picked up Liuli and walked out, facing those who were guarding outside. Xiaotan and Xiaofu nodded and turned back to the inner courtyard. His expression remained calm, but he did not let go of Liuli's hand for even a moment.

In the main room, the other two hands were finally held together. One pair was white and soft, with round dimples on the backs of the hands, while the other pair was covered with calluses and tiny cracks.

Fang Lie's eyes were still hot, but his voice was extremely soft, "Ah Yue, does my appearance scare you?"

Liu Ruyue shook her head slightly, her eyes lingering on the scar on his cheek for a moment, her expression full of pity, "Does it still hurt?"

A smile appeared on Fang Lie's face, "It's been a few years, where does it still hurt? It's actually nothing. I just accidentally got scratched by a knife while playing with my brothers. I didn't suffer anything there. I just followed the general to hunt around, drink wine and eat meat, and have fun. I thought that I could be alone for the rest of my life and live a happy life. "

"It's just that I have been thinking about you since I learned about the fate of the mother and daughter last year. I wonder how you are doing. I have asked several Hu merchants to go to Chang'an to inquire, but to no avail. I thought that the war would be over here. , I went back by myself. But I didn't expect that you would come to Xizhou to find me! Ayue, I heard from Pei Changshi that you came here with the caravan, but how did you get out of the palace? "

There were still tears in Liu Ruyue's eyes, and a smile appeared on her face, "After you left Chang'an, I entered the palace and managed to become a female official in the Lizheng Palace. I always made some enemies for the Liu family and her daughter, and the Wang family entered the palace. After the crime, Empress Wu quietly released me from the palace. I heard that you were in Xizhou, so I looked for you with the hope of being safe. I thought I would have to wait for the next life, but now it seems that God will not treat me well after all. Thin!"

Fang Lie's eyes were brighter, then dimmed suddenly, "If I had known this, I should have stayed for two more years. Ah Yue, you don't know, that day I heard that the Holy Emperor appointed the prince under the Wang family as the prince, and then It was an amnesty for the whole world, and my heart felt like it was fried. It happened that the pastor was careless about life and death, and he got into trouble with me as usual, so I got angry and grabbed the guy outside the camp and killed him with a knife. I was walking around at will, but not long after, by chance, I met General Youwuwei. Seeing that I was quite skillful with bow and horse, he asked me to follow him. In the past few years, I have made some small achievements. General Gradually, some warriors were divided into me and I became a small general, but in this way..."

Liu Ruyue raised her head and looked at Fang Lie's face, and said softly, "What's wrong with that? You have been thinking about making achievements since you were a child. Now that you are serving under General Mishe, you will have the opportunity to make achievements. I will let you go."

Fang Lie looked at Liu Ruyue blankly, but finally shook his head, "It's not as good as Xizhou over there. You won't get used to it. You don't have to suffer such grievances for me. I have already thought about it. Now that the war is coming, I will find a way. I will achieve military success and return to Xizhou to marry you in an upright manner!"

Liu Ruyue's eyes turned red again, "My name is no longer Liu Ruyue, and I will never be able to follow you back to Chang'an in an upright manner. If it were so easy to build an army, Xizhou would be full of honorable officers. Are you another Do you want to leave me in anger?"

Fang Lie suddenly felt at a loss and wanted to reach out to help Liu Ruyue wipe away her tears, but he only reached half way. Looking at her soft skin, he did not dare to touch it for a moment. He could only whisper, "Ayue, please don't cry. What are you talking about?" That's it, I, I will never abandon you again!”

Their voices were all very low, but through the fluttering curtains, a sentence or two still leaked out. Xiao Tan stood in the yard outside with his hands folded, feeling that even though he couldn't clearly hear what was said, the tone and voice But it made her feel a little sour inexplicably. She sniffed and looked up at the sky. A full moon had risen quietly, and the moonlight was like a prairie, shining quietly on the city wall of Xizhou.
