Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky: Second, Yunyuan Panfeng 5

On the first day of June, at dusk, a guest came to Fengfu.

When Du Kang reported to Feng Duying, she hesitated for a moment before saying: "Please come here."

Du Kang went, and after a while, he brought Gu Yunyuan here.

It was dusk and dusk at that time, and the crimson rays of the sun poured all over the sky, making the green trees and red flowers in the courtyard extraordinarily bright, so the white clothes under the sycamore tree had a shocking brightness.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Feng Duying didn't get up to greet the guests, but was still lying on the bamboo couch, with one hand resting on the back of his head, the other holding a book on his waist, his eyes quietly looking at the sky.

When Gu Yunyuan arrived, he didn't say a word, he just stared at the people on the bamboo couch with a smile, as if he was admiring a famous painting, instead of facing a general whose rank was several times higher than his.

For a long time, Feng Duying's gaze moved back from the horizon, and when he turned his head to look, the beautiful clouds in his eyes were dyed like glazed gems, overflowing with brilliance, dazzling and frightening. My mind went blank.

"Why are you here?" Feng Duying sat up. Seeing that Du Kang had put the books spread out on the bamboo couch aside, she tossed the books in her hands onto the pile of books.

Gu Yunyuan withdrew his thoughts and sat down on the bamboo chair opposite the bamboo couch without being greeted by the master. A servant served hot tea, and then quietly retreated with Du Kang.

"Since the general moved out of the palace, the subordinate officials have not visited the mansion. Today I have free time, so I came to visit the general." He said with a leisurely smile.

Feng Duying glanced at him lightly when he heard the words, "I've seen it now, it's going to be very good, Mr. Gu, please go back."

"Alas!" Gu Yunyuan sighed and covered his face, putting on a look of hurt, "The officer has only come here for a short while, and the general wants to drive him away. You can’t even ask for food, the general is really ruthless.”

Feng Duying frowned, and said loudly: "Du Kang, see off the guests!"

"Hey, don't!" Seeing that he was about to be expelled, Gu Yunyuan hurriedly waved his hands, "I have business to find the general."

So Feng Duying waved away Du Kang who had heard the sound, and stared back at him: "Say!"

"Ahem." Gu Yunyuan cleared his mind, straightened his appearance, and said, "General, why did you cross out the name of the subordinate officer from the list of officers accompanying the army?"

When he asked this question, Feng Duying didn't answer immediately, but fell silent, and turned his eyes elsewhere.

"Could it be that the general has forgotten the reason?" Gu Yunyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, and after a while he straightened up, he went back to his old ways.

After hearing this, Feng Duying turned his head, glanced at him, and then asked, "What do you think of His Majesty's dispatch to Beihai this time?"

Unexpectedly, she would ask such a question, Gu Yunyuan pondered for a while, then lowered his eyes to cover his expression, and said: "The lower official is a subject of Dadong, so I agree with it."

"Oh?" Feng Duying's phoenix eyes flashed, she looked at him and asked again, "What's the reason?"

"When Dazai lord persuaded the ministers in the Jingchen Palace that day, he said,'A strong enemy looks around, so why talk about rest and rest; when conquering the North Sea, you will knock the mountains and shake the tigers to frighten the countries'." Gu Yunyuan said the reason for the abundance.

"That's what the fourth brother said." Feng Duying raised his chin slightly.

Gu Yunyuan raised his eyes, the light flashed in his eyes, and then faded into nothingness.

Feng Duying's heart moved, and he couldn't help looking at him, to be more precise, looking into his eyes. Whatever thought flashes through a person's heart, his eyes will express it. Although Gu Yunyuan's appearance is not very outstanding, he has a pair of surprisingly beautiful eyes. The arch of his eyebrows protrudes like a stone bank, and the eyes embedded under them look extraordinarily deep, like a deep spring in a high mountain, clean and clear without being stained with dust.

After a while, Gu Yunyuan finally answered, and the answer was concise and to the point: "You can't kill a tiger until it's majestic and ferocious."

"Oh?" Hearing this sentence, Feng Duying raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of admiration in Feng Duying's eyes.

"The lower official answered the general, but the general hasn't answered the lower official yet." Gu Yunyuan's expression returned to his casual frivolity in an instant.

Feng Duying raised his eyebrows and said: "You are just a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, why go to the battlefield where there are swords and swords."

Gu Yunyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, half-truthfully said: "Of course it is to accompany the general."

Feng Duying had long been able to turn a deaf ear to his teasing, so at this moment she just stared at Gu Yunyuan. In the past few years, this man has been looking up and down to attract people's attention, but she has been unable to see through him. When the world enters the court, it is either to contribute to the country and benefit the people, or it is greedy for wealth and power, but this person in front of him is not at all. If it was for the sake of wealth and power, he would not anger the emperor several times, so he is still only an eighth-rank scholar; It's really for her... She shook her head and dismissed her thoughts.

This man, he came to court, did he not want fame and fortune?

"Gu Yunyuan, you have the talent to run the country and help the world. You should be famous in history, and you will be the grand master in the future. Why don't you give all your talents to the people of your family and country?"

This sentence was so unexpected that Gu Yunyuan's heart was shocked the moment he heard the words, and he stared at Feng Duying in a daze.

In these years, what he has done has made everyone in the court know his thoughts. Some people ridicule, some admire, some are jealous, some are envious... But Feng Duying, no matter what he says or does in front of her, she always ignores it, as if there is no Gu Yunyuan in the world... . But she never thought that she still had such expectations for him——The Minister of Kunizuki.

At that moment, Gu Yunyuan had mixed feelings in his heart, a little relieved, but also a little sad.

Feng Duying stood up from the bamboo couch, went to stand under a pomegranate tree in the courtyard, looked up at the fiery red pomegranate flowers, and after a long time, sighed faintly: "Gu Yunyuan, this Although the pomegranate flowers bloom brilliantly, if there is a violent storm, the ground will be full of residual red, not only will the brilliance disappear, but there will be no fruit in the future."

Gu Yunyuan naturally understood such a pun. He moved his eyes to look at her. Under the pomegranate tree, the red flowers were set off, and the sun was dyed, and the white dress was gorgeous under the evening wind. Therefore, he couldn't help but sighed: "The general and the subordinate's words are because they care about the subordinate, or do they want to keep a talent for the court? The general crossed out the name of the subordinate because the scholar is not suitable for the battlefield." , or is it because the subordinates are obsessed with the general?"

After he asked, Feng Duying didn't respond, she just stood with her hands behind her back, looking up at the sky, her posture was casual but far away.

Gu Yunyuan looked at him, his eyes couldn't help revealing bitterness, and even the always unrestrained and frivolous him couldn't help but hide his eyes, and then said in a self-deprecating tone: "Thanks to the general who thinks highly of it, I think that the next official will have a future." If you are capable of being the grand master, then the subordinate officials will go to Beihai with the army."

Feng Duying heard the words, turned his head and looked sideways.

"The Taizai, the assistant of the emperor, leads hundreds of officials, governs the world, and helps the common people." Gu Yunyuan let go of his hand, his face became calm, and his eyes were long and far-reaching, "Since we want to rule the world, we must know the world." The North Sea is about to belong to our dynasty, and as the prime minister of the country that will govern it in the future, how can I not know it. That's why the lower officials have to experience it personally, know its landforms, know its folk customs, know its culture... It depends on watching How it collapses, we know how to build it."

After he finished speaking, Feng Duying's expression did not change, but the tip of his eyebrows twitched, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.

"Furthermore, although I followed the Northern Expeditionary Army, I didn't go to the frontline battlefield. I know myself, swords, bows and horses are not my strengths." The general still refuses, so it can only be said that the general cares too much about dismissing an official, it is actually..." He paused at this point, and Feng Duying looked sideways at him, but he smiled, not afraid of death Said, "The general is reluctant to let go of the slightest danger."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the gaze in Feng Duying's phoenix eyes had turned into a sword light, so powerful that he could cut people into several sections, but Gu Yunyuan faced him calmly, without fear or fear, in a chic and calm manner.

Obviously, Feng Duying knew about it a long time ago, so he took a look and then withdrew his gaze, passed through the durian flowers, crossed the courtyard wall, and fell far away.

Gu Yunyuan looked at her and smiled silently.

After a moment of silence in the courtyard, Feng Duying said: "Since you have such a reason, then go."

"Thank you, General, for your success." Gu Yunyuan smiled, "If you are an official, you will be with the General from birth to death."

Here we go again. Feng Duying helplessly raised his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows, "The suffering in the army is beyond your imagination, and you can do everything yourself." Then he made a move, and Du Kang's figure walked out from the shade of a tree in the distance. "You have heard it just now, go and add Mr. Gu's name."

"Yes." Du Kang took the order and went.

Feng Duying turned around and moved to the bamboo couch, still pressing her forehead with one hand and holding the teacup with the other.

Gu Yunyuan saw it, but he didn't move, still sitting on the bamboo chair.

After waiting for a while, Feng Duying finally moved his eyes to look at Gu Yunyuan again, but didn't want to meet his eyes.

"Did I give you such a headache?"

The faint and deep voice, different from the frivolous and teasing moments before, the clear eyes at this moment are as deep as an ancient pond because they contain too many things too deep, being looked at by such eyes, Feng Duying can't help but His heartstrings trembled, and he was stunned for a moment.

"After all these years, did I just give you a headache?" Gu Yunyuan sighed with a wry smile.

Feng Duying listened, and finally there was a glint of light in his cold and calm phoenix eyes, "Gu Yunyuan, don't put your mind on this general."

Gu Yunyuan closed his eyes. Such a simple sentence fell into the ear, as if a knife was scratched in the heart.

This is the first time in several years that Feng Duying has not ignored his thoughts indifferently, and it is also the first time in several years that he has responded to his thoughts. It's a pity...

"Gu Yunyuan, there are as many good women in the world as flowers." Feng Duying put down his teacup, tilted his head, and looked at the pomegranate tree lightly, "You just need to look up, and you will naturally find the most worthy one." You cherish it."

Gu Yunyuan followed her gaze, quietly looking at the fiery red durian flowers all over the tree, and after a while, he whispered: "Back then, I saw you the first day I stepped into the imperial capital."

Hearing the words, Feng Duying just got up and walked under the pomegranate tree without saying a word, but that slender figure naturally exudes an indifference that is thousands of miles away from others.

"That day you were like this..." Gu Yunyuan looked at her back, with memories in his eyes, "Strutting forward without looking sideways, that posture is as noble as a phoenix in the clouds, making Dao Everyone on both sides...whether they are officials or civilians, the moment they saw you, they couldn't help but bow their heads. But I was reluctant to bow my head at that time. I looked at you, and the thought that came to my heart at that moment I want to walk with you, not follow behind you like Du Kang, but stand beside you and walk side by side with you."

Feng Duying's back is motionless.

Gu Yunyuan didn't care whether she responded, and said in a low voice: "Walking side by side with you, but I don't want to just walk forward with you without squinting. There are many people on the street, many There are many shops, many things... I want to take you to have a cup of tea in a tea house by the road, or to buy two buns in a bun shop and eat one by one while walking; I want to take you into an antique shop or an antique shop by the street. Choose one or two favorite things for you in the jewelry shop; pull you to stop for a moment to look at the flowers and trees on the roadside, and look at the people passing by... I just want to pull you, walk together, and watch together .I want to tell you, don’t keep walking and looking forward like that, and occasionally turn around and look back, stay for a while, and rest for a while.”

Listening to the words behind him, Feng Duying's heart felt as if he had been hit hard by something.

No one has ever said such a thing to her, and no one has dared to speak to her like this. She turned around and looked into a pair of eyes that were as firm as a rock and as pure as a clear spring, and her mind wandered for a moment.

This person, after being repeatedly reprimanded and wronged, can still stand in front of her so calmly when he is so humble now, and still express his heart without being humble, for several years. Suddenly thinking of another person in my heart, I suddenly feel sore and unbearable. If that person could do the same back then, why is it today.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help smiling at Gu Yunyuan, relaxed and light without a hint of arrogance and indifference, like the sunset glow gradually fading in the twilight, the dazzling light has faded, but the faint lingering aftertaste is even more swaying. soul-stirring.

"Gu Yunyuan, I am very grateful for your kindness, but... I have never had such an honor in my life." Her voice was no longer as distant as if it came from high above the sky, but it was like a whisper in the ear.

Such an answer is not unexpected, but looking at the smile on her lips that was as quiet and empty as the first snow, Gu Yunyuan's heart was as cold as a winter night, "Why?"

Feng Duying raised his hand, as if he wanted to pick off a durian flower, but retracted his hand when his fingertips touched the petals, took a breath, and then the voice came out in harmony with the breath, like a low and long cry sigh. "Gu Yunyuan, look at my infinite beauty today, but you don't know how I have passed the past twenty years." She looked down at her hands, "You don't know how many **** sins have been on my hands, and you You can't know me before I was five years old." Looking up at the man in front of him, his phoenix eyes were full of ice and snow, "Gu Yunyuan, you and I are too far away."

Gu Yunyuan was startled, but before he could speak, Feng Duying raised his hand to stop him: "A person like you should choose a good woman from IKEA and IKEA, and then have children, and then show off your ambitions and become a good girl." A generation of virtuous ministers whose name will go down in history. This is the end of my words."

After the words fell, she turned around and left without waiting for Gu Yunyuan to respond.

Looking at her back disappearing at the end of the long corridor, the courtyard full of flowers and flowers was instantly empty, Gu Yunyuan stood quietly, and then sighed softly for a moment: "I haven't had time to participate in the past, so why would I care about it? You And I started when I saw you in the street that day, although I am far away, I will approach step by step, and one day I will stand in front of you."

The person who wanted to tell that sentence had gone far away, but he told the empty yard, it didn't matter if she couldn't hear it, as long as he could do it.

Collecting his thoughts and gathering energy, he stood up from the bamboo chair, turned around and was about to leave, but he froze when he turned around.

Under the pagoda tree in front, Fengji didn't know when he would arrive, nor how long he had been standing there.

There are two people in the yard, one is ordinary in appearance, but is only an eighth-rank civil servant, and is at the bottom of the official rank;

But at that moment, the two men faced each other with a distance of several feet.

One has deep eyes, graceful and elegant like a jade tree;

Looking at each other for a long time, the two nodded slightly to each other, then one entered and the other left the mansion.

When they passed by, a gust of evening wind blew by, but in June, it was as cold as a knife.
