Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky: Ten, De Yin Mo Violation 9

After Yu Yantian left Lingxiao Palace, he left the palace. Walking through the streets and alleys, all the way to Fengfu, just in front of the mansion, I met Du Kang who came back with some medicines.

In Fengfu's study room, Feng Duying was sitting at the desk, holding a volume of books in his hand, but staring out the window in a daze.

There is a plum tree in the yard outside the window, it is a white plum, and its snow-white petals are swaying in the wind, just like snowflakes flying in the air.

After being in a daze for a while, Feng Duying turned his gaze back to the book, but couldn't read a word, so he had no choice but to put it down.

When she got up, a plum petal flew in from the window and fluttered down on the table. She picked up the snow-white petal, looked at it quietly for a moment, then put it on the white jade silk paper on the table, and lifted it up. I passed the pen, dipped in the ink, and wrote on the paper:

Snow is like plum blossoms, and plum blossoms are like snow. Both similarity and dissimilarity are amazing. Who knows the annoying flavor? May I ask you to take Nanlouyue.

Remember last year, the plum blossom season. [Note ○2]

Before finishing a poem, Du Kang's voice sounded outside the window: "General, Mr. Yu is here."

She paused, shook her hand, and a drop of ink fell onto the paper. Putting down his pen, he moved to the door and opened it, and saw Du Kang standing on the porch. In the yard behind him, Yu Yantian stood under the plum with his hands behind his back, like the gentleman of plum, Gao Jieruoxue.

"Jade Master." Feng Duying stepped out of the study.

Yu Yantian looked up at a tree of plum blossoms, and said, "Fenghuang, how about enjoying the plum blossoms and drinking under this tree with my teacher?"

Feng Duying nodded, then turned to signal Du Kang to prepare.

After a while, Du Kang led several servants to bring tables, chairs and screens. The chairs were covered with thick cushions, and the screens were surrounded by trees to block the wind. wine.

Master and apprentice sit opposite each other under the plum blossom.

"You all go down." Feng Duying ordered.

"Yes." Du Kang led the servants back.

Feng Duying took the jug and filled two glasses of wine, then took a glass and brought it to Yu Yantian, "Master Yu, please."

Yu Yantian raised his hand to take the wine handed over by Feng Duying, smelled it first, and said: "Pear flower brewing."

"Yeah." Feng Duying picked up another cup.

"Clear and mellow, wonderful." Yu Yantian praised after taking a sip.

Feng Duying also took a sip, and then said: "This is what Sister Xiao Ai brewed and sent over this year."

"Oh?" Yu Yantian slightly raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect to drink the wine she brewed today."

"There are a lot of things that I couldn't think of back then." Feng Duying said quietly, with a faint tiredness in his slightly drooping eyebrows and eyes.

Yu Yantian shifted his eyes to look at her when he heard the words.

"When we were begging and wandering, how could we have thought that one day we would be in the mountains and rivers." Feng Duying looked down at the wine glass in his hand, and the clear glass reflected the plum blossoms like snow above his head. Lian Xueyi, circles, layers, seemed endless. "Jade Master, when we met at the foot of Tianzhi Mountain, have you counted today?"

Yu Yantian didn't answer, but just looked at Feng Duying quietly.

At this time, a blue bird suddenly chirped and flew around the plum tree, singing crisply among the flower branches, breaking the silence in the courtyard instantly, making people think it was spring in an instant.

Yu Yantian raised his head and looked at the light greenness flying in the snowy plum trees, with a smile as light as a floating cloud on his lips. He was not surprised to see the blue bird flying on Feng Duying's shoulder, but just stretched his arms Raising his hand, the blue bird tilted its head and looked at him, then spread its wings and flew up, landed on his palm, flapping its wings lightly while chirping, its gesture seemed extremely joyful.

Feng Duying was surprised when he saw it, this was the first time he saw Qingniao get close to others.

"What a clever little thing." Yu Yantian looked at the blue bird singing like a song in his palm, gave a soft compliment, and then raised his hand, "Go." The blue bird obediently flew up and circled in midair Landed on the plum tree after the circle.

"Phoenix." Yu Yantian's eyes moved from the blue bird on the branch to the lonely shadow of the wind, his gaze was as clear as a mirror, "At the bottom of Tianzhi Mountain, you and I never thought that there would be today, but on Jiuluo Mountain, you will definitely Today has been expected."

Feng Duying was startled, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Yu Yantian, startled and dazed.

Yu Yantian looked at Feng Duying's expression and looked extremely calm, "I taught you eight people by myself. The person who understands you best in this world is naturally your teacher."

Feng Duying looked at Yu Yantian in a daze, opened his mouth, but closed it again.

"Although I've lived in the mountains these years, I still know about the world's affairs." Yu Yantian said quietly, "When you left back then, you brothers and sisters swore to be of one heart and one mind and never lose each other. I am naturally relieved, but Today's situation is not surprising."

Feng Duying's heart skipped a beat again, and he stared blankly at Yu Yantian, "Master Yu has already expected this?"

"Whether in troubled times or prosperous times, what people are fighting for is nothing more than fame, fortune, and power." Yu Yantian turned his head, his gaze fell through the screen and looked into the distance, "there are seven of you in court, and the others There will never be a bright future. For your own rights and interests, you are naturally the thorn in the flesh that needs to be removed. If the emperor treats you coldly, the officials may not push so hard, but the emperor will never do this. If he really did this, the friendship between the eight of you will definitely change, and if there is a slight difference, it will be a death situation where the emperor kills the minister and the minister opposes the emperor. No matter which choice you choose, you can't have the best of both worlds, so when you left back then when you asked each other The teacher kept silent."

"Because it's useless to say it, isn't it?" Feng Duying's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, with a wry smile, "Jade Master let us choose by ourselves, let us go by ourselves, and today's situation is also created by us." /

Yuyantian reciprocated with a sigh.

"One heart and one mind, never parting." Feng Duying said softly, "But we failed to keep it. People swear and promise to never change, but often these things that don't want to change change in the end. , it seems that this oath promise is meant to be used by people to renege on it."

Yu Yantian quietly took a sip of wine, put down his glass, and suddenly asked: "When you married the Liang family back then, do you know why you chose your elder brother as a teacher?"

Feng Duying hesitated slightly, and said, "Because... he is the eldest brother."

Yu Yantian nodded, then shook his head again, "Of course because he is the boss, but more importantly because of him."

Feng Duying was stunned for a moment, and then he vaguely understood.

"The eight of you are naturally excellent." Yuyan showed a gentle smile on his face, obviously happy to have such a disciple in his heart, "It's just that each has its own shortcomings. Huangdi is upright and steady, but Too serious and serious; Jingyuan is clever, but suspicious by nature; Feng is extremely talented, but too demanding; Yima is gentle and mature, but too cautious; Jingtai is flexible and tactful, but too stingy and loves money; Xiaoba As cute as a doll, but like a doll is fickle and unpredictable... As for you, Fenghuang, your nature is as determined as a man's, but it's a pity that you are too proud and stubborn."

Feng Duying listened silently.

"If any of the six of them becomes emperor, they will never be where they are today, and they will not split the soil and divide up power like your elder brother to preserve their siblings and their friendship." Yuyan still had a faint smile on his face, It's just that the eyes are slightly clear, "It's not that the six of them are ruthless, but that when this situation comes, they will be more serious."

Feng Duying's heart sank, although he knew it was just a hypothesis, but his heart was very complicated.

"Shixiu naturally has shortcomings. He is unrestrained, domineering and self-willed. In fact, he would be happier if he became a knight like Chong Yuan. But I choose him as emperor because he values ​​love and righteousness the most, and it is also yours. He is the person who has the least desire for power.” Yu Yantian looked at Feng Duying, with an almost stern sense in his plain expression, “Only if he becomes the emperor, the remaining seven of you will not be killed like rabbits.” As a result, only he can tolerate the outstanding talents of Huangdi, Jingyuan, and Fengji, and he will not mind that they are more respected by courtiers and people than him."

Feng Duying listened, his heart tightened, but there was a sour feeling, stuck in his throat, a dull pain.

"Fenghuang'er, the person who understands him best in this world is his teacher, but his closest relative in the world is neither his wife nor his son, but you, isn't it?" So quietly looking at the wind Duying.

Feng Duying raised his hand, picked up the wine glass on the table, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, then held the small porcelain cup and stroked the cold side of the glass.

"Fenghuang'er, as long as you brought back not the bereaved of Jiu Luo, today's outcome could have been avoided, but you still want to..." Yu Yantian suddenly stopped talking halfway, looking at the girl who was playing with the wine glass with her head down. Lover, shook his head and sighed lightly, and didn't say any more.

"Jade Master." After a while, Feng Duying said softly, "You are right, the person who treats me the closest and the best in this world is my elder brother, I don't know."

Yu Yantian listened and just took a sip of wine silently.

"On Jiuluo Mountain, I rescued Jiuyao..." Feng Duying smiled, but the corners of her brows and eyes couldn't hold back the sadness, but she was obviously not used to showing such a look, so she turned her head to avoid the loving gaze of her mentor . "The moment I saved him, I knew what I was about to face, but I saved it anyway. I saved Jiuyao, not Gu Yunyuan, because we have already killed his family and relatives, and we can no longer take his name away." Last name, also because..." She took a deep breath and swallowed the burning pain in her throat, "I have to do it, I have to do that."

"Fenghuang'er..." Yu Yantian called out, with more pity in his eyes, but even he was powerless to deal with the sadness in his lover's heart.

Feng Duying filled the pot with wine, then raised his glass and drank it up, as if swallowing all the misery in one gulp, without giving himself a chance to hesitate. When she put down the cup, no emotion could be seen on her face, "Fourth Brother and I...for so many years, we can't advance, we can't retreat...I...will stop thinking about it."

She slowly loosened her five fingers and let go of the wine glass, but her fingertips trembled slightly. She stretched out her hand and filled the wine glass again. The warmth made her voice even colder, it seemed to be colder than the cold wind this winter. "Master Yu, I always remember what you said when you gave orders for me. I am not afraid of killing or killing my life in more than ten years of fighting, but I don't want to have the tragedy on Luoshan that day. Teacher, since I'm destined to bring seven evil spirits, and the evil of killing is heavy. Love is a catastrophe, and the disaster is boundless." Then the last thing I want to hurt in this life is my brother, and the eight of us who have been in peace for ten years. A piece of Jiangshan."

Sure enough. Yu Yantian couldn't help sighing, "So you're going to marry a long-lost widow, and you want to leak the news on purpose."

Feng Duying's lips curled into a slight arc, as if bitter and mocking, "Master Yu, since you know the eight of us best, then you know very well that even if I saved Jiuyao, won't he give me back in the future?" The third brother's execution in secret is to be beheaded by the eldest brother. Only he is my husband-in-law, no matter how much my brother hates him, he will never kill him."

Yu Yantian didn't say a word, but she knew in her heart that what she said was the truth.

"Back from the Northern Expedition, the impeachment of the courtiers is a warning. The eight of us all know it clearly, but none of us can bear it. Jiu Luo's bloodbath must never happen again, so I am the only one to do it. I saved Jiu Yao , came back to the imperial capital, but there are two results, one is that the eldest brother beheaded me and Jiuyao, and the other is that the eldest brother dismissed me from office and exiled to the border areas, both of which can calm down the resentment of all the officials." Feng Duying raised his head slightly, with long eyebrows Raised, there is a kind of resolute and unrepentant sternness.

A gust of cold wind blew past, blowing the screen to whine plum branches, and some plum blossoms fell in the wind, fluttering like snow petals, falling between the two people's clothes under the tree.

"But the eldest brother became king and divided the country, but I never thought of it..." In the rustling wind, she sighed and died with the wind.

Yu Yantian picked up a plum blossom that had fallen on the table, and read softly: "Chang Di's Hua, E Buwei Wei. All people today are like brothers. The power of death and death is brother Kong Huai. Yuan Xilin Yea, I beg you brother." [Note ○3]

In the voice of Qing Yin, Feng Duying slowly closed her eyes, half of her chest was cold and half was hot, and half of her eyes were sore and half painful, but she held her breath and closed her eyes without revealing the slightest bit. In front of her, she refused to reveal any fragility and grief.

Yu Yantian looked at Feng Duying, "For the sake of the bond between you brothers and sisters, for the world of the eight of you, you didn't even hesitate..." He suddenly stopped, and then sighed, "Fenghuang, the last It was you who cherished the friendship of the eight people, but you were the one who ruthlessly separated the eight people in the end."

Feng Duying's heart trembled, she opened her eyes, and the clear and lingling waves flashed in her phoenix eyes, but she looked up at the top, where the plum blossoms were swaying, the blue sky was clear, like a painting, but the wind blowing across her cheeks Cold as a knife.

"Yu Shi, to this day, the joys and sorrows I have experienced are countless, but I have no regrets."

"Fenghuang'er, if you weren't so stubborn and proud, maybe you would have lived a much easier and happier life, but... then you wouldn't be Fenghuang'er."
