Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky Chapter 16: 、Fengqi Qingzhou 4

After the rebel army was wiped out, Feng Duying stayed in Qincheng for two days to appease the people, appointed a new governor and deputy capital, and then set off back to the capital under the admiration and admiration of the people all over the city.

After returning to the court, she bestowed rewards on the ministers, among which Xu Shi, the prime minister of the country, and Uncle Yan Xia, the governor of the capital, were the most generous.

On July 26th, Fengji bid farewell, and Feng Duying saw him off in person.

After sending out the capital, Xiaowai was sent out, but Feng Duying didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, and Fengji didn't even intend to stop them. At the front, hundreds of guards followed ten feet behind, and Li Zexing had already led the army one step ahead.

After being sent dozens of miles away, the two of them reined in their horses almost at the same time, looked at each other, smiled slightly, and got off their horses.

"Take a break." Feng Duying let go of the white horse's reins.

"Okay." Fengji also let go of the black horse's rein.

The two walked slowly towards the river side by side. The bright autumn sun was shining on the broad river, as if countless gold were floating, and the light was shining brightly. On the reeds by the riverside, when the autumn wind blows, the fallen trees by the river are rustling, and the dead leaves go with the wind like butterflies.

"This Lan River starts from Kunwu Mountain, runs through Yongzhou and Qingzhou, and goes straight into Biyahai." Fengji raised his eyes and looked at the river going south.

Feng Duying squatted down by the river, held out a handful of water, watched the water rushing from between his fingers, was slightly dazed, and then said softly: "Go up the Lan River, and you will arrive at Yongzhou; Walking down the Lan River, we came to Qingzhou... Fourth brother, thinking about it this way, we are next to the river, very close."

Fengji saw her squatting by the river, the river between her fingers had already flowed out, but she still stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to hold back the surging southward river. He lowered his eyes, and with an elegant smile on his face, he said: "It's very close. In winter, I will go down by boat, and you go up by boat, and we will meet halfway. Then you warm a pot of wine, and we Play a flute and enjoy the rustling of the first snow.”

Feng Duying listened, raised his eyes and looked north along the river, as if he had seen the future, he couldn't help but smiled and said: "We can also fish in the river, and then we can cook fish by the river , It’s cold at night, so I drink warm Tusu wine, and when the moon reaches mid-day, I feel drunk, you play a song "Drunk Fish Sing Evening", and I dance swords for you."

The two of them couldn't help looking at each other as they spoke, seeing the smiles on each other's faces, the yearning in each other's eyes, and the bitterness and secret pain in each other's hearts.

Looking at each other for a while, Feng Duying got up and walked closer, within a short distance, she slightly raised her head to look at Fengji, her phoenix eyes glowed softly, "Fourth brother, I will send you here, I only hope that one day you and I will be able to take a boat on the Lan River to watch the snow, and go fishing and grilled fish."

"Seventh Sister..." Fengji looked at the woman who was close to her. Due to her injuries, she was thin and pale, and she was unbearable. A word that has been read.

It's surprising how haggard I've been lately. For the farewell, lovesickness.

In my previous life, I was in debt to your troubles. It's hard to untie it. 【Note ○1】

Thinking silently in my heart, I feel sad for a moment, and I can't help murmuring softly, "Today, did I miss you, or did the world miss us?"

The murmur was so soft, but Feng Duying still heard it. He was stunned for a moment, looked at Fengji in a daze, then stretched out his hand, took his hand and held it, "Fourth brother, don't be so self-sufficient." .”

The moment the two hands were clasped, Fengji trembled, and then he moved his wrist, holding her hand instead, lowering his eyes, and murmured softly as if talking to himself, "This life will be hard to escape."

Feng Duying's chest was blocked, and he could not help but grasp Fengji's hand, and whispered in a calm but painful voice: "Fourth brother, if you and I change positions, we will have to end up today. "

Feng Ji was startled, looked up at her, wanted to speak but was speechless.

"In this world, I am the only one who can best understand the hardships and pains of the fourth brother." Feng Duying stared at him, the eyes of the phoenix were faintly rippling, but calm again in the next moment.

The meaning hidden in this short sentence is probably only understood by Fengji in this world. Thinking of the past, Feng Qingran, and what Jiuyao said, he felt suffocated and held her hand Can't help tightening up, "Seventh sister, don't think about that again, I don't think he has ever blamed you, and I believe he doesn't want you to suffer from this for the rest of your life."

Feng Duying nodded, and quickly agreed, "Okay, I won't think about that anymore, and fourth brother should stop thinking about the past, let's put those painful things aside."

Hearing the words, Feng Ji stared at her deeply.

Feng Duying didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

At this moment, the time by the river seems so long and quiet, with a slight sadness of nostalgia.

The two looked at each other, their minds were full of thoughts, the past was like water flowing between their fingers, and there was a faint echo in their brains.

When they were young, they were in love with each other, but they stopped because of sin and guilt. Later, they had no time to care about their children's love in the **** battles of the army and horses. He and her are mixed with countless people and countless things... They spend half their lives, but in the end, their love is deep and their relationship is shallow.

After a long time, Feng Duying said, "Fourth brother, even if people in the world hate you and hate you, I have never had one. Since I can remember, I have respected you and admired you. Although there are thousands of men in the world, but No one is as good as you, even today, I will not change my original intention, and my fourth brother will always be the number one hero in my heart who has love, righteousness, wisdom and unparalleled wisdom in the world."

She has never said such words before. At this moment, the low and inaudible whisper seems to be said to herself, and it seems to be just whispered to the opposite person. wind.

Fengji heard it, and the moment he heard it, his heart was cut like a knife, and he couldn't help being filled with sorrow, his eyes were hot, he raised his head and closed his eyes tightly, even though the breath passing from his chest to his throat was like fire The pain was unbearable, but he still said clearly word by word: "Okay, let's put aside those things in the past, I will always be the number one hero in the world in your heart, and you will always be the only sister in the world in my heart. "

"En." Feng Duying nodded and smiled, the moment his eyelids drooped, there seemed to be drops of water, but when he raised his eyes, the eyes of the phoenix were clear, as bright as gems immersed in water, "fourth brother , In the past, you always saw me off, this time I want to watch you go."

"Okay." Fengji nodded.

The hands that were held together by the two slowly let go, both wanting to keep the warmth between the fingers for a while longer, but no matter how slow you let go, the part connecting the fingers is only so long, when the fingertips separate, The two resolutely withdrew their hands at the same time, one turned and left, and the other put his hands behind his back.

Fengji stepped on his mount, the steed could not help but raise its head and neigh, as if it couldn't wait to let its hooves go, Fengji reined in the reins, looked at the wind alone by the river, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Mr. Qing Hui, He..." He just said a name, then stopped, wanting to say that Qing Huijun is a man with an open mind and an open mind, and that he treats you with deep affection and righteousness, but he can't say anything, like a yellow lotus holding his throat, bitter unspeakable.

"Don't worry, fourth brother." Feng Duying looked up at the clear sky above, "No matter how deep Jiu Luo's hatred is, no matter how much Jiu Yao hates and hurts him, he will eventually take care of me."

Feng Ji was startled slightly, looking at her.

"Jiuyao is Gu Yunyuan, and Gu Yunyuan is Jiuyao." The corners of Feng Duying's lips curled slightly, trying to smile, but in the end he failed.

Fengji was stunned for a while, then he remembered the frivolous scholar in the imperial capital who ignored his fame and fortune but was fearless and asked for marriage several times, after a long silence, he smiled faintly, nodded and said: "Then I don't worry. "As the words fell, the whip in his hand also dropped, and the horse galloped away in an instant, with the sound of hooves shaking the ground behind, more than a hundred riders followed closely.

The wind alone shadow stands by the river, the wind blows her clothes, but her figure is like a solid silhouette, motionless looking at the rider in front of her going north against the Taotao river.

When the horse was galloping, Feng Ji looked back, but saw a big blue bird slowly flying towards the sky with a person on its back, his hand trembled suddenly, and he almost wanted to stop the horse, but in the end it was just Let the horse run away with him on his back. Seeing blue birds flying to the river bank from a distance, and then the sky blue figure slowly approaching the river, the person is tall and straight, and under the bright autumn sun, it is like a blue sycamore glowing with warmth and vitality.

Looking at the pair of figures standing side by side by the river, Fengji's chest was like a huge boulder falling down, making him unable to breathe, but a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Fenghuang'er, from now on, fourth brother can really rest assured, because this man will accompany you and guard you.

This man——

When the phoenix flies, he is the sky.

When the phoenix falls, he is the phoenix tree.

"Drink the Cangwu Spring in the morning, and live in the blue sea mist in the evening. I would rather know the meaning of the phoenix and the phoenix, and hold the chair in front of the tree." He laughed wildly, shaking the sky, but couldn't help feeling sad. 【Note ○2】

※※※

After running for several miles, he joined the army led by Li Zexing and set off back to Yongzhou.

On the way, Fengji galloped his horse like lightning, as if he couldn't wait to go back, and as if he was afraid of the people behind him, he ran day and night, so four days later, he arrived at Yong and Qing. The junction of the two states.

Seeing the boundary marker ahead, Fengji reined in his horse, and slowly turned his head to stare at Qingzhou.

Looking around, the wilderness is boundless, the wind is blowing, the grass is breaking, the birds are flying and the leaves are dancing, but there is no longer that woman staring at each other.

Looking up, the sky is clear and blue, with white clouds drifting, reminding him of the pair of figures by the river.

That man can let go of his hatred, whether it is for the people or for her, he can praise his broad-mindedness, just like the boundless blue sky above, and the phoenix is ​​like those white clouds, floating freely, but always in front of him in his arms. And myself... probably just the dark, starless night sky, covering up Phoenix's brilliance, and making Phoenix lose his way unknowingly.

"Master, look!"

Suddenly a shout came from his ear, and he looked away, and saw the guard beside him pointing behind him and shouting in surprise, turning his horse's head to look, his brow slightly moved.

"It's the princess who came to welcome the Lord!"

In the distance from the boundary monument, the guards came rushing in a luxurious chariot.

Fengji saw that he drove his horse forward slowly, when he crossed the boundary marker, there was a movement in his chest, as if something was flying away soundlessly, his whole body was empty in an instant, half nothingness, half silence.

The chariot stopped in front, and then stepped down a young woman, in her early twenties, with simple clothes, slender figure, oval face, fat muscles, no color, only a pair of eyes like lacquer Extraordinarily bright and handsome, standing in front of the car, looking at Fengji approaching slowly with affection in a gentle smile, the whole person is as quiet and elegant as a lady walking out of an ancient painting, with a scholarly fragrance lingering all over her body.

"Yunxiu, why did you come out?" Fengji dismounted.

Looking at Fengji's quiet smile, Du Yunxiu stretched out his hand to take his hand, raised his finger and gently wrote on his palm, "See you in a day, like three autumns." 【Note ○3】

Fengji smiled and stopped, "Let's go back."

Du Yunxiu nodded silently.

After helping Du Yunxiu get into the car, Fengji still rode the horse and walked slowly with the chariot. don't look at him.

Looking at those eyes, Feng Ji suddenly remembered the look of Feng Duying by the Lan River watching him go, he couldn't help being dazed for a moment, and suddenly stretched out his hand, wanting to brush away the strands of wind blown by the wind With hair on the temples, he suddenly woke up in the middle of the journey, dropped his hand to the curtain of the car, and said with a smile: "The autumn wind is cold, don't catch the cold."

Du Yunxiu nodded silently, then lowered the car curtain, blocking each other's sight.

Feng Ji slowly suppressed his smile and raised his eyes to look forward.

In front of him is Yongzhou, where he belongs, and the quiet gentleness beside him will silently accompany him to the end.
