Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky: Seven, cloud who thinks 4
When she said these words, her eyes were soft and bright, there was a faint smile on her lips, and the sharpness between her brows faded away, like a pearl covered with a thin veil, with a touch of charm all over her body, graceful and graceful. Qingli.
Looking at her like this, Yi San felt both liking and sadness in his heart, so he turned his gaze away and asked, "At that time... your fourth brother, did you know that you liked him?"
Feng Duying smiled lightly, seeming to be ridiculed or helpless, "How can such a smart person not know, not only he knows, but several brothers actually know, at that time they were all happy to see the success, fourth brother ...Fourth brother, he also..." She closed her eyes and remained silent when she said this, bitterness appeared on her face.
Although Yi San didn't look at her, he could also hear the astringency in her voice. Thinking of their status as brothers and sisters today, he couldn't help sighing, so he asked: "At first, because Why not?"
"My daughter's family can get married when they are fourteen or five years old. It was also at that time that we conquered three cities. Although the territory is small, as long as we take Minzhou, our power will increase greatly and we will be able to It can be regarded as the overlord of one side, but it can compete with other heroes in the world." Feng Duying opened his eyes, and his eyes were cold and bright again.
Hearing this, Yi San said with emotion, "Minzhou, the land is wide and the mountains are high. I have been there before, and the terrain there is extremely complicated and steep."
Feng Duying nodded, "Minzhou is backed by Minshan Mountain and has a natural screen battle. Webster's entrenched in Fujian Province for more than ten years, and basically blocked Minzhou for more than ten years. There is a small city outside the state city, called the Outer City, which allows merchants from all over the world to trade with each other for the needs of Minzhou. People from the outer city cannot enter Minzhou, and people from Minzhou, except those sent by Webster to trade with the outer city Officials are not allowed to leave the city. It can be said that the people of Minzhou do not know the world, and the people of the world do not know Minzhou, and because of the geographical advantages, Minzhou can be described as an impregnable fortress. For more than ten years, there are many people who want to capture Fujian. .”
Yi San then asked: "Then how did you conquer Minzhou?"
Feng Duying did not answer immediately, but silently looked at the beach in the distance, dazed for a while, and then said: "At that time, the master of Webster was Wei Teng, and his princess had a younger sister. The difference between the sisters is twenty Yu Sui was brought up by the concubine's side since she was a child, named younger sister, but the couple treated her as if they were their own, and loved her very much. This lady is proficient in musical instruments, especially harp, so Wei Teng built a special one in the palace for this reason. In the 'Quyu Garden', there are many talented people who are good at various musical instruments, and the young lady often goes to the garden to listen to the music, or arrange music with those people."
Yi San thought that they were talking about her and her fourth brother, but they specifically mentioned this lady, maybe it was... He moved his eyes to Feng Duying.
"The so-called knowing ourselves and the enemy can win every battle. We must know Minzhou if we want to conquer Minzhou. At that time, it was too difficult to enter the city of Minzhou. I agree." Feng Duying paused for a moment, as if taking a breath, before continuing, "The fourth brother pretended to be a traveling scholar and went to Minzhou. Planting jade, green as green as water, when he comes back, he will bring me a piece of good jade as a token."
Yi San's heart skipped a beat. Thinking that he promised the "token", that means he intends to propose marriage. Staring at Feng Duying, seeing her dull expression, he felt a little astringent in his chest for a moment.
"It's just that he came back two months later and told me that he can't give me a token anymore." Speaking of this, Feng Duying suddenly smiled lightly, but the phoenix eyes were shining brightly, as if carrying three lives sad.
"Why?" Yi San tried his best to restrain himself from reaching out.
"Because the fourth brother betrayed a girl, he not only betrayed her full of affection, but also killed her." Feng Duying drooped his eyes, hiding his thoughts, his voice was light but difficult suppress bitterness.
"The lady from Minzhou?" Yi San finally stretched out his hand and lightly pressed Feng Duying's shoulder.
Feng Duying nodded, closed his eyes, his long eyelashes were covered, as thick and black as if soaked in water. Yi San's heart was stabbed like a needle, and he stared blankly at her for a while, unable to sort out the chaos in his heart and wipe away the pain in his heart, just looking at the curl of eyelashes like ink butterflies resting quietly, But lingering with sadness.
"Fourth brother's flute music...that is a touching sound." Feng Duying sighed deeply, "So he only played one song in the outer city of Minzhou, and it shocked the entire outer city. The next day Then a Webster official asked him to come into the city to play the flute for the young lady." The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she smiled indistinctly, "My fourth brother is like... the third brother once said to the fourth brother' Fourth brother, if one day you have some facts that you can’t solve, just smile at people, and you will be invincible’. Although the fourth brother is not what the ancients said, ‘a smile can conquer the country’, but when he plays the flute for you , when he smiles lightly at you, there is no woman in this world who can't help falling in love."
A long sigh finally overflowed gently, the perched ink butterfly spread its wings again, and the shining eyes that looked like stars opened again, "It's just that what happened between the fourth brother and that young lady back then, what happened to him in the end?" He never said how he left Minzhou, so we don’t know. After returning, the fourth brother had nightmares at night and remained silent during the day. His appearance was almost the same as when we first met him. No matter we I asked him anything, but he didn't say anything. Then one day, he told me that he was a sinner and could no longer give me tokens."
After those words were finished, Yi San acted as if he hadn't heard her, just stared at her in a daze, seeing the opening of the eyes, the fluttering of the eyelashes, he approached in a trance, slowly stretched out his hand, and finally the fingertips Touching the long and dense eyelashes like black butterflies, soft as light feathers, at that moment he said like a dream: "Why does a person like you have such fragile eyelashes like butterfly wings?" Sighing like regret, Feng Duying was stunned on the spot, and didn't respond for a long time. When he came back to his senses, Yi San had already let go of his hand, looking forward, with a serious expression on his face and furrowed brows, as if he was thinking about something The eternal problem.
Feng Duying opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
For a while, the atmosphere in the corridor was dark and warm.
After a long time, Yi Sandao said: "What can't you figure out? To this day, the identities of your brothers and sisters are well known in the world, not to mention that you are both important ministers of the country. It is impossible to throw away your responsibility and elope. What are you thinking?" His voice was as clear as transparent thin ice.
Feng Duying was silent, thinking of what Dong Shixiu said to her on the top of the tent that night in Xuancheng. At that time, the siege of the city was imminent. How could she not understand. After a long while, she sighed softly, seemingly helpless and relieved, "I have a big brother who is willing to do anything for me, even if he wants to risk the world, even if he is not willing, as long as it can make me happy, he will do anything for me." will do it.”
Yi San looked back, "Who are you talking about?"
"The one sitting on the dragon chair today." Feng Duying narrowed her eyes slightly, as if looking at her brother in the distance.
"Then..." Yi Sanben wanted to say that since the emperor is in charge, there is nothing difficult to think about, but looking at Feng Duying's face, there is no trace of joy, his brows are lightly arched, and his eyes are far away, as if there are thousands of people in front of him. There are so many mountains and thousands of waters, so heavy and so far away, the sound stopped for a while. I think that even if they can get married according to the order now, they will also be slandered by the world, not to mention...
"Xi has Changchu, and Yi Nuo has its branches. Young people are fertile, and happy children are ignorant." Suddenly, Feng Duying sighed faintly, then stood up, and walked slowly to the seaside, the sun was shining all over his body, and his gaze was from behind Looking at it, I only feel blazing and dazzling. [Note ○2]
Yi San sat on the porch, watching her go further and further away. "The young are fertile, and the ignorance of the happy child" is like "the child is not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish". Life is alive, it is always about joys and sorrows. If she and her fourth brother had gotten married when they were young, they would not be in the dilemma they are in today. What's more, after so many years, how many people and things they have experienced, they are no longer the crazy and passionate teenagers they were back then.
"Maybe you can't figure it out yourself." He murmured softly, feeling melancholy for a moment.
That love, too early to be tempted, too deeply engraved, can't be left behind, can't bear to forget.
But now, when what she has been looking forward to for many years is about to appear in front of her eyes, she is at a loss and hesitates.
