Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight - Chapter 138
The sound of rain outside the window.
The night breeze blew into the room from the crevices wrapped in water vapor, adding a bit of coolness.
Yaoying changed her dress and sat in front of the lamp, wringing her long hair bit by bit.
When Sultan Gu hugged her, her whole body was stiff and cold, and her palms were also cold. She shuddered slightly when she was cold, and now he felt a little hot at the base of his neck where his palms were pressed against.
Was he really a gaffe from an old injury?
What a gaffe… Why do you want to hug her? Don’t hug other people?
Yaoying sat out for a while, curled up her long hair with a silk ribbon, wrote a short letter, and called her guards: “Give the letter to General Ashina, and say that I want to see General Su. Please help him to pass it on. .”
Instead of sitting here alone thinking about it, it’s better to ask Sultan Gu in person.
The soldier took the letter and went out, and happened to collide with Bamier who came to pass the message.
“Princess, General Ashina invites you to come over.”
Seeing his anxious expression, Yaoying put on a cloak and left with him, “What’s the matter?”
Bamir said: “General Su is sick, General Ashina asked the princess to come and have a look.”
Yaoying was stunned. Sultan Gu was really sick?
When he almost went crazy during his exercises last time, he did hug her too, and he also hugged her most of the night… That time he was also cold on his body, and he hugged her like a pillow.
The two walked across the courtyard holding umbrellas, splashing water, hurriedly rushed to a courtyard near the Xingtang, and climbed up the stairs.
With a lamp in his hand, Bi Suo walked down facing him, and his eyes fell on Yaoying: “Invite the princess to come over late at night, I will trouble the princess.”
Yaoying took off her hood and asked, “How is General Su?”
Bi Suo smiled and said to her: “I didn’t think about it well, which made the princess worry. The regent was just unwell for a while, and it’s all right now. I’m too reckless, and I’m sorry for the princess.”
Yaoying was dumbfounded and looked up at the door.
A tall and tall figure stood there, arrogant and vigorous, and the lights flickered. His scarred face was half bright and half dark, and his blue eyes were deep and calm.
Rain fell before the stage.
Yaoying looked at Sultan Gu, was silent for a while, and walked a few steps forward, “General Su is better?”
He looked down at her and nodded: “I’m okay, the princess is worried, the princess please go back.”
After that, turn to Bamier.
“Send the princess back.”
The tone is cold.
Bamire respectfully should be.
Bi Suo stood aside, not daring to speak.
A gust of wind blew, the rain suddenly became stronger, raindrops hit the roof of the tile, a crisp sound.
Yaoying stood in front of the steps and didn’t speak for a long time. There was no need to ask if she wanted to ask him.
The raindrops splashed and wet the corners of her skirt. She gathered her cloak and smiled: “The general is fine. It’s late at night. The general returns from the expedition. I will rest early. I will go back.”
Yaoying turned and left.
Bamier looked blank and hurriedly followed.
When the figures of the two disappeared deep in the corridor, Tamaragya staggered back and held the pillars to stabilize her figure.
Bi Suo stepped forward to help him.
He waved his hand, turned to enter the house, staggered to the front of the couch, and fell straight down.
Bi Suo sighed, “Wang, why are you…”
Tamaraga took the medicine, and just awoke when she learned that he had invited Li Yaoying over, struggling to get up, and indifferently asked Li Yaoying to leave.
I just hugged the princess, and turned his head to be so cold to the princess again, without a word of explanation, no matter how good the princess is, she will be annoyed.
Tamara Gha had been holding on for a long time, and he had already lost his strength, his consciousness became blurred again, his brows were furrowed, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.
“Don’t pull her in…”
I don’t know anything about others, and suddenly murmured.
A person in spiritual practice should not disturb her in the mortal world. For him, all this is just a trial, which is different for her.
No matter what capacity he appears in front of her, he shouldn’t cross the line.
He can’t make mistakes again and again.
Bi Suo shook his head and sighed, staying on the side of the bed, with mixed feelings in his heart.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Tamaraga woke up, and there was a floating blue light in front of the window.
The rain has stopped and the sky is bright.
He got up, as usual every day, the healer, took medicine, took off the headscarf, pulled off the scars, took off his clothes, put on the robes, found the string of prayer beads, hung it on his wrist, sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue, and meditated. .
The hug in the rain yesterday was just a moment of forgetfulness.
Clouds are pinned and rainy, the red sun is held out, the sun is shining, everything disappears.
He read a few scriptures, and Bi Suo and Bamir came to report the matter.
“Wang, everything is fine in the city during this time…”
Bi Suo said, with a complex expression on his face.
“Speaking of which, thanks to Princess Wen Zhao’s presence.”
Tamara Gha raised his eyes.
Bi Suo signaled to Bamier, and Bamier slowly said: “When Haidu Aling launched a surprise attack, all the ministers of the court came to the monastery. The prime minister personally appeared, presided over the affairs of the court, reprimanded the courtiers, and the courtiers dispersed, honestly. I went back to work as a errand. During this period, a monk in the monastery asked to see him. The young man followed the king’s instructions and found a reason to send them away.
The city is full of food, and the prime minister has issued a ban, and shops are afraid to increase prices. Everything is the same as usual, except that the city gates are closed, there is no difference.
“Unexpectedly, there will be Bei Rong fine works in the city long ago. General Ge Lu and the others will not be able to catch Haidu Aling for a while. The battle is in a stalemate and the people are afraid. Those fine works spread rumors and cause disturbances. They took the opportunity to cause riots and encourage the people. Assault the city gate…”
“The prime minister led the officials to the city gate to discourage the people. The people listened to the rumors, saying that the prime minister had sent his family out of the city long ago, and they wanted to leave the city too. No matter how the prime minister persuaded him, it was useless. The soldiers who defended the city suddenly beat the people, and then they became a mess… Daxiang led people to check the situation, and several women rushed out of the crowd to assassinate Daxiang! Daxiang was unprepared and was stabbed. Fortunately, the wound was very shallow. , It’s just a little broken.”
When Tamara Gha heard this, his brows wrinkled slightly.
After all, Daxiang was too honest, and he followed his instructions every step of the way, faithful to faithful, unable to adapt to the circumstances, so that he could not quell the small riots.
Bamier continued: “At this moment, Princess Wen Zhao suddenly appeared on the tower, and her soldiers rescued Da Xiang…”
That day, Li Yaoying suddenly appeared, rescued the prime minister, stood on the tower and persuaded the people, saying that the Buddha had arranged the defenders long ago, and Haidu Aling would definitely not be able to enter the holy city, and the people would be suspicious.
Bamier thought of the scene of the day and couldn’t help selling Guanzi: “King, do you guess what the princess did?”
Tamara Gap glanced at him lightly.
Bamier was full of excitement, remembering that she was reporting something, rather than bragging to her colleagues, and hurriedly said with a serious face: “The princess has been paying attention to the city’s movement, and hurried over when she heard the news. She stood on the tower and pointed to the crowd. The most ferocious people, apart from anything else, asked her soldiers to tie those people up!”
Li Yaoying showed herself in men’s clothing, with a face mask on her face. Her soldiers started to grab people. The people in the city were in an uproar. She was not afraid of the people’s advice and comments. She exposed the identities of those meticulous works on the spot. When she started investigating secretly, she only waited for those meticulously to jump out, so she could catch them all in one go.
At this time, Bamier heard that there was a riot in front of the city gate, and sent the monks and soldiers of the Wang Temple to deal with it.
From then on, no matter what rumors came out, the people regarded Bei Rong Xizuo as making waves and staying at home honestly.
There was a false alarm, and he became more vigilant. Several consecutive prohibitions were issued. Not only did the city have a curfew at night, but also martial law was enforced throughout the day. It was not until the day before yesterday that the army was about to triumph, and then the prohibition was lifted.
Bamier finished speaking and retreated to the door.
Tamaraga cast his eyes down without saying a word, and turned the prayer beads with his fingers.
Bi Suo took a sentence: “Wang…Princess Wen Zhao sent her soldiers back and forth between the holy city and the river valley during this period to pass news to Ge Lu and the others. She has been guarding Haidu Aling.”
The movement of Tamaraga’s hand stopped.
“Why didn’t anyone report it?”
He asked softly.
Bi Suo whispered: “The princess showed her as my assistant Bayan. General Ge Lu and the others didn’t know that she was Princess Wen Zhao. The prime minister thought she was just a document in my house.”
On the way back from Shacheng to the Holy City, Li Yaoying never revealed her identity, only Bamir and Prajna knew that she had returned to the city.
Bamier thought that Tamaragarh knew about this, so he didn’t expect to write a report.
A ray of morning light enters the Zen room, cuts through the book, and falls on the robes of Tamaraga, with a faint golden light.
He was silent for a long time and asked Bamir: “When did Princess Wen Zhao come back?”
Bamier thought for a while, and said: “It’s been almost a month…Before Haidu Aling launched the surprise attack, the princess came back.”
Tamaraga stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the courtyard.
In other words, Yaoying immediately hurried back to the holy city without stopping after the army left.
At that time, no one knew how many men and horses Haidu Aling would bring.
She was so afraid of Haidu A Ling, knowing that he would launch a surprise attack, she came without hesitation.
Why did she come back?
…
After half an hour, the courtyard.
The heavy and vast bells rang through the temple, the morning light poured out, and the golden light on the spire of the stupa shuddered.
Yaoying, who was writing at the desk, raised her head when she heard the bell.
The little novice monk in the yard said with an open eyebrow, “Princess, our Buddha is out!”
Yaoying put down the pen, walked to the door, and looked in the direction of the grotto.
In the bright morning light, the towering grotto was plated with a golden halo, which looked solemn and holy.
A rush of footsteps approached, and Bamier found him: “Princess, the king invites you to the meditation room.”
Yaoying cleaned up, and went to the meditation room with Bamir.
Entering the archway, a tall figure in the depths of the promenade walked towards several people, and the saber at the waist reflected a ray of light. A leopard covered in ancient money patterns followed him, and his paws fell on the lotus-patterned brick ground, light and silent.
Bamir stopped and saluted the man, “The Regent.”
The man yelled, his eyes swept over Yaoying, his back to the daylight, his blue eyes looked slightly darker than usual.
Yaoying looked at him, did not step forward, “The general is better today?”
The ancient Sudan nodded slightly.
The leopard beside him raised his head, the yellow leopard’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly jumped forward, raising his paw to hook Yaoying’s skirt corner.
“Ari.”
The man gave a clear drink.
Leopard retracted its paw, shrugged, jumped onto the railing, and ran away with its tail drooping.
The man saluted Yaoying and walked away.
Yaoying watched him go away, and asked Bamir: “General Su is going out of the city?”
Bamir said: “The king has left the barrier. The regent is ordered to go to Iraq to pursue the Wakhan Khan and the remnants of Beirong. He will set off today.”
Yaoying frowned slightly, and looked back while continuing to walk towards the Zen room.
At the door, Prajna greeted him with a grin, and whispered: “Princess, the king is out of the gate, the princess has done a few days ago, and the king will reward the princess.”
Yaoying didn’t speak, her gaze crossed his shoulders and looked towards the Zen room.
The hall was full of fragrance, empty and clear, and a man sat cross-legged in front of the book table to read the notes. He was dressed in a large snow-white gold-patterned robes, with an upright posture, majestic momentum, and cold eyebrows.
She stepped forward.
“Mage.”
Tamara Kah hum, motioned her to take a seat.
Yaoying glanced around, and there was Zhang short case beside the long case, which was the book case she had used when she stayed in the Zen room before.
She walked over and sat down, looking up at Tamaraga.
He has sparse eyebrows, a tall nose, and a clear outline. His eyebrows are quiet, seemingly not stained with the world, and his face is a bit like a Buddha.
Tamara Gha lifted his eyes, collided with Yaoying’s thoughtful sight, and said: “Haidu Aling has gone to Gaochang, Yuanjue has already moved south, he will warn Gaochang.”
Yaoying recovered her senses and said, “Thank you Master.”
Haidu Aling fled south, she was not surprised at all. The Wangting city is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In order to preserve his strength, he will not attack the city forcibly, but will only cause riots by sneak attacks. When he heard that Wakhan Khan was defeated, he would not hesitate to withdraw his troops and flee south. For him now, it is obviously more important to take advantage of the opportunity to gather the remnants and expand his power than to relieve Wakhan Khan.
Tamara Gha bowed his head and opened a book of notes.
“I heard from Bamir that the princess helped the prime minister to maintain order in the city and arrested a few Bei Rong fine works.”
Yaoying smiled and said: “I just arrested a few people. The interrogation, verification, and maintenance of order are all handled by Daxiang and Bamir.”
She was worried that the poisonous tricks of Haidu Aling were dedicated to staring at suspicious people in the city, so she reacted a little faster than Daxiang and Bamir.
Tamara Gajah wrote with a pen, “Why did the princess return to the holy city?”
The tone was steady, as if just asking casually.
Yaoying’s expression was calm, and she downplayed: “General Ashina asked me to join the army because I understand Haidu Aling. Haidu Aling is going to attack the holy city. Of course, I can’t avoid…The mage is so kind to me, I I also want to do my part for the mage.”
She paused, looking at the pen in Tamaraga’s hand, “I’m back for the mage.”
The tip of the pen on the paper did not stand still at all, and the writing movements were elegant and smooth.
Tamaraga looked at the unfolded silk cloth and wrote calmly, without any waves on his face.
