Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight - Chapter 147
After applying the medicine, Yaoying lowered her head and put down her sleeves. In the corner of her light, she could feel Tamara Gia staring at her.
In the swaying candlelight, the gaze falling on her was as cold as ice and snow, as clear as the starry sky at night in the desert, too deep and vast, and the vicissitudes of ancient times, there is no such thing as sadness and joy.
Born, old, sick, greedy, anger, and delusion, he had already seen clearly, without desire and desire.
Therefore, in front of him, Yaoying has almost no avoidance, let alone precautions or scheming, her emotions are all natural.
She looked up at him.
He looked away blankly, his movements were natural, and he didn’t seem to have any intention of avoiding it.
Yaoying lowered her eyes, pressed her mind, got up and took the silk brocade medicine package on the case, “Mage, should I change the dressing on my leg?”
Tamaragarh shook his head: “Don’t bother the princess, I will ask someone to come in.”
Yaoying said softly: “Let me come, I have taken care of the mage before and know what to do.”
She washed her hands, lifted the thin blanket on his legs, rolled up the gauze trousers, and untied the tied medicine bag. First, she took the hot kerchief and gently pressed a few times on the tied scars to prevent the blood from failing. Cause blood stasis, and then attach a new medicine pack.
During the whole process, she lowered her head and moved cautiously. A few strands of hair slipped from her sideburns, brushing the tip of her nose and the corners of her lips from time to time, and it was a little itchy. After a while, she pulled away the mischievous strands with the back of her hand.
Tamara Gya looked at Yaoying, and suddenly wanted to lift the strands of hair away for her, moved her fingers, and when she touched the Buddha beads, her fingertips felt cold.
He doesn’t move.
Yaoying changed the medicine for him, covered a thin blanket, and looked at him a few times, “Does the mage want to lie down?”
Tamaraga held the prayer beads and shook his head: “No…”
Yaoying uttered a cry, and suddenly leaned over and pressed it down.
It was just a momentary movement, but in Tamaraka’s eyes, it was extremely slow and long. She slowly approached him, her delicate face close at hand, and her curled eyelashes trembling like an ink brush, wispy. There is a fragrance of seemingly nothing diffused.
She put one hand on his side, stretched one hand inward, drew out the soft pillow in the corner, patted it, tucked it next to him, and let him sit down.
“Mage, is this more comfortable?”
After Yaoying was busy with her work, she stood up, raised her hand and brushed her sideburns, and asked.
Tan Moroga’s eyes drooped slightly and nodded.
“Trouble the princess, it’s late at night, I’m fine, the princess settled earlier.”
Yaoying smiled and turned to leave.
The sound of footsteps went away.
A deserted room.
Tamaraga looked at her stiff legs and turned the prayer beads with her fingers.
A shadow cage came over.
He raised his eyes and looked over. Yaoying, who was supposed to leave, didn’t know when he came back. She held Zhang Xiaohu’s stool in her hand, put it on the side of the couch, and sat down, resting her cheeks in her hands, looking at him.
“Does the mage feel sleepy now?”
He looked as usual and shook his head.
Yaoying said: “It’s just right, I’m not sleepy. The master lives in the Wang Temple. I am afraid it will be difficult to see the master in the future. Today, when I came out of the main hall, I wanted to see the master, but I was afraid to disturb the master, so I could only write a letter… “
Her conversation changed abruptly, “General Ashina just told me that the mage has been depressed recently. I don’t know why the mage is upset? If there is something I can help, the mage can just say it clearly and don’t have to be polite with me.”
Tamara Gaja said indifferently: “It’s nothing more, the princess doesn’t need to care.”
Yaoying looked at him, was silent for a while, and asked, “Is it because of the recent conflict between the royal court army and the people of Beirong?”
Tamara Gha knew that the royal court had internal and external troubles. He must first use thunder to deter the family, weaken Beirong, and then gradually resolve internal abuses to clear obstacles for the next generation of kings, instead of directly annexing Beirong. That would only destroy the king. The court was dragged into the quagmire, but Bei Rong is now torn apart. The royal court, from the wealthy family to the common people, are immersed in the enthusiasm of the defeat of the Wakhan Khan, thinking that the territory of the North Rong has become the royal court’s dish for lunch. Others get involved.
They clamored to send troops directly to take over all the tribes of Beirong and make Beirong people slaves. During this period of time, the Royal Court’s army repeatedly clashed with the local tribes while pursuing the remnants of Beirong.
In the eyes of Wang Ting people, they just used Bei Rong’s original methods to deal with Bei Rong people, and it was justified by their own way to rule their bodies.
Little did they know that this would only cause the Bei Rong people to resist more fiercely, and there were many tribes attached to the Bei Rong who did not participate in the war. They are watching the battle and preparing to surrender. Now the royal army retaliates against the Bei Rong people. They have attacked the royal court. Worried, lest the royal family enslaved them like the Beirong nobles, and simply helped the remnants of Beirong resist the royal army.
Tamaragarh’s lenient to the Beirong tribes was regarded by his subjects as the benevolence of women, and they could not understand why he forgiven the Beirong people.
Yaoying slowly read the article she had recited: “The ancients were based on benevolence, and righteousness is the rule. Right is right if you don’t get the intention. Right comes from war, not from the middleman. It’s why killing people is safe. You can kill people, you can attack their country, love their people, you can attack them, you can stop the war by fighting, even if you fight, you can do it… The Master has done nothing wrong.”
The book is simple, but how complicated it is to govern the country. Every decree and every move will affect the destiny of thousands of people.
The decision made by Tamaragarh after balancing the interests of all parties and weighing the pros and cons may not necessarily be supported by everyone. His purpose is to stop the war. However, people’s desires are endless. Now the royal family of the royal court is ready to move and public opinion. Boiling, he issued several government decrees in just a few days, but he still couldn’t contain the ambitions of the royal family.
Tamara Gya was slightly startled, his gaze settled on Yaoying’s face, and she looked at her for a long time, her face was touched, and her eyes seemed to flash with lightning, which was astonishingly bright.
“Thank you princess for her comfort and comfort.”
Yaoying knows that he has a firm conviction and will not be disturbed by the world, but seeing him exhausted and still not understood by others, it still feels painful for him.
She thought for a while and asked: “Mage, do you believe that there will be a pure land in this world, without war, no high and low ranks? No matter where people are, can people get along in harmony?”
Tamara Gaya nodded.
Yaoying laughed. He is a cultivator, so he will naturally believe this. Isn’t the legendary Western Paradise of Bliss just a piece of paradise? It is said in the scriptures that all beings in the country have no suffering, but are subject to all happiness.
“Mage, I once had a dream and lived in a country.” She said sincerely and slowly, “The country in my dream is not like the sands of Elysium, and it is full of joys, but the people have no distinction between high and low. Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. Although there are still wars and various injustices in the world, more people insist on justice and fight with their own hands. The people of all tribes get along like friends…will not kill each other at every turn…”
She had never mentioned these words to other people, but at this moment, facing Tamaragarh, she said them all.
Tamara Gha looked at Yaoying who was talking about her, her blue eyes were as bright as stars against the dim candlelight.
After Yaoying finished speaking, she smiled: “Does the mage believe me?”
Tamaraga stared at her without blinking, “I believe it.”
The mountains and the sea were separated by thousands of miles, and when he was dying, she came to him…even if she said she was the goddess sent by the Buddha to test him, he believed.
His eyes were too deep, and Yaoying’s heart couldn’t help but jump slightly.
“Master, the world in my dream is a thousand years later.”
Tamaraga held the beads in his hand: “The Buddha can save sentient beings for tens of thousands of years, but a thousand years is just a short time away.”
Such a world is bound to come, although he can’t see it, and it won’t frustrate his will.
Yaoying sighed in her heart, and then became more and more confused.
Judging from the conversation just now, Tamara Gha is not depressed because of the incomprehension of his subjects.
It has nothing to do with national affairs… Then what else in this world can make him feel unhappy as a Buddha?
Why did Bi Suo ask her to persuade Tan Moroga?
A guess arose in her heart, but this guess was so amazing that she couldn’t even think of it.
“Mage.” Yaoying lifted a corner of the thin blanket, and while checking the medicine bag on Tamaraga’s leg, she said casually, “I am reunited with Brother, and I will no longer be a modern woman… The mage has been here for more than a year. I take care of me in my heart.”
The light in Tamaraga’s eyes flickered twice, dimmed, and looked down, “The princess also takes good care of me.”
Yaoying’s lips curled up, “Mage, there are so many things in these days. I haven’t told you about my future plans. Now the situation in various places is chaotic, and the Lord Yuchi can’t be busy. I will go there in a few days. Gaochang…”
She lifted her eyes and took a quiet look at Tan Moroga’s face.
Tamaraga looked calm: “I let Bi Suo **** the princess to Gaochang.”
Yaoying smiled and shook her head: “General Ashina is a guard of the mage, don’t bother him, someone will come to meet me.”
The room was quiet, only the sound of candlelight burning quietly.
Yaoying covered her lips and yawned.
Tamara Gha immediately said: “I’m much better, the princess will settle it.”
Yaoying’s tears flickered, her sleepiness was dim, she stretched her waist, stood up, walked aside with a thin blanket, spread the blanket, and lay down on the spot: “Bi Suo will send me out of the temple tomorrow morning… I will sleep here, Master If you want something or feel uncomfortable, you must wake me up.”
Tamara Gha opened her mouth, looked at her back, and finally just hummed softly.
Yaoying closed her eyes and fell asleep, thinking of Tamaraga in her dream, and awakened suddenly, looking back at the couch, he was still sitting, his eyes closed, and his fingers turned the Buddha beads, as if meditation.
She breathed a sigh of relief and went to sleep.
After a while, the candlelight went out, and the room sank into darkness.
A dark shadow moved down from the couch, walking very lightly, and stopped for a while behind Yaoying, who was sleeping on her side, before moving on, the dark shadow caged her whole.
Yaoying smelled the pungent smell of the medicine packet, and she seemed to feel it, her eyes quietly opened.
Shadow stood behind her for a long time.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound of his robe, and he raised his hand, and his palm passed over her shoulder and stretched out towards her skirt.
Yaoying didn’t dare to move, her heart was pounding.
That hand reached over her skirt, pulled up the slipping thin blanket, covered her exposed shoulder, and pressed lightly with her fingers.
Yaoying’s heart loosened.
Just when she thought that the shadow was going to leave, the hand covering her suddenly went up and stopped next to her cheek, motionless.
Yaoying was sweating slightly.
After a long time, that hand did not caress her hair sideburn after all, and slowly retracted it.
Yaoying held her breath, waited for a long time, turned over, faced the couch, and opened her eyes.
Tamara Gha has been lying down silently.
In the air, the fragrance of medicine was floating.
…
When Tamaraga woke up the next morning, the figure beside the couch was gone.
The couch is neatly stacked along the thin blankets, and there is no trace of being used.
It seemed that everything that happened last night was just his dream.
Tamara Gha sat up, touched the veil next to the pillow, a handful of thorny honey glowing with amber luster came out, and a little bit of it was spilled outside.
He wrapped the veil.
Footsteps sounded from far to near, and Bi Suo entered the house with a medicine bowl.
Tamara Gha asked: “Where is Princess Wen Zhao?”
Bi Suo said: “I sent Princess Wen Zhao out just now. It’s dawn. Someone will come over. It is inconvenient for the princess to stay.”
“Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“The princess said that the king is overworked these days and should take a good rest, and she asks me not to wake you up.”
Tamaragarh did not speak, and put the folded veil on his pillow.
…
Yaoying left the Wang Temple and returned to the silk shop where she lived.
Li Zhongqian sat in the lobby with a golden sword, his face gloomy: “Where did you go last night? Why didn’t you return all night?”
Last night, the soldiers told him that Yaoying had left with General Ashina, and left a message to him so that he didn’t have to worry. He has been waiting until now.
Yaoying was very worried, pulled him upstairs, and whispered: “Brother, I was at Wangsi last night.”
Li Zhongqian frowned and glanced at her clothes: “What are you doing in Wangsi?”
Yaoying glanced around and lowered her voice: “I will only tell Brother about this. Brother, please don’t disclose it. I’m going to see the Buddha.”
Li Zhongqian’s face became more ugly.
“Why can’t you see him during the day?”
“There are so many people, you won’t be spotted at night.”
Li Zhongqian stared at Yaoying for a while: “You are not safe by yourself, brother will accompany you later.”
Yaoying said, absent-minded.
“Brother, I didn’t sleep well last night, so let’s go to sleep for a while.”
Li Zhongqian sent Yaoying back to her room, watched her fall asleep, went downstairs, and called two soldiers: “Send a letter to that General Ashina, I want to see the Buddha.”
After finishing the order, he said, “Don’t tell Qiniang in advance.”
The pro soldier should be.
The letter was quickly delivered to Bi Suo. When he read the letter, his eyes widened and he was dumbfounded. He couldn’t make up his mind and asked Tamaraga for advice.
“Wang, Princess Wen Zhao’s brother said that he wants to see you… He wants to talk to you about Princess Wen Zhao.”
Tamara Gha raised his eyes and nodded.
Half an hour later, Li Zhongqian, with a scarf on his head, a brocade robe and a long sword on his waist, was led by Bi Suo to a side hall of the Wang Temple.
The scorching sun hangs high, and the felt curtain in front of the temple is hanging high. When you walk into the inner temple, you feel a sense of coolness.
Tamara Gha sat in front of the book table and waited for him, wearing a snow-white gold-patterned strapless robes, with a clear outline of his facial features and a graceful manner.
Li Zhongqian had seen a lot of civilized and martial arts, and extraordinary dignity. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart that Tamaraga was outstanding, but when he remembered the eyes of Tamaraga staring at Yaoying in the main hall yesterday, his good feelings suddenly disappeared. Save, only vigilance and defense are left.
He knew why he suddenly thought of Li Xuanzhen. When Li Xuanzhen looked at Yaoying, there was hatred, hatred, and something depressing in his eyes. Later, when the two were trapped in Bei Rong, Li Xuanzhen heard Tali mention Yaoying’s experience. Those hatred and hatred had long since vanished, replaced by painful desires and deeper depression.
When Tamara Gya looked at Yaoying, she was also depressed, her eyes were extremely restrained, her expression was calm and indifferent, so that she looked nothing strange.
Why should he restrain?
Li Zhongqian could only think of one possibility-because the Buddha knew that he had thoughts that he shouldn’t have.
He originally wanted to take Yaoying away directly, but her absence last night made him realize that he must come to see the Buddha.
When Li Zhongqian sat down, Tamaraga’s eyes signaled the guards to withdraw.
When there were only two people left in the hall, Li Zhongqian got to the point: “I don’t know about one thing, please ask the mage to clarify for me. If there is any offense, please forgive me.”
Tamara Gaya said: “It’s okay to ask the Lord Weiguo.”
Li Zhongqian looked into his eyes, and asked word by word: “The master has moved the relationship between men and women with the sister-in-law…?”
A gust of wind blew into the inner hall, and the bead curtain gently shook, reflecting the precious light of the debut.
Tamara Gya met the sight of Li Zhongqian’s scrutiny, with a calm expression, and nodded.
“Yes.”
Seven emotions and six desires are normal.
His greed for Li Yaoying is more than just her company. He wants her to stay by his side forever. In the center of his eyes, he is the only one who wants to get close to her, touch her, and make her laugh.
Li Zhongqian’s pupils shrank.
