883 Chapter 883 That battle was for your mother
Back then, Xichuan made a wedding dress for the imperial court?
Now, are we repeating the mistakes of my parents back then?
I was shocked and couldn't believe my ears: "What did you say?! My dad and my mother?"
Hu Muhan was a little surprised to see me astonished, but he looked me up and down a few times, and seemed to have figured out something, and smiled and said, "It seems that you shouldn't have been born at that time.??? "
“…”
Before I was born?
Speaking of which, if Xichuan and the Dongchaga tribe had really fought, I would not have known such a big thing, but it could only be before I was born. But even before I was born, this was a big thing and should not be without a trace. I have never heard anyone mention it.
But this is not what surprised me the most, what surprised me the most is-
"My father... and my mother, did you fight with you?"
"That's right. At that time, I was just starting to take a knife," said his eyes, as if he had nostalgia for the past, and a little warmth was revealed: "But I didn't expect that I would meet them in the first battle. In the words of you Celestial people, it was really a disaster for me."
I still couldn't believe it: "My dad...and my mother?"
"Yes! At that time, it was also Nian Baoyuze that your father's men suddenly came out... At that time, it was a divine weapon that came from the sky."
“…”
"At that time, we never expected that on the way eastward, there would be people from Xichuan coming out to block the way."
“…”
"That battle, haha, we caught us off guard."
I thought that a very arrogant person like Humuhan must have gritted his teeth for those who defeated him, but when he talked about the sudden surprise at the beginning, he didn't seem to be angry, and he repeatedly said "that time" - it seemed that there was still a trace of nostalgia for the past.
Miss the days of being defeated?
But I quickly realized that, if that battle was really before I was born, then he was just a young boy. He said that at the beginning, he would definitely not be his commander and commander. If he lost, it would not affect his face.
But, I was still extremely confused.
"What do you think you went east to make?"
"What else can I do!"
"You are trying to attack the Central Plains, not attack Xichuan, right?"
"snort."
"But my father sent troops to block you?"
“…”
"He, why did he do this?"
Hu Muhan's face was covered by his beard, and he looked at me with a funny look: "Ask me?"
“…”
This time, I was speechless.
That battle was fought by my father, and of course I couldn't ask anyone else. But it was the reason that this matter was hidden from beginning to end. I have been in Xichuan for so many years and have been happy with my father for so many years, but I have never heard anyone mention a word.
This is even more strange than their battle.
"But--" Hu Muhan suddenly seemed to remember something again, looked at me, and then said, "That battle caught us off guard. It was indeed because we never thought that the people in Xichuan would send troops. We don't understand why your father fought until now, but I think that battle--"
"how?"
"That battle seemed to be a fight for your mother."
"What?!" I was stunned: "My mother?"
"That's right. This is the first time I've seen a woman on the battlefield."
I was surprised and happy: "Have you seen my mother?"
"Well, I've seen her."
"Then she-"
I almost burst out and wanted to ask my mother what she looked like, but with a flash of thought, I felt that I shouldn't ask this. After all, it was my mother who raised me from childhood to adulthood; countless lonely nights, I held me in my arms and gave me warmth; in the most difficult years, I used her tenderness and kindness to cut off the seeds of hatred in my heart. I am the only daughter in the world who is connected with her blood. I should be the one who knows her and understands her better than anyone else.
But, I really wanted to ask what I said just now.
Because, since Uncle Ai handed me the key, I felt more and more that I didn't seem to know my mother completely, and everything about her in my memory gradually became blurred, and even made me unable to tell what is true and what is false.
There are too many mysteries on her.
Her wealth that was as rich as a country, the whereabouts of that huge amount of silver; what could she take out from the Tiejia Money House by the key she left me; and that painting - the red shadow on the painting...
And, her death!
My mother suddenly became unfamiliar.
I didn't understand what she thought, what she wanted to do, what she cared about, and what she cared about.
It turns out that I have never seen clearly that this woman who gave birth to me, gave me life, and taught me what kind of person she is.
Hu Muhan was not angry when he felt my strange silence. After watching for a while, he slowly said, "Your mother is following your father, wearing a big black turban. I still remember that the wind was very strong and she was very thin, as if the wind could blow away. The turban wrapped most of her, and only her eyes were exposed."
“…”
"Her eyes are so beautiful."
Looking back on the dazzling pair of eyes in my memory, like the stars in the sky, my heart couldn't help but feel warm.
Hu Muhan seemed to have a smile in his fierce eyes. He looked at me and said, "At that time, we didn't know that she was a woman. We only saw that she was so mysterious and thought she was a military advisor. So the leader ordered me to shoot her arrows."
My heart tightened: "Then-"
Humuhan laughed and reached out to pat my shoulder: "Don't worry!"
His hands were very heavy, probably without attention. I was slapped by his bear-paw-like palm, and everyone tilted, but they immediately woke up.
Of course my mother is fine, otherwise - where did I come from!
"I was young at the beginning, and my archery skills were not good, otherwise - I wouldn't have you anymore!"
When talking about his mistake, he seemed to be more happy than regretful, and even made a joke on himself. At this time, I didn’t know whether I should laugh or something.
Fortunately, Hu Muhan was not careful and continued, "I shot an arrow at your mother. It was originally the one who should have hit your mother's face. However, at that time, my arms were not strong enough, and your mother was too far away. When the arrow shot, the force was weak. Your mother was pulled over by your father, and the arrow hit her temples and hit her headscarf, only knocking her down."
Although I knew that my mother must be safe and sound, when I thought of the scene at that time, I couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.
But Humuhan stopped.
He did not continue to say it, but looked at me quietly, but his eyes seemed not to be looking at me, but through my eyes, looking at the eyes that had a deep memory of him many years ago on the other side of the war.
It took him a long time to speak slowly.
"Your mother, she-" He paused for a moment, as if he wanted to find a suitable word to describe it, but he thought for a long time but couldn't think of it. After a while, he looked at me again and said with a complicated expression: "She is a very special woman."
“…”
"It's unforgettable at first sight."
I frowned.
Only on the battlefield, in a hurry, my mother never even mentioned that war in the years that followed, and mentioned the people in that war. Since it was just a hurry, what is there to be unforgettable?
Or -
I also wanted to ask him, but at this moment, Zhan Zhen next to him coughed twice. Humuhan seemed to have woken up by him. He glanced at him and immediately realized that he had said too much just now and shut up.
But I was still a little confused in my heart. I thought about it and asked, "General, when was the battle you mentioned?"
This question is not too much. Hu Muhan thought about it and replied: "It's the year of Bingshen."
In the year of Bingshen? I calculated silently. It should be the fourth year after meeting my mother.
That is, the year they got married.
My thoughts couldn't help but float a little far away. When I was in a daze, Zhan Zhen's cold cough sounded next to me. He said lukewarmly: "General, we still have some things to do. What do you mean? Let's talk about it when things are done."
I also suddenly came to my senses. I was really trapped by the past that Hu Muhan said, and I almost forgot that what we have to face now is a situation that is ten times more difficult than before!
Pei Yuanxiu has been standing beside me. He didn't speak when I talked to Humuhan, but just looked at me with all his thoughts. At this time, Humuhan also laughed twice: "Hahahaha, it seems that I am old and always like to mention the past. However, we should talk about the things in front of us."
His pair of tiger eyes faded away from the smile before, and he looked at us with a burning smile: "What do you think about our proposal?"
I frowned.
I just now couldn't say that I had a good conversation, but when he talked about the past, it was also a warm memory for me, but memories are memories, and reality is reality. No matter how warm the memories are, they cannot erase the current contradiction between the blade and the sword.
How could I agree? The Dongchaga tribe has such ambitions. If they really get into the Central Plains, the consequences will be unimaginable!
But now, if we don’t agree, what other way can we go?
Just when I was in great conflict, Pei Yuanxiu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"If we really let Shu soldiers have peace, will you really keep your promise?"
This sentence shocked me suddenly.
"Yuan Xiu?!"
I looked at him in horror, but he did not look at me, but looked at Humuhan and Zhanzhen with bright eyes: "If the Shu soldiers really make peace, but you take advantage of the situation to attack-"
"Hahahaha--" Hu Muhan laughed loudly, and walked to Pei Yuanxiu while laughing, and waved his hand, "You might as well go and see now. Our 200,000 army surrounded the Shu army. If you really want to fight, do you think they have the power to fight back? If you really want to fight, we don't have to spend this verbal talk to you. You are the lord of Jiangnan, you are the eldest lady of the Yan family. With you in your hands, what are we afraid of?"
Zhan Zhen stood beside him without saying anything, his eyes were looking at him calmly with a fox-like cunning look.
Pei Yuanxiu also closed his lips, looked at Hu Muhan, and then looked at Zhan Zhen.
There was a moment of silence in the big tent.
And the silence at this moment was like a heavy moment, which made me breathless. I almost subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab his sleeve, but before I could touch him, I heard him say decisively: "Okay!"
Humuhan and Zhanzhen immediately showed a look of surprise in their eyes, and Humuhan said, "Did you agree?"
"However," Pei Yuanxiu looked back at me again, looking at my face as scaryly pale, his eyes stagnated, but he didn't say anything to me, but turned his head and said to both of them: "After all, I can't decide on the matter of Nishikawa. I also need to discuss this with my uncle."
Humuhan and the others looked at each other, and Zhan Zhen said calmly: "This is nature."
After saying that, he waved his hand: "Come here. Take two distinguished guests to the tent over there for a good rest, don't disturb me."
Pei Yuanxiu bowed to them: "Thank you."
He held my hand and said nothing more, then walked out of the big tent. I just looked back and saw Zhan Zhen's amber eyes standing at the door of the big tent reflected the sunlight, and a strange light flashed out.
|
I was led forward by Pei Yuanxiu all the way, and was led by the servant to a tent on the other side. It seemed that this place was not close to the resting place between Liu Qinghan and Li'er. It seemed that I planned to discuss it separately without being affected by anyone.
As soon as he walked in, the servant left with tactfully.
When the tent falls, the sun is isolated.
Pei Yuanxiu stopped in the middle of the tent and turned around to face me, but he still did not let go of my hand. Even at this time, the palms connected to us were covered in cold sweat. I don’t know if it was mine or his.
He looked into my eyes and said slowly: "Qingying."
I looked at him with wide eyes.
The hand, in his palm, almost turned into ice.
After calling my name, he didn't say anything anymore. He just felt my ten fingers freeze and cold. His hands gently kneaded my fingertips. My palms were as gentle as the breeze blew on my face. I looked at him and lowered my head. The handsome face was as calm as jade, without a trace of ripples. Only long eyelashes covered my eyes, making me unable to see his eyes clearly at this moment.
I stood still and let him slowly rub my stiff fingers like this.
I don’t know how long it took, but I finally felt a little conscious at my fingertips, and I was gently held in the palm of my hand. After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at me. His expression was calm and his eyes were calm, but I clearly felt that there were many things hidden under the calm.
He slowly lowered his head, his forehead almost touching my forehead, and his nose also touched the tip of his nose. He even felt the heat he exhaled spray on his face, causing my lips to tremble slightly.
His low voice, accompanied by a hot breath, rang in his ears-
"Do you have something to say to me?"
“…”
"Um?"
I looked at those eyes that were close to me, and when I opened my mouth, my voice was almost hoarse-
"I--"
“…”
"I trust you!"
“…”
"Yuan Xiu, you won't lie to me, right?"
“…”
