Nirvana In Fire

Chapter 35: Past Injuries

Summer and winter's gaze lingered on Mae Chang Su's faint face before slowly returning to her drooping feathers. Before coming to the Ning Guohou Mansion today, she had imagined what Su Zhe was like, but only after she had really met him did she realize that he was much deeper than the legend and imagination.

“Since Mr. Su has so much leisure time, Summer and Winter are listening. ”

Mae Changsu nodded slightly at her, crossed her face, removed her gaze from the face of his only audience, and threw her into the dark and dull sky without slowing down: “Speaking of a certain dynasty in a country, there is a clan king, holding male soldiers stationed at the border, always deeply spoiled, ready for trust. One year the king brought his daughter to the capital, and the county chief was left in the palace to meet the children of many royal clans. One of them is the only son of the High Marshal, two years old, the most lively and naughty, proud, and the two often have fun together. When the queen saw them, she made an order for them. Although the clan and the marshal's offices are not very close, after all, there are no objections from either family. Only a year after his betrothal, the Grand Marshal was involved in a counterfeit, and his father and son died. Though the King was far from involved in the case, it was inevitable that she was involved because of her marriage here. The emperor had doubts about him. The soldiers and food were not as responsive as before. After two years of wear and tear, the strength of the war was naturally affected. At this time, the neighbouring countries suddenly raised the border of the strong soldiers, causing the first and second battles to fail, leaving the orphan daughter weak, the unsung soldiers, all mournful. At that time, the reinforcements had not arrived, and the situation was critical. The 17-year-old county lord was heavily filial, leading the army for his father, and she was able to stabilize the city's defense after a bloody battle. Master Xia, do you think this little county master is a strange woman of our time? ”

Summer and winter eyes are dark and silent. He seemed to see the young girl in a vegetarian armor and perseverance who he had seen on the walls of the city as he went south with reinforcements. Even though she was 10 years old, even though she had spent many years in suspense, after that difficult period of communion, there was only respect for her feelings for this infirm woman. Had it not been for the anguish of the heart's knife-cutting blood, the suspension mirror would have made the friendship between Summer Winter and the two Anglophone women of the Lord of Nephew County no less despicable than the righteous men who lived and died together.

Mae Changsu glanced at her expression only slightly and went on to say: "Although the crisis is understood, the situation is still unstable. The county lord stood up for battle, the clan iron rider, all bowed down. The court could not find a more suitable candidate than her, allowing her to temporarily lead the clan's military junta. After that, it was a long decade. How many times did the soldier endanger her to support herself? The crowd only saw the power of Hercules, who could taste the hardship and stress in her heart. Even many do not know that just two years ago, she faced a situation that was almost irreparable. ”

When I heard about it, Summer and Winter didn't freak out: “Have you never heard of this? ”

Mae Chang Su showed her a little relief with her eyes, still maintaining the original speed of speech: “Under the county master, good field, good offense and defense, is indeed a powerful master, but there is one weakness, which is water warfare. ”

Summer and winter are more familiar with the Yunnan Cavalry. They nodded independently and obviously very much agreed.

“The crisis was the result of an extremely harsh water attack by a high figure from a neighbouring country. First, by the raid, he took the river crossing forcefully. He took the giant ship as his battalion, the small ship as his blade, the river as his way, and as soon as he supplied it, he actually transported it all from the water. The Ho Ho Navy went straight to the heart of the river. Though the march was dangerous, it worked wonders. If the county chief attacks the ferry, the enemy water army will disembark in vain. If he attacks the enemy army on the water, he will attack the leader of the enemy with his own shorthand. At that time, many generals will have no way to break the enemy. As commander-in-chief of the army, the county chief's anxiety at the time, as you can imagine.” Speaking of which, he coughed a few times and stopped for tea.

“What happened?” Summer and winter were hearing God, and seeing him pause, he couldn't help but ask.

“At a difficult juncture, a young man came from the battalion, recommended himself as the best at water warfare, and asked to be admitted to the battalion for service. The county lord is a wise man, hired in a broken box. Surely he was a marines genius without bragging a word. After half a month of plotting, he went into battle and broke the enemy. After the war, the county chief wanted to reward him for his first work, but for some reason, he insisted that the county chief not report his name. ”

“Oh?” Summer and winter flashed, "He didn't want any credit for the bloody battle, which is strange. ”

“Perhaps this man has no heart.” Mae Chang Su replied faintly, "The young man stayed in the county main camp for the rest of the year to rebuild her rehearsal of the Navy to make up for the previous leak. This person is refreshing, full-fledged, and extremely amusing. The two people are of equal age and have been together for a long time. Naturally, they have a good feeling about each other. However, the timing is often inappropriate, they have not always told each other, which is a bit unfortunate. ”

When Summer Winter heard about this place, she thought about it and couldn't help but be furious. Now that there is a preference, this time the county chief openly chooses a son-in-law, it is considered a great opportunity for the person to earn the desire, and obviously the person has not appeared, only afraid of the ambition. She's always been a grumpy person, not to mention the county chief. Can she not be angry? He immediately revived his clothes and asked, "Who is this man? Where is it now? ”

Mae Changsu did not directly answer her question. Halfway down, he still did not tell his story very slowly, but the tone gradually dropped: “A day after six months, the young man suddenly said goodbye, leaving only a brief letter to the county chief, which said 'Call within the alliance, order him to return'. The county lord was annoyed that he had gone so resolutely that he tore up the letters, making it impossible to chase them. But her brother was unhappy, sent a master to chase him all the way, who knew the man's whereabouts into Tuzhou, like a mud cow into the sea, disappeared clean, and there was no trace. ”

Summer and winter are such astute people, immediately grabbed the point: “Tuzhou is already in the Jiangzuo area, the whole fourteen states, when is there a second gang besides Jiangzuo alliance? ”

Mae Changsu neither admitted nor denied it. He continued: "A year has passed since then, and no news of the young man has been found in the clan. The county chief was silent, but everyone in the palace found him cold and incomprehensible. At this time, when the county master's youngest brother was an adult, he entered the capital, and the court intended to publicly choose a son-in-law for the county master, seeking her opinion beforehand. Everyone thought that because of the arrogant nature of the county lord, the General Assembly would not accept this method of public selection. I didn't think she would agree to it after only a few conditionalities were added. ”

Summer and winter touched the emotions, sad in my heart, I couldn't help but sigh and look lonely: “Women's love is always better than men's. Though she seems fine on the outside, in fact, I hope that the young man will take the opportunity to choose...”

Plum Chang Su Di's head was unanswered and his eyes were cold. The story is only halfway there, but I don't know where it's going to end up.

The deeper the cloud foot on the sky, the lower the pressure, winter to snow, late wind rush. Drop the cup in the summer and winter and stand up and walk to the pavilion to see the distance. In the midst of the clouds full of mist, her tall, slender body became more flexible and powerful, and she had no expression on her beautiful face, as if she was contemplating, as if she was only breathing and vomiting, nothing. However, the tranquillity before the storm was always brief. After just a moment, she took a deep breath, turned back, her eyes were bright and flaming, and she went straight to Mae Chang Su. The tone of her mouth was even more powerful: “You know this story, then tell me, if he is in love, why doesn't he come?! ”

“Why don't you come?” May Chang Su smiled brutally, looked like snow, slowly closed his eyes and said to himself, "You can ask me that... but I... how can I ask him that? ”

If you're in love, why don't you come? Why didn't you come?

Just because a man who had already gone to hell was still alive in the world, he had to struggle, struggle, struggle.

For that man, the love affair between a man and a woman is pure as water, but the friendship between brothers is not like golden jade. Even the most handsome, spacious and secular person in the world will inevitably have some obsession and will not be half ashamed of their friends.

Just one word of love, there has always been no escape, on the surface as usual, the laughter can not cover his inner darkness, just as at the time in Yingfeng building, the county chief looked at himself, the king of Jiangzuo Alliance, many words flowed to the lips, want to ask the pain, how can it be calm and strong mask can not hide the inner emotion.

When he was sent to help the nephew, he did not anticipate this ending, but now in the face of these two sincere hearts as clear as snow and ice, can he become an obstacle in the meantime? Lin Shuben has a lot of destiny. He has been carrying Nephew for many years just because he was a teenager and had nothing to do with love. He is dying today. He lives with his life. He has a very difficult future, and he has no more half power to engage in the affair of his children...

So today's tea treat, when summer and winter arrive, this is what we need to do.

“Lord Xia,” Mae Chang-su opened his eyes again with only peace and tenderness. He stared softly at summer and winter. His voice was calm and quiet. “Su Xiao was not very friendly with the county master. Some words were difficult to say in person. Therefore, he lent tea to the guest today and told the story to the adult. He just wanted to ask the adult to give a message to Su Xiao: Although the county master had hesitated to ask me directly, I know what her doubts were. Indeed, he was in my Jiangzuo alliance. I did not know the county master's mind before. I feared that there would be any misunderstanding in it, and I did not wish to ask him any further questions. But since I met the county mayor, I've seen things clearly. So please rest assured the county owner that his heart will never be slightly thinner than that of the county owner, but there are still some matters involved and he cannot enter the capital temporarily. If the county chief can trust Su, please give him some more time to thank you. ”

After listening to this, Summer Winter did not rush to react for a moment. Instead, she thought about it in detail. She frowned: "When a man is a big husband, love is love. If he doesn't love, he doesn't love, he doesn't love. What's so great that he can't come to Jinling? ”

Mae Changsu did not add much explanation, but simply said: “People in the river and lake, please forgive Lord Xia. ”

Summer and winter snorted, but after all, he said: "Since this is about the county mayor and you are so frank, I might as well run this trip for you. But you also told the boy that I'd see him on the day of his arrival. I didn't have a great summer and winter. ”

Mae Chang-su smiled: “It's rare for a county owner to have such a good friend as Lord Xia. ”

Hearing this, Summer and Winter's eyes suddenly turned cold, cold-blooded: “She is not my friend yet. I won't admit this friend until she marries me. ”

“Really?” Mae Chang-su seemed to care nothing about the phrase. "Because of that engagement? The county chief doesn't marry another day, she's one of the Lin family. For Lord Xia, the Lin family is your enemy, right? ”

He seemed to say it unintentionally, but listening to it in her summer and winter ears made her all stiff and her eyelashes trembled. She wasn't surprised Mae Chang-su knew about it. Because this old case was deliberately diluted by the court, but after all, it was a matter involving tens of thousands of people. With the strength of the first group of Jiangzuo Alliance, it is naturally not difficult to find out as long as it is well investigated. What really surprised her was how she felt when she heard it, the unbearable flood of emotions that suddenly appeared in her heart.

Though more than twelve years have passed, and although it is no longer possible to shed tears when dreaming back at midnight, years of cultivation have not brought about any real healing. The simple and simple word "Lin Jia” of the Qingya scholar can suddenly lift up the blood pain and bone hatred in his heart, like the white hair between Ushima, always so bright and visible, can not ignore anytime, anywhere.

Mae Changsu removed her gaze from summer and winter, seemingly reluctant to see the fragile side of her sudden appearance. Summer and winter as a suspended mirror is naturally the strong among the strong, but stripping her of her arrogant identity and strong mask, she remains one of the hundreds of millions of grieving widows left over from that tragedy.

Remember when she was first married, beautiful and vibrant, she just opened her head and walked out of the new house to protect her husband from alcohol. A pair of perfect men under the red candle of the bright moon, one is the middle general of the Red Flame Army, one is the high apostle under the suspense mirror door, the master of the hall contains laughter blessings, the Brotherhood of the Army celebrates, since then it is flowers, moon and evening, support each other. Thought happiness could last a long time, but who knew seven years of love, turned back to ashes. It was as if the ancient road had just looked at the two men as if they had cared for goodbye and had met her for twelve years as a survivor.

Fortunately, she was in summer and winter, and her duties and tenacity underpinned her resistance to that blow, and there was no light sadness in front of her brothers; unfortunately, she was in summer and winter, and in a mess everyone was relieved by her strength and negligence. Only one day, when she suddenly found her hair greyed and her eyes were as icy as ice, was she suddenly alarmed by the accumulation of anger and sorrow in her heart.

Perhaps only the owner of Nephew County realized a little bit about the summer and winter mood, and the girl who was forced to mature quickly, who was the most arrogant and powerful woman in the world, had endured so much provocation and hardship during the first summer and winter, even after the two of them had formed a deep friendship, she had silently endured her cold proclamation that "you will not marry for a day, but you will not be my friend for a day”.

But Mae Chang Su understands that if anyone in the world dares to be unfavourable to the owners of Nephew County, the first person to come forward must be Summer Winter. Whether she marries or not, whether she is nominally or not Lin's daughter-in-law, she is Summer Winter's closest friend.

Because friendships on the battlefield are the hardest to spoil in the world.

“Mr. Su,” Xia Dong suppressed his excitement after a moment of silence, coldly asking, “Why did you come to the capital? ”

Mae Chang Su Guan 'er said: “What, did the suspension mirror make you not even find this out? ”

Summer and winter snorted coldly, "I know what you're saying about Kirin Talent, and I know you're ambitious, sooner or later you have to choose the Lord. But what I don't understand is, even if you want to get involved in the battle between the prince and the king of honor, you don't have to find out so much about the past, do you? ”

Mae Chang Su cared nothing about her cold attitude and still smiled: “Every moment now is a continuation of the past. If you don't find out the past, how do you know what to do and what not to do now? Whatever causes are planted in the long past, there will be consequences. Isn't it true that suspense mirrors make it always possible to act with justice? ”

“What happened in the past naturally has its meaning, I just can't figure out what they do with you?” Summer and winter's eyes were torched and burned on Mae Chang-su's face. "Does that old case 12 years ago actually affect the dynasty of the current prince's reputation king? ”

“As long as there is an implication, there will be more or less an impact. Does Lord Fischer think they have nothing to do with what happened back then?” Mae Chang Su asked faintly.

The female suspended mirror silenced her, “Yes, I admit that they fuelled the demise of Qi Wang at the time, but if it wasn't for Qi Wang's own wolf ambition and plotting treason, if it wasn't for the Red Flame Army to help abuse and act vilely, what would be the consequence of the later sins? ”

Mae Changsu's face did not change color, but the roots of his teeth had been bitten dark, and he exhaled in the back. "I think... that's why you and His Royal Highness Yasuko have been unable to avoid each other? ”

Summer and winter glanced deeply at him and asked, "Sir, what does this mean? ”

“Lord Xia has always been convinced of the court's conclusions on the Qiwang rebellion case, while King Jing has always defended Qiwang. If His Majesty had not been merciful to the Emperor, he had verified that he was only bewildered by brotherhood and had nothing to do with the rebellion, fearing that he would have already been implicated in the crime. Nevertheless, he was still repressed by desecration, and more than a decade of field merit earned less than the seal of a prince, so that neither the prince nor the king of honor could see him. The opposite is true between the two of you. Once you meet, you don't have to mention it. If you don't, there will always be conflict. So it's good to not meet without seeing each other.” Mae Chang Su looked directly into Summer Winter's eyes. "Did Su have a good guess? ”

Summer and winter looked at him firmly, his eyes seemed to be looking at him, and he seemed to have no other intention, but ultimately he did not deny it, faintly said: “His Royal Highness the King Jing is a prince. Summer and winter can not be provoked without provocation. He had to ignore the facts, his heart was inclined to rebel, His Majesty was so lenient, what could Summer and Winter do with him? ”

Mae Changsu owed herself to renew her hot tea. “It seems Lord Xia thinks it must be King Jing's fault? ”

“Of course King Jing was wrong.” Su Winter's gaze is as strong as iron. "Since Mr. Su deliberately investigated this old matter, who investigated Kiwang's reverse case? ”

Mae Changsu's lips darkened unknowingly. Turning his head, he was still a fresh and elegant god. “Everyone knows this," he said. "The modern suspension mirror makes his first father, Master Xia Jiangxia. ”

Speaking of Xia Jiang's name, Xia Winter's eyes were neutral and respectful, and his tone was more certain than ever: “Since his departure, the Master has assisted His Majesty in countless cases under royal orders, so far nothing has gone wrong. If Mr. Su dares to question him again, Xia Winter must be regarded as disrespectful to his master. ”

“Someone dared not,” Mae Chang Su spread out his hands and smiled, “Master Xia sat in the town suspension mirror division, the iron face was just, everyone respected it. How dare you question Su? Just talking, suddenly remembering King Jing, here we are. Please don't blame Lord Xia. ”

“Mr. Su is a soldier, why is he suddenly interested in Yang Wang, who has always been far from the DPRK? ”

Mae Chang Su's eyes turned slightly. "In front of Lord Xia, the Ming doesn't speak secretly. A prince as good as King Jing, capable of leading troops and not threatening his throne, whoever can pull him under the banner will be a powerful help, right? ”

Summer and winter looked at him for a while, suddenly he laughed heavenly, laughing and tears were coming out.

“What, is it funny what some Su said? ”

“Isn't that funny?” Summer and winter gently wipe away the tears in the corner of your eyes and sit back on your right body. “Even though you are a genius of the Kirin, you have the ability to check and balance the world. Even though you have the largest group of hands in the world, there are countless eyes and ears around you. Unfortunately, you can find out the old things before, and the branches are spreading. In the end, you can't find out people's hearts. ”

“Not really, huh? King Jing was suppressed by His Majesty, and his mother-in-law had no special favor in the palace. Even if he did not want to add any more honor, he should make a decision early in the future in order to plan it. If you just sit back and wait for the dust to settle in the future, there will be no more useful days. ”

Summer and winter sneered, “It is indeed the word of the plotter, only about the pros and cons of the situation, regardless of the heart. I dare not say anything but to assert here that you will never be able to take King Jing under the banner of any of them, whether you are the prince or the king of honor who will support him in the future. ”

“Oh?” said Mae Chang Su Weiwei, “How can Lord Xia be so sure? Without knowing that the situation is changing, people's hearts and minds will naturally change. King Jing has been depressed for many years. If he has a good chance, he won't let go of it for nothing, will he? ”

Summer and winter left a slight corner of their mouth and turned around, seemingly reluctant to talk about it again. Though she did not calm Wang Xiao Jingxue, who had been stubborn for many years, at least his affection for his elder brother Qi Wang and his best friend Lin Shu was extremely sincere and deep. He had never tried to draw a line out of fear of being involved, which kept a little respect for him in his heart in summer and winter. Therefore, he had a slight aversion to Su Zhe's cold speculation and stopped talking.

But Mae Chang-su's chest was softened by her reaction. Although the purpose of what he just said was merely to mislead the suspension mirror so that she thought that all her future dealings with the King of Jing were to pull together and calculate, so that she would not pay much attention, but it was obvious that the position was in the summer and winter opposite the King of Qi and the Lin Clan. She could not bear to speak ill of what the King of Jing had done over the years, and her heart was naturally moved for a while.

Xiao Jingju's twelve years of perseverance and indulgence, no matter how much injustice and indiscretion he faced, he did not want to soften his back and voluntarily plead guilty to the father for his original position. He is a prestigious general in the army. As long as he adds, both the prince and the king of honor will be very willing to accommodate him as a feather. He is a successful adult prince with many successes in battle. As long as he leans down and confesses softly, the emperor will not be hard on his heart for many years without reward. However, all this seemed to be easy for him to do, neither did he. He was merely silent in accepting the commandment of one way, running between battlefields, occasional leisure time, most of the time only in his royal palace and two outside the city military camps, far away from the royal center, willing not to be valued in the wilderness, just to be a little lonely in his heart, hateful of peace.

However, it is also this kind of Jing Wang Jingyi, the handsome friend of the past, and the future monarch that Mae Chang Su is ready to support.

Lord Jiang Zuo's calm and deep gaze swept through the snowy sky and looked at the thin bright line in the thick clouds. In order to appease the King, to pull together all the power available, Yunnan Mu House no longer has to bother, and the next thing is the suspension mirror to make summer and winter.

At that time, Nie Feng, the forerunner of the Red Flame, who laughed at the arrogant crowd, was sent to the place of death maliciously by the commander. The whole army was surrounded and the remains were incomplete. This conclusion is a thorn in the minds of all the surviving Nebe families and a source of hatred in summer and winter. The handler gave another handsome sandalwood, turning out to be a piecemeal body, half a blood robe. Even though the master is famous, even though the suspension of the mirror makes everyone in their identity awe, it is also difficult to resist the fact that she is completely isolated in front of the clear tomb of her years. She is blind to the mirror and has no standing image and no eyebrows on her shoulders. How can she not resent, how can she not resent, how can she not resent?

If this knot is not solved, Mr. Suspension will always be Lin's dead enemy. It's just that the old case has been settled for a long time. Although the head of the suspense mirror, Xia Jiang, is still alive. How can it be easy to talk about unraveling this old blood knot?

Today's plan can only be slowed down.

“Heard Lord Xia was attacked outside the capital?” Mae Chang-su smiled and spoke of another topic, "Jing Rui came back that day with injuries. He was so scared up and down in the Hou Mansion. Princess Chang ordered someone to apply medicine, but it was quite a mess for the chicken dog... I wonder if the injury was better? ”

“What's a boy hurt? The eldest princess is too petite for a child.” Summer and winter don't care, “my wounds are not serious, long ago, Mr. Lao asked. ”

“But new injuries are healing, and there is always a connection between actions. Please forgive me for being rude in my house. ”

Speaking of flying currents, Summer and Winter's eyes swept past the fierce heat of the martial arts, "Let the guard's name truly be true, I failed today, but I also took it orally. But please don't let him loosen up, I always lose in the suspension door, summer and winter logistics practice, and come back to teach. ”

Mae Chang Su smiled silently, seemingly not worried. Flying Stream is limited by his mind, but his mind is not close. He also practises kung fu when he plays. Kung Fu is for him to play. Plus, he has good martial arts qualifications. Even if he doubles his diligence, it is difficult to keep up with his speed.

Summer and winter, after a cup of medium tea, put it back on the table and stood up: “I'm bothered today. I will do my best, sir. Whatever you want to do in the future is your own business. Summer and winter, however, should be warned first, sir, even if the wrist of the heavens is clear, please do not touch the net, do not go against the sacred will. Otherwise, the suspense mirror will be put on the mirror, the sword will fall, I'm afraid to tolerate the mister. ”

“Lord Xia is kind enough to remember.” Mae Changsu rose and gave a smile. "The grownup so eagerly ordered. Does Su dare not vote for the Peach News Lee? Therefore, there is also a warning sent: loyalty is not necessarily loyalty, rape is not necessarily rape. How many of you want to come to the center of nobility, but also to reach the river and lake, and drive the dead killer without a trace? ”

Summer and winter shook their hearts and turned back, but they looked pale and calm, as if they had just said, it was just a household slurp.

Faced with the look of her interrogation, Mae Chang Su had no intention of further explaining. The green shirt was slightly flashed, and she moved forward to lead the passengers. She said "Please take your time” in her mouth. It was already a real gossip.

Summer and winter are officially discharged at the age of 20. Seventeen years of suspended mirrors have made it impossible to know how many serious suspect clouds have been encountered in her career, so just one sentence can already indicate the direction she is pursuing, and more importantly, the painting snake has been enriched...

Flying figure flashed among the tree branches next to him, appeared beside Mae Chang-su. Although there was no expression on his face, the look in his eyes clearly delighted that the Guest was finally leaving. Summer and winter looked back at Jun-soo's simple face, suddenly his feet stagnated, a feeling of exhaustion poured into his mind.

A major case in hand has not yet begun, and the wave of waves in the capital city is all the more exciting, as if to sweep away everything, making people feel unable to resist or even escape.

Summer and winter felt that they needed Nie Feng's arms bent more than ever before.
