Chapter two hundred and ninety-six gains and losses
When he arrived at Yecang City, Mo Chengfeng took the lead in going out to greet him. When he saw that there was no Xiao Yunqi among the people who came back, he asked nervously.
Xuan Shaoning briefly said the matter, but Mo Chengfeng learned more details from Duan Lang because Xuan Shaoning was very depressed. Mo Chengfeng thought it must be the general's affairs that made him feel frustrated.
Pei Zhenghao and Mo Chengfeng convened all senior generals to hold a military meeting. They thoroughly analyzed and discussed the current situation of the two armies in Zhenxian City. The final conclusion was that the current measures were the most appropriate. If we really want to fight, then the two armies would inevitably suffer both losses. The terrain in the north of the Mobei is special. The north is Xiliang, and the south is the twelve Central Plains states that were originally Daliang after leaving the customs, but now it is the occupied area of Xia Tang.
To put it bluntly, Ye Cangcheng and Zhenxiancheng are two closely linked enclaves. They are surrounded by Xia Tang and Xiliang, and they also have to fight each other in an internal battle. That is no different from seeking death. Whether it is Xia Tang or Xiliang, they are very willing to reap the benefits of fishermen.
But then again, the commander of the first army could not just stay in Zhenxian City. If anything goes wrong, what should the Jingyi Army do? A group of generals turned their attention to Mo Chengfeng, after all, he was the general's military advisor.
Mo Chengfeng was at a loss. On the one hand, he hoped that the fake military inspector would find out the truth. On the other hand, he realized that since the Tang Dynasty's detailed work had penetrated into the Chiwei Army, it means that Tang had already begun to attack these two enclaves. So has the Xiliang Army also started to take action?
Yanzhi didn't have so much thought. Her heart was all on Xuan Shaoning. She was very worried about Xuan Shaoning's loneliness, but at the same time she was still a little happy inside, although it was simply too out of place to say so.
"The princess named Yunxuan is Brother Xuan's sweetheart. Brother Xuan's vision is indeed high, and everyone who looks at the princess level is the princess. However, now everything has become a foregone conclusion, and Brother Xuan should give up. Without this competitor, I will have a much greater chance!"
Yanzhi looked at Xuan Shaoning and sweared in her heart: Brother Xuan, let those who have left be forever become dusty memories. If you have me in your future life, I will make you happy!
Duan Lang was also with Xuan Shaoning. He witnessed Yanzhi's concern for Xuan Shaoning with his own eyes. It was a heartfelt concern, not pretending. Every move and a look were enough to show how much Yanzhi cared about Xuan Shaoning. This feeling was so good, and it was so good for someone to care about him. Duan Lang felt unfortunate for Xuan Shaoning, and at the same time, he felt glad for him. Who can tell the gains and losses?
"How good would it be if there was a woman who treated me like this? After so many years, she has always been alone. Feiyan once had Siheng, and Shaoning now has Yanzhi, but what about me? Where would that person be? Could it be her?
?” Duan Lang, who was in his early twenties, began to feel a sense of feeling in his heart. According to the customs of Daliang, many men had already started their family at the age of 20. He had been rolling in the military camp for many years and was still alone at this age.
Single? Not very accurate. Duan Lang already had a person in his thoughts. She was so pure and clean. Although she had eye disease, this shortcoming not only did not damage her temperament but made her even more pitiful in her heart. She once had an impulse to protect her well.
Ling Feiyan took Qi Wantong to meet someone. This is a person Qi Wantong has been thinking about for many years. From the loss of his news for half a year to the present, Qi Wantong herself knows how she survived this period. God finally felt sorry for her. Just when she entered Ye Cangcheng, she finally learned that he was still alive, alive intact, right in this city.
As she got closer, Qi Wantong became more and more nervous. Her heartbeat was already losing her vigor, but she had to hold back because he was behind the tent.
The military tent was finally opened, and Qi Wantong didn't dare to blink for a moment. She was afraid that he would disappear in such a blink, and then she had to wait again. I really don't know how long it would take to wait. No matter how painful the eyes were, Qi Wantong didn't blink until the person appeared in front of her.
It's him! It's really him! Shi Gong Zhengyuan stood in front of Qi Wantong in military uniform, his face still had the same face. Although it seemed a little more vicissitudes, fortunately it was him. After seeing her, a ripples finally appeared on his calm face. Perhaps Shi Gong Zhengyuan himself did not expect to see Qi Wantong in Ye Cang City, after all, I heard that she had been in the capital.
Ling Feiyan didn't say anything, turned around and left the camp, leaving all the time and space for these two people.
I originally thought that the two people who hadn't seen each other for so long would have a lot to say, but the reality was that they kept looking at each other but neither of them spoke, just staring at each other, letting time pass. The calmness on the surface could not hide their inner excitement, especially Qi Wantong. God knows how much effort she spent to hold back the urge to cry and forced to laugh.
Shi Gong Zhengyuan finally spoke first, "We haven't seen each other for too long, but you are still so beautiful."
The sun really came out from the west, and Master Gong Zhengyuan actually praised people! Qi Wantong was a little surprised, but she was still immersed in the joy of reunion with Master Gong Zhengyuan.
"Yes, after years of separation, you have changed, become stronger and more mighty." Qi Wantong's voice trembled as she spoke.
"Who is bumpy and displaced all the way from the capital, sit down first." Shi Gong Zhengyuan turned around and planned to make tea for Qi Wantong, but when he picked up the teapot, he found that it was empty inside. He had no habit of drinking tea.
"It's okay." Qi Wantong sat down and saw some of Shi Gong Zhengyuan's
Embarrassment, which seemed too real to her. After all, the former teacher Gong Zhengyuan was like a sculpture, handsome enough but inaccessible to people. He had almost no expression, but now that he had it, he would be happy and embarrassed. Isn’t this the best gift?
"Are you... planning to stay in Ye Cangcheng for a long time?"
"The capital city can no longer go back. Too many things have happened. I can only think of coming to Mobei to find Shaoning. I really didn't expect that I could still... see you again." Qi Wantong briefly said what happened in the capital city.
Shi Gong Zhengyuan seemed to have returned to his original nature. After listening to Qi Wantong's narration, he had no expression on his face. He did not say a word about Yan Keran's betrayal and Xiao Moyan's tragic death, but instead fell into silence.
Qi Wantong knew his personality, and she didn't intend to interrupt him. She sat upright and peeked at him, and more often she didn't know what else she could do.
"People will change. After leaving the academy, everyone will face the desire for power, temptation of money, and worship of status. Yan Keran is just his choice."
"Have you changed?"
Shi Gong Zhengyuan was really choked now. He looked at Qi Wantong with anticipation and didn't know how to answer properly for a while. He was really not good at socializing, especially when socializing with women. Their hearts were always complicated and sensitive, and for Shi Gong Zhengyuan, they were really tired of dealing with it.
"Didn't you say it when you saw me?"
Qi Wantong smiled, "Yes, you have changed and become more humane!"
Shi Gong Zhengyuan looked at Qi Wantong, and what he recalled in his mind was not the little things he had with her, but the things he encountered in the Tang army camp, the things he had to keep in his heart and could not say to anything, even Qi Wantong and Xuan Shaoning.
"Stay here, it's at least safe to stay here."
Qi Wantong nodded vigorously. She didn't ask for anything. She never expected Master Gong Zhengyuan to change even a little. Although she had fantasized about it so much, after experiencing some things, she realized that being able to meet while living is really more important than anything. Seeing him every day in the future is her greatest hope for the rest of her life. She really prayed that God would not deprive all such meager requests.
Ling Feiyan stood alone on the top of the city. Along the way, she had already seen Yanzhi's concern for Xuan Shaoning. She could imagine the joy of Qi Wantong's reunion with her teacher Gong Zhengyuan. She blew across her face with the wind and sand, and at the same time, she was stunned by her eyes and letting tears flow down.
