Nightfall

Ning Que woke up, his eyes were full of horror, a piece of clothes pulled away, his hands on the chest nervously groping, only touching a slippery sweat, and did not touch the broken sternum hanging a broken heart, could not help but fear I patted my chest and hurriedly breathed for a long time before I became gentle again.

He looked at Sang Sang, who was asleep at the foot, and looked at the lovely sweat on the black nose of the little girl. Suddenly, it was a very happy thing to live.

Regarding the strange dream that brought him great fear, he was not prepared to tell Sang Sang that he was not going to tell anyone, because even if he just remembered a certain footage in his dream, he would feel uncomfortable, so he decided to forget.

The next day, the simple Horse-drawn Carriage set off in the squeaking noise, far as the larger escort cavalry continued south, about 10 o’clock in the morning, the team was outside Chang An City. The town stopped – the palace ambassadors, the dynasty representatives and the elaborate Princess ceremonies from the capital, have been waiting for the return of Your Highness Princess in this small town a few days ago.

Ning Que jumped off the rut, stood on the edge of the lively team and looked out into the town. He could see a dark shadow of the city, but it was a little far away. Even if he pulled his eyes hard, he couldn’t let that. The dark gray shadow becomes clearer and can only be guessed in the heart – where should it be Chang An?

The vast and complicated ceremonies slowly re-started, and this time no one ever called the two masters and servants.

Ning Que and Sang Sang stood by the road and watched the luxurious Horse-drawn Carriage passing by them. Looking at the closed window, he thought about the Princess inside and the barbaric little Prince. I remembered the fire, couldn’t help but touched my face, then smiled.

When the fourth Horse-drawn Carriage passed by them, the curtains were taken up. The old Lu Qingchen squatted the white beard and smiled at Ning Que standing by the road. Ning Que was deeply and gracefully repaid.

The guards and the grassland barbarians passed through Ning Que and did not dismount. They bowed their hands on the horseback, with a sorry smile on their faces, and the imperial ritual was strict. Peng Guojun, the head of the guard, returned to Chang An and wanted to come to the future. It was only at this time that the Imperial Court officials did not dare to make it. As for the few grassland barbarians who bid farewell to the Ning Que cup one fist in the other hand, the look on their faces has obviously become more relaxed and enjoyable. The shadow of the blue Lake chopsticks is no longer there, they imagined Chang An’s bustling days have become alive and happy.

The Gushan County cavalry in charge of the temple was full of vigilance and watched all around. They were squatting with their hands. Their leader, Hua Shanyue, glanced at Ning Que and then speeded up. It seemed that there was no such person at all. Maybe he I have really forgotten the existence of this little person.

Ning Que shouldn’t care about the other’s attitude – enter Chang An City, the other is the son of the high gate, the best character of the young generation of the Great Tang military, and he is now off the military, just the lowest level of the people, if he is lucky It’s good to enter Academy, but it’s just an inconspicuous wall tile in the imperial bureaucracy. No matter how you look at it, he and Hua Duy, who used to show hostility and even killing intent, will not be related any more.

But will he be willing to pay for his life like this? He won’t be reconciled, so he knows that he and the proud young general will definitely have a meeting again, and that day should not be too far.

After the Princess car and the escort cavalry left, the people in the town suddenly lost more than half, but they were a lot more lively than before. The small hawkers who dared not come out to set up stalls did not know where they came from. Those who sold the door to avoid troubles and closed the door also reopened the door and began to hurry to run the business.

Selling the tattered Horse-drawn Carriage to a shop in the town for a tattered price, Ning Que took a slap on Sang Sang’s thin shoulders and comforted that the old car had been with them for many years in Wei City. If you sell it like this, you will have some disappointment. It’s just that Chang An City is in front of you. It’s not a good mood to recall the sentimentality.

There is no choice to accommodate eight Horse-drawn Carriage side-by-side spacious official roads. The two walk along the ridges along the official road, and the cauliflowers in the fields are open, and the butterflies slowly fan in the spring breeze. With wings, the annoying bees kept screaming around, the tears in the corners of the little maids gradually dried up, and the hands clasped the wrapped ties, dragging the parcel that looked bigger than her, on the ridge. Walking and watching, I have a smile.

In the sun, Ning Que took a heavy parcel and talked with the little maid to gossip. Although she often didn’t get a response, she still enjoyed it. Her eyes were greedily passing over the countryside and farmland, not far away. The farmer who was resting in the field waved and greeted him, and saw the butterfly flying in front of him.

He left Chang An when he was very young, and he has been spending time in Mount Min and the grassland wilderness and the little side town. He is surrounded by sinister jungles, boring grasslands and ubiquitous dangers. He is now back in the belly of the empire. Seeing these calm and beautiful scenery life, it is difficult to hide joy and excitement.

Along the way, after about two or three hours, the shadow suddenly spread from the creek peach forest in front of them to the top of their heads. Ning Que thought that it had not yet reached the night, and had previously looked at the sky without signs of rain… …

He wondered about the raise one’s head and saw a black city wall appearing in front of him. The city wall was so high that it seemed to have no end, and the half of the sky covered the unsettled glare. Go, you can see that there are three black spots in the air at the height of the city wall.

Looking to the left did not see the end of the city wall, looking to the right did not see the end of the city wall, this huge city can not see how many squares, Huanghuang silent silent standing in Heaven and Between Earth, Sang Sang stared wide-eyed looked at the magnificent city in front of him and looked at the crowds on the official road not far away and asked, “Is this Chang An City?”

The three black spots in the sky flew lower. It turned out that the two eaglees were flying with their children, and they were going back to the eagle’s nest, and their nest was between the mottled city walls. The city wall has been washed and weathered by millennial rain, and the surface looks a bit ruined, but the interior of the city wall remains indestructible.

The eagle learned to fly and then returned to its nest – Ning Que looked up at the world’s first magnificent city, his face with a sincere smile, he traveled for many years, and finally came back today.

Chang An City, long time no see.
