40. Gather together

In the quiet night, the quiet sound of the piano suddenly came from an ancient temple outside the west city of Yangzhou.

The light rhythm flows slowly, making the mood intoxicated and don't want to wake up

In a moment, a teenager recited a poem:

Dajiangdong goes to butterfly love flowers, eight tones of Ganzhou water dragon singing,

Nanxiangzi, Qingpingle

Langtao sand

"Oh, brother," a woman suddenly smiled.

"What's the matter, sister?" The teenager asked.

"Why have you been reading word cards all the time?" The woman asked.

"Is that so? I used to be reciting word cards!" The teenager laughed.

"It's really not good. In this case, I can't get into Jinshi. My sister's rest of her life depends on you." The woman stroked the piano again.

The teenager nodded. After a while, he opened a book and read it carefully.

At midnight, when everything was asleep, the worm barked and the door opened.

A big man who was injured appeared in the moonlight, with a black coarse cloth wrapped around his head, like a barbarian.

He came to the window with a stick, bowed to the young man, and then to the woman who was sleeping soundly on the straw mat. Then he retreated gently, closed the door, and walked away against the cold moon and cold smoke.

Outside the mountain gate, there stood the woman in white stroking the piano. She looked at the scarred man and asked softly, "When will you come back?"

The big man slowly stood on his feet, turned around, and smiled painfully: "I don't know, maybe soon, maybe I really don't know"

"What is this? I'm your savior. You should thank me, and..." The woman in white thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Sergeant, although I don't know your name is, my brother likes you very much. He wants you to live well."

The big man nodded, didn't say anything, and left quietly.

The woman in white looked at him and looked at him until she couldn't see his back until she reluctantly returned to the mountain.

June 21st, late.

Elbow Town.

Mu Yunhan had a high fever. In his dream, he saw Di Ning who died tragically. He grabbed his neck and said painfully: Big brother, big brother, it's all yours. Look, I'm dead now. I'm dead. I want you to die with me and with me...

Mu Yunhan exclaimed: No, don't look for me. It's not my fault. You don't look for me...

When he woke up, Mu Yunhan really saw Di Ning, and he was looking at himself with a smile.

"Second brother, you're back," Mu Yunhan said with apologies.

"Yes, big brother, is your injury all right?"

"It's nothing serious. It will be fine in a day or two." Mu Yunhan looked at him and suddenly asked, "Second brother, let's all die."

Di Ning was stunned at first, then laughed, and tears came out.

"No, I'm not dead yet"

In the blink of an eye, many people appeared in the room, including Zhao Ze, Yang Wenguang, Lu Jun, and many familiar faces.

Zhao Ze walked up to him happily and patted him on the shoulder: "Captain Mu Yun has worked hard. Everyone is very worried about your injury and has never left."

Mu Yunhan wiped his eyes and wanted to sit up, but his body was very heavy, like a mountain pressing on top.

"Don't move, just lie down." Zhao Ze quickly pressed Mu Yunhan's shoulder and told him, "You were poisoned. Fortunately, you didn't hurt your bone marrow. From today on, you can take good care of yourself, call for the array, and others."

"Your Excellency, I'm really useless," Mu Yunhan said with great effort.

"No, you have done a good job. Only in this way can the rebels in Yangzhou take it lightly. Don't blame yourself. No one can predict this kind of accident. You take good care of your injury. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

After Zhao Ze left, the house gradually became quiet, and in the end, only Di Ning and Lu Jun were present.

Lu Jun helped Mu Yunhan drink a bowl of soup and said, "Brother, fortunately, Lord Zhao's wife is here, otherwise you will die."

"Yes!" Mu Yunhan felt a hot pain in his back, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Third brother, I can't move now. I'd like to trouble you to thank Lord Zhao for me. Go quickly."

"Big brother, don't worry, third brother, I've thanked you for a long time. You'd better take good care of yourself."

After Mu Yunhan lay down, his eyes fell on Di Ning again and asked intermittently, "Second brother, what happened to you? It made everyone nervous. Lord Zhao said..."

"I know, big brother," Di Ning grinned and said, "It's all my fault. Tomorrow I will go to Lord Zhao's account to be punished. Brother, don't be angry. It's bad to be angry."

"Well, it's good that you know. Just admit your mistake and don't bump into the adult. You know, go and plead for you when the eldest brother recovers. Maybe the adult won't be too ruthless," Mu Yunhan said worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay..."

Under the gaze of Di Ning and Lu Jun, Mu Yunhan said a few more words, and then fell asleep.

Outside the house, under the sycamore tree.

Lu Jun asked Di Ning, "What you said is absolutely true?"

Di Ning replied, "Of course, otherwise why would I risk my life into the city and think that my life is not long enough?"

Lu Jun showed a smile and patted Di Ning on the shoulder: "Well, then tell the adult tomorrow morning that the adult will definitely die of joy."

Di Ning smiled and said, "If he is really happy, we will have to move!"

Lu Jun shook his head and said, "That's right, then don't let him die of joy, just make him a little happy."

The next day, June 22.

Before Yang Wenguang came to the battle, Di Ning came to Zhao Ze's Chinese army tent, nodded on one knee, and hugged his fists: "I'm Di Ning, see you!"

After thinking last night, Zhao Ze's anger subsided a lot and sighed, "Okay, stand up and reply!"

"Yes, my lord!"
