Chapter 334 It's better to miss than to meet

Qingyunbao and his party, Chu Tianya did not make a big deal. The only people who went with him were Xiao Linglong, Jiao Wentong and Qingwei. It's more like an outing for friends.

Several military disasters, the Xishan area is devastated, a large number of trees have been burned or cut down, and more temple monuments have been demolished. The sparsely populated Qingyun Fort is no longer the quiet weather of the past. The weeds are overgrown and desolate, and it looks a little twilight in the mountains, like the relics left over from ancient times.

"Is there no one living here now?" Chu Tianya asked Ma Yan, who was accompanying him. He is now the number one person in the Song Dynasty in Hedong.

"Maybe or may not." Ma Yu shook his head, as if recalling the past. "Jin Bing went south twice and destroyed and looted Qingyunbao. As far as I know, after the retreat of our army to the south, Wanyan Zonghan, who was furious, ordered to dig three feet of land in Taiyuan to search for Song Zimin. When Ma arrived in Taiyuan to take over the city, there was almost no one around Qingyunbao, leaving only some ruins. Ma also thought about spending some money and manpower to rebuild this military fort. But now the counties and counties in Taiyuan have not been fully repaired, and the people's livelihood has not recovered, so they can't take care of it for a while. Please forgive me..."

Ma Yan is well aware of the status of Qingyunbao in Chu Tianya's mind, so he said it more euphemistically.

Chu Tianya nodded to him with a slight smile, "Ma Xuanfu, you and I are old friends and brothers, so you don't have to say such words. Qingyunbao is a site of the Rebels who fought against the Jin Dynasty and saved the country. If he is free, let's consider cleaning up and recovering! And this castle has its own fertile fields and forest minerals, which is also a little useful for people's livelihood.

"Yes, my lord."

The group chatted and slowly walked into the Qingyun Fort.

The four directions are really a mess, and occasionally you can see the broken weapons left by the golden soldiers and the ashes burned by the fire. Occasionally, one or two pheasants or weasels slip through the waist-deep barren grass. It is indeed uninhabited.

"I didn't expect that Qingyunbao would become like this, hey..." Chu Tianya sighed sincerely. I think he contacted Meng De here with Xiao Linglong to fight against Zhang Yiyan. Since then, there has been a relationship between the two of them, and the life trajectory of Chu Tianya has also undergone a major change. Later, Qingyunbao was also the base of Hedong Rebel Army. Chu Tianya sat on the first tiger skin chair in Qingyuntang and began another life from then on.

Qingyunbao is the turning point and birthplace of Chu Tianya's life. In his mind, Qingyunbao is even more important than his nominal hometown Taiyuan.

Hearing Chu Tianya say this, everyone sighed a little. After all, they have also experienced the most important life here.

Xiao Linglong was next to Chu Tianya and whispered, "Tianya, I know what you're thinking... But he went to Xishu and didn't come to Qingyunbao."

"I know..." Chu Tianya nodded gently, "Since he has left, he won't let me find him again."

When everyone heard what they said, they knew that they were talking about Meng De.

Meng De has always been one of the most important people around Chu Tianya. It can even be said that without Meng De's selflessness and full help, there would be no Chu Tianya today, no Song Dynasty today. However, when Chu Tianya's extreme life reached the top of the world, Meng De drifted away. Perhaps Meng De's literary talent and martial arts are not particularly extraordinary, but his deeds and virtues have always impressed and admired everyone. There is one thing that everyone knows. If Meng De doesn't leave, he will definitely become the only one after Chu Tianya. It's not a problem to worship the king at all.

"He is the most respected person in my life; I will use my life to miss him." Chu Tianya said softly.

Xiao Linglong gently took his arm and said, "If it's predestined, I will see you again."

Chu Tianya smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed forward with a horse whip, "Let's go to Qingyuntang and have a look."

Qingyunbao is very big. Everyone gets off the horse and walks step by step. Along the way, there are mostly deserted fields and burned houses. In the past, the carriages and roads were covered by barren grass, and Xuanwu and Gou Zhen simply practiced swords and grass in front to open the way.

Qingyuntang has arrived, and it is already a pool of ashes. But after approaching, a scene that shocked everyone appeared - between the broken wall and the black, gray and white soil, there was a bright flag and a unicorn flying in the wind!

Seeing this flag, everyone's blood boils at the same time!

That was the flag of the Hedong Rebel Army at the beginning!!

Chu Tianya strode forward to hold the flagpole and shouted, "Someone has been here!" Someone lives here! - Maybe it's Brother Meng Qi! Everyone look around!!"

"Yes!"

Everyone immediately looked for it sporadically. After being destroyed by the golden soldiers, there were almost no houses left in Qingyunbao. Everyone searched all over the big and small mountains and the caves where people might live, but found no people. Meng De's home has also been there, which is also just ashes.

Chu Tianya couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Xiao Linglong said that maybe someone had come, just put a flag here, but left again.

Chu Tianya did not give up and returned to Meng De's former residence again.

A grave is located next to the broken Meng De's former residence. Chu Tianya couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it, because the tomb had obviously been repaired, bigger than ever, and it was newly surrounded by stone.

Chu Tianya suddenly woke up and strode to the edge of the grave to find the familiar stone lock door ring. He pulled it to the side and the door opened!

That's right. This was a tomb built by Meng De for her deceased wife, and there was an underground palace under the tomb. Meng De once offered his deceased wife's spiritual position in the underground palace, and he must come to mourn every day. If he has something on his mind, he must also talk about it in front of the spiritual throne. Chu Tianya once got drunk with him in this underground palace!

As soon as the door was opened, a female voice came from inside, "Who came to disturb?"

"Xiao Ai, it's me!" Chu Tianya's voice trembled a little. He is too familiar with this voice. It's Xiao Ai, that's right!

"Ah?!" The woman inside was obviously shocked. Soon the light turned out. She quickly stepped forward and saw Chu Tianya standing at the entrance of the stone gate at a glance, and the oil lamp in her hand fell to the ground in shock!

"Is it Brother Tianya?"

"It's me, Xiao Ai - Where's the seventh brother?"

"Brother Tianya, it's really you! --" Xiao Ai ran forward with joy and rushed into Chu Tianya's arms and cried bitterly. "We really meet again!"

"Don't cry, little Ai, where's the seventh brother?"

"He just went to the back mountain to hunt, and he came back from time to time! - Brother Tianya, ah, and the princess, please come in, please come in, sit down!!" Xiao Ai was a little surprised and overwhelmed, and quickly invited everyone into the underground palace.

Compared with the beginning, the current underground palace is obviously wider and more comfortable. Ventilation holes have been dug, and there are many more decorations in it. Chu Tianya could see that these new furniture and utensils were made by Meng De himself. The pots, pots, ladles and bed collapses are all available in the underground palace, and they are also quite clean. Meng De has always been versatile, and he is the only one who can build an underground palace so comfortable and suitable for home.

Everyone entered the underground palace and were amazed. I didn't expect that there would be such a unique hole in this deserted Qingyun Fort. More than a dozen people came in and didn't feel crowded.

"I didn't expect to see Xiao Ai again, and I'll see the seventh brother again!" Xiao Linglong took Xiao Ai's hand, looked at her bulging abdomen, squinted and smiled, "Xiao Ai, you are happy. Congratulations!"

"Thank you, princess!" Xiao Ai blushed and smiled, "Princess, you and Brother Tianya should have children, right?"

"Well, it's a boy who brought it to Taiyuan. It's just that it's inconvenient to travel without accompanying. Xiao Linglong replied.

"Really? Great! Congratulations!" Xiao Ai shouted in surprise, "I must see the son of the world!"

"Good!"

Chu Tianya called Xuanwu and asked them to go to the city to get some wine. I'll be here today, and I'll get drunk with Meng De and others.

Not long after Xuanwu and others left, Meng De came back. He carried a bow and arrow and a knife, and had a beard on his cheeks. As always, Kong Wu was powerful and unrestrained. Seeing some majestic BMWs parked outside the underground palace, he understood that it should be Chu Tianya.

He stood not far away and wandered for a long time, and was about to leave when suddenly a figure came and fell behind him.

"Brother Meng Qi, why do you hide?"

"Is it a rosefinch?" Meng De shook his head and smiled slightly and said, "I should have thought that where he was there, there must be a green guard guarding him secretly. Rosefinch, don't stop me, okay?"

"Why?" The rosefinch asked.

Meng De turned around and looked at the rosefinch, "Meng just wants to be a mountain village man who doesn't care about the world, raise our children with Xiao Ai, and no longer be involved in war and struggle. Now he is different from the past. His words, even a look, can change many people's lives. I know he has always wanted to repay me and take care of me. But rosefinch, that's not what I want. I still miss his brotherhood, and I also hope that our love can be kept forever and will be missed in each other's hearts. It's much better not to see each other than to say goodbye.

"Then why did you go back to Qingyunbao? Didn't you go to Xishu?" The rosefinch said, "Brother Meng, don't lie to yourself. You are a man who is affectionate and righteous. You can't leave Qingyunbao, and you can't forget your brother.

"I admit, that's right." Meng De said, "But I really don't want to see him again. He is already the king of Wei who is in charge of the universe. I'm just a mountain village man. We can only have memories, not stories. Please tell him not to come to Qingyunbao again and not to do anything for me. As long as he governs the world of the Song Dynasty well, and there is no war or disaster, I can live a good life in Qingyunbao and be carefree all my life. This is him, the biggest reward for me!"

"..." The rosefinch was silent.

"I avoided it first." Meng De threw the prey at the feet of the rosefinch, "Tell him, I miss him. But let's not see each other again."

The rosefinch watched Meng De stride away. She had ten thousand impulses and ten thousand means to keep Meng De, but she didn't move.

"Meng De, you are the most magnificent and free man I have ever seen!"

Picking up the prey on the ground, the rosefinch turned around and walked into the underground palace.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the rosefinch coming in, holding a few prey in their hands.

Chu Tianya frowned and stared at the rosefinch for the first time and roared loudly, "Why didn't you stop him?"

"Because I'm not qualified." The rosefinch replied calmly, "Lord, if you really treat him as a brother, you should respect his decision."

Chu Tianya was choked by her words and was speechless.

"Your Majesty, shall I wait to find Meng Qige?" Jiaowen Channel.

Chu Tianya waved his hand and sat on the bamboo chair made by Meng De himself, and sighed gently, "Seventh brother is not a pretentious person. Naturally, there is a reason for him to do this. The rosefinch is right. I should respect the decision of the seventh brother..."

Xiao Ai cried beside him, "Brother Tianya, in fact, the seventh brother also misses you very much and misses you all. Many times he will say your names after drinking, and sometimes he will cry out loud.

Chu Tianya's tears suddenly surged into his eyes, "It's better to miss each other than to meet... Seventh brother, I'm satisfied to know that you're doing well! - Let's go!"

After saying that, Chu Tianya was the first to raise his foot and go out.

Xiao Linglong followed a step and stopped again. She untied the jade pendant from her waist and stuffed it into Xiao Ai's hand and said in her ear, "This is my gift to you and the son of the seventh brother in advance. This jade pendant has been following me since I was a child for many years. If anything happens to him, he just needs to bring this jade pendant to me or Tianya. Seeing jade is like seeing people. As long as we can, we can do anything for you!"

"No, princess, this is too expensive..."

"Receive it! - Let's go, Xiao Ai, let's... say goodbye!"

Xiao Ai held the jade pendant tightly and sobbed, "Is it really... It's better to miss each other than to meet?"
