萬澤十二年 立冬 宥州懷德城64Please respect copyright.PENANAtz377fx2Cx
64Please respect copyright.PENANAOvKLSiar39
夜焰和離火兩人到懷德城外時,城外大隊兵馬夾道。一個全副甲冑兜盔的男人,遠遠看見離火身影,馬腹一夾就奔到他們身邊。64Please respect copyright.PENANAyH0Z8j07gq
64Please respect copyright.PENANAVDSMD2QRLn
「將軍!屬下來遲,請將軍降罪。」單成信匆忙下馬跪倒在地上,甲冑發出鏗錚聲響。64Please respect copyright.PENANAJHzaJbOWgp
64Please respect copyright.PENANASResD1h0f1
「我此行私下出遊負傷,你何罪之有?」離火臉上蒼白得沒有半點血色,依舊淡然的回覆。「況且我未領命出征,不可喚我將軍。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAze5yCbzpQx
64Please respect copyright.PENANAoE3FiOjVcT
「是,離王恕罪。」一輩子入伍從軍的單成信,是個只懂打仗的老實武人。他一收到尉遲的消息急得都慌了,哪管得來這麼許多。64Please respect copyright.PENANA9kXhRi7Lhb
64Please respect copyright.PENANA1Rxenjk53V
單成信依然跪在地上,臉懊悔得都皺成一團。他怎麼會那麼嘴笨?64Please respect copyright.PENANAX4InUPgYpr
64Please respect copyright.PENANAqbgz1HH56O
一直坐得筆直的離火,此時身體不聽使喚的逐漸癱軟,他強撐著失血的暈眩在烈日下曝曬。終於忍不了倒在夜焰身上,出發前他披在肩上的繡毯滑落下來,夜焰這才發現離火右臂衣裳全被血浸透了。她一路上笨到以為離火不說話,只是不想說話,原來他一直設法保留體力。64Please respect copyright.PENANAzv54rfZCjQ
64Please respect copyright.PENANABgvAiFsHMK
「救命!」夜焰大喊,高過夜焰的離火壓在她背上,血透過衣裳不停流淌在夜焰身上,夜焰只覺得臉上、脖子一片濕涼。單成信一看眼前景況,立刻上前幫忙把離火攙扶下來。64Please respect copyright.PENANAOerMXmFt6w
64Please respect copyright.PENANAUyxnYz6htm
一行人手忙腳亂的簇擁著離火入城,被獨自拋下的夜焰遙遠看著他們漸行漸遠的背影。心裡又急又怕,她從沒看過那麼多血在一個大活人身上。他受了那麼重的傷,自己竟然一點察覺都沒有。她怎麼會以為離火真的沒事了呢?可他昨天一聲不吭的,還可以抱她上駱駝,看起來就像已經好了呀!64Please respect copyright.PENANAtssgmCYlfE
64Please respect copyright.PENANA7dyQbwG8xt
自責到不知該如何是好,夜焰站在原地愣愣地看著離火消失在視線範圍中。離火貼在她背上時,沾滿她後襟的血還未乾涸,鐵鏽的血腥味撲鼻。夜焰就這樣滿肩滿臉血污的一直站在街上。64Please respect copyright.PENANAfsQrClXP6R
64Please respect copyright.PENANAzorOJ8J4Fd
離火總是很冷靜,她總是慌慌張張。不管發生什麼事,離火都能輕易解決。以至於夜焰以為沒甚麼能把離火打倒,他連流那麼多血都好好的不是嗎?而就在他癱下來那一刻,她的心臟狂跳不止,害怕的真實感才突然湧現出來。原來離火是假裝好好的,他是怕她害怕,直到見到救援才鬆懈武裝。64Please respect copyright.PENANApUMQvwxS7W
64Please respect copyright.PENANA1iitTYmB7B
他還沒跟她去看白池呢!想到這裡夜焰追了上去。對呀,他們還沒能看白池呢。夜焰抹開讓視線模糊的淚水,憑藉剛剛的記憶在街上追著消失的人群。64Please respect copyright.PENANAPhB5tSPSSX
64Please respect copyright.PENANAbwSTQ8MdQ6
失血過多的離火被移到一處府邸,單成信召來專治傷創的大夫為離火診治,大夫判斷劍傷前後貫穿,若想要迅速的止血,須以桑皮線縫合傷口。64Please respect copyright.PENANAIlmAI1wUg6
64Please respect copyright.PENANAZuXeE8JD2c
「此線取自桑樹之根,去其黃皮,煉煮錘制加工而成細線。在創口能清熱解毒、促進癒合。唯獨針線縫其皮肉之痛,恐怕非常人能忍。」大夫說罷。離火強打著精神判斷,眼下必須盡快恢復傷勢,於是點頭答應了大夫。64Please respect copyright.PENANAPajY71xY8E
64Please respect copyright.PENANABVK5dK30BE
大夫下針時離火閉眼咬牙,單成信立刻別過頭去。房裡鴉雀無聲,只剩離火粗重的呼吸聲,才能一絲絲感受到離火正承受巨大的痛苦。64Please respect copyright.PENANApBfCxgF5Ll
64Please respect copyright.PENANA4q5nqLzGi2
單成信心想,他出入戰場從不怕要殺要剮,但針線縫人肉這事,他可真頂不住。這麼折磨人的療法,都是什麼人想出來的呀。64Please respect copyright.PENANAepRLrgWHcA
64Please respect copyright.PENANA0M6E8o23uk
約莫半個時辰大夫縫合完,離火冷汗已經濕透衣服,氣力用盡幾乎虛脫,卻依舊不出一聲,只是閉眼休息。64Please respect copyright.PENANAf7DLvxJ568
64Please respect copyright.PENANAuKaiAk5op4
大夫交代完退熱的湯藥和敷膏,才由下兵帶出去,房裡剩離火與單成信二人。64Please respect copyright.PENANAKI3eEQ8krO
64Please respect copyright.PENANA00V3PmhZb1
他是粗人一向怒就罵痛就喊,他也是跟了離火才知道,世上還有人是這樣的。離火曾對他說:喜怒並非要形於色,忍人之所不能忍,方能為人所不能為。他從這小他不知多少歲的少年皇子身上,學習到了很多,這也是他敬重並追隨離火的原因之一。64Please respect copyright.PENANAqMO2b1w19B
64Please respect copyright.PENANAC0xpCnTgoI
「蕭關目前如何?」64Please respect copyright.PENANA3eHjTHrMcO
64Please respect copyright.PENANAVDr9igbwDh
「離王,眼前你還想著戰事!?我一人便足矣,你安心養傷吧。」64Please respect copyright.PENANANxIlB7aN9q
64Please respect copyright.PENANAkYqykb8saj
連說話都會牽動的疼痛,讓離火長籲氣。「不必擔心,但說便是。」64Please respect copyright.PENANApBet6eZdLh
64Please respect copyright.PENANA3wdNITHdzt
「離王!」單成信雖然一直身在邊關,明白朝中局勢。離王出生入死只換來罵名,何必如此賣命。況且現在身上還有傷,說什麼也要勸退他。64Please respect copyright.PENANAPLmwwAMODi
64Please respect copyright.PENANArisxhoQ3mn
離火這次未能受詔帶兵出征,有很大的原因是以項中書令為首的朝臣,多次進言離火平定邊疆的聲名,特別深受到百姓擁戴。。即使接下來的仗可能會打得更艱難,聖人也甘願冒著風險,不讓離火有再添戰功彪炳的機會。64Please respect copyright.PENANA7rBfePxUoE
64Please respect copyright.PENANAlEF1rYWTbf
而突厥人驍勇善戰,離火苦心多年好不容易分化了他們,此次出擊必須一舉成功,什麼差錯都不能允許,往後再個別突破各部就有如囊中取物。是以離火即使知道抗命是死罪,都必須假借私遊的名義前來和他會合。64Please respect copyright.PENANApxIXZKnUUU
64Please respect copyright.PENANAwEawmiLwpA
單成信對離火寧願丟掉性命也要平定邊疆,實在不能認同。他已經耗費太多在這連番戰役,不應該把命也投進去。64Please respect copyright.PENANAVEvWJUaxb1
64Please respect copyright.PENANA9fP4uFdrpa
離火清楚單成信內心所想之事,這場仗確實他確實非打不可,而且只能勝不能敗。64Please respect copyright.PENANAjEHgzXKQsa
64Please respect copyright.PENANAznVKO7SCg0
但他沒有讓單成信知道,他必須出戰是因為不能在這個時候回上都。他只要夜焰一人回去,如此才可以趕在會審之前舉證太子的罪行,讓他們不能輕輕帶過太子這一筆謀逆之罪。64Please respect copyright.PENANAD58Hx58i72
64Please respect copyright.PENANAk7dQIGBnPq
但離火不能夠回去,朝中大臣正等著他送夜焰返回上都,要治他聯通外敵。64Please respect copyright.PENANAzpafwv4Nhs
64Please respect copyright.PENANAHrb0Wi2T0T
兩全其美的方法,是要襄鵠設法使父皇傳詔夜焰,他就能掌握詔書到達安北的時間,好借出遊的名義躲掉詔書。64Please respect copyright.PENANAeBUcWsq1fl
64Please respect copyright.PENANAbvACwu1YDm
但這個方法只可拖延幾日,他掐準了此次突厥進犯,父皇不可能再讓他帶兵。執意出征不過只是一個藉口,他必須犯一個大錯,如此才能換回重返上都的大好機會,接下來就寄託在老師的門生周左僕射的身上了。64Please respect copyright.PENANAbxog3ZpQCX
64Please respect copyright.PENANA34jOmRRvsu
兩生勿斷,皆活勿連。闊不可太疏,密不可太促。與其戀子以求生,不若棄子而取勢。老師,我的棋已經走到此處,望你能保我棄子爭先。64Please respect copyright.PENANA1POERnrsoL
64Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z1tfYTNWu
「休要再說,我現在只跟你談蕭關如何。」64Please respect copyright.PENANA6xDtUuPyEM
64Please respect copyright.PENANAuNu3FfqWy9
單成信眼見不可能讓離火改變主意,老實地交代了兩鋒交戰的概況,目前突厥內部矛盾,人民生活困苦至極。但浩和部大軍依然是勢如破竹。靈州秦督都軍隊在蕭關集結,從濟水渡船到青石峽防禦,單單幾日已經快守不住青石峽。他趕往蕭關途中收到尉遲消息,轉往懷德城接應離火,如今又過了一日。64Please respect copyright.PENANAwrlX1SBh48
64Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6NvIYIBKD
兩人商討半晌,單成信突然想起一事。「和離王一起回來的孩子,不知如何安排?」64Please respect copyright.PENANA2GnfQoQLtm
64Please respect copyright.PENANAuRQ7bShtFR
單成信出去張羅事情時碰上夜焰,他認出了是同殿下一起入城的人。一個嬌小可愛的孩子,站在府外哭得泣不成聲,看得人都覺得可憐。64Please respect copyright.PENANADqyXoj9GkP
64Please respect copyright.PENANANc1N5qVWXQ
離火想了想,宣夜焰的詔書大抵已經快到了離王府。「送她回安北。不,先帶她來見我。」
