Tuosang and Sun Jia
The late spring wind was full of warmth, and the sound of reading in the village became louder and louder. In the school at the edge, Luo Luo was the main lecturer. Jun Yu stood quietly at the door for a while, and suddenly heard someone approaching behind him. Turning back, it was Mr. Nongying.
She smiled and walked away with Mr. Nongying.
"Jun Yu, I told them not to prepare for the academy for the time being, don't you mind, do you?"
"How could I mind! It's good to maintain the current situation. If I really want to open a college in this Fenghuang Village, even if it is done, the court will not let me be quiet. Over the past period of time, the affairs of the village have been arranged by the teacher. No matter what decision you make, I will support it."
"I have visited a suitable place, but the journey is long, so I'll talk about it after you think clearly."
"Okay, when things are completely finished, it may be a good thing for us to live in another place."
Mr. Nongying looked at her carefully several times, "Jun Yu, I have found several more herbs, but none of them are ideal. They are mainly focused on the eyes. There is no such herbs I want on Phoenix Mountain. It seems that I have to leave..."
"Sir, there is no big problem with my eyes, you don't need to run around."
Mr. Nongying shook his head: "I know there is a kind of eye-catching herb on Kunlun Mountain. It only blooms a strange flower in early summer, and the flowering period is only seven days. I must obtain this herb during the flowering period, so I must set off immediately."
Junyu knew that persuasion was useless, so he had to nod.
Mr. Nongying had just left when he suddenly reported Sun Jia's visit.
Sun Jia was very happy when he saw Jun Yu, and Jun Yu was also happy, but after looking at the secret envoy who was with him, he became silent again.
The envoy said: "Marson..."
Jun Yu interrupted him: "Sir, please don't call me Marshal again. I have resigned."
The envoy had already visited Fenghuang Village once last year and brought back Jun Yu's military uniform. Knowing that she was determined and not easy to persuade, he only said: "The lower-ranking official came to Fenghuang Village again, and I hope Marshal Jun will understand... Now, the war in the northwest has resurfaced, and the court still needs a pillar-minded talent like Marshal Jun."
Jun Yu said coldly: "There are General Lin, Zhang Yuan, Zhou Yida and others in the northwest. As long as the court uses it, Zhenmuthel is afraid? The secret envoy does not need to persuade him, just tell the emperor directly about Jun's attitude."
Seeing that she was determined and had no chance of being forced, the secret envoy looked at Sun Jia and hoped that Sun Jia would help persuade her.
Sun Jia shook his head and did not take on the job.
The secret envoy had to speak by himself: "Lin Baoshan and others violated the order to send troops to the Tiema Temple, which was originally a great violation of military discipline. However, the emperor thought that they were trying to rescue Marshal Jun, so he would not pursue it, and he would only look down on Marshal Jun's face..."
He didn't mention the battle of Tiema Temple. When this mention, the devil lurking in his heart was almost ready to move again. Jun Yu said lightly: "I'm so proud of my face, thank the emperor for his kindness."
Seeing that her attitude was getting worse and worse, the secret envoy was also annoyed: "Master Jun is alone, without any worries..."
"Yes, I am just believing that Jun is alone in the world, and there is nothing to be afraid of, let alone just resigning from office. To be honest, Jun doesn't even plan to stay in Phoenix Village for too long..." Jun Yu laughed, "There is always a place to go between heaven and earth. If the masters of Qianjimen are interested, they might as well come to chase Jun from the ends of the world..."
The envoy stood up, his face turned blue, and he hurriedly bowed his hand and walked out.
Sun Jia shook his head: "Jun Yu, you have such an attitude, I'm afraid he will report it with added fuel to the fire."
Jun Yu said helplessly: "If this is not the case, I'm afraid they won't give up and send people to be lobbyists again, and everyone will be embarrassed."
Sun Jia said again: "Recently, Zhu Yu has led his troops to seize several cities in a row on the northwest border."
"I never want to fight with him in person. So, I want to leave Phoenix Village."
"I don't want it either. Although he has been in a bad mood with us since he was a child, I never dreamed that one day, he would become our enemy." Sun Jia smiled bitterly, "Now, are there any talents in the Northwest Military Camp who can fight him?"
Jun Yu pondered for a moment before saying, "In the Northwest Army, Zhang Yuan is the most strategic planner, and then supplemented by Zhou Yida, Lin Baoshan and others. If the court makes good use of it, Zhu Yu may not be able to get it."
This is also the main reason why she firmly resigned.
She laughed, "As for the Phoenix Army, it's enough to have you Sun Jia."
Sun Jia had no choice but to go out in a hurry and chased the secret envoy and left.
It was not until Sun Jia's back completely disappeared that Shu Zhenzhen walked in from outside the door.
"Jun Yu, I'm afraid that after the secret envoy returns to the court, the emperor will come to you immediately."
Jun Yu sat down beside her and laughed: "So, Sister Shu, we'd better start a new life in another place."
Shu Zhenzhen nodded. For the past few days, she, Mr. Nongying, Lu Ling and others have been busy with this matter. She said: "Mr. Nongying is looking for medicine for you. When he comes back, we can set off."
Jun Yu suddenly laughed: "Sister Shu, have you noticed? You, sir, Lu Ling, Fei Yan, Manqing and others are all alone. This is good, you are home everywhere, and there is no need to worry too much."
"This is also a great blessing in disgrace!" Shu Zhenzhen sighed deeply, "Look, once Prime Minister Zhu fell, he had to escape in the end, but his relatives were killed more than a thousand people. Although we have lost a lot of family happiness, it is fortunate that we are free and free, at least, we are not afraid of being killed by the nine clans."
"So, we must plan more carefully, find a place of happiness and stay away from the dispute here!"
For the first time in the past year, Jun Yu felt a little relaxed and happy: "Sister Shu, I'll go out again, come back and we can leave."
"where are you going?"
"I'm going to see Tuosan. Two months left will be his death anniversary, so I'm going to see him again."
"You go, but what should I do if Mr. Nongying can't find you when he comes back?"
"Sir, I have my own way to contact me. No matter where I go, I will contact him in time. Don't worry."
Jun Yu got on the horse and Xiaoshuai left Fenghuang Village. On Fenghuang Mountain in early summer, the flowers were blooming and branches and leaves were lush. She took a deep breath of the fresh air in the forest road, but suddenly realized that this path with roses and wild flowers was the familiar place where Tuosang came from thousands of miles to meet.
She smiled and said to herself, "TaoSang, I'm going to see you. Are you happy?"
In the forest, the blooming rose swayed in the wind, as if responding to her words silently.

Iron Horse Temple.
A fire last year had already turned the old eaves temple into broken walls. The temple gate of Tiema Temple was dilapidated, and the surrounding deserted gates were deserted. During the war, almost all of the monks of Tiema Temple were sacrificed, leaving only the great abbot with Xia Ao and others back to the Holy Palace to practice. The current Tiema Temple has completely become an empty and broken temple.
Jun Yu walked in the broken walls and ruins. From a distance, he saw the fragrant sandalwood tree in front of the hall. Many new branches had grown on the cut down stump of fragrant sandalwood, some of which were fast-growing, which were about three feet tall.
Dead trees can still sprout new buds, but once they die, they cannot be resurrected.
Jun Yu looked at the surrounding land very carefully. It was here that Takusan was cremated. The cremated ashes had been blown away by wind and rain. She suddenly remembered that at that time, Takusan was wrapped in dense layers and threw himself into the sea of fire, but almost a moment later, Takusan disappeared. She was in a state of grief and did not feel anything strange. Now that she calmed down, she wondered: No matter what kind of fire attractions, it would not lead to the complete cremation of people so quickly, right? In the end, even Takusan's "relics" were not found.
She took out the jade box in her arms, opened it and looked at the fiery red flower. The flower was very strange and never withered, but for some reason, from beginning to end, she never thought that Takusang had become this flower like Xia Ao and others.
Although there are many strange things in their sect that cannot be explained by conventional means, it is impossible to make her believe that Takusan will become a flower. She shook her head and thought to herself, maybe she would have doubts if she is not a believer! But if Takusan did not become a flower, where would his "relics" go?
She looked at the green eyes on the fragrant sandalwood tree and sighed: Tuo San, dead trees can still sprout, but people cannot be resurrected from the dead!
The sunset has slowly set down the mountain.
Jun Yu placed "Chasing Fei" on the ground and sat down casually against the stump of the fragrant sandalwood tree. She raised her head and looked up from the new branches of the fragrant sandalwood tree. The last ray of sunlight added a faint golden color to the empty and broken temple, which restored the thousand-year-old ancient temple to a somewhat mysterious color.
"Tuosang, I'll be here to accompany you for one night!" The night gradually deepened, and the fatigue gradually came. Jun Yu closed his eyes, leaned against the tree stump, and fell asleep.
After a long time, she suddenly felt an extremely strange atmosphere.
"Who, who is here?"
She opened her eyes and jumped up. At this time, dawn had arrived, the morning dew was deep, and the empty iron horse temple was still silent, only her own voice could not echo for a long time.
She walked a few steps forward, and there was not even a single creepy wall in the Tiema Temple, let alone a figure. Jun Yu touched her misty hair and looked at the gloomy sky in the east. Today was cloudy.
When the wandering little salmon saw her, he screamed and his voice spread far and wide.
"Now, who will come here again!" She smiled bitterly, looked at the fragrant sandalwood tree again, and murmured: "Taosang, maybe I will go to a very far place, and I will never see you again in the future."
A gust of wind blew, and the leaves around them made a rustling sound, like a suppressed sob.
Jun Yu smiled as he heard the rustling wind, "Tuosang, do you feel very sad? But no matter how sad you are, I will not come to see you again. Who told you to leave me?"
This time, even the rustling sound of leaves disappeared.
Jun Yu took a few steps, stopped again, looked back, and then left with great strides.
In front of him was Xining Mansion. Jun Yu pulled his horse and looked in that direction. Finally, he turned his head and headed in the other direction.
Near noon, Jun Yu came to the only inn in the desert. As the war broke out again, there were few tourists in this simple inn.
As soon as he sat down and drank a bowl of tea that was extremely astringent, a stream of smoke suddenly rose from the door, and several fast horses ran over from afar. Amid the waiter's attentive greeting, five big men dismounted and walked in. The leader turned out to be Sun Jia.
"Sun Jia!"
"Jun Yu!"
Sun Jia's voice was even more surprising than Jun Yu. He immediately sat down on the stool beside her, drank three large bowls of tea before saying loudly: "I'm so thirsty."
"Sun Jia, why did you come here?"
"I came here on order. This matter is a long story."
It turned out that a few days ago, Zhu Yu took several consecutive cities in the northwest. The court was furious and demanded that the Northwest defenders do their best to repel Zhu Yu. However, due to the increasingly deep conflict between the army supervisor and Lin Baoshan and others, they often had disagreements and restrained each other. After several dispatches, they were defeated by Zhu Yu. The emperor was even more furious and demoted Lin Baoshan and others. Then, Mei Fei's father, General Mei, was sent to take over the Northwest Army. As soon as General Mei arrived in the Northwest Army, he set out to arrange a battle, trying to give Zhu Yu a devastating blow, so that the court was preparing to dispatch 10,000 elite troops from the Phoenix Army to support him.
After Sun Jia got the order, he traveled for days and first inspected the northwest terrain so that he could have a clear idea.
Jun Yu looked at several men in casual clothes on another table. These men were all nervous and had never seen them in the Phoenix Army.
Sun Jia's face was a little unnatural, but he immediately said: "These brothers are all newly joined the Phoenix Army, Jun Yu, you have never seen them."
The people said solemnly: "I admire Marshal Jun's reputation for a long time..."
Jun Yu shook his head and smiled, "I am no longer a marshal, so you don't have to be too polite."
"But, in the mind of the Phoenix Army, you will always be the 'Flying Commander of Fengcheng'. If you were still in the Northwest Army, how could Zhu Yu be so powerful?" Sun Jia said, "After you left Fenghuang Village, the court sent several more groups of troops to invite you out of the mountain, I'm afraid you won't be out of the matter anyway..."
Jun Yu sighed, "Actually, the Northwest Army is full of talents, but the court does not make good use of it. Why should I just stare at Jun Yu?"
Lin Baoshan was once the direct subordinate of Prime Minister Zhu, and his attitude changed completely after he joined the Northwest Army. Because of this, he was able to escape the great disaster of the Zhu family. However, the emperor was still somewhat suspicious of him, and the defeats in these battles made him extremely grateful. As soon as Lin Baoshan was demoted, Jun Yu estimated that Zhang Yuan, Zhou Yida and others had no room for exercise. Now, General Mei was in charge of his own power, and he had a relationship with the military supervisor. I wonder what would happen if he joined forces?
Jun Yu pondered for a while, and suddenly heard Sun Jia shouting: "This broken place has such bitter tea, so it's better to drink wine."
Jun Yu came back to his senses and laughed. Sun Jia suddenly took out two jars of wine from under the table like a magic trick and handed him a jar to Jun Yu: "Do you try this? A brother brought me a special Fen wine from Shanxi..."
Jun Yu had known that Sun Jia was addicted to alcohol, and when she went out, she often brought good wine collected from her everywhere. She patted the lid and immediately smelled the scent of the wine, but it was thick but not greasy. She couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!"
Sun Jia laughed and raised his head and took a big sip, saying loudly: "I have wine today and am drunk today. How many people have returned from war in ancient times! Waiter, bring any good dishes, bring them up."
Such a simple desert inn naturally won’t have any good dishes, a plate of yellow beef, a plate of smoked bamboo shoots, and a plate of peanuts served.
The two of them started drinking with relish with savor.
After drinking most of the jar of wine, Jun Yu held a piece of smoked bamboo shoots, and his hand shook, and the bamboo shoots fell on the table. She shook her head and stretched out the chopsticks again. This time, the hand holding the chopsticks was a little shaking, as if she could not reach into the plate.
My hands began to numb, but my heart was clear. Of course, I was not drunk, but poisoned.
She raised her head and looked at the opposite side. Sun Jia had already stood up and retreated to the side, with a hint of pain and shame in her eyes. And the few casual men who were with him had already retreated aside, standing side by side with Sun Jia, each with his eyes showing fierce light and weapons in his hands.
