The sky is dim.
Yue Pengju looked at the hills in the distance, the continuous shadows, the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River... His wife's back had completely disappeared. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and took a long breath, feeling extremely relaxed. No matter how unpredictable the future was, he was alone. It is better for people than to die together as a family.
"Sister Seventeen, if there is an afterlife, I will never be a soldier again, and I will never let you suffer any more. I have been the one who has harmed you in your life."
My heart is turning over and over again, not because I am worried about my own fate, but because I am concerned about my wife and children. The future is unpredictable. How many hardships will their mother and son go through in the future? Looking back on my short life, from the island to the village, and then to the military career for many years, all the happy times were spent with my wife. Besides, what kind of fun did I have? Seventeenth Sister's smiles, Seventeenth Sister's mild anger, Seventeenth Sister's gentle care... Could it be that I am destined to never be able to enjoy these things again in this life
Love! Love!
Fortunately, I have her in my life, so I know what love is.
His eyes were moist, and he was thinking crazy.
He was no longer in a hurry to leave, but only took a few soldiers to patrol the area. It was not until evening that he was sure that his wife and others had left safely, and then he slowly set off on the road in the dark to Lin'an.
The last day of fasting.
Tianwei knelt in front of the Queen Mother's tomb, her legs completely numb. A maid came to help her: "Princess, it's time for you to rest..."
She asked in a low voice: "Where is Mrs. Yue?"
"Not back yet."
"If you go and see her again, I'm afraid of her..."
"Tianwei, you don't have to act!"
A cold voice sounded. Tianwei was so frightened that she trembled all over and hurriedly knelt down again: "Brother Ninth..."
Zhao Deji sat down with an unpredictable expression: "Ninth Brother? Tianwei, are you sure that I am really your Ninth Brother?"
Tianwei was shocked and inexplicable. She raised her head and saw a trace of viciousness flashing in Brother Jiu's eyes.
Zhao Deji looked into her eyes and sneered: "Tianwei, I have always been kind to you since you returned to the south. Why do you want to repay kindness with hatred?"
Tianwei was at a loss: "Brother Ninth, what's wrong with me?"
A piece of paper was crumpled into a ball and hit her heavily on the forehead. Zhao Deji yelled angrily: "You bitch, you still dare to pretend? What do you think this is?"
Tianwei spread out the ball of paper tremblingly, and there was a buzz in her head, and she saw it read: Concubine Wei Xian served the Jin people in the laundry house of the Kingdom of Jin, became an official prostitute, and gave birth to two sons. What appearance did she come back with? Where is the face of my great Song Dynasty
Her hand shook and the paper fell to the ground. All she could do was kowtow to the ground: "Brother Ninth... it's not me... it's really not me..."
"Who are you? Apart from you, who else can come back after falling into the Jin Kingdom? How dare you send people to put up posters in the streets and alleys to destroy the reputation of the Queen Mother."
"It's really not me! It's Wang Junhua... It must be Qin Hui and Wang Junhua... Only the two of them knew that Ninth Brother, they were also detained in the Kingdom of Jin and knew all this... "
"The couple fully advocated welcoming the return of the Queen Mother, how could they do this? Who else but you, a bitch?" Zhao Deji lowered his voice and said fiercely, "You must be afraid that the Queen Mother will come back and expose your background, so you took the initiative. Trying to prevent her return..."
Tianwei couldn't argue, and was shocked to realize that she had fallen into a huge whirlpool of conspiracy: "Brother Ninth, do I have any background that can be exposed?"
Zhao Deji sneered and took out a letter from his arms: "Look, what is this?"
Tianwei took the letter and knelt on the ground, trembling all over as she read it. She didn't know how she finished reading the letter. She read it, then read it again, feeling dazed and stiff:
She is a fake princess!
It’s the fake Princess Tianwei!
The real Princess Tianwei has died in Five Kingdoms City!
It turns out that Concubine Wei Xian actually struck first!
It is Concubine Wei Xian who is afraid of being exposed, not herself! !
She suddenly woke up from her initial fear, slowly put the letter aside, raised her head, and looked directly into Zhao Deji's eyes: "Brother Ninth, others don't know if I am pretending to be Tianwei, but you should know it!"
Zhao Deji sneered: "You have changed your behavior and temperament drastically. I really don't know if you are my biological sister. Besides, I am also suspicious. So many people have been imprisoned and failed to escape. Why are you just here?" You are the only one who is so lucky? Tell me, are you a liar who was deliberately sent back to deceive me?"
His voice was so stern that Tianwei was speechless.
"You still dare to lie to me?"
Tianwei slowly stood up amidst his roar, slowly rolled up her wide sleeves to her arms, revealing a light red scar, stared at it, and slowly said: "When I was eleven years old During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the osmanthus flowers bloomed well. I wanted to make a kind of osmanthus sachet, so I pestered my best brother and quietly asked him to pick it for me. There were many maids in the palace at that time, but I only liked this brother to pick it for me. , I had to pick it for me. Because I had just learned how to make sachets, this sachet was going to be given to him. My father had dozens of children, and my brother was not favored by his father at all at that time. He was silent all day long, and he and I had the best relationship. That day, I saw my brother picking a lot of osmanthus flowers, and I wanted to pick them myself, so I secretly climbed onto the branch of an osmanthus tree and accidentally fell off. My brother was afraid of being raped by his father. Knowing the blame, she was so scared that she kept sucking my wounds..." She still stared at the scars on her wrists, sighed, raised her head and looked directly into Zhao Deji's eyes, "The sachet has this brother's name embroidered on the front, and embroidered on the back. The word 'beads'..."
"Zhuuzhu" was her nickname. Zhao Deji was shocked and stared at the scar on her wrist for a long time. This was the secret of the two brothers and sisters. For many years, no one else knew about it except the two. Even the two of them knew it. Even her mother and concubine didn’t know. The person in front of her was Tianwei, the real Tianwei. She was the sister she loved most.
He is his only remaining sibling in this world.
He looked away, not daring to meet Tianwei's eyes. He had never doubted Tianwei's identity because he recognized it. However, if Concubine Wei Xian requested this, how would he handle it
"Brother Ninth, it doesn't matter whether I am Tianwei or not. But today, I would like to remind Brother Ninth again that Qin Hui and his wife were really tricked by others. The death of Wan Wan and the posting of slanderous letters to slander Queen Mother Wei must all come from him. With their hands, he and his wife will destroy Brother Jiu’s empire sooner or later..."
He stretched out his hand to take Concubine Wei Xian's letter back into his arms, with a very cold attitude: "This matter will naturally be investigated thoroughly. In court matters, female relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics. Have you forgotten this rule or are you really unaware? I think you don't need to stay any longer. Pretending to be in the Buddhist hall..."
Tianwei knelt down and kowtowed with a sincere voice: "Brother Ninth, after I returned from being a prisoner, thanks to Brother Ninth's great kindness and deep brotherhood, after several years of prosperity and wealth, I can return to my roots and my soul to the Song Dynasty. I am very satisfied. I also ask Ninth Brother to be kind and allow me to go to the nunnery to serve the Queen Mother’s spiritual tablets and the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha to end my life... "
Zhao Deji said nothing.
Tianwei continued to kowtow: "I have one more request, please forgive Mrs. Yue for once because of the many times she has escorted her..."
Zhao Deji stood up suddenly: "You are so brave. I haven't investigated you for the crime of deception yet, and you still dare to plead for her?!"
Tianwei said nothing more and just knelt down.
"Where is Hua Rong? Where has she gone?"
Tianwei couldn't answer.
Zhao Deji sneered: "You think I don't know your lies? Where did you go when you asked for a son for me? Hua Rong actually ran away a long time ago!"
Tianwei was shocked and relieved at the same time. If Mrs. Yue really ran away, it would be a good thing.
"You should go back to the Prince Consort's Mansion immediately. You are not allowed to leave even half a step without my order."
"According to the decree."
Panlong Island.
This is the first island that enters the sea. The island is evergreen all year round. There used to be a small group of pirates stationed there. They relied on a Dragon King Temple on the island in the past to develop and grow. Now, it has become the first place where King Qin, the overlord of the sea, faced the imperial court. Front-line sentry. In the past few years, the imperial court has been unable to spend money on the navy in the face of the encirclement and suppression by the Dajin and Dongting pirates. Over the past few years, the garrisoned Song navy and pirates have been able to keep up with the situation. These old, weak, sick and disabled people , to a certain extent, those who are officials rely on the pirates to support them during the Chinese New Year. Nowadays, the atmosphere of peace talks between Song and Jin Dynasties has spread all over the country, and the naval forces are even more lazy, with only less than 300 veterans left. It is stationed symbolically in a small town 70 miles away from Panlong Island.
On this day, Panlong Island was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. The gangsters on the island were happy and prepared a sumptuous feast of wine and delicacies, because today was the engagement day of King Qin. The pirates were not so particular in the past. Just snatch the girl, knock her unconscious and send her to the bridal chamber. But today is different from the past. Under the planning of Yang Sanshu, Liu Wu and others, everything is developing in the direction of etiquette and ethics - the leader's engagement cannot be hasty.
Yelu Dayong personally sent his daughter here to exchange name cards and betrothal gifts. Only then did the King of Qin know that Yelu Dayong's daughter was named Li Tinglan. Yelu Dayong admired Han culture and gave his daughter such a refined name. King Qin He couldn't remember it at all. Moreover, he had already transformed into Yuan Wai Li at this time. Li Tinglan was naturally the daughter of Yuan Wai Li and had nothing to do with the Yelu family. Naturally, only King Qin and Uncle Yang knew this secret. The other minions were just happy, thinking that their family Your Majesty is married to a real rich lady, who is a lady among all the people.
The elusive Yelv Dayong did not come in person this time. Of course, this time his fairy-like daughter only showed her back, leaving the island's gangsters with endless reveries. But this time, they were already obsessed with that beautiful back. It was obvious that she was the real deal. She was wearing the exquisite clothes of an aristocratic woman from the Central Plains. With her small feet, she was an out-and-out daughter of a wealthy family. The minions all secretly wondered if there was something wrong with the king: Why didn’t such a beautiful woman come right away? We are getting married, so what kind of marriage should we bother with? But the little minions were so happy to see King Qin eating and drinking that day. Yes, the pirate leader Ming Yuan is marrying a rich lady, who wouldn't be happy
Therefore, when Yelvda quietly left with his daughter and King Qin's Nian Geng wedding in his arms, the minions were immersed in celebration for three days in a row, because not only did they each receive a large reward, but they also discovered that the pirates Their equipment has been upgraded to another level - a large number of firearms purchased from the Lei family, a martial arts family, fully armed the cruiser.
