On the outskirts of the royal capital, a tea shop next to the official road emits bursts of sweet and mellow wine fragrance, which makes people feel intoxicated just by smelling it...
A middle-aged businessman came smelling the incense, and saw a donkey cart parked at the entrance of the shop with dozens of jars of wine on it. The middle-aged businessman's eyes lit up immediately, his mouth was salivating, he sat down at an old but clean square table, and shouted to a man who looked like a mistress: "Little Er, have a bowl of wine!"
The little boy greeted him with a smile on his face, but he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, sir, the shop doesn't sell this wine!"
The middle-aged businessman didn't pay much attention to this dilapidated tea shop. If the wine was not so fragrant, he might not have condescended to enter such a low-end tea shop, but he didn't expect to be rejected yet. He became a little angry for a while, and took out a silver ingot worth at least ten taels from his sleeve, put it on the table with a "snap", and said angrily: "Xiao Er, don't you think that the old man can't afford the money!"
"Don't be angry, sir! Calm down, sir!" Xiaoer bowed his head and smiled apologetically, "It's not that the small ones are not for sale, it's that they really can't be sold!"
At this time, a young scholar sitting at the table next to him interjected: "Brother, you don't know that this is a fine wine brewed by the boss himself. Twenty years of good wine! This boss is absolutely reluctant to take it out on weekdays... "
The middle-aged businessman interrupted the scholar impatiently: "Since they are all out, why don't you sell them?"
Xiaoer's face straightened, and he said solemnly: "I don't know something, the reason why the master brought out these twenty years of fine wine today is not for selling, but just to welcome the heroic soul of the official general."
When he heard the official general, the middle-aged businessman was stunned for a moment, and his face softened a little, and he asked: "I have heard about the redress of the official family, could it be that the young general helped Ling back to the capital today? day?"
"That's right." Xiaoer nodded, looking at both sides of the official road, "The people over there gathered here spontaneously to welcome the heroic spirit of the official general back to the capital!" I saw that the official road stood on both sides There are many men, women and children, all looking forward to the distance.
At this moment, I only heard the shouts one after another: "Come, come."
The scholar was startled and looked up, only to see white shadows swaying on the small slope not far ahead, and white flags surging like rolling snow waves, which made people feel shocked.
"Here we come! We come!" The shouts, which were uneven at the beginning, seemed to find a common rhythm in the shouts, and gradually became uniform. The sound was like thunder, shocking people's hearts.
At this time, the owner of the tea shop came out from behind after hearing the sound, followed by a young man who looked a little like him, and hurried to the donkey cart full of wine jars.
The people who had been resting near the tea shop also moved one after another. Some held the spirit flag solemnly, some held the funeral plaque with a mournful expression, and some held the white flag high with tears in their eyes.
"General Guan has returned home." Someone shouted on the slope, "General Guan has returned home..."
Amidst the shouts, a young man in a rough linen filial robe came riding a white horse and carrying a white banner. Behind him was a group of men in white clothes guarding five carriages covered in white cloth, each of which had a dead body. Coffins, five carriages are five coffins, it makes one's chest tight and unspeakably uncomfortable.
The young man rode his horse, with fluttering sleeves, fluttering white flags, and the sound of hunting, like a fairy about to fly away.
But the five coffins behind him, and the traces of grief emanating from his body, remind everyone that he is not a fairy, but a human being, a living person who has lost his loved ones. !
"Father, Uncle, Vice General Liu, Captain Yang...we are going home!" The young man shouted loudly, like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts.
The white-clothed men behind him also shouted in unison: "General Guan, Deputy General, Deputy General Liu, Captain Yang... We are going home!" The loud voice seemed to shake the world!
Someone sighed with emotion: "It's really pitiful, there are only one official and junior general in the whole family."
That's right, he is the only one in official language, and he has no relatives!
The official family is full of heroes and heroes, and tens of thousands of official soldiers died so unjustly!
Guan Yu's face was expressionless, his eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he was the only one left in the world.
"General Guan!" Someone knelt down and whimpered, while others began to throw out paper money.
"General Guan, let's go all the way." Uphill and downhill shouted in unison.
Passers-by who happened to pass by unknowingly stopped, looking at the paper money flying all over the sky, looking at the mighty funeral procession, their expressions became solemn and their hearts were heavy.
"It's so pitiful! I heard that all the relatives died at that time, and only the little general was still in prison and was tortured... almost lost his life."
"It's a good thing to be accused of being indebted to the air force, collaborating with the enemy and treasonously. Those traitors, who don't serve the country and the people themselves, want to frame the loyal ministers and generals who serve the country and the people. It's really a terrible death!"
"It's a good thing that the officer and the general are blessed with great fate, and with the help of righteous men, they escaped from birth. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for the day when we are wronged!"
"But this person has died too much. What will the little general do in the future? He's all alone... why don't we help him out?"
"..."
The people's emotions became more and more excited, and their blood boiled with enthusiasm, but these disturbances did not reach the official language's ears at all.
He just numbly rode his horse towards the west city gate, followed by the five carriages with coffins, but the number of the funeral procession was growing continuously, the white flags were billowing like a sea, and the paper money was swaying like rain , almost the whole road was dyed a tragic white...
The owner of the tea shop followed behind the funeral procession in his donkey cart, and his son followed behind, picking up a jar of wine as he walked, and smashing it heavily on the ground...
"Snapped!"
The wine jar was shattered, and the fragrant wine splashed all over the floor, which made the middle-aged businessman in the tea shop feel distressed for a while: It is a good wine for twenty years! It would be great if it was sold to him. !
"Crack! Crack!..."
Walk all the way, smash all the way, comfort the heroic spirit with this fine wine!
At the gate of the west city, the crowd was surging, and someone set up an incense table to worship the heroic spirit. The gate guard looked at the huge funeral procession, feeling a little nervous, and hurriedly went to the city gate officer: "My lord, will this, this, be okay?" Is something wrong?"
"What could happen!" The city gate officer took a deep look at the funeral procession, and suddenly patted the guard on the head, "It's just that there are more people welcoming the spirit, and the battle is getting bigger!"
"Your Excellency said so." The guard hastily echoed.
The city gate officer stroked his beard, and said again: "You, go to the Wucheng Bingma Division to report, and say that because of the huge funeral procession, in order to prevent a stampede, you should ask the Wucheng Bingma Division to help maintain order .”
The guard responded and went to work.
Soon, the huge funeral procession finally passed through the west gate.
Behind the city gate, the people who lined the road to welcome people were even more spectacular. Some came to express their condolences, and even some came to watch the excitement, making a lot of noise.
The funeral procession gradually entered the bustling area of the capital, and there were many shops and restaurants on both sides of the street...
Suddenly, Xiaosi whispered something in Guan Yubai's ear, Guan Yubai frowned, suddenly reined in the horse rope, and the horse stopped; immediately after, the five carriages carrying the coffin also stopped ;After that, the funeral procession behind the carriage also stopped... It was as if time was stopped by a spell at this moment.
The people in the surrounding streets were all confused and looked at each other... Gradually, someone's ears moved, as if they heard something, and hurriedly signaled the people around them to silence. Not long after, the noisy street miraculously became silent.
And the sound of music that had been suppressed gradually became clearer, and a deep Xun sound came from a restaurant in front, deep and far away...
"Listen!" Someone yelled, but his mouth was immediately covered by the person beside him.
The sound of the xun became clearer and louder, sad and dignified, as if an old man who had experienced many battles was about to tell a shocking story.
Suddenly, there was a pause of the Xun, and a loud and clear singing voice was clearly heard by everyone.
"The smoke rises, the country looks north..."
When the singing started, the Xun sounded again, following the singing, it was fast and sometimes slow, sometimes slow and sometimes urgent, enthusiastic and passionate...
"... so many brothers and sisters buried their souls in other places, why should they die to serve their country..."
Guan Yubai's heart moved slightly, the voice was...
Not only did he feel familiar, Xiao Si also recognized it, and couldn't help blurting out: "My lord, it's Bai..." Lily's voice. He didn't have a chance to say these last few words, Guan Yubai stopped him by raising his hand.
The singing is still going on, and it perfectly matches with the sound of the xun. Later, it is not known whether the xun is accompaniment to the song, or the song is playing in concert with the xun.
"... I can't bear to sigh, I am even more speechless, my eyes are full of blood and tears..."
"... I would like to defend the land and restore the frontiers, and I would like to let the Quartet come to congratulate me..."
"... the dead are gone, only the heroic spirits are immortal!"
Whether they came to attend the funeral or to watch the excitement, there seemed to be such a scene in front of them: the flames of war, the gold and iron horses, the soldiers led the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely, defending the family and the country, and finally died on the battlefield.
Just thinking about it makes my heart hurt like a knife, and my blood is dripping!
Obviously there was only one Xun and one person, but everyone was agitated when they heard it, their hearts seemed to be on fire, more like something was about to burst out like hot magma.
Finally, someone suddenly raised his head and shouted: "I am willing to defend the land and open up the frontiers, and I want to let the Quartet come to congratulate me!"
There was another moment of silence around, as if at that moment, a certain barrier in the hearts of many people was shattered, and more people shouted in unison: "The dead are gone, only the heroic spirit is immortal!"
These shouts were superimposed together, and the sound was like thunder, shaking the capital of the king.
No one noticed that the sound of the xun and the singing disappeared in the wind at some point, but the libretto seemed to have been engraved in everyone's hearts, and all the voices finally turned into the same sentence: "The heroic spirit is immortal, the heroic spirit is immortal!"
…
"Heroic spirits are immortal?"
In the imperial study room, the emperor was playing with a thin blue and white teacup, muttering these four words in his mouth.
Eunuch Liu was so respectful that he didn't dare to take a breath.
"What else?" the emperor asked impatiently.
Lu Huaining, the commander of Jinyiwei who came to report the news, replied: "Returning to the emperor, besides the restaurants and shops, there are also incense cases set up at the entrance of the academy, and the students even wrote poems..."
The emperor couldn't help thinking of General Guan Ruyan, the man who guarded Xirong for Dayu Jiangshan, and he remained silent for a long time.
The emperor sighed a long time and shouted: "Lu Aiqing!"
"The minister is here!" Lu Huaining, the Commander of Jin Yiwei, hurriedly responded.
"Order Jin Yiwei to cooperate with the soldiers and horses of the five cities to maintain the law and order of the king's capital, and not to disturb the heroic spirits of the officials and generals." The emperor said slowly.
"Follow the emperor's orders."
After Lu Huaining left, the emperor pondered for a while, and suddenly asked Eunuch Liu beside him: "If I remember correctly, the seal of the official residence is still there."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor sighed for a long time, and ordered: "Huai Ren...you go there, and Xuan Guan Yu Bai will see you."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Liu immediately took the order to retreat, and within half an hour, Guan Yubai, dressed in a rough linen filial robe, entered the imperial study under the guidance of the little eunuch.
"Cao Min Guan Yubai pays homage to the emperor!" Guan Yubai respectfully knelt down on the ground, lowered his head slightly, and half-drowned his eyes, so that the emperor could not see his expression and eyes clearly.
The emperor looked deeply at Guan Yubai below, with countless complex emotions flashing in his eyes. He still remembered that time, when the Dayu Dynasty had just been established, he was still only the crown prince, and Guan Yubai, who was only five or six years old, was lying in front of him. On his lap, he happily called "Prince Uncle". He also said with a smile that he would let Guan Yubai learn the art of war and martial arts well. If he ascends the throne in the future, Guan Yubai will be a fierce general under him...
The original joke seems to still be in my ears, but it has changed.
After a while, the emperor said slowly: "Let's get down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Guan Yubai got up and stood with his head bowed.
"Guan Yubai, the official family has suffered such a catastrophe and suffered wronged, can you blame me?" the emperor asked, the question was sharp and sharp, his eyes were fixed on Guan Yubai, unwilling to let go of the slightest smirk on his face Variety.
"My Majesty, if it is said that the Caomin never complained to the Emperor, even if the Caomin said so, the Emperor would not believe it." Guan Yubai raised his head and looked at the Emperor calmly, his eyes were clear, "But the Caomin always remember my father. The teachings..." He said with a solemn expression, "The official family was originally a reckless man, and he was deeply favored by the emperor, so that the official family is what it is today. Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king! Listen, now that the emperor has eradicated traitors, cleared the grievances of the officials, and cleared the world, my father can rest in peace under the nine springs."
The emperor's expression softened a little, and he sighed: "It's rare for you to think clearly, what are your plans next, or what are your requests..." After a pause, he continued, "I can satisfy you as much as possible."
"Caomin thanked the emperor here, Caomin has nothing to ask for now." Guan Yubai looked respectful and spoke in a soothing manner, "Then Caomin wants to take care of the family affairs, so that they can go to the soil as soon as possible, and Caomin's life As a son of man, no matter what, we must form a hut next to the grave of our relatives and keep filial piety."
The emperor's eyes revealed admiration: "Yubai is full of filial piety. I believe that the official and the general have knowledge in the underground, which can comfort Jiuquan." He pondered for a moment, and suddenly suggested, "How about this, wait for Yubai to finish your filial piety for the official and the general. Return to the court and rebuild the official army for me." The emperor is really sincere. The official army is brave and good at fighting and has never been defeated. Guan Yubai, the Guan Yubai he once regarded as his nephew, he also hoped that he could return to the court.
"Caomin hereby thank the emperor for his trust and love." Guan Yubai said in a gentle voice, "It's just that with the current physical condition of Caomin, I am afraid that he can only bear the weight of the Holy One. Now Caomin's martial arts are useless and his body is weak. If you are weak, you will not be able to practice martial arts in this life, and I am afraid that you will not be able to rebuild the official army."
The emperor turned pale with shock: "The martial arts are useless, how can this happen?"
He was also a little worried that Guan Yubai would hold resentment against him, but when he heard that he had lost all his martial arts, the emperor was still shocked beyond that trace of worry, and hurriedly said: "Huai Ren, hurry up and get rid of him." Physician Wu please come."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Liu immediately dispatched a young eunuch to invite Imperial Physician Wu.
Guan Yu's white feather eyelashes drooped slightly, his eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything.
Not long after, Imperial Physician Wu entered the imperial study panting, and without waiting for him to salute, the emperor hurriedly ordered: "Physician Wu, take Guan Yubai's pulse and see if there is anything wrong with his body."
"Your Majesty's Order." Imperial Physician Wu got up to accept the order.
Guan Yubai bowed his hands to Imperial Physician Wu: "Then I will be in charge of Imperial Physician Wu."
After the two sat down, Imperial Physician Wu stretched out three fingers to rest on Guan Yubai's left wrist, and carefully felt the pulse.
After he withdrew his hand, he heard the emperor ask with concern: "Wu Imperial Physician, how is Guan Yubai?"
Physician Wu replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the official son has been severely injured and poisoned, which has damaged his spleen and lungs. If he keeps it carefully, it will be fine, but he must not catch cold or eat it. Cold food, don't overwork, don't..." Taiyi Wu said a lot of taboos, and then sighed with regret, "It's a pity that the martial arts of the official son are useless, and with his physical condition, it is also a pity." It is not appropriate to practice martial arts anymore, or it will damage your lifespan." Physician Wu couldn't help but glance at Guan Yubai, the two are old acquaintances, the former officer and general is the most shining new star in the capital, Iron Horse Jinge, However, it has just risen, and then it has fallen...
The emperor's face showed pity, and his heart was a little suffocated. Although he was shunned by a traitor at the beginning, it is still difficult to make up for his mistakes.
Such a general, seeing this loss.
The emperor waved his hand to make Wu Taiyi retreat first, and then said to Guan Yubai: "...If that's the case, then I won't force you." After finishing speaking, his expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Guan Yubai listens to you." Purpose."
"Caomin is here!" Guan Yubai immediately knelt down to listen to the order.
"Today, the official title is the Marquis of An Yi, the second-class Marquis, and hereditary for three generations. He is bestowed with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred acres of fertile land, and the old house of the official and general..."
Guan Yubai seemed to be listening intently, but his mind had already flown beyond the sky. At this point, even if the whole world is held in front of his eyes, his family will never come back...
An hour later, the old mansion of the General's Mansion, which had been abandoned for two years in the east of the capital city, ushered in its old owner again.
Even under the cover of emerald green plane trees and bright sunshine on both sides, this huge general's mansion can't hide its loneliness and desolation.
One of the two stone lions at the door has long been missing. The plaque that was once immaculately wiped has disappeared. Even the seal on the door is almost half missing. The brown-red door is closed tightly, and the bronze lion-shaped door knocker dusty...
Guan Yubai stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar door, and did not move for a long time. As the old saying goes, things change and things change. But it turns out that not only "people are not", things are not.
Guan Yubai had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't tell what it was like.
"My lord!" Xiao Si revealed a rare worry on his expressionless face.
"I'm fine." Guan Yubai said flatly, strode forward, raised his hand resolutely and pushed open the door that had been dusty for two years.
"Squeak--"
The dust on the door flew up with the opening of the door, spilling Guan Yubai and Xiaosi into disgrace. But Guan Yubai didn't care, and continued to walk forward with a complicated expression. He has lived here for more than ten years, and every brick and tile here is very precious to him, but now he only feels familiar and unfamiliar.
He is the only one left in this family, so is it still called home
Xiao Si looked around and found that in just two years, this once glorious General's Mansion has become like a ghost house, full of dust and cobwebs everywhere, withered flowers and plants, broken bricks and broken tiles, not even a single sight in the hall. Put the perfect table and chairs...
When the officers and soldiers ransacked the house back then, the entire General's Mansion had been completely changed beyond recognition.
But how did I ever think that one day they would come back here openly!
only…
Xiaosi frowned, now that the chaos is like this, how can the young master live
"My lord, I'll find someone to clean your place first..."
Before Xiaosi finished speaking, Guan Yubai shook his head and said, "Help the master and the others set up a mourning hall first." He seemed calm, but his voice was hoarse, obviously his heart was far less calm than he appeared on the outside.
"Yes." Xiaosi's order to the young master will always be only this one word.
Soon, Xiao Si and the people who came back from Fu Ling took action. Their efficiency was extremely fast. In less than an hour, white curtains had been hung in the mansion, and the mourning hall was set up. From the offering table, table surround, red and white worship mat, filial piety basin to the spirit, everything was complete, and even the coffin was carried. In the mourning hall. And the waists of these people were also tied with white linen.
Guan Yubai knelt respectfully in front of the filial basin, and offered paper money one by one to his father, mother, uncle, and all relatives and comrades-in-arms, with a pious and solemn expression, as if what he was doing was the most important thing in the world. one thing…
The fact that the official family cleared the snow and redressed their grievances was like a legend that not only spread throughout the capital, but also spread to the world. Their every move was watched by countless pairs of eyes. The official family opened a mourning hall for the deceased general and soon spread the word. The official family's old friends came to offer incense and pay homage after hearing the news. False, hypocritical, regretful... The gate of the general's mansion welcomes anyone who comes.
Before he knew it, three days had passed, but Guan Yubai felt like it was yesterday.
Another official who came to express his condolences was sent away. Xiao Si looked at Guan Yubai worriedly, and saw that his face was as pale as paper, his eye sockets were sunken, and there was a deep shadow under his eyes, making him look very haggard.
"My lord, you have been kneeling for three days and three nights!" Xiaosi couldn't help but persuade, "If you go on like this, your body will not be able to take it anymore!" Guan Yubai hardly had a drop of water in these three days, and he only took Nangong The heart-protecting pills given by Yue.
If it was Guan Yubai who was once healthy, it would be nothing if he did not eat or sleep for three days and three nights, he was still full of energy, but now he is not even as good as a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken.
Guan Yubai didn't say a word, and when Xiao Si was considering whether to knock Guan Yubai unconscious with a palm, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the mourning hall. Xiaosi looked up and saw Nangong Yue walking slowly with Baihui and Baihe sisters under the guidance of a servant.
"Princess!" Xiaosi yelled in a complicated manner, and remembered the scene that happened when he marched to the capital on the third day.
Lily seemed to know what he was thinking, and winked at him mischievously. Although the lyrics and music were written by the third girl, it was not easy for her. For that song, I practiced for so many days without saying it, and my voice became hoarse that day, unlike my cousin Baihui blowing the xun, it's much easier!
Guan Yubai, who was kneeling beside him, slowly raised his head, and there was a slight ripple in his empty eyes.
Nangong Yue and him nodded slightly, and continued to move forward without looking sideways, until they walked to the coffin, offered incense, saluted, and finally walked in front of Guan Yubai.
"Young Master Guan." Nangong Yue sized up Guan Yubai. Even if he didn't have a pulse, he could tell that he was seriously lacking in sleep and was just struggling with medicine. Given his fragile physical condition like a paper doll, it is probably not surprising that he will lie on the sick bed for three months.
As a doctor, Guan Yubai was probably the kind of patient she hated the most. If Nangong Yue hadn't regarded him as a close friend, Nangong Yue would have just thrown up her sleeves and left.
Xiao Si glanced at Nangong Yue begging for help, hoping that she could help persuade the young master, but seeing Nangong Yue's delicate brows slightly frowned, she said sharply: "Mr. Guan, you have already made your wish, so are you planning to commit suicide? "
Guan Yubai's slender body trembled slightly, but Xiaosi's eyes had already flashed a cold light, Baihui and Baihe believed that if Xiaosi hadn't respected Nangong Yue, he might be going to drive her away. Baihui glanced at Nangong Yue strangely, and always felt that she saw Xiao Shizi at that moment just now... Was the third girl infected by Xiao Shizi
Guan Yubai raised his head slowly, and a spark was ignited in his eyes that were ashen ashes.
"Young Master." Nangong Yue asked intentionally, "I've always been curious about what happened to King Yan forcing the palace."
Guan Yubai finally spoke, and said in a rough voice: "I didn't do much, I just forged letters, kidnapped the eldest prince, and let Yue Ze play by ear..."
Guan Yubai has been investigating who framed the official family, and finally found King Yan. However, he has no real evidence in his hand, and it is impossible for King Yan to admit the framed matter, so what he can do is to let Yan Wang's house was ransacked because of other things, which made him conspire with Xirong. Therefore, Guan Yubai ordered someone to forge Xirong's letter, and in the name of Xirong, he made an appointment with King Yan to force the palace during the New Year in the second year of the Ming calendar, and took the eldest prince away as a signal.
Yue Ze is a member of Guan Yubai, or in other words, Yue Ze is a member of the official army. According to Guan Yubai's instructions, he pretended to take refuge in King Yan, and at the last moment, he defected...
that's how it's done.
Guan Yubai really did nothing, because it is true that King Yan and Xi Rong colluded, it is true that King Yan coveted the throne, it is even more true that King Yan framed the official army, what Guan Yubai did was only to catalyze his ambition.
It was only then that Nangong Yue suddenly realized why there was no forced palace during the new year in the previous life. At this time in the previous life, Guan Yubai was still suffering from the poison in his body, so how could he plan like this? At that time, When his health is getting better, I am afraid that he has already missed the best opportunity.
Nan Gongyue said softly: "The King of Yan has already been punished, and the general and the official army can rest in peace under the Nine Springs."
"Yan Wang was not the only one who framed the official family back then, and now I'm just using the matter of Yan Wang to vindicate the rebellion." Guan Yubai's dry lips were peeled, and he didn't seem to have a trace of blood, so he said slowly, "Although King Yan framed us back then, the emperor ordered us to be escorted back to the capital to be interrogated by the three divisions, but at that time there was no room for a comeback. However, my father died on the way, and I was also poisoned... and finally ended You will end up being hacked by everyone."
Nangong Yue's heart was astringent when she heard this, because of the unjust death of the loyal family, "So, it's not time for you to end all this safely."
A sharp light flashed in Guan Yubai's eyes, and he murmured: "I will definitely claim back this blood debt one by one!"
When he said the first word, his voice was still very soft, but when it came to the last word, it was sonorous and forceful.
Seeing that Guan Yubai had regained his vitality, Nangong Yue also felt relieved. What this person is most afraid of is losing the will to survive. As long as he wants to survive, even if one of his feet has stepped into the gate of hell, he is confident that he can snatch him back from the hands of Hades.
Nangong Yue pondered for a while, and asked, "What are your plans for the future, Young Master?"
Guan Yubai smiled wryly and said, "It's just wandering around the rivers and lakes."
Nangong Yue inevitably showed surprise, she thought that Guan Yubai would return to the temple and slowly plot revenge.
Guan Yubai naturally knew what she was thinking, and said calmly: "Although our emperor is not a fool, he is soft-hearted and indecisive. He listens and believes, and he is not a wise emperor." So he didn't want to enter the court again. I would rather be in the rivers and lakes!
Nangong Yue couldn't help thinking about what she had seen and heard in the palace these days, thinking deeply.
After all, the mourning hall is not a place to talk about for a long time. Nangong Yue gave a little blessing and said goodbye: "Young Master, please take care. I will leave first. After a few days, I will come to check your pulse again. It is time to change the method." child."
After she turned around and walked out of the mourning hall, Guan Yubai's voice suddenly came from behind: "Thank you!"
Thank you for unraveling me!
Thank you for the song you wrote for your father and the official army that day!
Thank you for saving my life!
…
Nangong Yue's footsteps paused for a moment, and she continued to walk forward without looking back, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she said silently: Welcome back!
Xiao Si ordered people to send Nangong Yue and the three master and servant away, and the surroundings became quiet again, as if the air was no longer flowing.
After a while, Guan Yubai suddenly said: "Xiao Si helped me up."
Xiaosi showed surprise on his face, knowing that the young master finally thought about it, he hurriedly took his right arm, "Young master, I have already tidied up the bedroom for you, or you can go and rest for a while."
Guan Yubai's knees were stagnant because of kneeling for a long time, and his body was a little staggering. He stretched his legs a little and said: "Xiao Si, help me to sit aside first, and then cook a bowl of porridge for me..."
"Yes, my lord!" Xiao Si answered resoundingly.
After Fuguan Yubai sat down, Xiao Si walked out of the mourning hall and ordered someone to cook porridge. When he turned around, he pointedly glanced at a century-old tree by the green brick wall, and then took it back as if nothing had happened. line of sight.
With this glance, Xiao Ying on the tree was covered in cold sweat. After Xiaosi left, Xiao Ying immediately left Yongyihou Mansion.
He glanced in the direction where Nangong Yue left, and thought: Anyway, with Xiao Leng following, and the pair of sisters who can embroider their fists and legs, Princess Yaoguang should be fine, so I should go to Zhennan Palace by myself.
Xiao Ying made a decision in the blink of an eye, and flew up like lightning, almost no one noticed that there was such a black shadow criss-crossing the green tiles on the eaves of the capital.
After a stick of incense, Xiao Ying came to Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Instead of going through the main entrance, he skillfully climbed over the wall and took a shortcut.
Xiao Yi was casually flipping through military books in the study, chatting with Cheng Yu beside him.
"I've seen the master!" Xiao Ying appeared by the window without a sound, startling Zhu Zi. Seeing that it was the dark guard, Zhu Zi retreated tactfully immediately, but Xiao Yi narrowed his peach blossom eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Yi sent Xiao Ying and Xiao Leng by Nangong Yue's side to guard Nangong Yue's safety. If nothing happened, Xiao Ying and Xiao Leng didn't need to report back and forth, so Xiao Yi's first reaction was that something happened to Nangong Yue. what is the problem.
"Master, the princess is fine, it's just..." Xiao Ying explained first, and then told Xiao Yi truthfully that Nangong Yue went to the official's mansion to express condolences today, and that she and Guan Yubai seemed to have a good relationship. He added, "And the coachman before the princess was also a man of Guan Yubai." Xiao Ying has long served Princess Yaoguang as the future mistress, and seeing someone eat the bear's heart and leopard's guts to pry her The master's corner is naturally filled with righteous indignation.
