The sky is dimming
Yue Pengju looked at the hills in the distance, the continuous shadow, the water town 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 breathed out a long breath, very relaxed No matter how unpredictable the future is, it's better to be alone than to die together
"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 hurt you all your life."
My heart is full of twists and turns, not the fear of my own fate, but the concern for my wife and children The future is unpredictable. How many hardships will their mother and son experience in the future? Looking back on his short life, from the island to Zhongjiazhuang, and then to many years of military career, all the happy times were spent with his wife Besides, what fun have you had? Seventeen sister's frown and smile, seventeen sister's light anger and thin anger, seventeen sister's gentle care... These, are you doomed to have no happiness in this life?
Love! Love!
Fortunately, she knows what love is in her life
His eyes were moist and he was crazy about it
He was no longer in a hurry to start, but only took a few soldiers close to the ground. Until the evening, when he was sure that his wife and others had left safely, he slowly set out on the road in the dark and went to Lin'an
The last day of fasting
Tian Wei knelt in front of the Empress Dowager's throne, and her legs were completely numb A maid came to help her: "princess, you should have a rest..."
She asked in a low voice, "where is Mrs. Yue?"
"Haven't come back yet."
"Go and have a look again. I'm afraid of her..."
"Tian Wei, you don't have to act!"
A voice sounded coldly, and Tianwei trembled all over with fear, and hurriedly knelt down again: "brother nine..."
Zhao Deji sat down with an inscrutable expression: "brother nine? Tianwei, are you sure I'm really your brother nine?"
Tianwei was shocked and looked up, and she saw a trace of malice flash in brother nine's eyes
Zhao Deji looked into her eyes and sneered, "Tianwei, since you returned to the south, I have always been kind to you. Why do you want to bite the hand that feeds you?"
Tian Wei was at a loss: "brother nine, what's wrong with me?"
A piece of paper rolled into a paper ball and hit her forehead heavily. Zhao Deji shouted angrily, "bitch, how dare you pretend? What do you think this is?"
Tian Wei nervously spread out the paper ball, and with a buzzing in her mind, she saw that it said: Princess Wei Xian served the Jin people in the Jin laundry, became an official prostitute, and gave birth to two more sons. What's the face of her return? Where is my face?
Her hand shook, and the paper fell to the ground. She only knew to kowtow desperately: "brother nine... It's not me... It's really not me..."
"Who are you? Besides you, who else can come back after being reduced to the kingdom of Jin? You dare to send someone to post in the streets and alleys, damaging the reputation of your mother."
"It's really not me! It's Wang Junhua... It must be Qin Hui and Wang Junhua... They both know that brother Jiu, they were also detained in the kingdom of Jin, and they know all this..."
"Their husband and wife fully advocated the return of the Empress Dowager. How could they do so? Who else but you bitch?" Zhao Deji lowered his voice and said fiercely, "it must be that you are afraid that your mother will come back and expose your background, so you start first and try to block her return..."
Tian Wei was speechless, and was surprised to realize that she had fallen into a huge conspiracy Vortex: "brother nine, what kind of background can I be exposed?"
Zhao Deji sneered and felt a letter from his arms: "look, what is this?"
Tian Wei took the letter and knelt on the ground, shivering all over as she looked She doesn't know how she finished reading this letter After reading it again, I was in a trance and stiff all over:
I am a fake princess!
It's the fake Princess Tianwei!
The real princess Tianwei has died in wuguocheng!
It turned out that Princess Wei Xian was the first to do it!
It is Wei Xian, not herself, who is afraid of being exposed!!
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 nine, am I pretending to be Tianwei? Others don't know, you should know!"
Zhao Deji sneered, "your style of behavior has changed greatly, and your temperament has changed greatly. I really don't know whether you are my sister or not. Besides, I'm also suspicious. So many people were imprisoned and couldn't escape. Why are you so lucky alone? You say, are you a liar who deliberately put the golden man back to deceive me?"
His voice and expression were fierce, and Tianwei was speechless
"How dare you deceive me?"
Tian Wei stood up slowly in his roar, slowly pulled her wide sleeve up to her arm, revealing a reddish scar, staring, Speak slowly: "In the Mid Autumn Festival when I was 11 years old, osmanthus blossomed well. I wanted to make a osmanthus sachet, so I pestered my best brother and quietly begged him to pick it for me. At that time, there were many palace maids, but I only liked this brother to pick it for me, and I had to ask him to pick it for me. Because this is what I just learned to make sachets, and this sachet was for him. My father had dozens of children, and my brother was not favored by my father at that time. He was silent all day, and only I had the most relationship with him OK That day, I saw my brother picking a lot of osmanthus, and I wanted to pick it myself, so I secretly climbed onto the branches of a osmanthus tree and fell down accidentally My brother was afraid of being scolded by his father, and he was so scared that he kept sucking the wound for me... "She still stared at the scar on her wrist, sighed low, looked up and looked directly into Zhao Deji's eyes," the front of the sachet was embroidered with the brother's name, and the back was embroidered with the word 'Beaded'... "
"Zhuozhu" 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 brother and sister. For many years, no one knew it except the two, not even their mother and concubine In front of me is Tianwei, who is like a fake one Is his favorite sister
Is his only remaining siblings in this world
He looked away and dared not look at Tianwei He never doubted Tianwei's identity, because he recognized it. However, Princess Wei Xian asked so, how to deal with it?
"Brother nine, it doesn't matter if I'm true or false Tianwei. But today, I want to remind brother nine again that Qin Hui and his wife are really the work of prisoners. Wan Wan's death, posting slander books to slander empress dowager Wei, must be done by him and his wife. Sooner or later, they will harm brother nine's country..."
He stretched out his hand to take back Princess Wei Xian's letter, and his attitude was very cold: "this matter will naturally be thoroughly investigated. The affairs of the imperial court, and women's families are not allowed to interfere in politics. Have you forgotten or really don't know this rule? I see, you don't have to stay in the Buddhist hall to pretend..."
Tian Wei knelt down and kowtowed with a sincere voice: "brother nine, after I returned from the prisoners, thanks to brother nine's vast grace and deep brotherhood, after a few years of prosperity and wealth, I'm very satisfied to be able to return to my roots in this life and return to the Song Dynasty. Please also be kind to brother nine, so that I can go to the nunnery to serve the Queen Mother's Lingpai, the ancient Buddha with green lanterns, and end my life..."
Zhao Deji didn't say anything
Tian Wei continued to kowtow: "I have another request. Please forgive Mrs. Yue for her repeated escort..."
Zhao Deji stood up abruptly, "how dare you? I haven't investigated your crime of deception yet. How dare you plead for her
Tian Wei didn't say any more, but knelt down and couldn't get up
"Where is Hua Rong? Where has she gone?"
Tianwei couldn't answer
Zhao Deji sneered, "do you think I don't know your lies? Where did you ask for a son for me? Hua Rong actually ran away!"
Tianwei was shocked and relieved. If Mrs. Yue really ran away, it would be a good thing
"Get up immediately and stay at the son-in-law's residence. Don't leave half a step without my order."
"Yes."
Panlong island
This is the first island to enter the sea The island is evergreen. Before, there was a small group of Pirates stationed on the island. Relying on a Dragon King Temple on the island in the past, it has developed and grown. Now, it has become the front-line sentry of the sea overlord King Qin facing the imperial court In recent years, facing the encirclement and suppression of Da Jin and Dongting water bandits, the imperial court has been unable to spend any more money on the water army For several years, the song water army and pirates stationed in the garrison did not invade the river To a certain extent, these old, weak, sick and disabled people, who are officials, can only get a little nourishment by relying on the help of pirates during the Spring Festival Nowadays, the atmosphere of Song Jin peace talks is all over the country, and the sailors are even lazier. There are less than 300 veterans left, symbolically stationed in a small town 70 miles in front of Panlong island
On this day, Panlong island was decorated with lanterns and decorations. The minions on the island were elated and prepared rich wine and dishes, because today was the day of King Qin's engagement Pirates didn't pay so much attention before. If you like a woman, just grab her and knock her unconscious and send her to her bridal chamber But now, unlike in the past, under the planning of Uncle Yang and Liu Wu, everything is developing in the direction of etiquette - the leader's engagement, naturally, can't be hasty
Yelv Dayong personally sent his daughter to exchange famous posts and betrothal gifts. King Qin knew the name of Yelv Dayong's daughter: Li Tinglan Yelv greatly used Xin Mu Han culture to choose such a literary name for his daughter, which King Qin simply couldn't remember And at this time, he has incarnated as Li Yuanwai. Li Tinglan is naturally Li Yuanwai's daughter, which has nothing to do with Yelv family Naturally, only king Qin and uncle Yang knew this secret. Other minions were only happy, thinking that their king married an authentic daughter, a lady of the family
Yelv, who appeared and disappeared, didn't come this time. Of course, this time, his fairy daughter only showed her back, leaving endless reverie for the minions on the island However, this time, they have seen the beautiful figure truly. She wears the exquisite clothes of a noble woman in the Central Plains, and her small feet are Ping Ting, which is the daughter of a rich family The minions secretly wondered whether there was something wrong with the king: why didn't such a beautiful woman get married right away, so what kind of marriage would it be? However, the minions were very happy to see King Qin eating and drinking this day Yes, the pirate leader mingmatchmaker is marrying Miss Qianjin. Who won't have fun?
Therefore, when Yelv left quietly with his daughter's and King Qin's niangeng wedding stickers, the minions were immersed in celebration for three consecutive days, because they not only received a large reward for each, but also found that the pirates' equipment had been upgraded to a higher level - a large number of firearms bought from the Lei family of the Wulin aristocratic family, fully armed with cruisers
