With the setting sun completely set and the night came, the midsummer night was quiet and distant in the sound of insects.
On the moon when willow slightly head, the brightly lit post station ushered in an unexpected guest.
"Ah Xin!"
Xiao Yi waved to the blue robed youth who was brought into the room by bamboo.
Xiao Yi's smile and expression are the same as before.
However, Nangong Xin can not be as calm as Xiao Yi. It is only two years since he went to Nanjiang last time. It seems that it has been a long time ago for him, just like passing away.
Nangong Xin of course heard that Zhennan Wangfu had captured Baiyue, Nanliang and Xiye. Looking at Xiao Yi and Guan yubai's eyes, it was inevitable that some people would worry about the northern expedition of Zhennan Wangfu, but nangongxin knew that his brother-in-law would not.
Xiao Yi, whom he knew, disdained to do so!
"Yi, marquis." After seeing the ceremony, Nangong Xin sat down beside them.
Xiao Yi pours tea for nangongxin in person. His tone is as intimate as ever, and it seems that he never leaves.
"Ah Xin, you're here just in time. I'd like to send someone to ask you to come over for a talk tomorrow." With that, Xiao Yi made a gesture, and bamboo took out a drawing scroll and presented it to Nangong Xin, "this is what he specially asked me to bring to you and liuniang."
Nangong Xin takes over the scroll with a trace of doubt, and then opens it. His eyes are attracted by the painting on the drawing paper and can't move his eyes.
On the beige rice paper, a baby with a cat's ear cap and a small blue dress is painted. The baby is rolling on the carpet with a chubby orange cat in her arms. Her mouth is cocked up with a smile, and her eyes are like a new moon
Both the baby and the orange cat in his arms are so vivid, delicate and vivid.
It was painted by my sister.
The baby baby in this painting seems to have a magical rendering power. The corners of Nangong Xin's mouth can't help but curl up and blurt out: "this Is this brother Yu? " Yu elder brother son all so big! He hasn't seen his little nephew with his own eyes
As soon as Nangong Xin stares at the painting on his hand, Xiao Yi knows that his son-in-law has won over his uncle without any effort.
This painting was painted by Nangong Yue after he knew he was coming to Wangdu. He wanted Nangong Xin and Fu Yunyan to see Xiao Yu.
"Ah Xin, would you like to meet that smelly boy in my house?" Xiao Yi looks at Nangong Xin and doesn't answer the question.
Nangong Xin is stunned. She looks up at Xiao Yi and thinks deeply. Does Yi want to avoid going to southern Xinjiang?
Xiao Yi does not avoid the four eyes with Nangong Xin, which is equivalent to affirming Nangong Xin's question.
Nangong Xin shook his head without hesitation, and said slowly, "Yi, I want to stay in Wangdu."
Nangong Xin's expression was gentle and firm. After a pause, he continued: "anyway, the rest of the family have fled to the south of the Yangtze River. Liuniang is protected by yongyang's grandmother, so I'll stay in Wangdu to help the governor..."
Although the emperor issued an imperial edict to make Han Lingfan the crown prince, all the people present knew that the emperor was not the emperor at that time. Even if the prince was established, he could be abolished.
He and Han Lingfan are both monarchs and courtiers as well as intimate friends. No matter how hard the future is, he can't just leave
Nangong Xin seems to be gentle, but he has his own persistence, just like his own ayue. Xiao Yi's mouth is tinged with a smile. He has long guessed that Nangong Xin will not leave Wangdu easily. However, he is not too surprised and does not intend to force him.
Xiao Yi patted Nangong Xin on the shoulder and said, "ah Xin, since you have made up your mind, I will not advise you any more. But "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." you have to be prepared
Then, Xiao Yi told Nangong Xin about his men and bases in the capital one by one, and finally told him, "ah Xin, if there is any accident in the future, you should go to Fengyin restaurant in Wangdu South Street, where the shopkeeper will protect your family to go to southern Xinjiang!"
Nangong Xin looks at Xiao Yi deeply, and his mood rises and falls. He wants to thank him, but he feels that the word "thank you" is too thin.
He picked up the tea cup in front of him, drank the warm tea water in one gulp, and looked at Xiao Yi with a smile.
Tea instead of wine, everything in silence
As the night grew deeper, Nangong Xin came and went quietly under the escort of yongyang Princess mansion, and took only one picture.
A crescent moon looks down upon all living beings in the night sky.
When the silver moon faded and the sun began to rise, all around the post station also came to life. The three thousand you riding camp was immediately equipped and on standby. Under the leadership of Xiao Yi and Guan yubai, the two eagles, one gray and one white, soared to the West.
Dozens of royal guards guarding the post station sighed with relief when they saw Xiao Yi and his party leaving for the west hill.
Most people can't help but wonder again:
is it true that Xiao Yi and Guan yubai went all the way to the north, not to mean the capital of the king, but only for the bones of the general who was the official like flame?!Soon, one of the royal guards rode out to report to Wangdu.
Xiao Yi and Guan yubai didn't care about these things at all. They took 3000 Youqi camp to the foot of the west mountain.
The originally empty Xishan hillock suddenly became a little crowded because of their arrival. A black crow standing on the branches started with a strange cry, and was chased by the two eagles and ran away in a panic, which made the original atmosphere of people here more active.
Three thousand you riding camp is waiting at the foot of the mountain. Guan yubai and Xiao Yi only take some old officials to the mountain.
The old bureaucrats scattered handfuls of white paper money into the air in silence. The paper money was flying wildly with the mountain wind, just like a goose feather snow suddenly falling in the midsummer
The temperature all around seemed to drop a lot.
All the way was silence.
In this dignified atmosphere, everyone can not help but be awe stricken and walk firmly on the narrow mountain road.
In the silence all the way, they came to the top of the west hill, and came to the tombstone of the official.
It was four years ago that Xiao Yi and nangongyue came here to sweep the tomb of Guan Ruyan. In that year, after LV Wenzhuo had subdued the law, Guan yubai personally engraved characters for Guan Ruyan and the whole row of wordless tombstones. Countless kings and surrounding people came to worship Guan Ruyan
It's been four years!
These tombstones are still standing here as they were then, as spotless as they were then. The paint on the lines of the inscriptions is as bright as ever
It's as if the years have stopped here.
Yes, their years have been stagnant.
A line of more than ten people stood quietly in front of these tombstones, silently missing these old friends buried in the earth.
Death like silence spread, only the rustle of the mountain wind blowing branches and leaves, as if the dead sigh
Sound never stops!
Everyone's eyes are red and wet, and everyone is trying to hold back the tears
On the contrary, the official language is the most peaceful. A pair of eyes are as deep as dark night, as if to absorb the spirit of human beings. A loose white dress is made hunting sound by the wind
Also do not know how long, the official language white suddenly back a step, voice way: "start!"
Three words are light, but it seems that he has exhausted the strength of his whole body
small four, popular and other official families were all carrying the spade and iron hoe forward, the gravestone gravestone was removed, and the loess was excavated with a spade and a spade.
The official language white does not blink to look at, as if to engrave this scene profoundly in the mind general.
One spade after another, one after another, just like digging the hard healed scar on Guan yubai's body again and breaking the hard to grow bone again
Everyone felt the pain and tightness in their hearts, as if each spade and hoe were pounding on their hearts like a heavy hammer.
More and more excavated loess piles, a black coffin gradually exposed under the Loess outline, this is the coffin of official flame.
The excavation of some old bureaucrats slowed down, and their eyes turned red again. Many memories of the past flashed through their minds
They are going to take the bones of the general to be reunited with his wife.
They also want to take away the bones of the officers and deputies, Liu and Yang Xiaowei, so as not to leave them alone in the ghost place of Wangdu!
The tombs on the top of the mountain were dug up one by one, and the coffins stained with soil were lifted out of the graves one by one, and then the two old men carried one by one, and the fish ran down
The white paper money again sprinkled the ground in the air, paving the road into a piece of snow white, the sky did not know when the gloomy down, let people's mood more depressed.
Rows of coffins were put on the carts and fixed with ropes. At the command of Xiao Yi, these coffins were escorted by 3000 Youqi camp and returned to the post station.
Not far away, another royal guard rode his horse to Wangdu
"Shiziye..." A little general of Youqi camp whispered in Xiao Yi's ear.
Xiao Yi teased his lips and made a gesture to show that he knew.
He took a casual look in the direction of Wangdu, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
I hope the emperor will not let him down this time!
Thousands of horses' hooves roared away, but the royal guards, who were all alone, galloped back to Wangdu as quickly as possible, as if someone was chasing behind them
Half an hour later, Lu Huaining, commander of the royal guards, went into the palace to see the emperor.
In the imperial library, after Lu Huaining reported what had happened on the Xishan hill, the emperor could not calm down for a long time. After a few nights' sleep, the emperor's eyes were deeply sunken and haggard.
Every news from the royal guards just made the emperor more and more upset, nervous and anxious
The emperor frowned and couldn't help but blurt out: "are they just going back to the post station?"So with the coffin of the official flame back to the post station?
No other action?
Lu Huaining lowered his head and Gong claimed "yes".
At this time, a light walking sound came, Han lingfu personally holding a cup of herbal tea came over, "father, your tranquilizing tea."
Han lingfu respectfully presented the medicinal tea to the emperor, so that the emperor suddenly regained his mind.
Or Xiaosan filial piety! The emperor thought with emotion in his mind. Han lingfu and Han Lingfan returned to the Palace last night. Xiao Yi said, "it's a pity that the Emperor didn't come today."
This sentence repeatedly echoed in the emperor's mind all night, again and again
What do Xiao Yi and Guan yubai want to do?!
They don't really want him to come out of the city to meet them?!
Thinking about it, the emperor felt ridiculous.
However, since they came for the official coffin, why didn't they leave quickly?!
What the hell are they waiting for?!
Is there anything that Zhennan Wang wants Xiao Yi to tell himself?
If he doesn't go to see Xiao Yi, will Xiao Yi try to get into the palace to see himself?!
The emperor thought more and more uneasy, Huo Di got up and walked back and forth in the imperial library
There is a saying that it is easier to ask God than to send God.
I must send these two plagues away as soon as possible!
We must turn passivity into initiative
The emperor's steps finally came to a standstill. A decisive flash flashed in his eyes and said, "Lu Huaining, pass on my order..."
The emperor's voice echoed in the huge imperial library, and the air became dignified. Han lingfu's eyes were half down, staring at the steaming medicinal tea on the imperial table, and his eyes twinkled
A room of monarch, minister, father and son have their own thoughts, which makes the atmosphere in the imperial study vaguely and strangely.
Another long day passed in the blink of an eye, and the next morning, the sky was still dim, but Wang Du suddenly woke up in the noise.
Thousands of royal forest troops were sent out in a mighty way. The roads were closed, the accompanying people, the guards
In a state of no warning, the emperor's Royal escort was sent out, and the whole king was shocked.
Of course, the ordinary people did not know what the emperor was doing, but the courtiers and nobles who paid close attention to every move in the court hall and the palace knew exactly why the emperor was traveling
Xiao Yi, the prince's son of Zhennan, and yubai, the Marquis of ease, arrived at the post station ten miles away from the capital last night. It was unheard of that the emperor condescended to meet each other in person.
The sound of mourning from the government could not reach the emperor's ears. The powerful imperial guards poured out from the south gate and went all the way to the post station in the southern and eastern suburbs
A carrier pigeon was flying over the clear sky, fluttering over the top of the Imperial Army, but no one cared.
With the rising sun, the sky became more and more bright.
On this day, the sun was shining, but the mood of Yi Cheng in this small post station was not bright.
First of all, the prince of Zhennan and the prince of ease came, and now even the emperor came.
I'm afraid that they would never see the emperor in their whole life, but now they have to see the face of heaven, but they just feel scared.
The Yulin army and the southern Xinjiang army won't fight, will they?!
If it turns into a battlefield, they'll have to explain it here?!
Watching the three thousand Southern Xinjiang army and the five thousand royal forest army forming two square arrays, a few post Chengs were only beating drums and sweating like rain.
Xiao Yi and Bai, the official language, walked out of the post station slowly. Naturally, they saw the emperor sitting on the imperial carriage and Han Lingfan and Han lingfu on both sides.
The emperor's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yi and Guan Yu Bai. His right hand was clenched tightly into a fist. If it was possible, the emperor would like to order the two rebellious ministers to be pierced with thousands of arrows at once!
But he couldn't. He could only watch the two walk towards him Until the two sides are less than ten feet apart, Lu Huaining stepped forward and stopped the way, looking like "you can't disturb the emperor.".
Xiao Yi did not come forward, looking at the emperor not far away.
"The emperor has come to see you off. We are really flattered." Xiao Yi smiles and says in a loud voice.
There was not a trace of the so-called "flattered" on his face. From his words and deeds, he could not feel any respect for the heavenly family.
Even in the face of the emperor, he and the official language Bai did not kneel down, did not salute, did not call themselves "ministers.".
Obviously, in the eyes of both of them, they are no longer the ministers of Dayu.
The emperor's face was livid, and his sharp eyes were staring at Xiao Yi. He felt that Xiao Yi slapped him in the face in full view of the public, which made his face hurt.
Xiao Yi didn't care. Anyway, he was used to being hated by others. If he put everything in his heart, he would be sleepless at night!Xiao Yi continued in a high voice with an unabashed sneer in his eyes: "the emperor is really interested in sending spirits to the general of the government."
Send the spirit to an official like a flame?! The emperor is stupid. Who said that he came here to send the spirit to the official like flame, and the official was just a criminal minister. What qualifications should he have to let the emperor send the spirit for him!
The emperor's pupils were filled with waves, and his anger was about to break out. However, there was something about Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi casually made a gesture, and a boy in green behind him handed three sticks of incense to Lu Huaining, and the cigarette curled
Naturally, these three incense sticks are not for Lu Huaining, but for the emperor!
