Xie Yifeng's expression stiffened. He felt like blood was poured into a bucket of cold water. His mouth moved, but he didn't dare say anything.
Candle shadow axe sound?!Is it that the official language Bai is afraid that at this time the "yellow robe plus body" is not correct, and its reputation is questioned by the world and debated by future generations?!
Not impossible...
Hey, if the official language Bai is as arrogant as Xiao Shizi, and not in the view of unexpected people, then things are much easier!
It's a pity that both the official Ruyan and the official Bai are modest gentlemen, but they don't understand that gentlemen are not good...
Xie Yifeng frowned slightly, then listened to the official language and said lukewarmly: "Xie Yifeng, this prince still has important tasks. If you are fine, just retreat."
Xie Yifeng was willing to return without success and wanted to persuade him again, but in the end it was silent.
No more quick success!
He said to himself in his heart that the thing about the Prince Xiye was that he was eager to make quick gains. Not only did he not get the trust of the official language as expected, but he also alienated himself from the official language.
Nowadays, there are a lot of talents under the official Chinese language, and you can't be wrong again and again!
Xie Yifeng finally retreated in a respectful manner.
When he came out of the Imperial Study Room, he walked forward reluctantly, carefully reviewing the words he had just said, and said that he spoke very comprehensively. Like today's time is right and harmonious, why the official language is white and forward looking, What excuse is the "sound of candlesticks and axe", just refuse to stand on your own as a king?!
and many more!
Xie Yifeng stopped suddenly, his eyes flashed in a flash of light, suddenly realized.
He is so stupid!
According to the allusion of "Candle Shadow Axe", since the official Mandarin Bai said these four words, it means that he was excited about the Xiye throne, but there are still concerns...or that he does not trust himself!
Also, after all, it has been nine years since I left the Guanjiajun!
Nine years are enough to make a person turn upside down. Nine years are enough to make a once powerful country now fall under the iron hooves of the official language Bai and the southern Xinjiang army. The variables of the nine years are too big...
If he wants to win the trust of the official language Bai again, and wants to build momentum for the official language Bai, he must first make a contribution and must do the next convincing errand.
But now the overall situation of Xiye is almost fixed, how can he make a contribution?!
Xie Yifeng walked forward in a sudden, and I didn't know when he came to a big tree again, punching hard on the trunk.
The thick trunk of the bowl suddenly trembles violently, so the crown of the tree sways "swiftly", and the leaves fall down like a rain...
At this moment, only a slightly familiar male voice came from above: "Old Xie, what's so hot?! Don't rush into the tree if you have fire!"
Xie Yifeng stiffened and looked up. He saw a young man in his twenties in grey clothes lying on his back on a branch that was a few feet above the ground. He looked down at Xie Yifeng lazily.
"Fashion, it turned out to be you." Xie Yifeng smiled and smiled.
The wind jumped lightly from the tree, quietly when landing.He raised Xie Yifeng with his shoulders, and said with a hippie smile: "Old Xie, I see you just got out of Yushu Study. Could it be that you got angry with your son?!"
Hearing this sentence, Xie Yifeng was terrified and hurriedly denied: "Fashion, don't talk nonsense!"
Feng Xing shrugged indifferently, revealing a smile of "you and I know the heart", he touched his chin and said: "Old thanks, our years of affection, I tell you the truth, this is definitely you wrong."
Xie Yifeng suddenly ignited a cluster of flames. How did he not know that the people of Primary Four and Fengxing all seemed to be in the Mandarin of Gu, no matter what the Mandarin said, they might think that the son is right .
But Xie Yifeng didn't dare to show anything on his face. He was about to respond, but he heard the popular saying: "I say old Xie, don't feel dissatisfied."
Feng Xing said while picking a leaf at random, blowing a tone on his mouth, it seemed not very satisfied, and he lost it, picked another one, and continued: "You don’t want to think about what day it is ............The son is in a bad mood recently! How far do I hide without seeing how far I am?!"
Xie Yifeng was startled, his eyes narrowed, and he soon frowned as he thought of something.Is it...
Seeing him understand, Feng Xing patted the leaves on his body and said, "Since you understand, go wherever you go and don't delay me taking a nap."
Before the words were finished, Fengxing had flexibly climbed up to the tree again, holding the leaves and blowing up his minor key, leaving Xie Yifeng standing in a daze for half a half.
The bright sunshine in spring sprinkled on Xie Yifeng's beard-stained face through the gap between branches and leaves, forming a strange light and shadow, which made his expression obscure.
Perhaps, he can make a contribution with this!
Xie Yifeng narrowed his eyes slightly, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
The spring breeze is slow, even in the spring, the west night is still yellow sand flying, unlike the spring and rain like Wangdu and southern Xinjiang.
Guanyu Bai is still the busiest person in this western night. The lights of Yushu Study often have to be burned until midnight to turn off...
On March 29, on this day, Mandarin Bai rarely did not stay in the Imperial Study.
In a courtyard in the southeast corner of the West Night Palace, a big mahogany carving has been set up.In the big case, a brand and medicinal snacks and other sacrifices were displayed.
All this is arranged by Mandarin Bai himself.
Since the Western Night Palace was captured, most of this palace has been abandoned, and this courtyard is no exception.
The surrounding branches and leaves of the flower clusters were left unattended, and the fallen leaves and dust were left unattended.
The official language lighted the candle, and after being incense, he immediately knelt down on the ground.
Xiao Si stood not far away, looked at him quietly, expressionless, and a slight sorrow came out of his eyes.
In the courtyard, there was no noise, only the sound of candlelight jumping in the wind, and the smell of incense candles scattered around with the wind...
I don't know how long it has passed. The sound of fallen leaves being trampled suddenly came from behind. Although it is extremely subtle, it can't conceal the ears of Xiao Si.
Xie Yifeng stopped at a distance of less than ten steps from Primary Four, and said in a deep voice: "I remember my wife's birthmark today?! I want to give my wife a few heads in the past."
Primary 4 didn't say anything, just the side of the body, it was a way out.
Xie Yifeng slowly walked behind Guanyu Bai, looking at the thin and thin back of Guanyu Bai. From the back view, he could hardly recognize that this was the blood-stained official major general in West Xinjiang that year. .
Guan Yubai didn't move, Xie Yifeng didn't know whether he noticed his arrival. After hesitating for a moment, he knelt directly to the right rear of Guanyu Bai, and then respectfully knocked three times in the direction of the card. .
Xie Yifeng looked at the card on the desk, his eyes dark and dark.
On March 29th, everyone in the Guanjiajun Army knew this day, this was the birthday of his wife. Once on this day every year in Xijiang, Guan Ruyan would accompany his wife in the general’s palace, this day, unless it was No one will go to the General's House for a hundred thousand hot military situation...
At that time, scenes in West Xinjiang quickly flashed through his mind. Sometimes, Xie Yifeng couldn't help but think, if the emperor is as powerful as the first emperor, whether the official army will not go to that point, himself You will not be forced to choose another lord!
Xie Yifeng knelt for a long, long time before he said: "Major General, this ground is cold, you must pay attention to your body, otherwise the lady will not rest in the spirit of heaven!"
Mandarin Bai still knelt there motionlessly, silently.
Xie Yifeng took a deep breath and finally made up his mind and slowly said: "Major General, maybe the general will be able to find the wife's bones."
This time, Mandarin Bai finally responded slightly, his thin back slightly trembling, and looked up at the card on the desk.
Xie Yifeng's heartbeat swelled, and the sound of muttering in the official language Bai seemed to be broken in the wind: "In those days, I knew I couldn't persuade my father, so I had to settle my mother first, and then go to the capital with my father. ...But after that, both the father and the uncle died, and the mother died of martyrdom. At that time, I was still a prisoner in the next stage and was trapped in the prison. When I got out of the trap, my mother's bones had disappeared..."
Xie Yifeng in the rear secretly relieved his breath and continued: "Major General, if he could make his wife and generals buried together..."
His voice hadn't fallen yet, and a strong wind suddenly blew, and the two clusters of candlelights on the case jumped frantically, and then went out, leaving only two thin strands of blue smoke floating...
Xie Yifeng just felt cold in his heart, and the hair behind him counted down.He took a deep breath and immediately settled.What kind of ghosts and gods the world believes and what kind of reincarnation they believe in. These people who are accustomed to life and death and life in the sand field are unbelievers. If there is a God, why should the official family be like this!
Guan Yubai's gaze stayed on the extinguished candle wick for a moment, then finally stood up slowly.
He turned and looked at Xie Yifeng. Those warm eyes looked calm and calm at first, but they seemed to have the power to see through people's hearts.
Xie Yifeng hurriedly said: "Major General, the general will always remember the general and his wife for many years. It is very anxious to learn that the bones of his wife have not been found. So, the general will always find ways to inquire... not until recently. After hearing some news, I wanted to wait for the confirmation before telling the major general, so that the major general would not have a happy time..."
With that, Xie Yifeng's eyes were already red, and his tears flashed.
He took a deep breath and settled down before he continued: "Today is the wife's birthmark, and it will really be unable to suppress the sorrow in his heart, so he hastily opened his mouth..."
The official white lips were light-hearted, and he looked at Xie Yifeng in a daze, seeming to be in a trance for a moment. After a moment, his eyes again had focus, and he said slowly and almost hard: "Where is the mother's remains?" "
Xie Yifeng clenched his fists and replied: "Returning to Major General, it's on the outskirts of the emerald city in the west and east..."
Wen Yan, Guan Yubai's double fists were tightly clenched into fists, and the back of the white hand was bulging with green tendons, and the pupils were irresistible.
Su Yu, he said decisively: "We will start tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, Major General." Xie Yifeng hurriedly clenched his fist to lead his life, secretly happy: he finally got it right this time.Guanyu Bai is a filial son, and has always been rewarded and punished. This time, as long as he can find the wife's remains, Guanyu Bai will surely write down his credit.
In the future, he will surely become his confidant!
"Major General, then he will go back first to prepare." Xie Yifeng suppressed the joy in his heart and turned back.
Mandarin Bai still stood at the same place, and the little four always accompanied him quietly, silently.
Another breeze blew, blowing up the fallen leaves, flying around the corners of the master and servant's robe...
The deserted courtyard seems to be more and more slack...
Early the next morning, the sky was bright, and the official Mandarin Bai, Xie Yifeng, Si Rin, Xiaosi, and Fengxing five people drove their horses from the east gate of the west night capital, all the way to the east.
The horse's hoof flew, galloping all the way, and after rushing for two days, the horse came to the emerald city.
Leading the way by Xie Yifeng, a group of people went all the way to the eastern suburbs of Emerald City.
After the defeat of the army of Xiyedongjing in Tiehai, they were quickly captured by Yao Lianghang and Han Huaijun. Nowadays, Dongjing is full of depressions, and you can hardly see Xiyeren walking outside on the road... The farther away from the Emerald City, the nearby is The more desolate, and I don't know how long it passed, I vaguely saw a mass grave, even if it was hundreds of feet apart, I could vaguely see the tombstones on the hills...
They gradually approached the mass grave, as if the air nearby was a lot colder, and the sky above it was unknown when the clouds were rolling, and the surrounding atmosphere became more eerie and gloomy.
The crowd abandoned the horse and walked at the foot of the mountain.
The burial post was originally the tomb of the lonely soul and wild ghosts. Naturally, there was no road construction, and there were only a few muddy paths that the corpse-blowers came out from year to year.
At dusk, the misty mist filled the surroundings like a gauze. The eyes were all tombstones with uneven heights, and from time to time, you could see sections of bones scattered randomly in the mud.
On the hills, cold winds blew on the old pine tree, which made the sound of "guichi", like something hiding in a dark corner and whispering.
However, the official Mandarin Bai people did not get any impression at all. They had seen more brutal corpses and blood drifting on the battlefield.They used to collect corpses and dig graves for their comrades in person... For them, this burial place is just a place to stay after death!
It was surprisingly quiet all around, only the sound of their shoes stepping on the gravel and the residual leaves seemed to have amplified their breath...
When they reached the middle of the mountain, Xie Yifeng stopped suddenly, looked around for half a circle, and said in a deep voice:
"At that time, the major general arranged for the man to escort his wife to Fengji City, but later the wife lost track of a dozen miles away from Fengji City... So, I will explore all the way and spend a lot of time to finally find out The wife was captured there by a group of Xi Yejun. At that time, the general Naxi wanted to catch his wife and return to Xiye Wang to humiliate the general and the major general, but the lady was soft outside and indifferent. That's it! The body was left on the side of the road at that time, or the Xiye people nearby accidentally picked up the body and buried it on this mass grave..."
At this moment, even the usual laughter and scolding on the popular face had no smile, his eyes were red, and there was a sense of outrage between them.
Xie Yifeng pointed his finger to the front right and said again: "Major General, the last general has already inquired. Some of the bodies that were thrown into the burial post nine years ago should be near that piece..."
In the direction he pointed, you can see a vigorous old pine on the top of the mountain, lush and lush, winding up, looking dim in the faint mist.
Against the gloomy surroundings, the white eyes of the official language became deeper and deeper, and no abnormalities could be seen on his face.
The more calm the official language Bai, the more worried they are, Si Lin and Xiao Si.
Si Rin gave a command, and a few people took out the shovel, iron hoe, etc. prepared in advance, and took the old pine as the center to act separately.
There are not many tombstones around, but there are many raised grave heads, most of which are unnamed corpses.Avoid those with tombstones and those new tombs where the soil is too wet. After several people did not plan for a while, several bones were dug in succession, men's, young children's, old people's, apparently incompatible...most The bones were all eliminated immediately.
Unconsciously, the surroundings gradually darkened, and the temperature dropped accordingly, as if returning to the severe winter.
Xiao Si hurriedly put on a cloak for Mandarin, and at the same time, several oil lamps lit up one after another, and the orange fire light jumped, like the same cluster of ghost fires on this gloomy burial post...
Mandarin Bai has not left, other people are aspiring to dig together, digging one after another... With the depth of the night, there are more and more pits around, the stars in the night sky are covered by dark clouds, only A faint silver moon looked down...
This is a long night, every time hope is ignited, and every time we are disappointed...
The moon faded away, and chicken sounds came from afar, symbolizing the beginning of a new day.
The sky was white again, and suddenly Xie Yifeng cried out excitedly: "Jade bracelet, this jade bracelet..."
This messy sentence caused Si Rin, Xiao Si and Feng Xing to quickly throw away the utensils in their hands and surrounded them with Mandarin.
After a busy night, Xie Yifeng was already sweating a lot, and there was a lot of dirt on his black-faced face, which seemed to be embarrassed.A three-foot pothole was dug in front of him, and a bone-bone wrist was visible at the bottom of the pothole, wearing a jade bracelet...
Standing in front of the pothole, Guanyu Bai stared at the bone of his hand, which had no flesh and blood, and the jade bracelet on it was buried in the soil for many years, making it green and fat, reflected deeply in the official. Yu Bai's pupils.
This emerald green is so familiar to him...
This is the birthday gift he gave to his mother when he was ten years old, and his mother always wore it on her hands.
Even nine years apart, he will never forget!
Mandarin Bai suddenly knelt on the ground, turning the emerald bracelet carefully, his long fingers trembling.
Little by little...
Soon, a thin crack on the jade bracelet entered his vision.
That's right, this is the bracelet he gave to his mother!
Just the day after he gave the jade bracelet to his mother, a shot of Ruya shot towards his mother, and he immediately flung the mother away, but Ruiya brushed it from the mother's wrist, but fortunately, he did not hurt the mother, but in this jade There was a crack on the bracelet...
At that time, he was annoyed and wanted to send his mother a jade bracelet again, but his mother smiled gently at him and said that the jade bracelet he gave her blessed her!She will wear it on her hand forever!
The mother’s gentle and loving smile seemed to have a fresh memory, however, now only a pale bone and this jade bracelet were left.
The white eyes of the official language are slightly sullen, and the eyes are as deep as the bottomless abyss that is bottomless, staring at the crack on the jade bracelet that is less than an inch long.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, the air stagnate, the temperature around him suddenly became cold, and it became cold inside...
In the next moment, the official language Bai suddenly moved again, and he dug down directly with his hands, again and again... He was expressionless, however, the rapid movement of the dirt with his ten fingers has already revealed the waves of his heart. Ups and downs, crazy and cautious with a hint of care, seems to be afraid of hurting the white bones...
No one advised him, and no one stopped him, this must be done by himself!
Si Rin, Xiao Si and Feng Xing all looked silently at the Mandarin, watched his sturdy back like a cypress, watched his nails crack open accidentally, watched his fingertips ooze bloodshot...
For a moment, Si Rin almost thought that the official language was crying, but when he looked at it again, he was still the official language that was tough even if the official family was destroyed, even if the official family was wronged!
Probably, Yu Bai's tears have long since dried up.
The dead bone buried under the soil was exposed a little bit, from the wrist to the upper arm to the body to the head...
