Chapter 172: Ashes

"It's a mistake. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoRecently, I have been learning to play chess hard, forgetting to sleep and eating, and my mood is already irritable, and I accidentally bumped into Brother Si Zhan. Zheng Siying spread her hands helplessly, "You know, the Zheng family has a lot of rules." The upper and lower are respectful and inferior, men and women, and all of them are drawn by iron ring rulers. I didn't care about the brother who bumped into Si Zhan, but I was added to the vinegar by someone in the house, so I became arrogant and arrogant, and the woman's morality was not good. I had to hide from Qingjing. ”

"Study hard to play chess, forget to sleep and eat?" Xin Yi laughed teasingly, "I really picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelon." Do you want to be a female chess doctor and compete with chess boys?"

Zheng Siying's eyes flashed, and she glanced at Xin Yi meaningfully: "It's not that it's superior, it's just that you can see it in his eyes, I'm afraid it's only a secondary chess." ”

Xin Yi didn't notice anything unusual. In the world of chess, she is delicate in every step, but in the Fengyue game, she is blind in the black light.

To anticipate something, to hear something, she is too bad at it, and too slow.

"He's a chess maniac, you're a chess idiot. No one can say good things about anyone. Xin Yi giggled, and the autumn water rippled in her pupils, adding a bit of dexterity and freshness to her beautiful eyebrows.

Zheng Siying's eyes gradually sank, but the smile was the same as before: "Don't joke, my daughter's family will get married after all." Now that you don't have the marriage contract of your eldest grandson, do you have any other plans?"

Xin Yi's heart suddenly crossed a figure, but it was only for an instant, and it became cold. She waved her hand as if she didn't care, "What can I do?" This is not something that can be obtained by playing chess. ”

Zheng Siying wanted to say something, but she heard the sound of the old nun's wooden fish in the Buddhist hall stopped abruptly, and after a while, there was a creaking sound of the firewood door of the nunnery closing.

The candle shadow of the Buddha hall is swaying, and the Bodhisattva is compassionate. In the end, the nun turned off the lights, and the entire Ganye Temple fell into silence.

The old nun replied. There is no one awake in this temple. Zheng Siying smiled affectionately again and pushed Xin Yi, "Don't you have to go to the back mountain at this hour every day?" I'll go back and rest first. ”

As she spoke, Zheng Siying brushed her skirt and got up, and went back to the nunnery very interestingly, and didn't ask Xin Yi much for half a sentence.

"Thank you. Xin Yi called at Zheng Siying's back, and confirmed that she was the only one awake in the temple at this moment, so she stepped on the moonlight alone and went to the mountain behind the temple.

The night behind the mountain is deep, the moonlight covers the black forest, the cry of the gnats is brighter than the other, the four sides are quiet, only the sound of Xin Yi's embroidered shoes stepping on the fallen leaves is heard.

Xin Yi came to the top of a mountain, where the forest came to an end, and the empty stone land was brightly reflected by the moonlight. As far as the eye can see, you can see Chang'an City sleeping in the moonlight.

Xin Yi raised his eyes and looked at Mingyue, bowed down in his skirt, folded his hands, and muttered: "May God bless, little brother is peaceful, and the danger is turned into a disaster." ”

There is a custom of women worshipping the moon in Dawei. Pray for relatives and friends, or pray for your own safety. Before worshipping the moon and leaving the hall, the dark spirit was deep and the bow was not introduced. The moon worship is not emotional, the wind in front of the court is clear, and the moon is old for people.

Xin Yi was actually praying for Xin Bai.

Because the stakes are very high, and it is the autumn of wind and rain, in order to ensure that it is thorough, Xin Yi can only secretly come to the mountain to worship the moon in the dead of night.

Since it was said that the mastermind behind the Lu family had been found out, the emperor came to block the news again and secretly interrogate him. Everything made Xin Yi uneasy. It's not because the turmoil is coming, but her intuition is getting stronger and stronger: it is related to Xin Bai.

Xin Bai has a great relationship with the Lu family, she knows it. But more, she didn't dare to think about it, she didn't dare to think about the most likely outcome at all. drove the Lu family to plot a major rebellion, and she knew what the end would be.

What's more, a long-time mystery, a game hidden in Xinfu, will soon reveal the mystery. She thought she wanted to know in every possible way, but at the end of the day, she realized that she was so afraid of the truth.

No matter how Xin Bai treated her in the past, he didn't really do anything in the end. If she can't go back to the past, she doesn't want to wrap her body in a straw mat. Whether it is the truth or the butcher's knife of Daming Palace, she wants Xin Bai to survive.

Even if it's blindfolded pretending to be confused, even if it's the most cheesy moon worship and blessing.

"Xin Fang and Xin Ling are gone, the eldest grandson Yulong's bones are not cold, and too many people have made sacrifices for this game of chess. Enough is enough, really enough. Xin Yi looked at Mingyue reverently and whispered mournfully, "Love or hate, sin or debt, it's okay, at least the fetters and entanglements are not broken." God, please open your eyes. How many more people are you going to die in this game of chess?"

The moon is bright and clear. Won't answer Xin Yi.

Chang'an fell into a dream, the sky was ruthless, and he would not answer Xin Yi.

However, a deep male voice answered: "God has no eyes, so why can't he open his eyes." ”

Xin Yi's eyes flashed, but it was only for an instant, and he returned to normal: "This is a nunnery, and it is not stained with red dust." Your Excellency came late at night, just because it was a shadow guard. ”

A gust of wind blew, and a man dressed in black appeared behind Xin Yi, he clasped his fists with both hands, and waved at the woman: "In Xia Lu Jiayingwei: Shadow Eight." ”

Xin Yi hooked his lips angrily: "Lu Huan is gone, the Lu family is gone, the shadow guards of the Lu family are all following their masters, and they are loyal to death." Where is the Lu family shadow guard left. ”

Shadow Eight's voice continued to come without fluctuation: "Shadow Eight was originally loyal to Miss Lu Jin. After the eldest lady was gone, she was sent to General Lu Huan. Strictly speaking, it is not a general's shadow guard. So the general is gone, and the self-suicide rules of the Lu family shadow guard should not be on my head. Therefore, he left a life, and was entrusted by the general to find the Xinyi girl and complete the general's last order. ”

"I was originally a two-headed house slave, and I was selected by Lu Huan before I was selected by Lu Huan, what last words do you want to give me?" Xin Yi slowly got up and looked back at the shadow guard.

Shadow Eight kept a salute, bowing his head very respectfully: "The general only left one sentence: Ask Miss Xinyi, do you remember the agreement back then? If you still remember, give this to her." If you don't remember, just throw this away. ”

Shadow Eight cherished a box from his bosom and opened the lid of the box, revealing a porcelain pot inside, exuding a strange cold ghostly aura.

Ashes. The pot contained the ashes of the bones left behind by the burning of the corpses.

This is extremely rare in Great Wei. Everyone believes that when they go to Elysium after death, they are buried in the dirt, and there are very few or no active incinerations of corpses.

Xin Yi was stunned for a moment. I only heard the voice of Ying Ba faintly: "After the general committed suicide, his head was taken away by Li Jingting. It took Shadow Eight months to steal the general's head from the palace, and then burn the general's body to ashes with it. This is part of the general's will: not to be buried, not to go to bliss, but to be burned and the heavens and the earth scatter ashes. Since then, he has been a ghost and a hero, fighting with a sword and riding horses in Kyushu, guarding the frontier of my Great Wei Dynasty!"

Ying Ba raised the urn above his head and handed it to Xin Yi, but his hand was very unstable, and the lid of the pot rattled: "The general also said that this porcelain pot is all up to the girl." Although the general's last wish is so, it is okay for the girl not to listen, and it is okay to sprinkle the ashes in the cowshed. Under the full authority sent by the girl, there is no disobedience. ”
