Chapter 1166: City of Darkness
The twilight precipitates the scorching of the day, and the cool breeze passes through the forest, bringing the coolness of the night. The carriage came to a halt with a slight sway, and one man lifted the curtain and got into the carriage, and then the wheels rose again and headed forward.
The child in his mother's arms woke up rubbing his eyes, and when he saw the person sitting opposite, he smiled sweetly.
"Xi'er, come and sit here. Patting the vacant seat beside him, Wu Feiyun ignored Bai Cha's hatred and pulled Xi Er to his side, Xi Er looked up at him, and grinned: "Uncle Yun came back late today, Xi Er fell asleep after waiting." β
Wu Feiyun took out the scallion pancake wrapped in oil paper from his arms and handed it to Xi Er, and said seemingly casually but meaningfully: "Uncle Yun has a lot of things to do, Xi Er obediently accompanies his mother, and when you arrive in Jingyang, Uncle Yun will take you to play every day, okay." β
"Okay!" Xi Er happily took the scallion pancake and took a bite of it, while Bai Cha was shocked and looked at Wu Feiyun.
After the fall of the Xiangguo Mansion, the imperial brother should have sent troops to clear out the place, what is Wu Feiyun going to do now with his people? Could it be that there are still remnants of evil entrenched and want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble? Does the imperial brother know? Or has he already made all the preparations?
"Heh, don't guess, your good imperial brother didn't expect me to come back here, he's probably worried about the war with Zheng Guo now. Yes, who let him sit on the throne unsteadily, but he wants to get rid of the demons in his heart, and let me live to pursue Meng Baiyan and Ji Wuflawless for thousands of miles, I'm afraid you don't know yet, Meng Baiyan and Ji Wuflawless have been separated, and the initiator is your good brother Emperor Wen of Jin. β
"You are talking nonsense! Bai Yan and Wufang have been away from the Eastern Capital for almost a year, and my aunt wrote to say-"
"Ha, hahahaha. Wu Feiyun raised his head and laughed as if he had heard a big joke, his hands were still holding Xi'er, but his eyes were full of banter and ridicule and stared straight at Baicha: "Why did you say that your aunt never returned to Chengle? It's not that she doesn't want to go back, it's because she and Meng Changlong's old puppet have been under house arrest by your imperial brother in the Eastern Capital General's Mansion! Hehe, Chengle's Mighty Marquis Mansionββ" After a pause, Wu Feiyun lowered his head with a little pleasure, wiped Xi'er's oily mouth with his hand, and said slowly after a while: " My house has been raided!"
Bai Cha's body shook suddenly, and his face turned white with a brush.
Impossible! Brother Huang, he will never do this! Mo said that he is still happy, even if he is not there, the Mighty Marquis Mansion has always been loyal to the royal family, and his uncle and Bai Yan have made great contributions to the pacification of the world in the Great Jin, how can they be wiped out like this!
"Xi'er, come here!" The voice suddenly became stern, Baicha reached out to pull Xi'er, Xi'er had a cake wrapped in her mouth, and she almost fell down by her pull, the cake choked in her throat, and her little face turned red.
"Scare the child!" Wu Feiyun snatched Xi'er back with one hand, grabbed the cake stuck in his throat with his bow, and then took Xi'er out of the carriage with a bow.
"Give me back the child!" Bai Cha rushed to the side of the car and asked for the child with a loud voice, and when she looked up, she saw that Xi Er was very scared and lay in Wu Feiyun's arms and did not dare to look at herself, her heart suddenly moved, and she realized what she had just done.
No, he shouldn't be so impulsive, Xi'er is still young, he can't tell right from wrong, people who are good to him in his world are trustworthy, even if he is a big traitor like Wu Feiyun, he is also a friend of his father in his eyes, he shouldn't be harsh on him, accuse him, or even hurt him.
"Xi'er, my mother didn't mean it......" Suffering from the situation of being powerless at this moment, Bai Cha stretched out her hand to Xi'er with tears, Xi'er looked back at her, pouted a little aggrieved, and then stretched out her little hand and threw herself back into her arms: "Mother doesn't cry, Xi'er will never be greedy in the future." β
He thought that his mother was not angry about eating cakes, but only thought that he was greedy and made his mother unhappy, so he threw down the scallion pancake in his hand while talking, Bai Cha hugged him tightly in his arms and returned to the carriage, thought about it, and couldn't help crying bitterly.
Is what Wu Feiyun said true? The Hou Mansion was raided, and his uncle and aunt were placed under house arrest by his brother in the Eastern Capital, so what about Bai Yan? Where is he? Why did he do this? Why?!
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time for the emperor to rest. Turning the lamp and candle on the table a few points, Xiao Liuzi softly called the person who was still reviewing the folds.
Zheng Chexuan looked at the fold on the table and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Did you sleep Flawlessly?"
"Back to the emperor, the prince ......" Zheng Chexuan understood halfway through Xiao Liuzi's words, he put down his pen, stood up, thought about it, and said to Xiao Liuzi: "Prepare a pot of flower brew, heat it up, and get a few good dishes with wine, don't want the taste in the palace, make it flawless and like, and send it to the New Year's Palace." β
"Yes. Xiao Liuzi left in a hurry, and Zheng Chexuan walked out of the Zhengde Hall and went in the direction of the dormitory.
Since the Butterfly Orchid Garden was burned down that night, Flawless has stayed in his dormitory, but the dormitory is quite large, and the space for the two to get along is the same as before.
Entering the New Year's Palace, Hui was flawless and had not yet fallen asleep, and at this moment he was thinking about something with a book by candlelight, and the palace maid on the side was sleepy, squinting and standing there, and was about to kneel down when he saw the emperor enter the door, but Zheng Chexuan only raised his hand and ordered her to leave.
Flawless thoughts have long gone, Zheng Chexuan stood behind him for a long time and he didn't notice it, after thinking for a while, he looked down to read the book, and found that someone was in a similar position, so he suddenly turned his head sideways.
"When did you come back?"
The military affairs of the DPRK and China are busy with many twists and turns, and the uneven drought and flood in various places and the border wars make Zheng Chexuan return to the dormitory every day. When Flawless saw him come back, he thought that the night was already in the middle of the day, but Zheng Chexuan shook his head, took out the book in his hand and put it aside, and said: "I am a little tired today, so I came back early, I saw that you didn't sleep, just right, I asked Xiao Liuzi to heat up a pot of flower brew and accompany me to have a drink." β
Flawless Ben was about to avoid when he spoke, but as soon as he got up, he heard the flower brewing, and sat back again.
Zheng Chexuan smiled quietly, flipped through the book that he had just read, and couldn't help sighing: "You have already memorized these things backwards, why bother turning them out again and hurting your eyes." β
Flawless and lonely lowered his eyes and responded: "I'm afraid that some things in my memory are not remembered by myself, so I turned them out and looked at them, but I didn't expect to remember them too clearly, but I couldn't see them." β
Zheng Chexuan knew that he remembered the past again, and he didn't want him to be sad, let alone remember some people, so he walked to the door and said something to the palace maid who was accompanying him, and the palace maid immediately entered the inner hall, and returned there with a brocade box after a while.
"Since the Sichuan Shu embroidery to Dazheng, embroidery has risen all over the country, among which the embroidery of Yufeng Xiang is the most famous, do you know why?"
There was a white satin brocade robe in the brocade box, with only the cuffs and neckline embroidered with gold wire, and nothing else was decorated, but it was simple and chic, revealing the atmosphere.
"Speaking of the owner of this Yufeng Xiang, it's also very interesting, have you ever seen the owner of your own property that you don't even know?" As soon as Zheng Chexuan finished speaking, Flawless finally looked up at him.
"This dress is embroidered by Uncle Leng with a needle and a thread, after you left, I reopened Dingxuan, and vigorously developed the family business in your hands, Second Uncle Leng is in charge of the embroidery village, and pays tribute to the palace every year, this dress is sandwiched in the tribute, but it is made according to your size, I think it was made by Uncle Leng for you, but somehow it was sent into the palace, I kept it for a thought, I didn't think you came back, this dress can finally be returned to Zhao and returned to its owner. β
The clothes were shaken off, and the lifelike peach blossoms on the cuffs were particularly dazzling under the candlelight, and the flawless reached out to caress the petals, and couldn't help but redden.
The embroidery is dense with stitches and threads, but what kind of hard work does the person who wants to do it, the second uncle's eyes are not very good, and his legs and feet have sequelae due to falling off the cliff that year, what kind of mood should he use to persist in such a time-consuming and laborious thing......
"The second uncle has been tired of me all his life, and the most unbearable thing in this life is him......"
The wine is sad and more intoxicating. Flawless finally held the flower brew and did not let go, the elegant and sweet taste was drunk by him out of the bitterness of his mouth, a small pot of wine made him forget everything for a while, that once sweet or painful, reluctant or let go of everything no longer echoes in his mind, at that moment he was confused, but also the most calm!
As soon as the sound of the third watch was struck, a carriage stopped outside Jingyang City, and there were two teams of people lined up next to the car, all quietly waiting for something.
There was some noise on the city wall, but it soon calmed down, and when the gate of the city was slowly opened, Xiaoba, who greeted him from the inside, withdrew his blood-drenched long sword, and waved his hand outside the door, saying: "The city gate has been cleared, welcome the master into the door." β
Wu Feiyun turned the iron ring on his little finger, glanced coldly at the towering city wall, leaned down on the horse's back, and raised his voice into the carriage: "Xi'er, we're home." β
The city gate was wide open, and there were countless black shadows standing behind the gate, and countless corpses were poured under their feet, Wu Feiyun jumped off the horse, leaned into the carriage, forcibly hugged Xi'er from Bai Cha's hand, and then put him high by the neck.
Xi Er stared at the land of light and shadow in front of her with her slippery eyes, and before she had time to be afraid, she was already taken forward by Wu Feiyun with great strides. Bai Cha jumped out of the carriage and followed, and the moment they entered the city gate, the banner of Jin was pulled and thrown down, and then a banner of the army was raised high!
