Chapter 344: My Heart Is Like You, Never Give Up
The eastern capital is still prosperous as usual, no matter how far the war has burned, this superficial glitz is always so bright.
In the bustling streets, a man covered in patches and a girl of a few years old looked around, and when he saw a delicious man, he would take out a copper plate from the tattered clothes and throw it down, and buy it for the girl to eat, and the girl would giggle and be happy.
"Uncle Yan, you said that we went back, will we be scolded by my father?" Yu Mo took a bite of the sugar gourd, raised her little face and looked at the sturdy man with a worried face, the little Hou Ye squatted down when he heard the words, put his index finger on his lips, and sighed lightly, "This is our secret, hide this outfit after you go back for a while, Uncle Yan is not allowed to go out, but the law is nothing more than human affection, and he is always locked up in that place, Uncle Yan can't stand it, occasionally take you out to play, and then go back when it's over." β
"Hmm. Yu Mo nodded, looked up and saw the stall of the small noodle man, and excitedly shouted: "Yu Mo wants to do that." β
"Then let's do it. Before the little marquis finished speaking, Yu Mo had already raised his steps and ran towards the stall opposite, a galloping horse rushed from the other side of the street, Yu Mo's body happened to the middle of the street, and was frightened by the horse's hooves, and he stood in the middle and didn't know how to dodge.
The little marquis took her body to the opposite side with a sweeping step, and immediately the man grabbed the reins, turned around in a circle, and then beat the horse away without saying a word, and the little marquis did not make a sound, because he knew that he could not attract attention at this time.
Yu Mo was still stunned, her body trembled, and the little marquis stroked her cheek and said, "It's okay, Yu Mo." β
Yu Mo reached out and hugged his neck, and sobbed in a low voice: "I hate him, I hate that person just now, Uncle Yan, that person stuffed me into a cloth bag that night, I was afraid." β
Xiao Hou Ye's heart was blocked, knowing that it must be the guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, although this child was small, but he didn't know how much torture he had suffered in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he sighed, hugged her into his arms, and said, "Let's go back." β
Turning over the wall into the Dali Temple, the patrolling soldiers had already turned a blind eye to the man, and as soon as the little marquis stood still, he heard a cold snort behind him, and suddenly dug his brows in embarrassment, and turned around. Mo Hanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, leaned against the tree, looked at him coldly, the little marquis smiled and said, "The weather is so good, it's really a waste of time to stay here." β
"Soβ"
"So...... Eh......" In response, the little marquis reached out and pushed Yu Mo, signaling her to escape, and after Yu Mo ran away, he giggled and went straight to the door, but was hit by Mo Han's words and almost fell.
"The emperor is inside. β
The little marquis stood in place, unable to advance or retreat, and was embarrassed for a while.
"Hahahaha-" A string of bursting laughter came, Li Zongzhi stepped out of the room, walked to the little marquis with a joke, looked up and down, and circled around him, and sighed: "I really can't see it, it turns out that Bai Yan still has this ability, so casually disguised, he swaggered to the street to play, probably because the guards of this Dali Temple are not strict enough, it seems that more people have to be sent, General Mo, do you say yes." β
The little marquis laughed more ugly than crying at the moment, ignored the emperor's orders, left Dali Temple without permission, and was arrested by the emperor, there is really nothing more powerless than this.
"The minister asks the emperor for peace, long live the emperor, long live long live. β
"With you Meng Xiaohou Ye making such nonsense, can I really live long live Long live Long live!" With a sharp mouth, Li Zongzhi stood in front of the little Hou Ye and said coldly: "Spread my will, Dali Siqing is not well guarded, and ordered the cane to be punished fifty times, deduct two months, and the guards on duty are equally responsible-"
"The emperor - the blame lies on the minister alone, the minister asks the emperor to take back the order, and the minister is willing to bear it. β
"Meng Baiyan, do you still think that the current situation is child's play? I just can't tolerate your cynical attitude, if you don't change your temperament, you will definitely affect others in the future, you want to go out, you can, go back to serve by my side, and I will give you freedom. β
The corners of the little marquis's mouth hooked up a wry smile.
Freedom, is that freedom, I'm afraid that it's deep in the mud, and it will be difficult to get out.
"Bai Yanzhi is not here, why should the emperor force me. The little marquis lowered his head and whispered.
"The battle of Jiuyuan is about to break out, your father serves as the commander and enters Jiuyuan, the Wu father and son are eyeing Chengle, Bai Yan, your father has millions of soldiers, if you have no official position, how will you take on the big responsibility in the future!
"Time, fate, and luck are beyond my ability, Bai Yan doesn't dare to force it. β
"You're running away!" Li Zongzhi looked at the person in front of him with deep meaning, and after a long time, he spit out a few words: "For him?"
The corners of Xiao Houye's eyebrows moved slightly, and he did not speak.
"There have been frequent bandits in western Sichuan recently, I want you to lead troops to encircle and suppress, you prepare and set off in five days. β
"Your Majestyβ"
"Zong Ran, return to the palace with me. Ignoring the man, Li Zongzhi took Zong Ran back and left. The little marquis looked back at Li Zongzhi's departing back, and sighed, Mo Han saw this, walked to his side, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "You know that this day will come after all, why are you so stubborn, Chengle has such a huge army, how can the emperor let a person without an official position take charge, otherwise this million army, is the surname Li, or the surname Meng!"
Seeing Mo Han say this so bluntly, the little marquis took a deep breath, nodded, and said: "That's it, after all, I can't hide, I just happened to be trapped in this eastern capital and tired, I heard that the wine in western Sichuan is good, I used to drink all the good wine that your father hid in Yunwu Villa, this time I will go to find a few good jars to hide for you, and then take it out when we are old to have a good drink." β
Mo Han shook his head helplessly, and said, "Let you calm the bandits, but I don't want you to go to the mountains and rivers, but this wine, you can bring some back, eh, I heard that the daughter of western Sichuan is good......"
The bright sunlight sprinkled through the dense leaves on the two faces that looked at each other and smiled, and the seemingly cynical man nodded slightly, and said: "Bai Yan has left the Eastern Capital, everything depends on Brother Mo's shoulders, the situation in Beijing is changing rapidly, and there are many things to deal with, and there is Brother Lao Mo." β
Mo Han stretched out his hand and pressed the little marquis's shoulder tightly, and said, "The emperor needs an excuse to pull you back to his side, do it well, don't let him down." β
The little marquis no longer spoke, only looked up at the blue sky, he didn't know who he would meet when he went to western Sichuan, as if he was destined in the dark, some people don't want to get it, and some things will not be encountered if they are not avoided.
The horse's hooves went all the way forward, after more than ten days of bumps, and finally arrived at the border of Jin and Zheng, as long as they passed through the city of Yidan, which spanned the two countries, they could enter the territory of the Great Jin. Xian Yi paid the fare, said goodbye to Li De, and entered the city of Edans with Flawless.
Dancheng has always been famous for its unique geographical location, because it straddles the two countries of Jin and Zheng, so you can see the strange situation of the people of the two countries living together in the city, and the economic strategy of the two countries is very relaxed for the needs of trade, so the people live very richly.
It was getting late, Flawless and Xianyi stepped into an inn, and Xiao Er greeted him warmly and said, "Are the two guest officers sharpened or staying in the hotel?" β
"Come to the two upper rooms, prepare hot water, and get some light side dishes to deliver to the room. β
The little second brother bowed in embarrassment and said, "Girl, unfortunately there are a lot of guests today, there are no more upper rooms, and there are still a few ordinary rooms." Flawless looked up and saw a dogwood hanging next to the pillar in the store, and muttered: "It's already September Chongyang, it's okay, just clean up the two ordinary rooms, deliver the food to the room, and prepare hot water." β
"Okay, Childe, please. The little second brother led the way in front, and when he went up the stairs, because he saw that Flawless was slender, he helped him with his hand, but Flawless reacted strongly and shook off his hand, turned back and leaned on the handrail and retched.
"Don't touch our son-in-law!" Xian Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help Flawless stroke his back, and saw that the little second brother was frightened and stunned in place, and hurriedly said: "The son is unwell, and he doesn't like others to touch him, the little second brother forgive me." β
Xiao Er came back to his senses at this time, and said, "It's a little offense, two of you, please." β
After many days of hard work, I finally relaxed the tight string because of the arrival of the destination, ate flawlessly, washed the dust, and finally relaxed. Pushing open the window, looking at the bright moon in the night sky, I gradually fell into deep thought.
Dajin!
I once thought that when I returned to this land again, it would be the time when I led the army to invade, but I didn't expect that after such a big circle, it seemed to be back to the original point. After years of hard work, it came to naught because of that emotional entanglement, how could he have the face to face so many subordinates who swore to follow!
"Childe hasn't slept yet?" Xian Yi pushed the door in, holding a plate of pastries in his hand, and said: "Childe ate little for dinner, Xian Yi heard the little second brother say that the osmanthus cake just made was very delicious, so he asked for some, and Childe came to taste it." β
Seeing that Flawless was still stunned, Xian Yi put down the pastry and helped him behind Flawless, and said: "Go to enter western Sichuan, Childe will have a lot of things to do, our forces in Dajin will gather, the few shops left before need to be dotted, take advantage of the internal and external troubles in Dajin now, we still need to contact our subordinates to discuss countermeasures, Childe will not be able to stop in the future, the body is a very tight matter, if you don't take care of yourself, when you need to rush, you will be powerless, Childe Ying is amazing, naturally there is no need to remind Xianyi." β
For Xianyi's touch, Flawless only trembled slightly, and without strong resistance, he turned back to the table and sat down, picked up the pastries on the plate, and held them in front of him, but his eyes were stunned again.
ββββββββββββββ
"Flawless Son's task one today: eat breakfast, freshly baked osmanthus cake!"
"Flawless son's task 2 today: drink medicine, Dongdu's prescription, Bai Yan has already memorized it, and he sent someone to buy it and boil it, don't drink it!"
"Flawless Child's task three today: miss me! Wait for me to come back! Task two, Bai Yan will check when he comes back!"
ββββββββββββββ
Taking a deep breath, Flawless put down the pastry in his hand, pushed it with one hand, and said, "Don't eat, I'm tired, I have to hurry up early tomorrow and go to sleep." β
Xian Yi was puzzled, and didn't dare to ask more, so he waited for Flawless to go to bed, and then turned around and pulled the door away.
Flawless leaned sideways, trying to put himself to sleep, but the memories in his mind were so vivid that he couldn't forget them.
Bai Yan, Flawless is back, but Flawless can't come to see you, because Flawless has too many things to do, and Flawless fell badly this time, so he has to desperately let himself get up again.
Bai Yan, you are good in Dongdu, whether I am by your side or not, you remember to take good care of yourself, my heart is like you, and I will never give up!
