Chapter 64: Hanfu condolences
As consciousness gradually returned, Takehito first felt pain all over his body, his shoulders, hands, and knees, all tingling, and his throat was dry and smoking. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He struggled to open his eyes and saw an unfamiliar face.
The melon seed face had fair skin, gray eyes, and most notably short silver hair. The man was wearing a black robe, playing with the short sword in his hand, and spoke in a cold tone: "Yo, you're awake." ā
Who are you? Where am I? Wu Ren wanted to ask him, but found that his throat was sore and dry, and he couldn't speak.
"Your Excellency, are you awake? His attendant looked cramped, helped Wu Ren up, and handed him a glass of water, "Do you want to drink water?"
Takehito almost snatched the cup, and he drank the water to the bottom of the air in one go, and he couldn't help coughing. Only then did he realize that he had a pair of handcuffs tied to his hands and a red ribbon tied around his left wrist.
"Ruolin!Ruolin!" Takehito remembered the little girl with a milky voice. He struggled to sit up, but he couldn't muster his strength and tumbled out of bed.
"Don't scream, I'm Kilrod, Wolf Warrior. Kilrod pointed his sword at Takehito, "That's the magic suppression handcuffs, my new invention, do you like it?"
A man with long silver hair, stepping on an elegant step, with his hands behind his back, leaned down, and brought his face in front of Takehito. Takehito recognized him, Charlotte of the Wolf Squad Warriors.
"It stinks and it's dirty. Kilrod, you said that just such a person who gets out of bed and rolls can really summon 3 tree men?" Charlotte covered her nose with her hands, stood up, walked to her seat, rested her cheek with her right hand, and lifted Erlang's legs.
The attendant wrapped him in a coat and helped him to a chair.
His head was dizzy, and he remembered the peony petals that had fallen in his hand when he fell, and he felt like all his strength had been drained.
When Master Karl heard the news, he pushed open the door and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, Lord Advisor, you have finally woken up. Oh my god, it looks like my treatment is working. ā
"What the hell is wrong with me?" Wu Ren spat out a few words, feeling his throat so laborious, and drank another glass of water.
"The Restorationists, they attacked people praying in churches on the Day of the Flowers. O gods, they have killed old men, women, and children. Master Carl frowned and gasped, "The Revenge faction entered the church, but was repelled by the girl named Han Yan, and the Harrington Sheriff came and chased down the Revenge faction who escaped from the church. That's when you summoned 3 Treants, and we all freaked out, and the Treants smashed the church to pieces. ā
"What about Han Yan, what about Ruolin?" Wu Ren asked anxiously, he finally remembered everything.
Master Karl pulled his hand out of his sleeve and said, "Han Yan was rescued by the remnants, Ruolin...... The little girl died instantly. ā
Wu Ren hugged his head and cried bitterly, his heart was like a knife. Harrington said that he was afraid of reprisals from the Restorationists for holding the festival, and he tried to organize the festival of flowers, looking for a way that everyone could accept. In fact, before the Protesters attacked the church, everything was so peaceful and joyful.
"I ...... I'm going to see Han Yan and Ruolin......" Wu Ren stood up, his head dizzy, his legs weak, and he sat down again.
Kirrod placed the dagger in the sunlight, narrowed one eye, and examined it carefully: "Boy, do you know why I am handcuffing you? ā
Takehito stared blankly at the handcuffs in his hands, the handcuffs were pitch black, as if they were made of iron, and they contrasted sharply with the red ribbon. He slowly raised his head: "I agree, but before I go with you, I have a request: I want to go to the Han Mansion in Yuhua City to meet Han Yan." ā
"No, I can't. The Wolf Squad didn't have the time to bargain with you. Kilrod put the dagger into the scabbard and replied.
"Please, I ......"
"The advisor is going to see his sweetheart, two adults, maybe, sorry, I don't know anything about magic, look at his appearance, meet him, I would prefer to go with you. Just ...... A final farewell. Maester Karl mediated.
"Hey, Charlotte, what do you think?" said Kirrod, turning his head and asking Charlotte, who was arranging her hair on the side.
"I'm going to go to you, see it's going to rain this day, what if your hair gets dirty?" Charlotte said as she cut the ends of her hair and refused without looking back.
"Well, how about buying you desserts on the road? Potpourri cakes, glutinous rice dumplings, sugar gourds, you can't eat them in other provinces. Kilrod's tone became gentle, like coaxing a child.
Charlotte stood up and looked at Takeren: "Boy, don't try to play tricks, if you dare to use magic, just test the effect of magic to suppress handcuffs." He turned his head and said to Kilrod, "I want a copy of every dessert." No, sugar gourds cost 5 skewers. ā
Master Karl stared at the two silver-haired men dumbfounded.
The house of Hanfu is an old building a hundred years ago, with white walls and cyan glazed tiles, the roof curve is just right, and the dougong is strong, and the whole house is simple and imposing.
Wu Ren walked to the door when he heard a cry inside. He had a sore nose and cried.
"Please let me know, just say that Mr. Youwu has come to visit Miss Han Yan. Bachelor Karl said in Huanglong, and the family looked at each other, felt strange, and ran in.
After a while, the white-clad family stopped Master Carl, Charlotte and the others outside, and invited Takehito in.
Han Mansion was full of tears up and down, and when they saw Wu Ren, Han Xianwang and his wife saluted, while Han Yan couldn't cry. Wu Ren had already burst into tears.
In front of the main room, Ruolin's coffin is placed. The little girl closed her eyes peacefully, as if she were asleep.
"Ruolin, my brother has come to see you. Wu Ren leaned on the edge of the coffin and stretched out his hand, "Look, how beautiful the ribbon you tie is." Hurry up, my brother will buy you a kite, by the way, my brother will buy you a sugar gourd, what do you want, what will my brother buy for you...... Please...... Open your eyes and see......"
"Mr. Wu, don't grieve, be careful of hurting yourself. Listening to the eldest daughter's words, fortunately with you the day before yesterday, the eldest daughter Han Yan was able to save her life. Han Xianwang's Huanglong words were round, and the grief was suppressed in his words, he frowned and patted Wu Ren's shoulder, "Little girl Ruolin, hey...... Life is thinner than paper, this is providence. ā
"Providence, if you hadn't allowed them to go to the Flower God Festival that day, how could this have happened?" Mrs. Han wiped her tears and scolded angrily, "The barbarians invaded me and intimidated the big country, and the Governor's Mansion held the Flower God Festival, how could I be kind?"
"I ...... If I had known this, I would never have allowed her to go. Han Xianwang sighed.
"Speaking of which, father, I saw that there were people from my house in the Restoration faction that day. Han Yan's eyes were full of shock and anger, "Does this matter have anything to do with my mansion?"
"Hey......" Han Xianwang glanced at Wu Ren, "Many family members in the family were all beheaded by the barbarians, with yellow scarves on their heads and 'Recovering the Rising Sun' tattooed on their bodies. It's all my fault...... It's all my fault for not being able to discipline ......"
"Lord Han......" Wu Ren remembered that Han Yan had said that the ancestor of the Han family was a minister of the former dynasty, and carefully figured out the other party's position, "Listen to the words of the lord, and do you not agree with the matter of the subordinates participating in the Restoration faction?"
"Of course not. Han Xianwang looked at Wu Ren, "The things committed by the Restoration faction have been fruitful so far, not to mention the slaughter of civilians on the Flower God Festival, even if they are barbarians, there are innocent people, not to mention that they will not let go of their fellow clans who are remnants of the empire." ā
Han Xianwang, supported by his wife, returned to the lobby of the main room, invited Wu Ren to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea.
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, Lord Han's ancestor is a minister of the previous dynasty, don't you want to return to the country?" Wu Ren cautiously tested.
Han Xianwang sighed, looked at Han Yan, and replied, "Ancestor Han Xuanlin is a household servant, when the barbarians invaded the Four Holy Cities, the ancestor collected money and grain in Ziyun Mountain and escaped. I heard that the ancestor said that the barbarian knight Buck Browning led an army of 100,000 to fight a decisive battle with General Guan, the general was defeated, the city was broken, and the first emperor Sun Mingquan led the barbarians into the Yongning Palace, summoned the four holy beasts, and died with the barbarians, but it was a pity that the barbarian leader Rhodes would participate in the war in the future. ā
"Hey...... It was 89 years ago. "Takeren knows this history well, Emperor Rhodes failed to participate in the war that day and escaped, and from then on there was only one empire on the continent.
"My ancestors also wanted to return to the country, and my father also participated in the restoration faction. But there was a dispute with the Restoration faction, and the emperor's bloodline may have been wiped out in the Four Holy Cities as early as possible, even if the country is restored, who can be called the emperor?" Han Xianwang sighed deeply.
Wu Ren understood what Han Xianwang meant: Even if the country is really restored, without the bloodline of Emperor Sun, who can lead the new Rising Sun Empire?
"What the gentleman said is very true. If there is no Sun bloodline, the heroes are fighting, and the imperial army comes to suppress it, I'm afraid ......" Wu Ren couldn't help but shudder. In the end, it is still a scuffle, and the winner is king. The entire province will be bloody, and the Rhodes Empire will send troops to suppress the riots, and the tragedy of the Flower God Festival will continue to unfold.
"Hey...... In the end, it still suffers the people of Limin. Han Xianwang touched his beard and looked at Wu Ren, "Sir, that's all over for now." The eldest daughter, Mr. Han Yande, rescued her and thanked her here. ā
Wu Ren quickly got up and helped Han Xianwang up: "Adults, don't do it." ā
"Every time Han Yan mentions you, she is uncertain. Seeing that you are safe today, she is in good spirits. Mrs. Han looked at her daughter, and Han Yan's face flushed slightly.
Before Wu Ren could be a little happier, Han Xianwang asked strangely, "Sir, this iron ring in your hand?"
Wu Ren was shocked, Charlotte insisted on not letting go of the handcuffs for him, he originally covered it with the sleeves of his wide long shirt, and after the servant served the tea, he said to the courtesy, and when he drank the tea, he inadvertently revealed the red ribbon and the magic suppression handcuffs.
Wu Ren gritted his teeth and glanced at Han Yan: "Don't hide it, my lord, it was the one who summoned the tree man that day." In case my magic gets out of control, I'm handcuffed. ā
"Magic, Witchcraft?!" Mrs. Han jumped up first, "You actually learn barbarian witchcraft! Get out!"
"Bastard! Han Yan, how do you make friends with such a weirdo!" Han Xianwang's face changed, and he slapped the table vigorously.
At the end of the day, in their eyes, I'm a monster. Wu Ren glanced at Han Yan painfully.
"Someone, pull this monster out!" Mrs. Han shouted, pushing Wu Ren, "Get out!"
"Father and mother, if he hadn't cast a spell in the church that day, his daughter would have died in the flames. Han Yan ran over and stood between her parents and Wu Ren.
"Are you still going to the church of the barbarians?" Mrs. Han beat her chest, "If you don't go there, how can you meet the Restoration? It's you! It's you who hurt Ruolin!"
When Han Yan heard this, tears flowed. Wu Ren pulled Han Yan away and said bitterly: "The young lady was going to leave with the second young lady that day, and she stopped at the bottom and said that she would go to see the scenery of the church together......"
A resounding slap in the face. Takehito's face was hot and painful.
"Someone, take him down and pay tribute to Ruolin!" Lady Han shouted and rushed into a group of family members.
