Chapter 118: A Beam of Light
When he came out again, Huang Shaoyun put on the silver mask again and followed behind Chu Yu like a shadow.
"Marquis Chu." When Shu Min saw him come out, he hurriedly saluted. Just now, there was news from Lizheng's side, asking if Marquis Chu was willing to go for a light meal.
Hou Ye, that is a relative of the emperor, how dare a small Li Zheng invite, it is just like Shu Min looking for help and probing Hou Ye's tone.
"Something?" Hou Ye saw that she had been standing, and raised his eyes to look at her, although she was still dressed in plain clothes now, her hair was pulled casually, but her skin was white and her lips were red, and she was a little jade, but she had a bit of appearance, no wonder that kid was interested in her.
"Li Zheng learned that he has been adjacent to Hou Ye in the past few years, and he feels honored, and I want to ask Hou Ye if he is willing to go to the village for a light meal?" Seeing his lofty and empty expression, Shu Min's heart was drummed, but he still mustered up the courage to say this.
Hou Ye is also a human being, and Hou Ye also wants to eat, and if Li Zheng doesn't come to ask, it will be a big rebellion. Shumin cheered himself up in his heart.
Chu Yu glanced at Shu Min a few times, and it was these glances that made Shu Min extremely uncomfortable. In the past, bearded people have always ignored themselves directly.
"Okay, but this king doesn't like extravagance." It's a village for kids, and the two children have been living here, and it's okay to have a light meal.
Shu Min got the letter and hurriedly went to communicate with Li Zheng, Li Zheng got the letter and was overjoyed, on the one hand, he hurriedly sent someone to the town to invite Zheng Min back, and on the other hand, he personally arranged the list of wine and food, so that the uncle could hurry up and prepare.
Since Zhengmin has embarked on an official career, it is good to show his face in front of Hou Ye, and if he says it in the future, he has eaten with Hou Ye, and Fu Yin has to look up to him.
It's a pity that Zhengxiu is still studying in Fucheng, otherwise he should come to show his face. Li Zheng felt sorry for his youngest son.
Alas, parents love their children and plan for them.
Although it was a family banquet, four tables were set up in Lizheng's house, and Hou Ye sat alone at one table, and the rest of the people were scattered in the other three tables. Shumin didn't serve it this time, and only ate in the kitchen with his aunt.
During the meal, although Chu Yu said that there was no need to be restrained, but what he was doing was a villager, where did he really see the majesty of the royal family? Everyone drank and ate food in a sullen voice, and their eyes didn't dare to look at each other.
This is probably the most dreary banquet ever held in Baili Village, but Li Zheng is helpless, his status is too low, where dare to come forward to toast? He didn't dare anymore, and the rest of the people even more dared.
The last time I came to Lord Zhao, Chunquan accidentally offended him and went to most of his life, but fortunately, there was a Hou Ye as a master to be fortunate enough to save his life, if he accidentally offended Hou Ye, then they had to be destroyed directly? They don't have a stronger backer than Hou Ye.
Several elders of the Zhang family also didn't dare to speak, drinking wine silently, and didn't even dare to pick up the dishes.
On the other hand, Chu Yu is quite comfortable. It's not that he hasn't encountered this kind of scene before, and besides, the Apocalypse Country is very hierarchical, and it is already the greatest favor for them that these people can eat in the same courtyard with the royal family!
This banquet, in addition to the four tables in Lizheng's house, there are two tables in Chunquan's house, which are for those guards, and they are laughing and laughing here, which is very lively.
Chunquan woke up while eating, and as soon as he woke up, he felt his stomach growl. Yinmian brought him chicken porridge, and seeing that his hands were inconvenient, he wanted to feed him medicine like that, Chunquan's face turned red, and he said, "I'll do it myself." ”
He was really embarrassed to be fed porridge like this by a man.
"You don't have to be polite, I have lived in the barracks since I was a child, and I often feed the wounded." Seeing Chunquan's discomfort, Yinmian explained.
"Oh." It turned out that he was just used to doing this since he was a child, and I thought that Chun Quan blushed a little because of the idea that suddenly popped up on his own just now.
"How did you become Silverface?" Chunquan asked. He only knew that the shopkeeper sent someone to rescue him that day, but he didn't know where he was rescued.
"On that day, Shopkeeper Zhang took me back to Zhang's Mansion and put me in a secret room to recuperate from my injuries, and Hou Ye was already there at that time. When I met Hou Ye, I recounted my grievances. It turned out that Hou Ye had known for a long time, and he also found out the owner of the conspiracy behind him, but that person's status was too high, and Hou Ye had no choice but to use this method to make me appear in the eyes of the world openly. ”
Yinmian seemed to be telling a story that had nothing to do with him, but Chunquan heard the sadness inside.
"Don't worry, my master will definitely wash away the grievances for General Huang." Chunquan said with an oath.
"I know that Master Hou is a well-informed person, which is also an important reason why I am willing to follow him in this way." Silver Face lowered his head, his expression a little gloomy.
"You're going to see the light of day again." Chunquan wanted to pat him on the shoulder and give him some encouragement, but unfortunately as long as he moved a little now, it would involve the pain all over his body.
"I don't mind if I see the light of day again. I'm going to live as a silver face in the future. He remembered what his father was covered in blood before the breakout, and pulled him to say, "Live, don't care about anything, don't think about anything, I just want you to live!" ”
Thinking of this, Yinmian only felt sadness spreading in his heart, and hurriedly finished feeding Chunquan, and he went out for a walk while it was dark.
Before I knew it, I walked outside the village, where there were only empty rice fields, gurgling water, and misty distant mountains, all of which were so peaceful.
He took out the jade flute pinned to his waist and gently put it to his mouth. He played a folk song on the prairie, which was originally a cheerful tune, but he was blown by him to complain.
He has lived in the barracks since he was a child, when other children were still playing with the mud, he had already practiced with the soldiers, at the age of twelve he went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, at the age of thirteen he entered the White Horse Battalion, at the age of fifteen he took over the White Horse Battalion, becoming the youngest commander in the history of the White Horse Battalion, he led the White Horse Battalion to dismantle the assault of the Lihe tribe many times, and paid blood and sweat to defend the western territory of the Apocalypse. But he never thought that the emperor would not check a forged secret letter, and directly ordered the royal army to be sent to destroy them.
The hundreds of thousands of Huang Jiajun became the souls of the dead overnight, buried on the grassland far from their homeland.
Even his loyal father was seriously injured and died in the end.
Avenge?
How can you not avenge the blood feud?
He still remembers the conversation between the Hou Ye and him in the secret room, if you want to give up revenge, I will have a new identity with you, where can you marry a wife and have children, and live for a long time. But if you insist on revenge, you will no longer be you, and you will live with this mask from now on, even if one day Huang Jiajun can really get revenge, you will not be able to restore your identity. Have you really decided?
No regrets!
He picked up the silver face and covered his face, there will be no more Huang Shaoyun in the world in the future, his name is silver face.
The flute became more and more complaining, and later it was no longer the tune of a folk song, it was completely his injustice and grievances in his heart.
Suddenly, he heard someone crying, in a low voice, as if sobbing.
"Who?!" He reproached himself for being careless, and was so immersed in grief that he didn't notice anyone approaching.
"Big brother, it's me." Liu Er sobbed quietly, heard Yinmian asking, and walked out while wiping her tears, "I was nearby, and when I heard my eldest brother playing the flute, I suddenly remembered some sad past events in my heart, so I cried." Sorry to bother you. ”
Is it? It turns out that the sound of his flute is so sad that it affects a child's mood and makes her look back on the sad past?
"It's okay, you didn't bother me." He recognized Liu Er as a child in Shumin Academy, his tone slowed down a lot, raised his sleeve to help her wipe her tears, and asked, "You are so young, do you have sad things?" ”
Liu Er nodded and said, "I am not my aunt's niece, and my brother and I have been living a life of exile before I met my aunt."
For some reason, Liu Er was not wary of Yinmian at all, and told him about her past. Maybe he also has a sad story, and it is easiest for people with the same illness to establish a relationship of mutual dependence.
"I really didn't expect you to have such a story." Silver Face said, remembering the innocent smiling face and kind eyes when he saw her during the day, he couldn't press such a past on her.
"I don't know what kind of story you have, but crying is a day, laughing is also a day, and we can at least choose to cry or laugh, right?"
When Shumin said this, she moved here at this time, hoping to make the big brother in front of her happy.
Silver Face watched Liu Er spare no effort to unleash herself, her eyes under the mask flickered, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
"Big brother, you laughed." Liu Er also laughed when she saw that he was finally not as good as before.
"Crying and laughing, become a flower cat!" Silverface scratched her nose and said.
His voice was magnetic, as if with some kind of magic, and Liu'er's face quietly turned red, and she couldn't help but fantasize about what kind of face was hidden under that delicate mask.
"Big brother, why do you always wear a mask?" Liu Er asked embarrassedly.
"Because," said Silverface, deliberately dragging his voice, "because I'm ugly." ”
Is that so? It's really pitiful, such a beautiful hand, such a nice voice, but I don't dare to see people because of my ugliness.
The simple Liu Er immediately believed his words, and felt sorry for him in her heart.
"Those who judge people by their appearance are superficial people, big brother, you don't have to worry about those people." Liu Er thought she had discovered the secret of his grief and comforted her.
She believes everything, how can a girl who has been through so many things still have such a clean heart? Yinmian only felt that she was like a beam of light, shining into his heart, and the gray haze in his heart seemed to dissipate a little. (To be continued.) )
