The Shenji Battalion bloodied the pursuers on both sides of the Huai River and wiped out all the living mouths. Shocked to hear that Fengyang's hometown Xu died violently, Zhu Shouqian was kidnapped by "mountain bandits", life and death are unknown, Fengyang Mansion Yin asked three questions and didn't know, Emperor Hongwu was furious, since the disbandment of Jinyiwei, there was no clairvoyance and tailwind ears, Emperor Hongwu deeply felt the inconvenience of not having spies, and secretly reactivated Ji Gang Mingyue, who was previously excellent Jinyiwei to investigate the case, and temporarily commanded the elite Shenji Battalion, but there was no name of Jinyiwei and no edict.

Ji Gang and Mingyue were familiar with the palace secret fight, and they targeted the East Palace, activated the hidden stake that they had previously stalked, tracked the henchmen of the East Palace, followed the clues to find here, and immediately made a decision to destroy the pursuing army.

This is also a trick that Ji Gang learned from Mao Xiang: don't let the emperor see what he doesn't want to see. King Yan and his wife went out of the domain without authorization, and it was indeed their fault first. But the husband and wife were caught between the two sides of the strait and almost died, and the East Palace behind them was even more terrifying!

The emperor is well aware of the contradiction between the East Palace and King Yan, but he definitely doesn't want to see the scene of cannibalism, so Ji Gang learned the way his former boss Mao Xiang dealt with it: that is, to cover up the truth and completely erase the things that the emperor understands in his heart but is unwilling to face.

Erase it with a killing effect.

All witnesses were put to death. Just as King Yan and his wife have never left the domain, the East Palace has never done anything to the emperor's uncle and sister-in-law.

And Zhu Shouqian...... If it's wrong, it's wrong, let's just say that it was kidnapped by bandits and torn up the ticket. The thrilling escape on the Huai River, the dead were all bandits, and it was the Shenji Battalion that launched the attack.

As for the people who died in Wei, let's just say that they colluded with the bandits to kidnap Zhu Shouqian and were executed by the Shenji Battalion.

Ji Gang commanded the Shenji Battalion to bury the corpse, and secretly sighed: Did Master Mao see it in the spirit of the sky? Lo and behold, the logic and details are flawless, and I did it perfectly! Master Mao, am I not your best subordinate! Ask me to send me a red envelope reward......

In the post station, Xu Miaoyi looked at the river intently, "Has my cousin's body been found?" ”

Mingyue didn't know how to explain it, the huge merchant ships were sunk, and Zhu Shouqian died on it, so it was probably blown to pieces, right?

Mingyue lowered her head and said, "King Yan has already personally driven the boat to find it, and there is no news at present." ”

On the Huai River, the cold wind is biting, and it is about to be frozen, but the fishing boats are weaving, especially lively, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, Zhu Di has a heavy reward for salvage, and the nearby fishing boats have rushed here to cast their nets.

At night, the fishing fire on the Huai River is like a starry sky, like the Milky Way in the sky.

The sky floated snowflakes, at first it was just a small snow, and then it became bigger and bigger, like a raffit, the next morning, the Huai River was frozen, the ice was as thick as a brick, the snowflakes covered it, the Huai River and the two banks were connected into a piece of pure white, like a giant white coffin, wrapping Zhu Shouqian, who was sleeping forever at the bottom of the river.

When the ice and snow melt in the spring of the next year, Zhu Shouqian will already be buried in the belly of the fish, and it is impossible to salvage it again.

Xu Miaoyi was wearing plain clothes, kneeling in the snow and silently burning paper money, and a group of monks braved the wind and snow to chant sutras, so cold that the sound of wooden fish was shivering.

Zhu Di was by Xu Miaoyi's side, seeing that her face was pale, crumbling, and her heart tingled, and she was about to help her up, but Xu Miaoyi avoided it sideways.

Zhu Di opened his mouth to persuade, Xu Miaoyi said: "My cousin is buried in the Huai River, and I can't collect his body." I was sad, but I knew who killed him, but I couldn't avenge him. “

Zhu Di said: "Miaoyi-"

Xu Miaoyi said: "I don't blame you, really. I just hate them, I hate your father, I hate Donggong. But they are your blood relatives, my father-in-law, and my nephews. One of them occupies the word filial piety, and the other occupies the word loyalty, and I can't justifiably hate them. “

The snow fell silently, silently giving Zhu Shouqian a funeral.

Zhu Di took off his sheepskin gloves, put them on his wife, and silently threw paper money into the fire.

The paper money turned to ashes and was swept up by the north wind, like black butterflies hovering in the sky.

Xu Miaoyi spread out her palms, and the heavy snow fell on the sheepskin gloves, which did not melt immediately, and the plush was like a cotton flower.

"It's weather like this again." Xu Miaoyi said: "When I was seven years old, my mother and I were hunted down, and it was also such a snowy day, and my mother pierced my throat with a hairpin in order not to affect my escape. I was running and running in the snow alone, and I didn't know when my shoes and socks were lost, I didn't know the cold, I didn't know the pain, and my mind was full of scenes of my mother committing suicide. ”

"When I was a child, I always blamed myself, blamed myself for being too weak and useless, and imagined that if I grew up and had the ability, I would protect myself, protect my relatives, and fight against the gangsters."

"But now, I am the princess of Yan, I can fight the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and even kill the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but I still can't protect my cousin."

Xu Miaoyi stretched out her index finger and drew a circle in the snow, "Look, going around and around, from the start/point to the end, I am still the useless seven-year-old girl who can only watch my relatives die." ”

"You're not." Zhu Di also drew a circle in the snow, and most of the arcs of the two circles were superimposed, "You still have me." ”

Zhu Di pointed to the parts that did not overlap, "I didn't have time to participate in your life before the age of seventeen, everything has already happened, I can't change it, but ......"

Zhu Di pointed to the overlapping arc, "But after the age of seventeen, there are my shadows, you and my lives are stacked together, your sorrow is my sorrow, and your joy is also my joy." ”

Zhu Di drew six small circles around the two circles, and the eight circles were entangled and superimposed like spider webs, "These are our six children, before they get married, you and I will be all they have." You can grieve, but you can't fall. “

Looking at the entangled arcs, Xu Miaoyi's frozen heart had a warm current, "Yes, I can be sad, but I can't fall." “

Zhu Di grabbed his wife's shoulder, this time, Xu Miaoyi did not avoid her husband's touch, she leaned on Zhu Di's warm arms and threw paper money into the fire.

Cousin, you have worked too hard all your life, and if you die, you will be infamous through the ages. Maybe you are really tired, or maybe choosing to end this embarrassing and aggrieved life in Huaihe is the best choice. In this way, they will not continue to bother you, bury your body according to the specifications of the county king, and use your death to show what imperial gifts, the imperial grace is immense!

From now on, the ugliness, calculations, and tilts of the world can no longer bother you.

You sleep in the Huai River, with aquatic plants as companions, and fish as friends, watch the tide rise and fall, and listen to the fishing boat singing at night.

Let's sleep, take the Huai River as a bed, take the snowflakes as a quilt, if there is an afterlife, you and I are brothers and sisters......

The next day, Ji Gang was about to send King Yan and his wife back to the domain, completely erasing the turmoil in the Huai River, just after boarding the boat, a eunuch panted and rushed to the dock, "The emperor said, Xuan Yan Wang and Princess Yan will return to Beijing!" “

Ji Gang looked at the eunuch who passed the decree suspiciously, "You heard it right, right?" The emperor obviously asked me to escort King Yan and his wife back to Beiping. “

The eunuch said in a low voice: "The slave maid is a person who is single-handedly promoted by Hu Shanggong, how dare she coax Master Ji?" The emperor fainted the day before yesterday, and I am afraid that time is running out, so the kings of Xuan returned to Beijing to meet, and even the county lords and kings of Beiping had to receive the capital. “

The snow was falling, and the feudal kings from all over the country rushed to the capital day and night with their families. Only the second uncle of Yan Wangfu, Xu Zengshou, took the lead and led the six nephews south.

Xu Zengshou sat in the carriage and looked at the outline of Jinling City from afar, and suddenly burst into tears, "It's been sixteen years, in order to take care of you nephews, I haven't been home for sixteen years!" ”

The nephews all covered their mouths and laughed.

Xu Zengshou glanced back, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhu Gaochi is the eldest brother, and immediately stood up and said, "We are all very happy to see our father and mother soon, so we laughed." ”

The county lord of Yong'an said: "And the imperial grandfather, I left Beijing at the age of five, and I don't remember the appearance of the imperial grandfather." ”

Zhu Gaoxu, who was taller than his brother, wiped the long/gun in his arms and glanced at the passers-by outside the carriage, "Southerners are generally shorter than northerners, hmph, there is no one who can fight." ”

"The little cub doesn't know how thick the sky is!" Xu Zengshou slapped his backhand on the back of Zhu Gaoxu's head, "When you get to the Duke of Wei's mansion, you will know that it is powerful if you have made a move with your uncle." ”

Xu Huizu, the second-generation Duke of Wei, was the surviving and most prestigious general of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "I am most looking forward to meeting my uncle, I heard that my uncle is most like my grandfather Xu Da." I often hear storytellers in the teahouse tell stories about my grandfather killing the enemy, which is more powerful than Guan Yunchang, who has passed five levels and killed six generals! ”

Xu Zengshou's heart was cold, and he almost cried on the spot, "What about me?" Are you going to cross the river and tear down the bridge and abandon your second uncle? ”

The county lord of Yong'an had a sweet mouth, and hurriedly grabbed Xu Zengshou's shoulder, "We admire my grandfather the most and look forward to seeing my uncle the most, but our favorite is always you, the second uncle!" ”

Xu Zengshou burst into tears and laughed, "It's pretty much the same." ”

In sixteen years, Xu Zengshou coaxed his nephew, and sixteen years later, it was his nephews who coaxed him.

The people of Yanwangfu arrived, and the Zhou Wangfu also came from Kaifeng, Henan, and the Zhou Wangfu and his wife came to the Yanwangfu as guests.

Feng's mother's family is dilapidated, and her arrogance is still there, she is not apprehensive or timid in front of Xu Miaoyi, and the two of them talk politely, as if Zhu Shouqian's death no longer exists.

In the study, Zhu Hu and Zhu Di reunited again after sixteen years, needless to say, all kinds of intimate sighs. Zhu Hu felt guilty about the fourth brother, "It was I who neglected the Feng family and didn't notice that she wrote to the fourth sister-in-law, which caused a big disaster." ”

Zhu Di said: "Don't blame Princess Zhou, compare your heart to your heart, your younger brother Feng Chengzhi is to Princess Zhou, just like Zhu Shouqian is to Miaoyi, brother and sister have a deep relationship, no less than husband and wife." ”

Zhu Hu said: "But you and your fourth sister-in-law almost died. ”

Zhu Di pointed at himself, "Isn't this okay?" Although your father-in-law was given death and the Feng family was defeated, there are still many people in the army who admire your father-in-law. In short, you and Princess Zhou will live a good life, and the future Zhou Wangfu will be stable, and the husband and wife will be one, not just talking. 166 Reading Network
