Chapter 201: Li Dai Taozhuang (18)
Mu Qing was hugged and bumped on the horse for half an hour, and the outline of some trees and dirt slopes had been slightly revealed in the endless darkness, like a ghostly beast squatting on the side of the road waiting for an opportunity, the sadness in Mu Qing's heart spread up little by little, and the triviality of the old years in Yuhang was always like a mosquito and fly flying in front of his ears and eyes, and he couldn't get rid of it.
"Where are we going?" When the scene of her empty Xizi box being ridiculed by Gu Erniang shook in her mind out of thin air, Mu Qing decided to think about it, and she couldn't make her head idle, so after looking around left and right, she finally found that they were not on the way when they came.
Du Ruhui's warm breath sprayed in her ears, "Why don't you sleep?" Will be five more. ”
Mu Qing shook his head on his chest, "There's no sleepiness." Why don't we go back to the city the way we come? Far ahead, a large black shadow in the shape of a watchtower appeared from the darkness. She guessed that it was about a change of way back to the city, but she didn't recognize it in the darkness of the night.
As soon as the words fell, the big black shadow came from the intermittent "rumbling" drums. Du Ruhui bowed his head and said, "The city gate has been opened." You and I, who are full of night walking, how dare we enter the city from the Fanglin Gate next to the imperial city with great fanfare, and we have to take some deviant roads, bypass the Longshou Canal, and enter the city at Tonghua Gate. ”
Mu Qing closed his mouth and said no more, and galloped for a while, and sure enough, he entered the city, and there were fewer people walking around the avenue in Tonghua Gate on weekdays, although the city gate was wide open at this time, there were no people coming and going, and the horse's hooves stepped on the road where the whole stone was smoothed, making a cold "kicking and kicking" sound, accompanied by some long echoes.
"Nadu flooded...... Is that all? After a long silence, Mu Qing asked thoughtlessly.
After waiting for a long time, a low and deep answer came from the top of his head, "I can't forget it." At present, there is still a Wang Shichong, and he should use his head as a vessel to make a wine sacrifice in front of the eldest brother's grave. ”
"King Qin personally made a promise not to kill, what are you ......" Mu Qing was taken aback, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at his face.
But I saw that his face was so dark that it seemed to melt into the darkness around him, and the uncertain chill in his translucent eyes was also similar to the temperature before the dawn of this early spring, the same refreshing bone marrow. "The King of Qin promised not to kill, but others did not make any promises to him, and now the King of Qin is certainly a man of his word, but he can't intercept so many enemies as Wang Shichong."
After another half a moment, when Mu Qing almost felt that he would not speak again, he suddenly asked, "He Suizhao, what objects do you have to give you?" ”
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered in his mind, "Yes, yes!" On the day you went out with the army last year, after sending you off, I turned my face and went to get it back, and hid it properly, it's been a year, and I almost forgot ......" Before she finished speaking, she stopped and suddenly realized, "Is it just these days?" ”
Du Ruhui didn't answer her, and only picked a few side things and said, "In the past few days, you have been guarding at home, restraining Da Lang Erlang, and not teaching them to go out and run, Shilang and Ayan are still young, so it doesn't matter." The servants and maids in the house should also have a bundle of good life, and the purchase and purchase will be delivered to Ada and Ah Liu in advance, and the rest are not allowed to go out at will, and the key will be locked when the door is closed. ”
Mu Qing silently remembered it, and then remembered something, "Chonghuafang's ......"
"Your eyesight is really good." Du Ruyan smiled silently, "Hu Dalang is indeed a capable person, and nothing has gone wrong in what he has taught him, and he has cleaned up those supporting evidences without leaking them." His family, I have been quietly sent out, and now I don't know where his family is located, and others have no way of knowing, you can rest assured. ”
As he spoke, he had arrived in front of the most restrained and low house in Yong'an Fang, and the sky was already bright. There was a sound of reading in the depths of the inner courtyard, Mu Qing couldn't be at ease because of her heart, so she first went to the inner room to get the booklet that Kang Saburo had and gave it to Du Ruhui to see, but she was still not tired at all, so she went to the inner courtyard with the sound of reading that made her heart calm.
I thought it would be more comfortable to sit outside the small courtyard where the children were studying and listen for a while. Halfway through the journey, I saw the gentleman who was teaching and a small servant in the family hurriedly turning out of the path covered by grass and trees, and saw her from a distance, and hurriedly bowed to her, "Madame, it's so early." There was an urgent matter at the next house, and he was about to take a leave of absence from Du Changshi, but he happened to meet his wife first. The house is cumbersome, and it is estimated that it will be cleaned up in only three or five days, and I ask my wife to agree. ”
Mu Qing smiled and nodded, secretly thinking that these few days were at a critical juncture, and it was good for a few outsiders to be cheap, so he bowed back, "Sir, let's go, I also know a little about the children's schoolwork, it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on it for a few days, Mr. will take care of the affairs of the family with peace of mind, don't be anxious, the left and right are not far away, just send someone to pass on the word." ”
The gentleman leaned over, thanked and thanked, and then hurried away.
The sound of reading in the small courtyard gradually weakened, and soon no movement was heard, Mu Qing frowned lightly and shook his head, and walked into the hidden path leading into the small courtyard. As soon as he entered the hospital, he heard Du He's half-sentence with grievances coming with the morning breeze. “…… They just sneered, saying that I was originally Du Ling's grandson, and no matter how bad I was, I had a good lintel, but now it is good, and I have become the heir of a five-rank official, and I will be a dwarf everywhere in the future. ”
"My father's meritorious deeds, it is said that he should have been crowned the prince of the country a long time ago, but now he has only obtained an official title from the fifth grade, which is really boring. I heard outside that my mother had a close relationship with Princess Qin, and she was inseparable from her two years earlier. There is also Aunt Yinghua, who has outstanding military achievements, but she is not as good as those mediocre people. If you want me to say, my father and mother are too cowardly, and the glory that is clearly displayed can be obtained by reaching out to it, but they do not know how to fight for it. "This is Du Go's voice.
"Hey, Little Beard!" Du He exclaimed contemptuously, "You were born in this mansion and have stayed longer than our brothers, but you have told us something about the situation in this mansion." ”
After a long pause, Fang heard Fu Yanyan reply in a general way: "Aunt said that let us read our own books, Ayan never thought about this. ”
Du Wei laughed eatingly, "Yes, you are a son of a family, the title of Ronghua has nothing to do with you, it is useless to think about it, practice your muscles and bones well, and I will reward you as the leader of the nursing home in the future, how about it?" ”
Mu Qing only felt that his blood qi was retrograde, and his hot blood rushed straight to the top of his head, and he stood at the door and took a few deep breaths before he could calmly push the door in. Du Gou and Du He in the house were stunned when they saw her come in, their faces were a little sneering, Du He was younger, and he looked away from Mu Qing with a weak heart.
"Ayan, go to the front yard to find your Aunt Yinghua to practice her fists and feet." Mu Qing tried his best to stabilize his emotions, and walked away with a pleasant face. Fu Yanyan got up from his seat, remembered what Mr. had taught him, bowed to Mu Qing dignifiedly, and walked out of the room silently.
Mu Qingshui glanced at the two brothers sitting with their heads bowed in the room, opened their mouths, and before the words came out, a string of sighs came out of his heart, these two children, no matter what happened in the past, are now Du Ruhui's sister-in-law after all, or they should be raised by him personally. At the moment, she didn't think much about it, and forcibly suppressed the anger that had burned in her chest, only added a few words of reproach, and secretly thought about waiting for the matter in front of her to be over, and then discuss it with him carefully.
Before leaving, I felt uneasy, and repeatedly dropped the words, "Don't go out for a walk recently, only work hard in the courtyard, why don't you tell me, don't go out of the house without permission, but you understand?" I don't theorize about today's events, and if I violate your father's taboo again, don't blame me for not protecting me. As he spoke, he deliberately turned to Du Wei, "As the eldest brother, you are now fourteen years old, you should know some things, I don't need to say more about the truth of prudence in words and deeds, and I also have to restrain my younger brothers more, don't teach them to talk nonsense everywhere, and make your father worry less." ”
The two of them knew that they were ashamed, how could they dare not be, so they responded repeatedly, holding back their dissatisfaction, and respectfully sent Mu Qing out of the courtyard.
……
Two hundred miles away from Chang'an City, in an abandoned house on the outskirts of Yongzhou, Wang Shichong, who had just settled down, was looking at the bright moon in the sky through the crooked and broken window lattice, and Qinghui covered his heart ventricles, which made him breathe a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart: this King of Qin looked at the age of only twenty-four or five, but he could really come up with some ideas in front of the emperor, and a few days ago, the edict that his clan would be exiled to Shu Land together, and the jailer guarding him was busy moving and escorting him on the road.
All the way he tried his best to cooperate, no matter how anxious he was, he never spit out a word of complaint, and urged his wife and concubines to hurry up, until he went out of Chang'an City and entered Yongzhou, he looked at Chang'an City from afar, and sighed with his heart, but it can be regarded as leaving Chang'an City, which taught him to be frightened for a while, and the head on the neck is saved, what about Shuzhou, and talk about the world after three or five years.
At this moment, he was looking at the jade plate and silver moon looking at the sun, and his heart was about to give rise to a little hesitation, and he heard someone outside the house muttering loudly: "Daxing Palace has a graceful will, and the sinner Wang Shichong has not come out to kneel and take it?" ”
Grace? Wang Shichong raised his eyebrows, this front foot just went out of Chang'an, and the back foot was in a hurry, could it be that he was going to be recalled for other use? According to the saint in the Daxing Palace, the appeasement will be re-entitled, and it is not a matter of three or two, and this situation is not the same now......
He busily dusted off his unrecognizable coarse cloth robe, tucked the strands of half-white hair that were scattered behind his head, and with the usual seriousness on his face, he strode from the dark and dilapidated room to the center of the courtyard.
A broad figure stepped in from outside the gate, and through the afterglow of the full moon that was obscured by the clouds, Wang Shichong caught a glimpse of the person who entered the door holding a long and narrow object in his hand, which was probably the grace that the night had chased. He hurriedly unwrapped his robe and knelt down in the courtyard, waiting for the announcement of the decree.
"Dingzhou Assassin Dugu Xiude, I came to send one to the prince." Suddenly, no footsteps could be heard, and no small speech was heard directly above his head. Dugu Xiude...... This surname seems to have something to do with him, but for a while I don't know who Dugu Xiude is, so he only said that he had a grace to declare, and now how can he say that he has come to send him? Wang Shichong's mind quickly raced for a breath or two.
"By the way, I also invited the prince to accompany the eldest prince of the Du family." The voice that claimed to be the assassin of Dingzhou said lightly above his head again, mentioning the eldest son of the Du family, Wang Shichong raised his head in shock, followed the voice, and finally picked out the names of Dugu Ji and Du Maoxing in the long blood-soaked directory in his memory, just like many other names in the list, they all died in the killing of his own hands that he didn't care about.
In front of him, the Dingzhou assassin Dugu Xiude must be the heir of Dugu Ji, and Du Maoxing is also involved in something, this is ...... Coming to beg for his life? The man was holding a grace in his hand, and it was clearly a broad-faced knife with a cold glow.
Wang Shichong was about to tear open his throat to call people the moment he woke up, and as soon as he opened his mouth, before he could make a sound, there was an extremely cold and sharp cold wind around his neck, and his knees kneeling on the ground did not even move a minute, and his whole body fell down, and a long blood mark dragged out from his head before touching the ground, and his bones rolled to the side.
Dugu Xiude took out a cloth from his arms, leaned over and wrapped the whole head into the cloth, made it into a burden, turned his head with the burden and left, strode to the door, turned over the horse, and galloped with a whip. The thick plasma dripped into the ground into a line of blood beads, and the interval between the blood beads became larger and larger, and when they reached the loess official road, they were no longer visible.
Dugu Xiude stepped on this official road that extended to Chang'an City, because he held the letter all the way and was not checked, and when the sky was slightly bright on the third day, he finally reined in his horse at the foot of an adobe mountain near Duling. There are many tombs under the mountain, and they are neatly repaired, and it is obvious that they are the family tombs of large families.
He jumped off the horse with his baggage, and a person in front of him strode towards him in the crimson morning light, Dugu Xiude stared at it, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Du Changshi, Xiude has fulfilled his mission, and has brought Brother Ling's sacrificial vessel." ”
"Brother Dugu works hard." The calm voice broke through the dark red glimmer that wrapped him, his tall figure swayed, and he bowed down, "Du Keming thanked the eldest brother under the spring. ”
Dugu Xiude hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Du Changshi Mo wants to say this, Wang Shichong's old thief is not the revenge of my Dugu family, Xiude's father, brother and uncle all died under his knife, and now Meng Du Changshi has planned and arranged, and he can slash the enemy's family, how happy, how can there be hard work." ”
Because he was in the family tomb of the Du family, it was inconvenient for Dugu Xiude to talk more, so he bowed slightly to the tomb of Du Maoxing behind Du Ruhui, said two words of farewell, and left.
Du Gou Du Huo stepped forward silently, surrounded Du Ruhui, opened the burden that exuded a strong bloody smell in front of the tomb, placed the wine utensils and sacrificial fruits, and then bowed down on the incense in silence. Mu Qing glanced at the head that was still clearly covered with horror and doubt on his face, and then looked at Shiro who was wide-eyed with curiosity on his side, quietly moved back two steps and knelt down to salute, and then hugged Shiro's little head in his arms, so as not to teach him to be frightened after seeing that terrible scene.
After a long time, the sky was already bright, and Du Ruhui's deep voice seemed to be still in the dark night, "Ah Go, Ah He, I will worship your father again." Now that the grudge is over, you should be at ease in your studies, and from then on, you should be hardworking, be upright, and not teach your father to be disappointed. ”
"Remember my father's teachings." Du Gou took Du He to give Du Ruhui a salute first, then turned to the tombstone, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times seriously, and made a grand wish.
Du Ruhui stepped forward and raised his foot, kicked the head in front of the tomb into the distance, and crossed an arc in mid-air, and he didn't know where it fell.
"What is Daddy doing?" Shiro's head arched out of Mu Qing's arms, tilted his head and stared at Du Ruhui's back, and couldn't help but ask.
Mu Qing raised his eyes to look at the outline of her familiar body, rubbed Shiro's little head, and said softly: "There is something that may stain your uncle's grave, and your father is in order." ”
Shiro looked into the distance as if he didn't understand, and he had long since lost the thing that Daddy kicked out, so he had to lean on Mu Qing's arms in a daze, 1152
