Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Peerless Son
Half a month later, a hundred herbs
After a few Xiaoxiao spring rains, Shiling Mountain is greener, and the river is also green. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and it has entered early summer. These days, the Herb House is much more lively than usual. Except for Zhao Qing, who is not idle on weekdays, Yin Chiyan and Xia Cao are tense every time they meet, both of them are children's tempers, and no one will let anyone. Yin Chiyan would only scare Xia Cao with a silver needle, and he was not afraid at all when he saw Xia Cao. simply took out the small ring and held it in his hand to scare him, who knew that Xia Cao was not only not afraid, but also very excited.
It turns out that the small ring raised by Yin Chiyan is a rare red ring snake in the world, which is extremely poisonous, but its venom can also be used in medicine to cure some extremely difficult diseases. Even the gall bladder, bones, and skin of this snake can be used in medicine. Xiao Xiacao, who inherited the fine tradition of the Baicao Immortals, saw this rare red ring snake, undoubtedly a wolf saw a sheep, and his eyes lit up. So he paid attention to Xiaohuan every day, and pestered Yin Chiyan all day long. She was originally arrogant, but she suddenly lost her momentum. can only hide from Xia Cao, in case she is unprepared that day, and catch Xiaohuan with realgar.
Yan Yunxi's injuries have been recuperated for half a month, and he has mostly recovered, except for the injuries on his back and the broken arm, which have not completely healed, he is basically fine. After delaying for so long, I don't know the situation in the capital, and I am worried about whether the Yan family is peaceful.
On this day, Zhao Qing and Xia Cao came back from finishing the herbs just now, and the winter worms came out to help clean up the herbs. Yin Chiyan saw Xia Cao coming back, and he didn't know where he was hiding. Zhao Qing put down the medicine basket in his hand and saw Yan Yunxi standing under the plane tree in front of the courtyard, staring into the distance and thoughtfully. The breeze came, and the black hair beside Yun Xi flew in the wind, slightly sad. Zhao Qing paced to his side, raised his hand to hold Yan Yunxi's arm, and smiled at him politely.
"What are you thinking?" Zhao Qing's voice was soft.
"It's nothing, we've been here for more than half a month. I don't know what happened to my grandfather, I'm just a little worried. Yun Xi smiled faintly, a little worried.
"Xuan Ming said that he would inform grandpa and send someone to pick us up. But there has been no news for so long, is there something going on in the capital? ”
"That's what I'm worried about." Speaking of this, Yan Yunxi's face became even more solemn.
"Yunxi, instead of worrying here, why don't we go back to Beijing as soon as possible?"
"I also thought so, but on the way back to Beijing, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful!" Yan Yunxi turned to Zhao Qing and held her hand, his original solemn expression turned to pity. "I don't want you to get into danger with me again, and I don't want to see you hurt."
"We are husband and wife, there is no doubt about living and dying with you, don't you want to leave me. Besides, these two injuries were all because they protected me. If you really want to talk about it, I'm the one who dragged you down. Zhao Qing half-lowered his eyes, revealing a bit of self-blame, feeling that he was useless and had become a drag on him.
"Then I will rely on you for the rest of my life and let you drag you down!" Yan Yunxi gently scratched Zhao Qing's nose, his eyes were full of pampering.
"How can you be so comforting." She covered her nose, although she said so, but she was very relieved in her heart.
He saw that Zhao Qing's cheeks were faintly flushed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. I gently took her into my arms and smelled the faint fragrance of plants and trees on her body, as well as her unique body fragrance. Zhao Qing also rested his head on his shoulder, enjoying the peace that belonged to the two of them at this moment.
"Yunxi, I've finally found you." A voice as warm as jade came from outside.
Zhao Qing and Yun Xi looked in the direction of the sound, and outside the fence, under the same plane tree, stood this person. He was tall and long, wearing a blue Yunxiang Fu Bat Power Suit, and only a white jade pendant on his waist. The neckline and cuffs of the indigo robe are trimmed with silver silk border flow moires, and a blue auspicious cloud wide-brimmed brocade is tied around the waist, and the jet-black hair is tied up, with a small silver crown inlaid with jade on the top. The white jade on the silver crown was crystal moist and made his black and smooth, like a color segment. The man was holding a group of brown and red horses, and the horses stood quietly beside their master, showing that he was even more heroic and free.
"Brother Su?" Yan Yunxi blurted out the man's surname.
"Brother Su!" Zhao Qing couldn't believe her eyes, the handsome man in front of her was actually the elegant son who had a conversation with her before, Su Muyun.
Su Muyun nodded and smiled at her, still as handsome as a spring breeze, an outstanding peerless son.
"Brother and sister, long time no see." Su Muyun's jade shattering voice reached Zhao Qing's ears again.
"Brother Su, how did you find here." With that, Yan Yunxi walked out of the gate and went to greet Su Muyun, and Zhao Qing also followed.
"It's a long story, it's the Xiangye who asked me to come here to find you." Su Muyun explained, tied the reins to the trunk of the tree, and patted the horse.
"Brother Su, it's hard work. All the way, come with me into the house, have a cup of tea, and rest. Yan Yunxi asked to lead the way for Su Muyun.
"Okay."
Su Muyun followed the two of them into the front yard, and the insects and summer grass in the courtyard stopped what they were doing when they saw a guest visiting. Seeing this, Yan Yunxi introduced them.
"Cordyceps, summer grass, this is my brother, Su Muyun." After speaking, he introduced Su Muyun again. "Brother Su, these two little miracle doctors are Cordyceps and Summer Grass. This time, thanks to their rescue, Qingqing and I were spared. ”
"Twilight thanked the two divine doctors and rescued my brother and sister." Su Muyun leaned over and thanked him.
"Su Gongzi is polite, curing the disease and saving people is what we should do. No need to be polite! Seeing that Su Muyun was so magnificent, humble and polite, Winter Worm and Xia Cao suddenly didn't know what to do. Especially Xia Cao, who is usually used to being casual, actually got serious, and was busy learning Su Muyun's appearance to return the salute, provoking Zhao Qing to cover his mouth and snicker.
"Big brother, please inside!" After Xia Cao glanced at Zhao Qing, she hurriedly invited this handsome boy with an extraordinary temperament into the house.
"Thank you!" Su Muyun smiled warmly and thanked him.
After inviting Su Muyun and the others into the house, Xia Cao cut a pot of tea and sent it into the house, and then went out. Su Muyun, Zhao Qing and Yan Yunxi were left to sit in front of the teahouse. The atmosphere is quite solemn, and the gentle and gentle young man on weekdays is also deeply locked between his eyebrows, and his face is sad.
"Brother Su, what happened? You're so melancholy. Looking at Su Muyun with a sad face, Yan Yunxi's heart also had a hint of ominousness.
"Yunxi, in fact, Xiangye has long wanted to take you back. But in the middle of this half month, there was an accident in the capital, and in just a few days, earth-shaking changes occurred. In order not to get you involved, so I have been looking for you. ”
"Oh? What's going on? Brother Su. Hearing this, Yan Yunxi obviously couldn't sit still, and his premonition was very bad.
"Three days after your disappearance, the news of Li Yuanhong, the hussar general guarding the border of Beiyan, suddenly came from outside the pass, and it was sent to the capital with an urgent secret report of 800 miles."
"What? General Li conspired against him, how could it be. Yan Yunxi obviously didn't believe that Li Yuanhong, who was loyal to the monarch and served the country for half his life, would commit this great crime of rebellion.
"I don't know the specifics. It is said that the person who risked death to come to report the secret was the general of the forward battalion under General Li, Wu Guoan. The secret guard said that General Li colluded with Beiyan and intended to wave his army south and openly rebel. Speaking of this, Su Muyun hesitated for a moment, and then continued. Originally, General Li's rebellion came to the strange thing, and what was even more strange was that on the second day of the secret report, King Xijin came to the capital, and also brought the Wu national teacher and 10,000 elite soldiers. The 10,000 elite soldiers were stationed fifty miles away from the capital. ”
"At this time, how can Xi Jin also get involved." Yan Yunxi doubted that General Li's rebellion was not as simple as it seemed.
"What's even more strange is that the emperor actually ordered the 50,000 garrison soldiers guarding the northwest of Nanling to unite with the fire spirit army of the Western Jin Kingdom to quell the rebellion of the Northern Yan rebel army. The emperor's move is undoubtedly to quench his thirst. There are no troops stationed in the northwest, and the national air defense is weak, and Xijin can take advantage of the weakness at any time and drive directly to my Nanling territory. Su Muyun's face was even more solemn, and the peerless son, who was originally calm and calm, also looked a little uneasy.
"It seems that the emperor really plans to move the Qi family." Hearing this, Yan Yunxi's face sank like water, and his previous speculation came true.
"Qi family? You are saying that General Lee's rebellion is a conspiracy. Was it the emperor who designed to eradicate the Qi family for the sake of the military power in the hands of General Qi? Su Duyun said in disbelief what he had speculated in his heart, the Qi family has been loyal for generations, and he is a great hero who followed the first emperor to conquer the Nanling country. Just because the emperor is suspicious, he can frame it so arbitrarily. Thinking of this, his heart was even heavier. "If that's the case, then our emperor is afraid that his plan is old."
Zhao Qing was terrified when she heard it on the side, she had heard Yan Yunxi mention that Qi Ba was his uncle, if the emperor really wanted to eradicate the Qi family, would he implicate Yan Yunxi? But it suddenly occurred to me that Li Yuanhong, the general of the Northern Yan Hussars, wasn't this the father of Li Meng that Wen Xuan mentioned to her before? The Zhao and Li families are still world friends, and Uncle Li had an accident, so where is Li Meng?
"Brother Su, how is General Li now?" Zhao Qing was quite uneasy in his heart, and his mood was a little anxious.
"A few days ago, the soldiers at the front came to report that General Li had been captured and had been killed. The morale of the army was disordered, and for this reason, Qin Shuai, who led the Northwest Army, strangled several generals under General Li in front of the soldiers stationed in Beiyan. He also said that General Li conspired against him, and all the soldiers were deceived by him, and if he returned to the emperor, he could be spared from death. When the soldiers saw that the commander had been killed, they had to obey. Su Muyun wondered why Zhao Qing cared so much about Li Yuanhong.
"What? Killed in the first place? That...... And what about Limmond? Was he strangled too? Hearing this, Zhao Qing's heart sank, and his emotions became excited. If Li Meng is really dead, then how should she explain to the real Zhao Qing.
"General Lee's son? It is said that on the day when the Northwest Army and the Fire Spirit Army arrived, Li Meng happened to be sent out to carry out military affairs, and he was not captured, so he must have escaped. ”
"That's... It's fine..."Zhao Qingchang took a breath and muttered in a low voice.
"What? Brother and sister know General Lee, father and son? Su Muyun was puzzled.
"The Zhao and Li families were originally world friends, and Brother Li Meng grew up with our sister and brother since he was a child, like a brother. I was just worried about this change in the Li family. Zhao Qing came back to his senses, explained a few words briefly, and concealed the relationship between Li Meng and the real Zhao Qing.
"Qingqing, don't worry, since the people sent by the emperor didn't catch General Li Meng, he must be fine for the time being." Yan Yunxi held Zhao Qing's hand and comforted.
"Yes!" Zhao Qing nodded carelessly, but was still a little worried. Remembering that Su Muyun should not have finished speaking, he said to him again. "Brother Su, I just interrupted you, don't worry about me, you go on."
"Good!" Su Muyun nodded.
