Chapter 011: The Man Under the Wall
Yun Xiao waved at Gongziqing, "So, farewell." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Gongziqing smiled back and walked back to the backyard.
Qing Huan was still a little confused, so he ...... Gone? Seeing that she didn't move, Yun Xiao was a little displeased and wanted to pull her left arm. She reflexively shrank back half of her body, and when she came back to her senses, it turned out that the "farewell" he said was not one person, but two people.
Yun Xiaojun's eyes swept towards her, "What?" ”
Qing Huan said: "I promised the second brother to wait here for him to come back." ”
The young man frowned slightly, "Second brother? ”
She was about to nod, but heard Yun Xiao say, "He can't come back." ”
Her heart suddenly felt like a heavy blow, and her voice trembled a little, "You...... What do you mean? ”
At this time, Danzhu changed into dry clothes and came out of the room, and when he saw that her face was pale, and he didn't know what was happening, he came forward to hug her. The little girl's body was soft, but she couldn't feel any warmth, and her eyes were staring at Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao glanced at her lightly and said, "Yesterday evening, the army of the Kingdom of Ku was already in formation outside Xinsu City, and Gongyi Xiu was unable to return to the sky. ”
Xinsu can be said to be the last barrier in the southeast of the national capital, and the capture of Xinsu not only shows that most of the country has been lost, but also the national capital will be driven straight into by the people. She couldn't help muttering, "How come, second brother ......" The second brother seems to be weak, but in fact, he is iron-clad and would rather bend. If he leaves the country and is defeated, and a man like him refuses to surrender, he will only die.
She was almost so anxious that she burst into tears, "You, can you accompany me to save my second brother?" She looked at him with a look of anticipation, tears welling up in her eyes.
He just looked away coldly and refused mercilessly, "Forgive me." ”
She gritted her teeth and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Sister Gongyi!"
Xu is look on her face was too resolute and desperate, and Danzhu called her with a small face, full of anxiety and worry.
Qing Huan leaned down and hugged her for a while, then took out the flying sword and headed towards the northern sky.
From beginning to end, the young man in white not only did not stop him, nor did he look up at the sky. In the backyard, the man who looked like a spring flower looked at each other through the window, and his eyes showed a hint of playfulness.
The farther north you go, the colder it gets, and after you pass the river, the ground beneath your feet is already white, which is very different from the scene in the south.
Qing Huan looked at the heavy clouds overhead, and there was snow in the sky again. The fluttering snowflakes slapped on her cheeks, and the cold wind blew like knives, but she was secretly glad that she was able to resist the sword. On the road under her feet, she and her second brother had been traveling for so many days, but now, it only took her half a day to return to the country from Jianghai Yushenglou.
The southeastern territory has been largely lost, and the scarlet banner of the Gaotang Dynasty is flying everywhere. She had discussed with her second brother the situation after the army of the Kingdom of China marched westward, but she did not expect that the country would be destroyed so quickly. Is it the rotten system or the sloppy people's hearts that are in trouble?
But these are naturally not questions that she will think about. Only the face of the second brother Qingjun appeared in front of her eyes. Although the parents are all in charge of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, it is always the second brother who really makes the idea. The second brother, who loves his younger siblings the most, has always been calm and unhurried, and his eyes are so clear that they seem to be a clear spring. At this time, where will he be?
She gradually flew over the national capital, and the city gate was already under martial law. Although the army of the Kingdom of Ku only besieged Xinsu City and did not send it, in the national capital, it was full of depression, and there were not even a few people on the street. Born in troubled times, everyone is in danger. Today's Xinsu City, as well as the national capital behind it, are like fat meat under the tiger's mouth, and when it is swallowed, it is only the mood of the tiger that can be seen.
Without hesitation, she flew towards the Gongyi family's house. I wanted to land directly in the garden, but after thinking about it, I stopped outside the gate. Like other homes in the capital, the doors of the Gongyi House are closed. She stepped forward and buckled the door knocker, but no one answered for a long time. The snow in front of the door was knee-deep, and she couldn't make out the slightest rut marks, and she felt that something was wrong, so she jumped into the wall with a light sigh.
The inside of the wall is the same as the outside of the wall, there is snow everywhere, but there is no trace of family activities. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she searched for it, although she didn't find anyone, but she saw that the furnishings in the house were in an orderly manner, which showed that they were not in a hurry, and they didn't seem to be coerced. She felt a little at ease, but she was still apprehensive, and walked to her yard in small steps, wanting to change into thicker clothes, and then slowly think about where to find her family and second brother.
After changing her clothes, she was already dressed as a daughter, and as soon as she closed the door, she heard a slight noise in the courtyard behind her, and she cautiously touched the backyard, but saw a little old man, sitting under the eaves with his arms crossed, boiling water around the stove.
She fixed her eyes and saw her, and the old man saw her. Both of them were happy on their faces, and they called each other together, "Uncle Zhang? "Miss?"
Uncle Zhang hurriedly greeted him, "Why is Miss back?" ”
She didn't answer the rhetorical question, "What about my grandmother and brother?" ”
Uncle Zhang's face was even more surprised, "On the second day when the young lady and the second young master left, the old lady, the eldest young master, and the third young master also left together, doesn't the young lady know?" ”
Her eyes were filled with surprise, "Leave?" Where did they go? ”
Uncle Zhang thought about it and said, it seems that he went to Cangguo, in short, it was the second young master's idea.
She was silent for a moment, and the second brother's thinking was always much more thoughtful and meticulous than she thought. But he arranged his family so well, so what should he do with himself?
Uncle Zhang said: "The second young master came back a few days ago, and asked me to take good care of my family and went to the palace, but I never came back, and I thought the young lady was also ......."
She didn't have time to listen carefully to the next words, so she vaguely said a few words to Uncle Zhang, and then flew to the direction of Wangcheng with her sword, and she didn't care that Uncle Zhang was stunned behind her.
It's very far from the palace, but she doesn't know where to find her second brother. The only thought in my heart was to rush to his side and take him to his grandmother and others for a reunion at a critical moment.
She thought to herself, not noticing that she was already flying low. The guards patrolling the palace occasionally looked up and saw her, stretched out their fingers and pointed to the air, "Fairy, fairy......"
She was noncommittal, thinking it would be better to find someone to ask.
The atmosphere of the big battle made many people a little depressed and irritable, and the leading guards were no exception. While scolding and slapping the yelling guard, he also looked up. At this moment, all the guards were stunned.
She was just about to speak on the ground, but she heard another person tremble in a trembling voice: "I heard that there are also such flying feather people on the side of the country, this can't be the assassin spy they sent......
At present, the soldiers and civilians who have left the country are all talking about the change of color, and where can this word be returned, everyone bends their bows and arrows to aim at her. Qing Huan wanted to open his mouth to argue, but he was afraid that if he didn't fly farther, there would be countless transparent holes on his body in the next moment. was tense, but saw a person dressed in a gorgeous costume, with high temples, his hair swayed gently as he walked, and walked out of the palace.
Qing Huan was stunned, it turned out that he had bumped into Princess Tan Yi by mistake. Princess Tan Yi also recognized her, and immediately waved her hand to stop everyone, "Stop." ”
A cadre of guards immediately put down their fights. Qing Huan accepted the flying sword, and before she could see her, Princess Tan Yi grabbed her wrist, and her face was overjoyed, "If the sky is not dead, I will wait, and I will be saved from the country!" ”
She looked inexplicable, but now she only cares about where the public ritual is cultivated. The princess saw her heart, took her hand into the palace, and said, "But you are here to find the right royal prince?" ”
She didn't know when the second brother would become the right royal prince, but she heard the princess say to others: "Go to my father and invite the right royal prince and tell him that the big thing should be decided." ”
The left and right royal ministers are the heads of the hundred officials who leave the country, and as soon as the public ceremony repairs the party is returned to the dynasty, it is enshrined as the right imperial prince by the emperor, and the status is still above the left imperial court. However, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and in such a stormy country, such a critical appointment does not bring any practical benefits, but instead ties his life to the royal family. Gongyi Xiu expected it first, so he sent his family away one step earlier.
"Now Lingjiang is frozen for more than three feet, and the Gao Tang Dynasty has passed by thousands of chariots and horses without an inch of cracking, and there is no worry about reinforcement and supply. The army was divided into three routes, and within half a month, it had connected the twelve cities of our country. Princess Tan Yi said, "If you want to break the enemy, you must first break the ice, this is also the plan of the right royal prince." ”
While waiting, Qing Huan still didn't understand why the princess wanted to say this to herself, but she continued, "According to what the right Yucheng said, there is a strange tree in the lower reaches of the Lingjiang River called 'Yangmu', which is not dead from freezing, not broken by fire, and not injured by swords. Now all you need to do is send someone to pick up the gum and light it in the river water......"
Qing Huan gradually understood the intention of what she meant by saying this to her. The woman in front of her who was planning the world made her wonder if it was the same person who was full of tears and whispered that night. Princess Chen Yi's eyes showed a terrifying light, and even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were not so obvious, but the tone in her mouth was extremely distressed, "Although this is the case, but at present, the southeastern cities are all in the hands of the army, and the right royal prince has been bothering who can do this......
As he spoke, the ceremony had arrived.
She had thought about meeting her second brother many times, but she didn't expect that the always gentle second brother would have a gloomy face when he saw her. After a few days of not seeing him, his face seemed to be whiter, and his whole person seemed colder.
"I know what the princess means." He said, "But Gongyi Xiu repaid the country with his body, but did not promise his sister's life to the princess, forgive me." As he spoke, he grabbed her wrist with him, but he didn't look at her out of the corner of his eye.
"Lord Gojo!" Princess Tan Yi said, "Time is running out! Why not ......"
Gongyi Xiu only made a slight gesture, and then left with the girl beside him. His steps were in a hurry, but the hand that grabbed her wrist never let go. When she arrived at the garden where he lived, she looked at his tense side face and couldn't help laughing.
Gongyi Xiu stopped and looked at her, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Qing Huan shook his sleeve flatteringly, "Good second brother," she said, "I know that second brother feels sorry for me and refuses to let me take risks." ”
This is a common trick used by her and her third brother to spoil the second brother, and the second brother has never been in a rut. Sure enough, Gong Yixiu's face softened and said, "Why don't you wait for me in the south?" Before she could answer, he sighed again and said, "Well, I know you're worried about me." ”
"Not only am I worried about the second brother," she said, "grandma, the eldest brother, and the third brother must also be worried about the second brother." The second brother took care of his family so well, did he not care about his own life? ”
Gongyi Xiu was silent, but his eyes gradually became deep, as if all kinds of complex and indescribable feelings were surging in his heart.
"I know that the second brother is attached to his homeland." She said, "Over the past year, my grandmother and brother and sister-in-law have loved me and protected me, and I have long regarded you as real relatives in my heart." So the second brother's homeland is my homeland, as long as the second brother wants to do something, I will help you do it. What's more, there are thousands of families like ours in this world, if because of my small act, fewer families are broken and displaced, then it will be worth it no matter what. By the way, second brother, I'm good at Edgeworth now, and there will be no problem......"
"Little sister ......," he interrupted.
She looked up at him, and as soon as Fang looked up, she crashed into a sturdy embrace.
