Chapter Seventy-Four: No Old Man Seen

The sun climbed to the top of the elm tree.

The government soldiers rushed back from outside the city one after another to report the news, and it seemed that the situation in the suburbs was not optimistic. The people of the county government and even the people of the city were terrified.

"Your Highness, after the people and horses are reorganized, do you want to set off immediately?" Ninety thousand came to ask. His heirloom black knife is still in his hand.

"Has any county officials returned to the city?" "Not really."

"Okay, let's go!" Qu Yi put on the sword and walked towards the atrium. Yuan Lingjun held his beloved jade-topped black horse, and followed suit. "You stay in the house, don't go out." Qu Yi didn't look back.

The attendant in front of the Hou Lifu handed over the horsewhip, and he held the sword in one hand and gathered the horsewhip in his palm.

"Let me go, I won't cause trouble for you, I just want to help you." Yuan Lingjun hurriedly explained.

"You can't help anything at the moment, but you're going to drag everyone down." Qu Yi's voice floated out of the house door like catkins in the wind.

"The situation is critical, and Ling Junxiu wants to mess around." The Emperor scolded behind her.

Yuan Lingjun stopped moving, the jade-topped black horse spewed a hot breath near her neck, she gently stroked the horse's mane, and peeked at it. The monarch walked back to the inner room under the support of Mao Sheng, he seemed to be not very comfortable, his body bowed slightly, and he did not look as tall and majestic as usual.

"Let Ninety Thousand look at her."

The Emperor Taishang sat down on the seat, instructed Mao Sheng, raised his hand as a fist against his lips, and a rapid cough immediately came from between his fingers.

Mao Sheng turned behind him and pushed the emperor's vest: "Your Majesty, don't be angry." If the young gentleman annoys His Majesty, the old slave will ask you for the guilt. ”

"Why do you want to ask for sin, I have been angry to death a hundred and eighty times. I'm angry ......" The Emperor Taishang was full of anger and slapped his palm on a few: "The old horseman of the Xu family should be chopped up with a thousand knives, chopped and fed to the dogs." He coughed even more violently.

Emperor Taishang slowly stopped coughing: "Okay Maosheng, I'm just upset, you go and bring the wine." ”

Mao Sheng stopped his hand and leaned beside him to persuade: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is important." ”

The Emperor closed his eyes and ignored his admonitions.

Kwai County is located on the border of Chu Huai, is the meeting place of many vassal states, because of disputes, it is still governed by the county officials appointed by the imperial court, not governed by the princes, because it is an independent county, military, agricultural production, hand-weaving and other aspects are relatively lagging behind, not compared with the small counties under the rule of the princes, it is because of the backwardness of Kwai County, the population is thin, the army is insufficient, there are often scattered tribes of Nanzhao across the border harassment, the adjacent princes have no help, every encounter, but also need to dispatch the people of Kwai County. He didn't even know about it.

"Would you like a cup of sweet liquor? The son came over to accompany the monarch's father. ”

The Emperor opened his eyes, and the orange and red flower trees in front of the door were dazzling. As if hallucinating, he slowly turned his gaze back to him. Yuan Lingjun bared his teeth and smiled at him.

"Father, when my son came in, he suddenly remembered something." Yuan Lingjun picked up the cup and walked to the emperor's side.

The Emperor Taishang took the wine lord, paused when he approached his lips, and looked at her: "What do you think?" ”

"The first time I saw my father, I was climbing on the wall, and my father happened to pass by and saw it, so he asked the child why he was climbing the wall."

The Emperor Taishang remembered clearly that the sixth girl at that time was five years old, like a hairy monkey jumping up and down. The Emperor Taishang drank it all and looked at Jue suspiciously, "This wine?" ”

"It's pulp, not wine." Yuan Ling succeeded and laughed.

The Emperor's face twitched, and he couldn't laugh or cry a little. He forgot about his predicament for a while, and looked at the sixth girl seriously: "How did you answer at that time?" ”

"Go to the other side of the wall and live the life of a princess. Just then, it occurred to Er that although Er got the life of a princess, he had to continue to think about how to live. ”

The sunlight shining on the tiles in front of the door was partially gone, and the rest of the light became fainter, probably because the sun was setting in the west. Emperor Taishang said: "The sun is going to set in the west, and the night is coming." Lingjun, Fan cage is everywhere, the father can save you once or twice, it is impossible to save you for a lifetime, you are still young, energetic, and soon you will become the old man's dependence, and the old man is like the sunset, the sunset will set, and the old man will eventually die. ”

Yuan Lingjun tilted his head in contemplation, looked up at the wooden tree in the courtyard, the little lady of the county government sat under the tree with her cheeks, not far away, 90,000 held the knife and stood motionless.

Yuan Lingjun came back to his senses and looked at his father intently: "The old man is not in good health, go over there and drink less." ”

"The little hairy boy is also in charge of the old man's house." Emperor Taishang said, "If you don't fight for it, don't blame your father for chasing you to Changshan and knocking you on the whip." ”

Can you not mention the whip? Yuan Lingjun rolled his eyes in his heart.

The servants of the palace ran into the courtyard, and they were awakened by a strange noise, thinking that the Nanzhao bandits had rushed into the city. Once the danger comes, the people of Kui County will be soldiers, and their souls will not possess their bodies.

"I'm going to live well. My son is relieved to go to Lin'an. The emperor moved his lips as if he had not finished speaking, and Yuan Ling had already retreated outside the door.

She suddenly turned around and smiled brightly at the Emperor.

The Emperor Taishang was slightly stunned, and his whole body trembled. Under the purple peach tree, gardenia yellow clothes, big sleeves flying, the young woman smiled at him: "When the concubine and the child of His Majesty are adults, His Majesty will give him a good horse, I heard that there is a good horse that can step on Beigong Mountain." ”

Beigong Mountain is still there, but the old people are not coming.

At night, countless guards and attendants poured into the mansion, but for a moment, the atrium was illuminated brightly by candles.

The house was boiling again, and the servants watched in silence. The returning sergeants seemed to have crawled out of a sea of blood, their hair disheveled, their armor mutilated, and their bare skin stained.

Fan Xin passed through the exhausted crowd, silently came to the stone pier under the tree and sat down, untied his outer robe, bit off a strip of cloth from the hem of his inner garment, and skillfully tied a knot on his left wrist.

They had gone through a vicious battle, which was fought in broad daylight and lasted until night, when everyone was hungry and thirsty, and their bodies had long since been exhausted.

Qu Yi finally walked in from the outer courtyard and stood on the high platform under the corridor: "Prepare dry food and water slurry, and set off in a moment." ”

Kunjiao was ready to give him a wide coat, but Qu Yi blocked it with one hand: "Go and call the lord, we have to set off overnight, don't delay." ”

Looks like things aren't going well. Kun Jiaoyi ran into the house: "Lord, the big thing is not good. Yuan Lingjun sat up suddenly.

When Qu Yi entered the house, Yuan Lingjun was wearing his outer robe in a panic, and his deep clothes were crooked.

Qu Yi pulled the lotus canopy on the raft and wrapped Yuan Lingjun in his pocket. "We're going out." He whispered in her ear.

"Are we going to abandon the people of Kwai City and leave?" There was a muffled grunt coming from the cloak.

He took her in his arms and walked out, explaining: "There are officials in Kwai County who secretly colluded with Nanzhao to open the city gate without permission and put in a group of Hetuo people. Their purpose is to assassinate us and others. ”

There was a carriage parked outside the county government, and Zhang Zhongshu, who was covered in blood, rode his horse to protect him, ready to set off at any time.

Qu Yi strode towards the jade-topped black horse, hugged Yuan Lingjun to the horse, and stuffed the horse rope into her hands.

The Emperor lifted the curtain and poked out his haggard face. Qu Yi approached the car: "Father." ”

"The "Beigong Mountain Fu" you wrote in the Jin Palace is very good, I have read it many times, and I also let the princess read it, the princess is always perfunctory, after I got sick, I ordered someone to lock it in the book, if there is a chance, let Mingyu take a look." Emperor Taishang trembled and pointed his finger at Mao Sheng, who was holding a vermilion lacquer square box in his arms.

"It's a birthday gift for her."

Qu Yi took the box and handed it to 90,000, and said solemnly: "Erchen thanked Mingyu on behalf of him." The monarch went south to Yunzhou, take care. ”

The draperies fell, cutting off the view from the inside and outside.
