Chapter 284: The Beginning of Yiwei
Ten years later......
"You're here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Yuan Hyuk went up the mountain early as usual, and saw the person who took advantage of the mountain, for the past fourteen years, on this day every year, he has appeared here, and there has never been a break in the year.
Xiong Lie heard the voice, and then turned around, "It's here." ”
Yuan Hyuk put down the broom in his hand and walked to Xiong Lie's side, "Every year on this day, you will come." I'm guessing if you're going to be an exception today. ”
Xiong Lie smiled calmly, looking at the long-abandoned palace behind them, after the fire fourteen years ago, the palace here has long been burned to ruins, since the Yu Palace moved out of the wooden city, the abandoned palace under the Luoxiang Mountain has gradually been transformed into an ordinary family of ordinary households, and the palace on this mountain has been carefully cleaned and repaired by Yuan He every day, so it has been preserved at that time.
Fortunately, there is still such a place to remember, otherwise the traces of the woman's survival in this world would have completely disappeared.
"He hasn't been here yet." In Xiong Lie's words, he is naturally Yuan Jue.
"I'm afraid he hasn't put it down yet." Yuan He sighed, since the battle sealed the Phoenix God fourteen years ago, Yuan Jue has not been here since he left Luoxiang Mountain, who knows what he thinks in his heart, maybe he still can't let go of Niyin after so many years. Thinking about it, he turned sideways to look at Xiong Lie, in fact, everyone has their own way of missing, Yuan Jue refuses to remember, Xiong Lie refuses to forget.
Xiong Yeol noticed Won Hyuk's gaze, pondered for a moment, and probably guessed what he was thinking, the hint in that sentence was enough. "There are some things that are the best choice if you don't explain them, otherwise it will be embarrassing to even see each other, so why bother insisting on piercing it. Leaving some distance can make a friendship come true. ”
Yuan He naturally understood, so he didn't say much, looking at the disturbed world under Luoxiang Mountain, now there is no Yu Palace in Mucheng, and the city is full of people. "Yuan Jue is indeed a person suitable for being a monarch."
"Yu has him, and the territory has expanded to nearly half in the past ten years, and the four seas have been leveled, and the people of Yu are really enviable." Xiong Lie's words were from the bottom of his heart, he really admired Yuan Jue's courage, which also proved that he didn't look away at that time. "When I was in Yu some time ago, I heard that the woman who set the fire was another lady in the Yu Palace, and she still has something to do with Yuan Jue?"
"She is Mrs. Qimo, you should have heard of it, she and the later Concubine Yun are also from your Yibu." Yuan Hyuk reminded.
"Qimo? Is that the princess of the Ruhu tribe? In the early years, I heard rumors that she had an affair with the guards and had an ambiguous relationship with her maid. "Xiong Lie has only heard people mention that when it comes to generation, Qi Mo is a generation older than him, and when he grows up, the Yihu tribe has been eliminated by the Yu Kingdom.
"Mrs. Qimo is a wife of my father, who once teamed up with her maid Yun Chu to kill my mother, and Mrs. Qimo can be regarded as Yuan Jue's nominal mother." Yuan He obviously didn't want to mention the tragic death of Mrs. Ruyi, but since it had been a long time, it was time to let go, "During my reign, because I was exposed, I sent someone to investigate it strictly, and finally found out about Mrs. Qimo and Yun Chu. There is something subtle and strange about the relationship between the two of them. Later, it was found out that Yun Chu was Yuan Jue's biological mother, and for many years before, Yun Chu took care of Mrs. Qimo and Yuan Jue as a maid. I once thought that it was Mrs. Qimo who used witchcraft cholera in the palace to kill not only my mother, but also my father, so I punished her for gouging out her eyes and leaving her in my palace forever for reflection. ”
"Yun Chu, it's Concubine Yun." Xiong Lie understood the relationship between Yun Chu, Qi Mo and Yuan Jue. "Then how did Yun Chu die?"
"I don't know." Yuan Hyuk was indifferent, he couldn't guess whether what he said was really unknown, or he didn't bother to pursue it anymore. "After Mrs. Qimo set fire here, she died of illness in prison within a few days. I remember that Chang Yuan seemed to have mentioned to me that he overheard Ni Yin talking to someone, it seemed that Mrs. Qi Mo was tied to Ni Yin's fate because of some spell in the morning, if Ni Yin died, Mrs. Qi Mo would naturally not survive. ”
"So that's the case, when she started to set fire here, she was actually ready to die together." Xiong Lie smiled bitterly, Yun Chu's death may be inseparable from the phoenix, Qi Mo and Yun Chu are ambiguous, and they are even more crazy because of Yun Chu's death, she knows who killed Yun Chu, so she took the opportunity to take revenge on the phoenix to kill Ni Yin, and then she can be freed.
"Father!"
A heroic young man ran over and stood beside Xiong Lie, holding Xiong Lie's leg and looking at Won Hyuk.
"This is your son?" Yuan Hyuk asked, this child looks seven or eight years old, but it looks like Xiong Lie is carved out of a mold.
"Xiong Mi, don't you want to greet Master Gong?" Xiong Lie lowered his voice and scolded, he has always been very strict with his young son.
Xiong Mi let go of his hand and stood in front of Yuan He solemnly, facing this strange palace master, he hesitated and didn't know how to speak.
"Shizi." Another older boy came after him a little later, and he had already seen Xiong Lie and Yuan Hyuk from a distance, and he stepped up his steps and ran to him, leaning down respectfully, "Meet the king!" ”
Xiong Mi was still hesitating, but he saw that the young man raised his eyelids silently, and glanced at Xiong Mi quietly, Xiong Mi seemed to be encouraged by this glance, so he mustered up his courage and bowed his head to Yuan He, "Hello Master Gong." ”
"The junior meets the palace master." The boy turned around nimbly.
This is smart, Yuan Hyuk frowned slightly, he always felt that this child was familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen this child. "You are?"
The young man raised his head, looked at Xiong Lie, and saw that Xiong Lie did not stop him, so he replied to Yuan He's words, "Junior, Wei Shu." ”
"Wei Shu?!" Yuan He has been indifferent for many years, and he has already cultivated a temperament that is not shocked, but when he heard this name, he was still a little surprised, he never expected to see this child here after more than ten years.
"Does Master Gong denied that he was a junior?" Wei Shu was a little surprised when he heard Yuan He's tone, and faintly sensed something, so he asked tentatively.
"Shu'er," Xiong Lie opened his mouth and introduced to Wei Shu, "Your name is given by the wife of this palace master, and the lives of you and your mother were also saved by that lady desperately." There is a relationship between your parents and them. ”
Wei Shu listened to Xiong Lie's teachings, and after Xiong Lie finished speaking, Wei Shu looked at Yuan He for a moment, suddenly lifted the long hem of his shirt, and knelt down for Yuan He with a plop, "Wei Shu Xie Gong Master and Mrs. for their great kindness." ”
"I can't help it, get up quickly." Yuan He helped Wei Shu up, no wonder he felt familiar, this child's every move, word and deed was exactly the same as Cheng Jing at the beginning.
"Brother Wei Shu, why don't you ask, where is that lady?" Xiong Mi was curious about the lady that his father and the palace master had said.
After Wei Shu got up, after hearing Xiong Mi's words, the faces of the two adults were a little gloomy to varying degrees, so they waited by Xiong Mi's side, and seemed to persuade him, "Shizi, it's better for us not to ask about the adult's affairs, if you are interested, the adults will introduce you." ”
After Xiong Mi heard this, he nodded as if he understood.
Xiong Lie looked at the child he had cultivated with great satisfaction, and looked at Yuan He's reaction, Xiong Lie said to Wei Shu, "Shu'er, you take the prince around the mountain at will, don't go too far." ”
"Yes, Shu'er knows." Wei Shu was very strict, and said to Yuan He, "Master Gong, the junior will take the prince for a walk first, so as not to prevent the king from talking to the palace master." ”
Wonhyuk nodded.
Wei Shu pulled Xiong Mi and walked to the side with him.
"This kid is very similar to Cheng Jing." Wonhyuk looked at their departing backs, slightly uneasy.
"I don't have much friendship with Master Cheng, and when I left Mucheng to return to Yibu fourteen years ago, I happened to encounter bandits robbing a caravan on the way. I also happened to send a lieutenant general to investigate and take down the bandits, but unfortunately, most of the people in the caravan were killed by the bandits, including Shu'er's mother. Xiong Lie sighed, "The old woman who protects Shu'er is the nurse of Shu'er's mother. The two of them were still alive, and when I saw pity for them, I took them to Quxiong. ”
"That's not what I meant." Yuan He was still relieved, but looking at the back, he felt that he was still a child, even though he and Cheng Jing were father and son in name, but they were too similar. It's just that now, it's really hard to say anything, "It's just that you should be careful of that child." ”
Xiong Lie naturally didn't care, and just thought that Yuan Hyuk was making a big fuss. "Mi'er is my only son, and he is also the son who will inherit Qu Xiong in the future, I was worried about whether he could take care of everything in Qu Xiong alone, but now I am relieved to see Shu'er's appearance towards Mi'er."
……
Another two years later.
"Your Majesty, uncle......" Yuan Xu couldn't help but disturb Yuan Jue's dream.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Jue leaned on the sickbed, his face looked a little bleak, when Yuan Xu entered the door, he saw that Yuan Xu was not quite right, so he put down a pair of jasper in his hand, and waited for Yuan Xu to open his mouth before asking. "Didn't my uncle give you the power to govern? If it's nothing particularly important, you can just deal with it, and you don't have to ask. ”
Yuan Xu lowered his head, his brows were tightly locked, since the fight began two years ago, Yuan Jue's body and bones have been worse day by day, and in the past two years, he has gradually delegated power, and gradually handed over the power of the government to his son, and now looking at his uncle's serious illness, Yuan Xu is really not sure whether he should tell him about it at this time.
"Say it." Yuan Jue waited deliberately, he knew that Yuan Xu was a steady child, and if it wasn't for a particularly important situation, he wouldn't easily disturb himself. Especially when he just saw him looking down and thinking, Yuan Jue couldn't help but wonder what was going on, and Yuan Xu thought that there was a reason to tell him.
Hearing Yuan Jue's two words, Yuan Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still carried a heart and said cautiously, "The news that has just been reported by Yibu is ......"
"Huh?" Yuan Jue waited for him to continue.
Yuan Xu paid attention to Yuan Jue's reaction, and his heart was horizontal, "The king of Quxiong, Xiong Lie, is dead." ”
Yuan Jue suddenly gasped, and couldn't react for a while, Xiong Lie died? After waiting for a while, he recovered a little, and found that Yuan Xu was still carefully observing his every move, "Say it." ”
Yuan Xu was instructed, and seeing that Yuan Jue's mood was not too much of a bully, "Quxiong is in civil strife, according to the news, it is a close subordinate of the Quxiong King Xiong Lie, who called Wei Shu to lead people to attack the camp, forced the Quxiong King to death, and slaughtered the Quxiong King's son, Xiong Mi. Wei Shu changed and established himself as king. ”
"Wei Shu ......" Yuan Jue recalled, as if he had heard the name somewhere.
"It is said that he is the adopted son of King Quxiong, who is not very old, sixteen or seventeen years old." Yuan Xu told Yuan Jue the news he got one by one.
"Sixteen or seventeen years old, ruthless enough." Yuan Jue didn't remember where he had heard this name, but in the end, it was a pity for Xiong Lie, "He is also a hero, I haven't seen him for many years, I didn't expect it to end up like this." ”
Xiong Lie once single-mindedly unified the Yi Ministry, but this wish has not yet been fully realized, and the Yi Bu has not yet been unified, he actually died in the hands of his adopted son, and even his own son has not been able to escape the catastrophe.
Yuan Xu still lowered his head and didn't speak, but he didn't mean to quit.
Yuan Jue was suspicious, "Is there anything else?" ”
"This news ......" Yuan Xu didn't dare to say it directly, but he had to say, "This news was sent by Wei Shu." ”
Yuan Jue was stunned, but he quickly understood what Yuan Xu meant, "The news was sent by Wei Shu?" In other words, after Wei Shu killed his adoptive father and son, he took the initiative to have someone send you a message, probably to show peace to you. ”
"Yes." Yuan Xu was so embarrassed, it was precisely because of this matter, "Xu Er knew the relationship between His Majesty Uncle and King Qu Xiong, so he didn't dare to make a decision rashly, Wei Shu wrote a book, indicating that he intended to be friendly with my Yu country, and it also explained that he inherited the benefits of my Yu country after inheriting Qu Xiong, Xu Er just saw that what he said did have some truth, Wei Shu was so ruthless at a young age, I am afraid that his future achievements will not be under King Qu Xiong, so Xu Er wanted to ask His Majesty Uncle how he thought of this matter. ”
"Xu Er," Yuan Jue secretly stroked the pair of jasper in his hand, "Since you have your own idea, just do it." No matter who Quxiong is the king, but if it is beneficial to my Yu country, it can be considered. The position you want to inherit in the future, of course, you must take into account the righteousness of your friends, but you must first put the interests of Yu Kingdom first. Now that you know what kind of person Wei Shu is, Uncle believes that you can naturally handle the relationship with him. I miss my old friends, but that's just my business, do you understand? ”
Yuan Xu listened and nodded, "Xu Er understands." ”
In the winter of the same year, Yuan Jue died, and Yuan Xu, the son of Yu Kingdom, succeeded Yu Jun, adhering to Yuan Jue's last wishes, and buried him in Shaoshan, and the burial items were only a chain with a bell. Zhaohua jasper has been passed down from generation to generation and is the treasure of Yuguo. (To be continued.) )
