Chapter 21: Past Lives

When he walked to the door, Jiang Rong looked at a horse tied to a peach tree at the corner of the yard, and couldn't help but wonder, who tied the horse to their yard?

She looked at it carefully, and the more she looked at the horse, the more familiar it felt, as if she had seen it somewhere. But I couldn't remember it for a long time.

Before stepping into the courtyard, Jiang Rong heard the sound of talking from inside, and she was happy in her heart, could it be that A-Niang was already well? Otherwise, how can you talk to Aunt Wang?

"This, you see, Ah Rong has been out for a day today and hasn't come back, and Ah Rong and her mother have been asleep, why don't you come back tomorrow?" This is the voice of Aunt Wang.

The next moment, a young man's voice in the period of voice change sounded, "I'll just wait here." ”

"Uh, that's not a big deal, is it? You-"

"Auntie, I'm back! Who are you talking to? Jiang Rong walked into the house with Jiang Yu in his arms, followed by Ah Lan.

As soon as she saw Jiang Rong, Aunt Wang immediately greeted her and said angrily: "You kid, why are you only back now?" Have you ever eaten it? If you don't have something to eat, I'll make you some of it, so I can deal with it. Hey, how do you dress up like that? ”

Turning her head to see Ah Lan behind her, she was stunned again, "This is-"

Jiang Rong hurriedly responded: "Auntie, I've eaten, don't bother." This is Ah Lan, yes-" Before she could make up an identity for Ah Lan, a figure suddenly caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye.

The next moment, Jiang Rong's eyes widened, he looked at the masked young man sitting in the hall, and blurted out: "Why are you at my house?" ”

This question, with three points of surprise and seven points of anger, was so loud that the roof shook, and several people present were startled.

Jiang Yu, who was asleep, was directly frightened by this sound and woke up from his dream, he looked at Jiang Rong with his big misty eyes, "Sister ......"

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, Sister is here, you can sleep peacefully......" Jiang Rong hugged Jiang Yu's body and shook him gently, and coaxed him to sleep again.

She turned to Aunt Wang again and said, "Auntie, you sit down for a while, and then come and talk to you when I carry Ah Yu back to the room." ”

"Oh, okay, you go, you don't have to greet me." Aunt Wang waved her hand, looking very unruly.

Jiang Rong said to Ah Lan, who was standing on the side, "Ah Lan, you're welcome, find a place to sit by yourself, there is tea on the table." ”

After greeting around, the masked boy was left unnoticed.

Aunt Wang felt embarrassed for her, and said to him curtly: "That, Ah Jiu, don't care, our Ah Rong is still young, and he is a straight person, where is there anything inconsiderate for a while, you don't remember the villain, but don't worry about her." ”

As a result, the masked boy, that is, Xiao Jiu, ignored it, not that he was unapproachable, but that he was so shocked at the moment, so he didn't come back to his senses at all.

Didn't Jiang Arong, the eldest daughter of the Master, die today?

February 19, the spring of the 31st year of Jianchang. The time is right, this is the day. He remembered it clearly, because Master had told him more than once that it would be nice if he came back a few days earlier. Come back a few days earlier, then the tragedy of Qiē will not happen.

It's a pity that there is no such thing as an if, and by the time the master rushed back, Yiqiē had been unrecognizable, and the originally perfect and warm family had become fragmented.

Master's eldest daughter, Ah Rong, was pushed down on the threshold and broke her head, because she didn't call a doctor in time, she didn't survive until the next day and died.

The second son, Jiang Yu, was abducted and trafficked to the county seat, and his life and death are unknown. The master has been looking for him for a long time, but there has been no whereabouts for him.

Shi Niang was burned to death by a fire, and the youngest son Ping Ge'er should have been buried in the fire with him, but the master only found Shi Niang's bones under the rubble of the house. So the master always suspected that Brother Ping'er was kidnapped by someone.

Later, the master seemed to have found Brother Ping'er's whereabouts, but for some unknown reason, he did not recognize him.

So after waking up from rebirth, Jiang Li is also the current Xiao Jiu, and he rode all the way to here on a dark cloud and snow horse. Qingzhou, Yishan County, Yongan County, Taohua Village, Qingxia Town, he has always kept this location firmly in mind. Because this place carries the pain and regret of Master's life.

Later, when Master passed away, he helped Master remember.

On the way, he didn't even dare to close his eyes, eating and sleeping on the horse, for fear that the tragedy would be irreparable if the time was delayed.

I don't know if it's too late! It's just one day away!

However, he was always unwilling not to see him with his own eyes, so Jiang Li still came. Who thinks that the road of heaven and earth is endless, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, just when he thought that the trajectory of things was the same as the previous life, God gave him a big surprise!

Master's eldest daughter didn't even die! and went to the county seat to get medicine for Shi Niang.

When he learned this, he was instantly overwhelmed by a huge ecstasy, but the next moment he couldn't help but wonder if something was wrong?

Of course, Jiang Li wasn't looking forward to Jiang Rong's accident, he was just very unsure if he was really reborn fifteen years ago. After all, the fact that he woke up from another person's exorcism after death was really shocking, and he still hasn't remembered it.

Jiang Li was originally an orphan, he didn't remember his parents and relatives, and he only had some trance memory fragments in his mind, as if there was a fire, and then all of them were gone.

In the midst of the fire, someone shouted to him: "Go away! Come on! Never come back! ”

When he woke up, he didn't remember anything. His face was also burned in that fire.

Later, he met his master, who adopted him and named him Jiang Li, who did not dislike his terrible face, but taught him wholeheartedly, and tied all his heart and soul to him.

Gradually, from Master's occasional words, he learned about the Qiē that Master had experienced.

He was the same age as Master's eldest daughter, and had the same experience of being burned by fire as Master's mother, all of which made Master see the shadow of his loved ones in him.

Moreover, the master's acceptance of himself without a father and mother is probably a kind of empathy, hoping that Jiang Yu, who doesn't know where he was sold, can meet the same kind people and be taken in like him.

He didn't complain about that. No matter what the purpose of the Master took him in, and whose shadow he saw in him, there is no doubt that the Master is kind to him.

In the thirty-eighth year of Jianchang, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, which was called the first year of Chong'an. The one who got the great treasure was the sixth son of the emperor, the Qing prince of Qingzhou, who was given the fief by the emperor, this person who no one expected.

It's not that the sixth son of the emperor is talentless, immoral, and unbearable, on the contrary, he is both civil and military, gentle and elegant, respectful to his superiors, tolerant to his subordinates, and a good prince who is praised by everyone in the eyes of everyone. Compared to his brothers, he has the best reputation.

However, such a perfect person has no chance of being on the throne.

Xu is God is also jealous of his perfection, when Xiao Cong was fourteen years old, he accidentally fell off his horse, and since then he has broken his leg, which is not good for walking.

How could a person with a disability in his leg be an emperor? No matter how perfect he is, he can't do it.

Since then, the sixth son of the emperor has lived in seclusion and gradually withdrawn from people's sight. After being named the Qingwang, he simply moved to the Qingwang Mansion in Qingzhou and lived a peaceful life.

The other princes almost forgot that there was such a brother.

As the ages are getting older, the ministers in the court frequently ask the emperor to appoint a prince. At that time, the stupid prince had been dead for several years, and if Jiang Li hadn't woken up in the stupid prince's body, there would be no such person in the world.

is still alive, a stupid prince, in the eyes of the ministers, there is no equivalent to nothing.

Thus, the battle for the crown prince began. Openly and secretly, all the princes and princes have formed gangs, gathered forces, accumulated strength, and competed for whether it was hot or not.

The eldest prince Lang, who was given Yongzhou and was named King Yong, was born of a low-ranking concubine in the palace. In the process of competing for the throne, there are two advantages, one is long; The second is military merit.

The eldest prince was not very favored, and his mother was not reliable, so when he was young, he went to the northwest border alone. He was brave and warlike, led soldiers like a god, and accumulated some military merits. Although he was later recalled to Kyoto by Emperor Jianchang, many generals in the court were on his side.

The second prince Jin, whose biological mother is the imperial concubine, can be said to have been favored since he was a child, which can be seen from his name. Jin, beautiful jade, there is a poem as evidence, "such as the grass of the orchid, such as the jade of the Jin, the bandit said that the carving, into this fragrant." ”

Unlike the great prince, Lang is just a jade-like stone, not jade after all.

The mother family is powerful, plus the second prince, Corporal Lixian, he is also quite talented, and more than half of the court's ministers support him. His fief is in Yangzhou, which is a famous and wealthy place since ancient times.

The third prince Yu and the second prince are compatriots of the same mother, the two are close in age, and they have had a good relationship since childhood. Moreover, the three princes like to travel in the mountains and rivers, do not like to be restrained, and run out at two ends in three days. He doesn't have any desire to compete for power and profit, he just wants to be a leisurely idle king. His fief was in Yizhou.

The courtiers automatically classified him as a faction of the two princes.

The fourth prince, Jin (jìn), is low-key and quiet on weekdays, does not like to stand out in everything, only loyal to the monarch, and does not make friends or parties. The fief is in Jingzhou, called King Jing.

However, as far as Jiang Li knew in his previous life, in fact, King Jing was secretly accumulating strength in private, but he had always been inconspicuous, and others rarely paid attention to him. In the end, when the battle for the throne was hot, this one also showed quite good strength and heritage.

Whoever was born in the emperor's house, how many could not be tempted by that position? Even if you don't fight or grab, there will always be some reason why you have to fight or not grab.

In the game, I can't help myself!

The fifth prince Min (mín) is the son of a palace maid who was accidentally favored by Emperor Jianchang, and has never been liked by Emperor Jianchang. Min, like a beautiful stone of jade, so there is a sentence of "although there is a carving of Min, it is not as good as the chapter of jade".

From this point of view, he and the eldest prince are in the same disease, and the name he takes does not bode well.
