In the early morning, Liu Yu, who was in a small soap hat, followed a caravan into the city from the north gate, and until he said goodbye to everyone in the team, no one knew that the young man who had just talked quite casually was the lord of the city. Along the street around the palace, he came all the way to the Yamen, and the guards of the gate with a house of white linen cloth on their armor were patted on the shoulder, and then he could see who he was.

These days, every day he would come here to put a pillar of incense on the old man, and then stand silently in front of the spiritual seat for a while, as if every time he had a different feeling, as if there was really a spirit in the sky communicating with him. Sacrifice is the biggest thing for the Chinese people, and until the 21st century, when science and technology are developed, people will still return to their hometowns at a fixed time, and from this point of view, the East and the West are the same.

Jin Ming and Wang Lin one stood, one knelt and sit, silently watching him finish this qiē, after the old man left, because Wang Lin is the only relative here, to keep filial piety in front of the hall, Jin Ming helped him take care of other affairs in the house, a few days later, both of them have lost a lot of weight, and Wang Lin is even more vegetarian, plus grief, faintly suspected of falling ill.

"Ziqing, is there anything else, bring me one." Liu Yu woke up from meditation, walked to the two of them, and handed Jin Ming a cigarette, Wang Lin on the side suddenly spoke, Liu Yu was slightly stunned, took out one and handed it to him, and then helped him light it, Wang Lin had never smoked this, took a sharp breath, choked sadly, because it was in his father's spiritual position, he didn't dare to make a sound, so he had to reach out and cover his mouth.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly stepped forward to help him pat his back and breathe, and after a while, Wang Lin came to his senses, but he was still holding the cigarette, not daring to push harder, just inhaling slowly. In later generations, the front of the spirit is a solemn place, and smoking is a frivolous behavior, but in this time and space, perhaps because of the fireworks, no one taboos this, and the first to take the lead is the old smoking gun of Jin Ming.

"Da Lang's spirit is a little bad, you persuade him more, you have to mourn, he is the eldest man in the house now, he can't fall." Pulling Jin Ming out of the hall, the two stood still under a tree in the courtyard, and Liu Yu looked at Jin Ming, who was also full of bloodshots, and said. Unlike Jin Ming, Wang Lin is a literati, and his body is much worse, and Liu Yu is very worried about whether he can hold on.

"I've already been persuaded, he doesn't listen to the law, just wait for the old lady to arrive, add ginseng soup to his diet these days, don't worry, I'll watch." Jin Ming took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, looked in the direction of the Spirit Hall and said, his voice was a little hoarse, and he probably didn't have a good rest.

After saying this, both of them smoked cigarettes and fell silent, since Wang Lixin died on the day he talked to several people, Liu Yu found that the originally very close relationship between himself and Jin Ming's brothers and sisters seemed to have an extra layer of estrangement, except for official business, the two no longer had any contact, even Jin Ming's favorite cigarettes, and no longer took the initiative to ask for them, which made Liu Yu very annoyed.

"Lao Jin, something is unclear, you happen to be here, can you solve someone's confusion?" After a while, Liu Yu took half of the cigarette in one gulp, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stepped on it with his foot, only then did he raise his head and look at Jin Ming with a stern expression and asked, Jin Ming was a little confused, so he stood there and did not answer.

"It's not a short time since we met, putting aside the relationship between Sister Pan, fighting with the Tartars these days can be regarded as a comrade, how can Liu be so unbearable in your heart, so that your old Jin is afraid to hide?"

Liu Yu deliberately said something a little heavy, Jin Ming's face changed uncertainly after listening to it, Liu Yu waited quietly, he knew that Jin Ming was an honest man, but it didn't mean that people were not smart, what Liu Yu really wanted to ask, he could definitely think of it, but Jin Ming seemed to be struggling in his heart, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Ziqing doesn't have to be excited, some things are right, you are the one who wants to do big things, and the poor sister is just a vulgar soldier, since I can't help you with anything, it's better to stay away, I'm just such a relative, I can't let her be wronged anymore."

"You come with so-and-so." Liu Yu was laughing and crying by his words, but it was just about the woman's name, although there were not many people here, but it was not a quiet place, so he dragged him out of the gate, Jin Ming didn't know where he was going, and he didn't struggle, the two walked all the way, and the result was not far, it was Liu Yu's own mansion.

"You wait outside the door, and when someone comes, they will say that the official has something important, and no one will see him." Liu Yu entered the door and gave instructions to his own soldiers, driving out all the people inside, and then he took Jin Ming into his room, looked at the courtyard, and closed the door with his backhand.

"You mean, the reason why you don't want to deal with me these days is because I'm afraid that I will have a mind on Sister Pheasant?" Liu Yu found a cup on the table, picked up the wine jug on the side and poured it, and then handed it to Jin Ming behind him, but he just found a stool to sit down.

"A certain is a rough person, but how about you and Sister Pan, although you haven't said it thoroughly, you can guess a thing or two, I have no ability to be a brother, and I have lived up to my father's expectations, so that her sisters have been unstable since childhood, and now there is this one left, and I want to ensure her happiness in this life."

Jin Ming raised his hand and drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a gloomy expression, listening to his words, Liu Yu seemed to see the holy halo shining on the top of Jin Ming's head, which made him feel awe-inspired, he himself has no brothers and sisters in this life, so he is very envious of this feeling,

"If you think so, you look down on Sister Pheasant, and also look down on Liu, not to mention that you yourself are now the commander of the capital from the fifth grade, my grade is still far from you, even if you are just an ordinary soldier, if I am true" Liu Yu did not continue, he remembered the figure in the capital, in this time and space, no matter what you say and do, it is not as real as a name.

"Lao Jin, I said that Sister Pheasant is the same as you, do you believe it?" Liu Yu suddenly found that he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only express his heart directly.

"Believe it or not, when the old lady arrives, he plans to escort the coffin back to his hometown with Sister Pheasant, so he resigns from his official position, puts some fields there, and spends his days." Jin Ming said indifferently.

"Homecoming? Where to go. Liu Yu was taken aback, but he didn't expect that he had already resigned and lived in seclusion, and couldn't help but look at him.

"Follow the wishes of the recruitment, it should be Lu'an, but this matter has to be discussed with the old lady, even Da Lang, after this funeral, he will not come out to be an official again, and he will be treated like a mountain, anyway, he doesn't have that mind, it is better to be a farmer, and he will be quiet."

"Lu'an, in Anfengjun, it's indeed a good place to go, wait until he comes back to the Tartars, how are you going, do you honestly be a good citizen?" Liu Yu knows very well that this place is where Wang Lixin grew up since he was a child, but it is in Huaixi, which can already be regarded as the front line.

"Hugh is talking nonsense, the Tartars have lost so badly this time, how can they immediately start a war again?" Jin Ming just thought he was alarmist and shook his head and didn't believe it at all.

"Since you know me until now, have I ever spoken a word about the war?" Liu Yu's eyes looked at the desktop, his hands were unconsciously lightly buckled, and the room was quiet.

"What do you mean by that?" Jin Ming turned his head when he heard this, Liu Yu was not wrong, he had always said that he had to be counted as a last resort, otherwise Wang Lixin would not value him so much.

"The imperial court will make peace this time, whether it will succeed or not, it will be another matter, after the defeat of the Tartars, it will also need a period of recuperation, needless to say, secretly replenish the damage and accumulate grain and grass. On the other hand, on the side of the imperial court, now that you have lost the good form of taking advantage of the victory, you are also an old soldier, do you think they will accumulate levels to prepare for war? ”

Listening to Liu Yu's words, Jin Ming couldn't help but ponder, what he was most worried about now was that the peace negotiation would be completed, because according to the past, if the peace was really discussed, the people in the court would definitely think that they could sit back and relax, thinking of this, his face slowly became solemn.

"And what do you want me to do?" Jin Ming shook his head helplessly, Liu Yu saw that he was moved, and hurriedly helped him pour the wine, and he also took a cup and poured it full of wine.

"In charge of the army, you have a lot of credit this time, promotion is a matter of course, after returning to Beijing, strive to be able to take charge of an army alone, the troubled times are coming, only by holding the military power, can you keep the people you want to protect in the future."

Liu Yu's words were a little awkward, and he didn't know if Jin Ming understood it, he nodded silently, and the two touched each other's wine glasses and drank each other.

"Why don't you see Sister Pheasant today, is she in the back hall of the Shuai Mansion?" Liu Yu asked casually while helping the two of them pour wine, Jin Ming shook his head, stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction next to him, Liu Yu looked at him for some reason.

"Yesterday I kept a vigil all night, and I saw that she was so tired that she couldn't sit still, so I sent her back to rest."

As soon as Jin Ming's words fell, Liu Yu "pounced" and squirted out a mouthful of wine, and then he remembered that Xiao Loli usually lives in the wing room next to him in the name of the captain of the personal army, and the sound insulation effect here is very average, and her ear power is quite strong, doesn't that mean that Liu Yu looked at Jin Ming, and the latter nodded slowly.

Liu Yu threw Jin Ming alone in the room, walked out of the door quickly, fortunately the soldiers faithfully carried out his order, there was no one in the courtyard, he walked to the pheasant slave's room with some trepidation, stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the door.

"Sister Pheasant, are you asleep?" Liu Yu shouted, heard that there seemed to be some movement inside, tried to push it, the door was not tethered, he gently pushed open a crack, and found that the little Lori was sitting on the edge of the bed neatly, with her head down and not knowing what she was thinking.

"You heard what Brother Ling and I said, what I wanted to say was actually" Liu Yu walked up to her and hurriedly explained, but she interrupted before she finished speaking.

"Brother Yu, will you really treat me like my brother?" The pheasant slave raised his face, his face was haggard and made Liu Yu feel a little distressed, there seemed to be some tears on it, he nodded solemnly, and the pheasant slave looked at her and showed a relieved smile.

"That's fine, but, everyone left the city today, Brother Yu, what can you do?" The pheasant slave said with some regret.

"Ahh Liu Yu was taken aback again, and couldn't help but think of the shadow that he hadn't seen for a long time, is this leaving?

At the end of the Taihuai River, it is the Moling Town outside Jiankang City, the waterway stops abruptly here, and then you have to go from the official road to Liyang County to connect again. On the wharf at this moment, a large group of people holding various honor guards occupied almost the entire wharf, attracting the attention of passers-by.

They seemed to be going to take a large boat docked on the pier to the direction of Jiankang, and in the opposite direction, an ordinary small boat leaned against an inconspicuous corner. Out of the warehouse came out of a woman wearing a hood, although she couldn't see her face clearly, but her graceful figure made people reverie.

"Sister, it's not early, we still have to hurry." A servant girl led a few servants to carry the cage off the boat, and then carried it to the ox cart that had been prepared long ago, and when she saw that the woman was still looking back in the direction she came, she stepped forward and persuaded her.

"Well, let's go." Gu Xixi spit out a sentence lightly, turned his head and got into a car, looking at the direction of the city that had long been invisible, and was reluctant to put down the curtain for a long time. R1058
