Chapter 56: The Return (3)
One step, two steps
Liu Yu walked very slowly, because during the whole process, he needed to first stretch a long pole forward, and then use the power in his hand to step out of the right support leg, and then use the power on the leg to drag the left leg tied to the bracket over. In this way, the effort that was originally just a breath of effort will not only take several times as much time for him at this moment, but also pay unimaginable perseverance.
From the official pavilion to Yuhangmen, he had to complete hundreds of such actions, and he walked less than half the distance, and fine sweat particles had oozed from his forehead, the only thing that was gratifying was that God was still saving face today, and there was no heavy rain to destroy, but seeing that the sun was about to rise, Liu Yu knew that if he wanted to complete his previous plan, he had to move faster.
There is no need to fake, the expression on his face is also the truest embodiment, his eyes are resolute, his expression is solemn, and his frown shows that he is enduring great pain, what kind of spiritual power is supporting him to stand still? A good deed person followed his line of sight and analyzed it, and came to his own judgment, that kind of spirit is called loyalty, because the direction he is looking at is facing the south of the city, where the imperial palace is located, the ruling center of the Great Song Dynasty!
But only he himself knows that what attracts his attention is not the court, but the city gate cave not far away, and when he walks there, he can enter a shady place, and by the way, he can rest, but unfortunately the idea is perfect, but the reality is very cruel, he suddenly found that his performance could not stop at all, the reason is very simple, there are too many audiences coming.
Ten thousand empty alleys!
Liu Yu, who returned to this time and space, did not expect that his arrangement would lead to such an effect, looking at the dense crowds of people on both sides of the official road, all he could think of was such a word, but this description was still too conservative, because there were only 10,000 people who came out of the city.
Did these people come to see him? Don't say that his image at the moment is indescribable, even if he looks like Pan An, who will take a second look, if there is, that person may be a rabbit, because the vast majority of the onlookers are men.
Things are being agitated little by little, and the earliest can be traced back to the return of the first northbound envoy Liu Yue, which was a month ago, and then it will come every few days, until more than ten days ago, there were no new people, it feels like a serial, I was seeing the wonderful place, and it was suddenly cut off, and the hanging taste could not be satisfied, so it was not unbearable.
If it's always like this, it's just that, as an important place in Beijing, new things emerge one after another, and the previous ones will always be forgotten with the passage of time. But what is not dead is that the Yuan people sent a messenger to ask for guilt, and at the same time revealed the final whereabouts of the remnants of the mission, coupled with the news of the Song people, there is more elderly Lao Pingzhang who was stimulated to vomit blood and died, a group of scholars besieged the women and children of other people, frightened, and finally even the flesh and bones in the abdomen fell off the piles, which can be described as wonderful, which makes people flawless, and its bloody place far exceeds any X drama in later generations.
Therefore, most good people come to see the finale, after all, no matter how wonderful the story is, which one is more exciting than what you have seen with your own eyes? But the problem is that Liu Yu didn't know, he crossed over early in the morning, and he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and suddenly saw such a big scene, he actually had a little stage fright.
It turns out that when the image of a living loyal minister appears in front of people's eyes, it plays an incomparable educational role, and looking at the person in front of him, who can associate him with the high-spirited young hero a few months ago?
Even if the clothes are ragged, unkempt, haggard, and staggering, you can find any words like that to describe the person in front of you.
Even the dirty face and beard grew like weeds, the loose messy hair hung casually on the shoulders, and a pair of bare feet stepped on rotten straw sandals that I didn't know where to pick up, and black toes were exposed.
Even if there is nothing but the long stick in his hand and a rag bag on his back, he is full of unbearable bad smell, and he looks more depressed than any beggar in this Lin'an City, but it still makes people unable to look at it directly!
Because he is Liu Yu.
The white body entered the curtain to make great achievements, and Liu Yu, who was the second in Jiankang City!
The young man has ambition, the saint is favored, and he is Liu Yu, who is the east bed of Yefu, wins the return of beauties, and is in the limelight for a while!
Participated in the peace talks, fought with reason in front of the Yuan people, and took back a large area of territory for the Great Song Dynasty, but Liu Yu was still not arrogant or impatient!
Become a messenger, thousands of miles away into the tiger's den, face the enemy chief without fear, outnumbered, fight to the last person, and burn Liu Yu in the post house!
The hero returns.
I have to say that Liu Yu's behavior at this moment meets the most intuitive expectations of the people for the image of the hero, and in all the eyes that look at him, in addition to sympathy is respect, even the most critical critics are difficult to draw the opposite conclusion, unless he wants to be beaten into a pig's head by the angry masses.
Because in addition to all the above, there is an even more unbearable reason, and that is
A few days ago, his family was almost ruined, and he finally died, and even the three-month-old child in his womb could not be saved, and Liu Yu, who was falsely accused of being a national thief.
A down-and-out hero full of pathos, what could be more admired by the people than this image? Even the initiator himself was kept in the dark, and he had to perform more seriously and hard in order to live up to this rare stage.
"Ziqing, it's Ziqing!"
In the silence, Meng Zhijin's voice was very abrupt, but the people around him did not accuse him too much, but asked him curiously, is this the hero's name?
"Which Ziqing?"
"It's him, Liu Yu and Liu Ziqing."
Meng Zhijin had no way to squeeze forward, he could only shout and point in the direction of the street, Ye Yingji was standing beside him, he looked at everything in front of him with a calm personality and was not good at words, and couldn't help but burst into tears, he was worried about another person, I don't know if that poor girl can survive the life and death.
"Jiren has his own natural appearance, even Ziqing is safe and sound, and Sister Ling will definitely be" Hu Sanxing, who had just arrived in Beijing, patted his arm and comforted, but before he finished speaking, he was suddenly drowned out by the huge cheers of the crowd.
"Liu Ziqing!"
"Liu Ziqing!"
It turned out that the onlookers who heard his name spread ten, ten to hundred, and the people who were worried about not knowing how to express their respect spontaneously began to call out the hero's name, and the voice went from small to large, from point to surface, and finally became a uniform shout, and even the guards of Yuhang Gate joined in, and the sound was monstrous, and the effect was that more and more people in the city gathered in this direction.
So, Liu Yu, who had entered Yuhang Gate, suddenly found that there was no road in front of him, so it is not very accurate, there is still a spacious and empty avenue in front, but it is not for ordinary people to walk, but for the royal family to travel on the "royal road", the streets on both sides for ordinary people to pass, all of them were crowded by the people who rushed to hear the news.
Stopping at the entrance of the royal road, Liu Yu didn't want to be lazy, the shouts in his ears had already made him want to stop, of course, such a good effect was also something he didn't expect beforehand, as for the tens of thousands of people calling their names together, would it be too much, where could he take care of it at this moment.
"Let's get there!" It has to be said that the eyes of the masses are bright, and immediately some people noticed his predicament and shouted another slogan.
"Let's get there!"
Liu Yuming knew that this was inappropriate, but there was no way, the play must be performed to the end, he raised the long stick in his hand without hesitation, and prepared to step on the "royal street" that symbolized the majesty of the royal family, even if he faced unpredictable consequences.
"Phew!" Before he could lift his feet, a horse rushed out of the crowd, Xie Tang looked at him with a complicated expression, raised his hands on the horse, and motioned for the people to take a break.
"According to the instructions of the Empress Dowager, Xuan Liu Yu will see you immediately." When the shouting outside subsided, he announced loudly, Xu remembered something, and added: "Quasi-royal street walking!" ”
Then he jumped off the horse, snorted at Liu Yu, and motioned for him to sit on the horse. However, from Xie Tang's eyes, Liu Yu sensitively caught a trace of helplessness, and after a little association, he understood that this guy was an edict at all, and the saint was afraid that he hadn't gotten the news at the moment.
"The minister Liu Yu respects the holy oracle, but the request of the king, forgive a certain can not obey the order, the saint is allowed to walk, and the minister will never dare to exceed half a point."
Stretching out his hand to remove Xie Tang's kindness, Liu Yu resolutely stepped on the royal road, he did this not only for himself, but also to help Xie Tang reduce some of the guilt, the matter is already perfect, there is no need to regret because of the last step, the most important thing is that his behavior once again ignited the enthusiasm of the people, and the cheers resounded in the city again.
Liu Yu, who limped past, became the biggest scenery in Lin'an City, at this moment his back even made Xie Tang feel jealous, how many people couldn't ask for fame, so easily by this kid into the bag, he believed that for the previous experience, this son will have a satisfactory explanation, the huge gap in IQ made him sigh, a man and a horse in the morning sun looked extremely lonely.
The whole ten miles long royal street, Liu Yu moved forward step by step in the cheers of the people, the sun shone on his body, the sweat had already soaked his back, when he crossed the Zhong'an Bridge, the journey was already halfway, he began to seriously consider a question, whether to faint and end all this, although it was not satisfactory, the harvest was also quite huge, and he could go home directly.
To tell the truth, the matter is so big, so much time has passed, according to the little girl's temperament, it should have appeared a long time ago, and then he appropriately showed the deep love between husband and wife, and went home with her directly, I am afraid that even the people will applaud, and the court can't say anything, after all, the political atmosphere at this time is still very relaxed.
"Liu Sheren!" Thinking about it this way, there are really people running out from the side, but it is not the little wife he thinks.
"Liu Yue, a member of the subordinate rite department, asks to return to the team, hoping that the envoy will be gracious."
"Hello" Liu Yu tried hard to open his eyes and judge for a while, before he had a little impression of the person who came, he didn't know much of the people in the mission, because he didn't have any intention of making friends at all, but he didn't expect it to come in handy here, he was just about to nod his head and agree, and a few more people came out from the side.
"The main book of the subordinate Honglu Temple"
"Subordinate Taijoji Temple Boneiro"
There were more and more people, and they were all the small officials he had sent back before, all of them in green robes, but it did not prevent Liu Yu from being grateful to them, because he was about to lose his breath.
Wait until after the Baomin Fang, the number of people who joined the team further expanded, dozens of royal front classes who got the news became his guards, surrounded by these people, the tall Hening Gate City Tower was already in sight, with a Fengluan group fan, a sage with a Qingluo umbrella cover appeared on the city tower, and on her left and right were the young official family and the only incumbent minister Chen Yizhong in the political hall.
Finally about to end, Liu Yu closed his eyes a little tiredly, came back to his senses a little, and then let go of the two Ban Zhi who were holding him, untied the rag burden on his back, and opened it in his hand, to the surprise of everyone behind him, it was not filled with any clothes and food, but two snow-white tails.
With the help of everyone, the tail was loaded on the head of the long stick in his hand, Liu Yu held it high, and the two tails flew like silver snakes, making him look awe-inspiring and inviolable. Chen Yizhong, who was on the city tower, looked at him with complicated eyes, and like everyone present, an image of a historical figure emerged in his mind.
Su Wu.
Su Wu, who was not allowed to return to the Han Dynasty for 19 years!
After coming back, I learned that my father died, my mother died, and my wife remarried!
Liu Yu took a step forward, held the envoy and said with his hand upward.
"Minister Liu Yu was sent to the north to make an envoy, and he returned today, he has no merit of size, he has the virtue of the sky, the peace agreement has not been completed, his colleagues have died, and he is guilty of all ministers. However, those who steal their lives and return from ruggedness are only to repay the grace of God in case of any eventuality, and if they can die a hundred times to complete the minister's festival, the minister will be grateful to the dead."
The words were full of tears, and everyone who heard it was inexplicable, Xie Shi was of course no exception, if this was a fraud, she could only admire the acting skills of this young man, and the injury on his leg could be found out as soon as he checked it, and he couldn't hide it at all, and sighed secretly in her heart, she gestured to the personal female officer.
"The sage decreed that Liu Yu was injured, and after returning the seal letter and other things, he was ordered to return home, and there must be no mistake."
And that's the end of it? Liu Yu couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard it, shouldn't it be a pretentious relationship between the monarch and the minister in the future? Although there is still some unfinished, but Liu Yu still obediently obeyed the order, and returning home as soon as possible is also one of the wishes of this trip, to be honest, he has been away for so long, and he really misses the little girl in his heart, but he didn't notice the trace of pity revealed in the eyes of the female official when he turned around.
