Chapter 223: Love on the Left, Love on the Right

If it is said that the previous incident of Zhou Manyin's poisoning of the eldest grandson was just a thief shouting to catch a thief staged by his son to spoil his concubine and kill his wife, then a series of coincidences that happened in the past few days made Gao Gong realize that the Gao family had been led into an inextricable abyss by his son.

Liu Renfu came to the door and asked Gao Gong why he sent his son to report the news and get someone first, but he temporarily retreated when the follow-up should be evidenced. Gao Gong realized that Zhou Manyun, who originally thought he had returned to Jiangnan, was actually sent to the palace.

Gao Wei is his own son, or his only heir now, Gao Gong can only pinch his nose and admit everything.

"It's actually Concubine Zhang that you're hitching up with. Although the Liu family was notified to take people, no matter what the result was, the Liu family was hated by Bixia, and it was inevitable to offend the Xiao family. And Zhang Xixi has to get out as long as he is blinded by others. It's just that before you did this, where did you put the Gao family? ”

Thinking carefully about the cause and effect, Gao Gong naturally suspected the Jingguo Mansion behind the fire in the Gao Mansion, and his face turned blue with hatred towards his son. As a human being, he is also keen on fame, but Gao Wei's complete disregard for his family makes him hateful.

"My father is upright on the surface, but in fact, he has been a member of the Liu Party since the Yongde period. But the Liu family is currently more inclined to their own children, and it seems that you have had a different kind of thought...... Daddy", Gao Wei has been exposed by his father, so he simply raised his eyebrows and generously faced it.

The father who has admired him since he was a child has become a little more recognizant in the process of growing up, and after experiencing a loss that is nothing more than that, the person in front of him has become a politician who conflicts with his own ideas.

But it also has use value, if it weren't for the relationship between Gao Gong and the Liu family, it would not be easy to win the trust of Liu Renfu's brothers. Parents are human beings, and they teach by word and deed. When Gao Gong taught Gao Wei to use the Zhou family, a relative, his son, who was quite smart, learned to use Lao Tzu in a similar way.

In the backyard of the Gao family, the father came in anger to teach his son a lesson. gradually faded into the fireworks and became a bargain between the two politicians for a way out......

On the third day of the ninth lunar month, at the west gate of Xiakou, a team of mourning cars slowly drove out, and white paper money fell in the wind, like a white butterfly that had lived a short life and danced for it.

"Life is the Gao family, death is the ghost of the Gao family...... Maybe die while there is still a safe place to bury. It's also a kind of happiness, right? ”

Hidden outside the city gate to watch the lively crowd, a thin young man lowered the hat on his head with one hand, and stretched out his other hand to support the crumbling white-haired old man beside him.

The city gate hole was firmly blocked by the slowly moving golden silk nanmu coffin, and above the city gate, two hideous human heads were hanging high, staring and baring their teeth.

The gates of Xiakou Castle are open six times, and as in the other five gate buildings that have been confirmed, the heads of the stabbing guests who entered the palace last month are hung on the city walls.

In the midst of the painful grief at this time, there will be voices in the chest frantically shouting for rejoicing. Zhou Manyun, who was dressed like a peasant boy, raised his left hand and pressed it vigorously on the beating atrium.

Life is unpredictable.

On the same day, he jumped into the Tuojiang River with Xu Yu. It was just in the tense escape process that he estimated the high tide time of the river according to the tide method, entered the river to dive and ride the waves, and escaped into the barracks outside the palace with the power of the rising tide.

She and Xu Yu were both children who grew up by the river, fooling those internal guards from the Luojing Palace, and finally got rid of them in a thrilling way.

It's just that after barely being safe, Xu Yu, who was injured in the back of his shoulder in the palace, was bedridden with a high fever, and it was only now that he confirmed the results of his old companions.

"Are you going to go with her and see where she is buried?" , Xu Yu, who has white eyebrows and white beard, has a sallow face. His feet were weak, but he still patted Man Yun's arm and asked softly.

"No, I won't. As previously said. Just go to the city gate and look at it. Man Yun shook his head and walked slowly with Xu Yu in his arms, leaving the mourning team far behind.

According to the rumors I heard in the market just now, Zhou Manyin's death should also be related to himself.

If that day in front of the Stacked Hills, there is Zhou Manyin, a sister, to recognize the relatives. Maybe things are even more difficult to get out of hand. And the matter has come to this, she went to Manyin's grave again, except for the possibility of sending herself into the tiger's mouth again, what use can she have?

In the small courtyard of the fisherman's house by the Tuojiang River, a large fishing net was drying, and an old lady with gray hair was sitting on her feet. Manual like a shuttle, while doing the net mending for a living, while staring vigilantly at the gate of the large open courtyard.

In the hut in the east compartment, Xu Yu sat on the edge of the bed with his upper body naked and pursed a pair of thin lips.

"Don't say that the wound is suppurating, and I have walked so far! If I had said it earlier, I would have gone into the city to buy some medicine. ", his own brothers and sisters, Zhou Manyun's action of dressing the medicine was quick and ruthless, and the complaints in his mouth were also extremely loud.

Xu Yu closed his eyes, hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a light smile: "Sister Yun is still a big lady!" At this time, I went into the city to buy medicine, not to rush to fill the stuffing! ”

Zhou Manyun couldn't help but slow down the movements of his hands.

The time has come to September of the eleventh year of Taiye, and this morning Manyin's coffin has just been sent to the earthen steamed buns outside the city, and at the end of the month, the big city will become a slaughterhouse.

After a nightmare in the middle of the night, she always woke up in the bloody rain again and again, and she comforted herself privately that Xu Yu, who may have died in Xiakou in her previous life, was robbed of her life, and maybe she would be blessed by God in this life.

But a little glad that after learning that Manyin had died, it made her panic, afraid that there would be more mistakes in God's tricks.

In front of the Stacking Building, she chose Xu Yu and left Xiao Hong alone in the palace.

She has a reason, and it seems sufficient. Xu Yu's situation was even more critical, she also reached an agreement with Zhang Xixi before the imperial trial, and Xiao Hong still had the help of the extremely powerful old eunuch.

However, after escaping, Zhou Manyun still couldn't control the waves of heartache.

Before leaving Stacking Mansion, she took the risk of letting Yinzi cast a shadow Gu on Xiao Hong, hoping that after leaving him alone, she could empathize with him and confirm that he was safe and sound.

But even though she knew that he was still alive through the sensations of her body, when she looked at the human heads hanging from the city gate, she still moved step by step, and the soles of her feet were weak in panic.

It's just that where will Xiao Hong be now?

Zhou Manyun's eyebrows were twisted, and a sad sigh was quietly held on his lips.

Xu Yu followed Man Yun for a while, and when he saw that his sister didn't move anymore, he grabbed the clothes on the bedside and put them on, and slowly tied them.

He didn't dare to look back, the sadness he would always see inadvertently in the past few days made Xu Yu feel ashamed.

The heads hanging at the gate of the city were all the Northern Chu assassins who had been assassinated in the palace last time, and no one was spared except him.

As early as Xiakou, he went in and out for two or three months, spent a lot of money to find out the living habits of Emperor Taiye, and thought that he could rob the jackpot of the assassination, but finally failed, not only that, the black-skinned boy who fell next to Xu Yu in front of the Stacked Blossom Building was Liu Da, the only son of Liu Tai, the current lord of Northern Chu.

What did you give up? If it weren't for Man Yun's kiss, maybe Xu Yu would have been able to tell his loyalty and die generously. But Man Yun saved him, and now, how can he talk about life and death lightly.

He should have returned to Chuyang to report the news, and he should have found a way to collect the remains of his brothers, but now he must be alive and protect his sister first.

"It's good that he's alive! Brother will definitely help you find him! After straightening his clothes and straightening his sleeves, Xu Yu's face that had not yet been raised from blood loss and scorching was full of the joy of the past.

It was also during the past few days of recuperation that Xu Yu knew the difficulty of Man Yun's choice in front of the Stacked Fragrance Building, which added to the unspeakable heartache.

"Of course I believe you!" , Man Yun, who came back to his senses, covered his lips and smiled, cooperating.

"When I find him, beat that kid first. used to hide beside me by pretending to be a ghost, and then abducted my sister while I was not in Huocheng...... Engagement! Hum! Marriage, do you have the consent of my eldest brother? When he doesn't ask me, I won't let you marry...... Sister Yun! Zhou Manyun...... Don't laugh, you can't do it, you can cry if you want to! ”

Xu Yu, who had been happily reproducing the nature of her mother-in-law's mouth, gradually dimmed her eyes in Man Yun's smile, and Zuihou simply pressed the girl in front of her to her chest.

The girl who deliberately smiled and comforted him, he was disgusted, disgusted!

Through the thin shirt, the chest that was close to it was warm, Zhou Manyun, who wanted to push people away immediately, closed his eyes, and two lines of tears slipped down quietly.

"Don't do such stupid things in the future. Brother's life is cheap, so you don't need to toss. There will be a next ......."

"There is no next time!" , Zhou Manyun raised his head angrily and choked angrily.

Next time, I'll just pay back this life I picked up! The unfinished words twisted into a cocoon in Xu Yu's chest, and he secretly promised it.

"Maybe it's my greed, I really want everyone to be good!" , Zhou Manyun sighed softly and closed his eyes.

Love the left and the right, but if you only want what you love and ignore the others, it is like cutting off your limbs, hands and feet and leaving only the beating heart in your chest, how long can you live?

Just like this time, if Xu Yu is allowed to die in front of him, he will inevitably feel guilty forever, he will not be at peace, and he will not be able to seek relief from the abyss of pain for the rest of his life, and he will be dragged by the demons and have no future at all.

"Sister Manyin is dead, maybe for herself, it can be regarded as seeking kindness. …… Brother, you know, if she knew, she would definitely scold me for being nosy and hypocritical. However, I really feel uncomfortable...... We survived together in Toyotsu Castle, but I didn't know what to do to make everyone happy......"

Man Yun put his forehead on Xu Yu's shoulder and said softly: "So, no matter what happens in the future, Brother Xiao Yu must take care of his own life first." And Master......"

The living Xu Yu should let the master Xu Ne, who committed suicide in his previous life, be nostalgic for the world.

There was a knock on the closed wooden door, two long and one short.

Zhou Manyun wiped his teary eyes and raised his voice in response.

Immediately outside the door, the old lady who mended the net called with joy: "Little fish girl! The big boss has come to see you! (To be continued......)
