Chapter 194: Wait for Me
On the mountain path five hundred miles away from the capital, two horses galloped through the heavens and the earth, and two black figures jumped up and down, far away in an instant, like a meteor crossing.
The eyes of the man on horseback are like cold stars, and his face is cold and solemn.
"Master, let's take a break, you're so desperate that you're afraid that you'll rush to the capital, and you won't have the energy to save people!" Feng Xun, who has always spoken little, couldn't help but persuade him. It had been a day and a night like this, and the horses had run away several times, but they hadn't even drunk a sip of water, and the master had gone mad, and if he hadn't persuaded him, he was afraid that he would die before he reached the capital.
Situ Yu didn't respond, his face was tense, like a jade-faced Shura. He only had the endless long road ahead in his eyes, and he repeatedly silently recited in his heart: "Yu'er, wait for me, you must wait for me......"
In order to hide people's eyes, most of them walked on mountain roads, and only when they encountered extremely difficult sections of the road at night, they ran on the official road for a while. This mountain path is extremely bumpy, and it is such a deadly way of running, Rao is Fengxun is so profound, and some of them can't stand it, I just feel uncomfortable tumbling in my stomach, but the master didn't speak, he can only grit his teeth and insist.
After another two hours, Situ Yu finally spoke: "You can enter Lanqi County tonight, and then take a short rest when you arrive in Lanqi County, and we will enter the capital as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow morning!" ”
"Master, my subordinates think that we will sleep for two hours tonight, and it will be too late to enter the city at the same time!"
Situ Yu glared at him back, and then shook the horse's butt twice, one more point of delay in the rumor will be more dangerous, how can he stop at this time!
At this time, in the Qingfu in the capital, Xiao Wu was persuading Qing Ming and Ye Chao, who were red-faced and red-eared.
"Brother Ye, the matter has come to this point, it's useless for you to complain about the son, let's think about how to explain it to the master!" While he was relieved of Ye Chao's breath, he said to Qing Ming again: "Childe, the master ran back secretly this time, and when he left, he shouldn't have received the news that Lin Wanyan committed suicide in fear of crime, I'm worried that if he knows that the girl is dead, I don't know what will happen!" Let's hurry up and discuss what to do! ”
"The eldest brother is really confused, the enemy is at present, for the sake of a woman, he is willing to risk the crime of killing the head and leave his post without permission, if he knows that the pastoral rumor is dead, he may not turn the capital upside down, alas, it is really unjust!"
Qing Ming also knew that this matter could not be concealed for a while, and he did not have no plans, he wanted to wait for the day of the execution to rob the law field to save people, but he didn't expect her to die in prison like this, and he didn't expect that the eldest brother not only didn't care about his own life for her, but even abandoned the lives of tens of millions of soldiers, did he really do something wrong!
"Hmph, I said a long time ago, if you do this, you are tearing out the prince's heart! If he had managed to rescue her and send her to the prince's side earlier, how could things have turned out like this! It's good now, Xi Bochang and his party don't know how many eyes they put on us, and they hope that the prince can't hold it back so that he can hold his handle. But the prince is a personality, you don't know it, but whatever he wants to do, even if he pierces the sky, he has to do it. Let's think about how this is going to end! ”
After all, after getting along for a while, Mu Yu's temperament was deeply admired by Ye Chao, except for Situ Yu in the entire Fengyun Hall, Ye Chao was the most sad and regretful about Mu Yu's death, but he was also powerless in many things.
"Don't talk about cool words, I made this decision for the sake of my eldest brother and Fengyuntang! No one wants things to be like this, what's the use of talking about it now! ”
Although things were beyond his expectations, but at this moment and then, Qing Ming did not regret his decision, but the current situation made him a little tricky, "Big brother will never allow Xi Muyu's corpse to be left behind, I have urgently transferred some of the forces of Fengyun Hall back to Beijing, in addition to covering the eldest brother all the way, we also have to think of snatching the body of the girl Muyu!" ”
"That's right! If you live to see people, you have to see corpses when you die! Even if the pastoral girl is no longer alive, we can be regarded as having an explanation for the prince! Xiao Wu hurriedly agreed.
Ye Chao was very dissatisfied with their practice of not caring about them beforehand and working blindly afterwards, and left in a depressed mood.
At dusk, a holy decree once again pushed the Lin Wanyan incident to *.
The holy decree said that although Lin Wanyan committed a serious crime, and read it for the sake of the loyalty of the Lin family, the old Marquis Lin was allowed to collect the body for him, but he was not allowed to set up a mourning hall, and the ministers of the court were not allowed to mourn, and the corpse was only allowed to be parked in the Lin Mansion for one night, and the funeral was buried the next day.
When Lin Zhong transported Xi Muyu's body back to the Hou Mansion, he immediately consulted with Situ Yun and Ling Shuang to see how to send her out of the capital safely.
Xi Muyu was lying in the coffin, dressed in white and with black hair, his face was as usual, except for his lips were a little pale, there was nothing unusual about him, as if he was asleep.
In the afternoon, Situ Yun and Ling Shuang had already discussed. He and Lin Zhong were responsible for sending them out of the city, and the pill that brought them back to life was handed over to Ling Shuang to feed her, and then took her away from the capital of Longyang.
To tell the truth, Situ Yun was reluctant to send her away in his heart, but another condition that his father promised to save her was that she would stay away from the capital after waking up, and she would not be allowed to appear in front of their brother again. Moreover, her identity has been exposed, and if she is bumped into by Xi Bochang and Empress Xiao's people, I am afraid that it will set off a bloody storm.
It's just that when she leaves, I don't know if we can see each other again in this life. He reached out and gently brushed the hair from her ear and touched her little face. Looking at this woman he loved deeply but had to miss, all his affection turned into reluctance in his eyes.
Because of his infatuation, Ling Shuang did not stop his actions, but only sighed in his heart that the world is impermanent, and creation makes people.
"In order to prevent anyone from making trouble, tomorrow, we will leave the city as soon as the city gate is opened!" After being sad for a while, Situ Yun finally turned around and told them what he thought.
"Good! It is estimated that there will be no peace tonight, Lao Fu, pass on my words, all the lights and candles in the house will be lit tonight, all the guards will not be allowed to sleep, all of them will be guarded outside the hall, and the chairs and couches will be placed in the hall, and the old man will personally guard here to see who dares to pretend to be a ghost! ”
Seeing that Situ Yun and Lin Zhong were so affectionate and righteous to the young lady, Ling Shuang was deeply moved, and immediately kowtowed to them a few times: "Shuang'er thanked the prince and the old marquis on behalf of my young lady!" If Miss escapes this catastrophe, she will definitely repay the kindness of the two in the future! ”
"Miss Frost doesn't have to be polite! It is an honor for this king to do something for her, and I just look forward to the day when I can have tea with her in this life! ”
"Yes, why should the girl be polite, I want the Xi family and the Lin family to be generals in the same dynasty back then, the old man also admires General Xi, and the dog is even more sibling with the uncle, who would have thought that the two families that were once beautiful would end up in such a miserable situation!" Lin Zhong sighed deeply, "Whether she is Wanyan or not, the old man has already regarded her as his own granddaughter, if there is a fate to get together in the future, the old man still wants to hear her call 'grandpa'!" ”
Ling Shuang wiped her tears and nodded: "Yes!" Miss often said that she didn't know the love of her parents since she was a child, and it was rare for the old marquis to be so kind to her, and she had already regarded you as her own relatives in her heart! ”
After the three of them sighed beside the coffin of the pastoral rumor, Situ Yun returned to the house alone, leaving Lin Zhong and Ling Shuang to keep vigil.
In Yanfu Palace, Empress Xiao was furious and poured a cup of hot tea on the palace maid.
Armand hurriedly stepped forward to comfort.
Xi Bochang walked in with a black face.
Empress Xiao glanced at him, turned her face aside, and calmed down slightly.
"What are you angry with them! If you want to be angry, you should go to the Chengtian Temple! Xi Bochang said coldly.
The keen sense of smell told him that from Lin Wanyan's suicide in fear of crime to Lin Zhong's collection of corpses, as well as Situ Yu's surprising quietness, they were all inexplicably weird, but he couldn't find a flaw, and Emperor Shuntian became different from Lin Wanyan's true face, these things, everything didn't follow common sense, everything made him crazy, he couldn't wait to immediately lead his troops into the Chengtian Palace to finish him off, and took advantage of Situ Yu's absence in the capital to seize the throne, but ...... He looked at Empress Xiao next to him, thought of Situ Ji, and sighed slightly.
"He has hard bones now, and he would rather suffer the pain of ten thousand ants eroding his bones than insist on going his own way, I see how long he can last! I don't know what the war is going on, otherwise, you repair a letter and let Ji'er come back early, as long as Ji'er returns to Beijing, we will let him see his ancestors! Seeing that Emperor Shuntian was becoming more and more out of control, Empress Xiao and Xi Bochang thought of a piece.
"He should have gone to see his ancestor a long time ago, but the talisman hasn't arrived yet, and I'm just afraid that there will be complications and a big deal when the time comes!"
"After all these years, we have used both soft and hard, and we haven't even revealed the slightest bit of mouth, maybe there is no such thing at all, we are just scaring ourselves!"
Xi Bochang kept his face calm and didn't speak, thinking in his heart whether Emperor Shuntian still had the need to exist.
Empress Xiao vented, her heart was much more comfortable, and seeing that he didn't speak, she asked, "Are you going to go to the Lin Mansion tonight?" ”
"Don't go! Tonight, they will definitely send more people to guard Xi Muyu firmly, and my father will not join in the excitement, and the truth and falsehood will also make them spend their brains, and when they leave the capital tomorrow, they will wait for the opportunity to do it and kill them by surprise! Regardless of whether she is really dead or faked, Ming Japanese Gong told her to die without a corpse, see what else she can do! ”
"That's fine, out of the capital, it's better to start!" Empress Xiao felt that this method was more appropriate, and if she couldn't play it with her brain, she would fight hard.
Without Xi Bochang's involvement, the Hou Mansion was surprisingly quiet this night.
As a supervising officer, before dawn, Situ Yun came to the Hou Mansion, and when it was dawn, Lin Wanyan's coffin was carried by six family members, escorted by twenty-four guards to the city gate, and one of these guards was a slightly petite figure, which was in the Yiwang Mansion to recuperate for a few days.
At this moment, Situ Yu, disguised as a woodcutter, passed the city gate smoothly, and went to Qingfu with firewood on his shoulder.
As soon as he turned the corner, Lin Wanyan's coffin appeared on the other side of the street, no blowing, no crying, quiet and low-key.
