Pedal Pedal –

The horse's hooves stepped on the official road between the bamboo forests, and there were no lights around, and because of the heavy snow, he could barely see his fingers.

There are more than 100,000 people buried in the martyr's mound, and the people in the market naturally feel that the yin qi is too heavy, and there is nothing worth stealing in it, so except for the people of the official family watching from the ancestral hall, there is not even a ghost in other places.

Because he came out at night to run errands, there were torches, hoes and other objects hanging on the side of the horse, so Xu Buling lit a torch and trotted through the stone path between the bamboo and the sea.

It took about half an hour to come over, and the little arms around the waist were tightened, and the back was very warm, as if leaning on soft cotton.

Xu Buling thought that Xiao Manzhi was too shy to speak, and when he was about to arrive at the place, he was about to open his mouth to remind him, but there was a voice of "Huh~~~~~~~" behind him.

Yes, he fell asleep, and his heart was bigger than his.

Xu Buling raised his eyebrows, but he felt that the current situation was like a cold woman with gangsters, and it was really hard to say who would take advantage of whom.

The horses trotted around the ancestral hall outside the martyr's grave and soon came to a cemetery in the corner of Zhuhai.

The cemetery is the same as an ordinary cemetery, the grave mounds are neatly arranged in it, there are tombstones and sacrificial stone incense platforms in front, and the last one is the tomb of Liu Hou'er, and there are sacrificial articles in front, and most of the paper money scattered on the ground is covered by snow.

"Manzhi, don't sleep."

"Hmm...... Oh. ”

Zhu Manzhi woke up in a daze, and after realizing that he was asleep, he suddenly woke up, his face turned red, and he jumped off the horse.

Xu Buling turned over and dismounted, and took the hoe from the side of the horse. Zhu Manzhi took out the incense from Ma Ce's cloth bag and paid respects.

Xu Buling carried a hoe to look in the cemetery, where thousands of wolf guards who died were buried, and it was not troublesome to find them according to the time of their deaths. searched for the tombstone in turn according to the year of death, and soon found the grave of Lin Yang of Tianqiao Camp.

Because he died ten years ago, the graves here are all old, Lin Yang's grave is full of dead grass and broken branches, and the tombstone is also stained with some mud and water, and no one has worshiped for a long time.

Xu Buling is not afraid of ghosts and gods, but the least respect for the deceased is still there, and after wishing the full branch to worship Liu Hou'er, he took three incense sticks from her hand and lit them, inserted them in front of the grave, and burned some paper money before he came to the grave.

The snow is heavy and the wind is gusting.

Zhu Manzhi was actually a little scared, and digging people's graves has not been a good thing since ancient times, she stood beside the grave with a torch and hesitated: "Gongzi Xu, will this wolf guard senior come to you at night to settle accounts?" ”

Xu Buling raised the hoe for a moment, turned his head and said, "Forgot my mixed number?" ”

Zhu Manzhi blinked: "Eagle finger scattered? ”

"It's the little Yama."

Xu Buling glanced at her a little amusedly, and began to dig the grave.

Zhu Manzhi always felt cautious, for fear that something would come out, so he only dared to look at Xu Buling, and said without words:

"I heard Mr. Shu say that when Xu Gongzi was sixteen years old, he single-handedly ran to the territory of Northern Qi and killed more than 100 people, is it true?"

Xu Buling thought about it a little and nodded:

"I wanted to go to the capital of Northern Qi to see, but unfortunately there was a desert outside the pass, and the rogues were rampant, and I chased and killed for a few days and got lost, so I went back."

"Xiliang is beautiful, isn't it?"

"Hmm...... Close to the Western Regions and grasslands, it is not as prosperous as Chang'an, and it is certainly not as beautiful as Jiangnan......"

Zhu Manzhi listened quietly, thought about it, and asked: "There are rumors in the market that there are vassal kings who want to rebel and the court who want to cut down the domain, is it true?" ”

It's too reckless to ask, and I don't understand any evasion.

However, Xu Buling didn't care about this, thought about it seriously, shook his head and chuckled:

"I don't know, Da Yue is more than one vassal king...... When the first emperor was in power, my father and I went to Beijing to study, and now the saint is only at the age of the crown, and at that time they were all studying in the Wenqu Garden of the Guozijian, and the relationship was very good, and he also burned yellow paper and cut off the head of the chicken and worshiped the ......"

Zhu Manzhi blinked: "I heard...... King Su was very ...... in the capital back then Very eclectic? ”

Xu Buling waved his hoe and chuckled twice: "What's more, Chang'an back then, there were 'four evils in the capital', guess the four evils?" ”

Zhu Manzhi hooked the hair around his ears and shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"The four evils of the capital, the first three are the girls of Yingchun Building, the gambling stalls of Longyin Pavilion, and the Jianghu Lang of Hutai Street, and it is not a small trouble to touch one of them, and the fourth evil is my father, who was called a surprise in the capital back then, and there was a miasma of smoke everywhere, and whoever touched it was unlucky."

"And then?"

And then ...... My father returned to his fiefdom and inherited the throne unharmed, much more powerful than me. ”

Xu Buling shook his head a little ashamedly, and continued: "I haven't heard the elders talk about the rest of the matter...... The Holy One inherited the throne, and my father succeeded to the throne, and they never drank together again...... Until ten years ago, the Lu family in the East China Sea was not subject to the control of the imperial court, and in order to deter the world, the saint ordered King Su to lead troops to level the Lu family in the East China Sea. ”

Zhu Manzhi nodded: "I know this, the Iron Eagle Deer Hunting was involved, and many Jianghu people died...... The Lu family in the East China Sea is Xu Shizi's grandfather's family, right? ”

"yes."

Xu Buling's voice was flat: "My father was ordered to lead troops to crusade against the Lu clan in the East China Sea, although the blood of the killing was like a river, but in the end he did not slaughter the clan, but the Lu family in the East China Sea, which has been inherited for thousands of years, is still in a slump, and my mother is also ......."

After all, it was fused with memory, Xu Buling said this, his heart instinctively soured, but he couldn't say it anymore, only a light sigh remained.

In her memory, Princess Su was really good to Xu Buling, so good that Xu Buling didn't dare to think back to her childhood.

Zhu Manzhi pursed his lips, also a little sad, and thought about it:

"That'...... Didn't the princess be killed by the saints? ”

Xu Buling shook his head and continued to dig the grave: "This account is difficult to calculate. The East China Sea Lu clan disobeyed the order first, and it was difficult to calm the world if the court was uneven, and my father was the holy decree he received, because he didn't accept it, and it was the nearest King of Qi who went to quell the rebellion.

After that, although my father led his troops to the Lu family in the East China Sea, he finally saved the Lu family lineage privately, and only killed the head of the Lu family to give the court an errand...... That is, my grandfather.

The king let the minister die, and the minister had to die. Strictly speaking, my father disobeyed the emperor's orders. ”

Zhu Manzhi frowned tightly, and calculated for a long time before he whispered: "This account...... It's really hard to calculate, the court has a personal vendetta, and King Su resists the emperor's order...... No wonder there were rumors that the vassal king wanted to rebel and the imperial court wanted to cut the feudal domain. If you are from the rivers and lakes, I think King Su did the right thing and is very affectionate. ”

"Temples are not rivers and lakes, and they don't pay attention to righteousness."

Xu Buling sighed: "So, no one knows whether the rumors of 'the vassal king wants to rebel' and 'the court wants to cut the domain', after all, they all have motives, it's hard not to doubt ......"

As he spoke, there was a muffled sound of wood from under the hoe.

Boom......
