Chapter 115: Father
"Eight hundred miles expedited! Eight hundred miles expedited! A roll of yellow dust rolled and the horses galloped to the ground, but when they saw the figure of the man flickering, the postman flashed through the street and shouted: "Eight hundred miles urgent!" The gold medal is given, and the one who stands in the way dies! Then I saw the smoke and dust billowing out, and the post man had already ridden away!
Seeing this, Li Shu on the street consciously made way for the post guard, and after the post man left, the people gathered in groups of three or five to talk to each other!
Everyone is speculating, what happened? Ordered the imperial court to send an eight-hundred-mile expedited?
You must know that the 800 li expedited is the highest level of urgent documents transmitted in ancient times, if it is not an urgent matter, it will never send 800 li expedited, Li Man will obey the northern foreign governance, and the border of the Han Dynasty presents a scene of singing and dancing, because of this, the Han has not sent 800 li expedited for a long time!
The post guard rode his horse until the front of the Han Palace, and saw that there was a stone tablet as high as Zhang Yu in front of the palace gate, and the inscription was engraved on the stone tablet: The officials and the people were ordered to dismount here!
Seeing the stele, the postman hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and then came to the palace gate, knelt on the ground, held the imperial gold medal high above his head, and shouted: "Don't drive in Youzhou to distribute 800 miles of expedited under Xiangping City, you need to present it to Your Majesty in person!" ”
After being interrogated by the palace guards, the post guard, under the guidance of a small eunuch, went straight to the West Palace!
Outside the West Palace!
Before entering the temple, the guards were subjected to a more rigorous inspection, and after bathing and changing clothes, the door of the temple was slowly pushed open from the inside.
The postman raised his eyes, but was startled by the person in front of him.
The person in front of him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is tall, like a hill, giving people a full sense of oppression, this person's image is seriously inconsistent with the eunuch, but gives people a sense of déjà vu of a battlefield general!
"Come with me!"
The post guard was shocked, frowned secretly, and said in his heart: "This person speaks in a full voice, not like a eunuch!" He peeked at the back of the person in front of him, nodded secretly, and said, "It's really a human being who can't be seen!"
Take off your shoes and enter the temple!
The postman was startled again, he stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of the man's clothes!
"What?"
The post guard pointed to the saber on the waist of the person in front of him with a nervous face, and said in a trembling voice: "How can you wear a sword when you enter the temple and face the saint?" Are you crazy? ”
"Your Majesty has granted Jian Shuo the right to go to the palace with the sword, so you don't need to worry about it!" Jian Shuo said in a deep voice!
The post guard nodded suspiciously and said, "So good, very good!" ”
Liu Hong's body has long been hollowed out by beauty, and he is getting weaker and weaker.
Nowadays, Liu Hong often feels tired and difficult to sit for a long time, and often lies on the imperial couch to meet the courtiers, and interprets the sentence "It's better to sit upside down" to the fullest!
After seeing the emperor lying on the imperial couch, he saluted solemnly, and then held the official document marked with the words "Fly Immediately" above his head, and said: "Don't drive in Youzhou to distribute eight hundred miles of expedited!" ”
Liu Hong hurriedly sat up straight, lifted the curtain, and said, "Hurry up!" ”
Zhang Rang, who was standing on the side, stepped forward quickly, took the official document with both hands, carefully raised it above his head, came to Liu Hong's side, and knelt respectfully before handing the official document to Liu Hong's hands!
After receiving the official document, Liu Hong saw that the fire paint did not show the slightest sign of damage, so he was completely relieved!
After opening the official document and reading it at a glance and ten lines, Liu Hong's heart sank, and he muttered to himself: "Wuhuan Koubian! Li Man and his young son are trapped outside the city, fearing for their lives! ”
For Li Man, Liu Hong is both in love and afraid, in love with his martial arts, afraid of his family background, the first time he heard that Li Man was worried about his life, Liu Hong's heart suddenly became stunned!
Zhang Rang was good at observing words and feelings, and seeing Liu Hong's displeased face, he hurriedly drove the idlers out of the dormitory!
"Jian Shuo stays!" Liu Hong said in a deep voice!
"No!" Jian Shuo clasped his fists and saluted!
Strong and strong and strategic, Liu Hong trusts him, he often regards himself as a martial artist, and never mentions his identity as a eunuch!
Liu Hong handed the official document to Zhang Rang and asked him to read it by himself!
After watching it, Zhang Rang sighed and said softly: "Zizhong is in danger!" ”
In Zhang Rang's view, Li Man's death is a sure thing, Qiu Liju and others have blocked all Li Man's retreat with their intentions or unintentional, if they can be escaped by Li Man, then these people have really lived in vain for so many years!
"After Zizhong, who can go to the north to trouble?" Liu Hong asked!
"Zhuo County Order, Gongsun Zhan. Born in a wealthy family, brave and strategic, he is up to the task! Jian Shuo replied!
Zhang Rang smiled slightly and said: "Don't drive in Youzhou, Liu Bo'an, for the government and benevolence, won the hearts of the people, but he can be a big responsibility!" ”
Liu Hong nodded silently, then waved his hand tiredly, and said: "This matter is widely implicated, and it needs to be considered in the long run, so there is no need to rush for a while!" ”
Zhang Rang and Jian Shuo bowed and retired!
After leaving the temple!
Jian Shuo frowned and looked at Zhang Rang, and said, "Your Majesty doesn't seem to be satisfied with the people we recommend!" ”
Zhang Rang shook his head mysteriously and said, "Providence is unpredictable!" We can only follow the trend for a long time! ”
Jian Shuo glanced at Zhang Rang deeply, nodded, and said, "Zhang Gong is talented, wake up the dreamer with a word, and be taught!" ”
Looking at Jian Shuo's departing back, Zhang Rang let out a long sigh and muttered to himself: "Zhuyu is in front, and the tile stone is difficult to be!" ”
One day later!
The news of Li Man's death, with the urgency of the post guard's eight hundred miles, gradually spread in Luoyang like a flutter in the wind!
In Yuan's house!
Yuan Kui sat on the top, with a hint of sadness in his eyes!
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu stood quietly aside, listening to Yuan Kui's teachings!
Yuan Kui let out a long sigh and said, "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!" Zizhong's meritorious service is high, and it is not surprising that he has such an end! ”
Yuan Shao and the others nodded thoughtfully!
"Fortunately, I was able to keep all the corpses, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune!" Yuan Kui said!
Yuan Shu pursed his lips with disdain, and said, "I never thought that I would kill a Gongsun Zan halfway through, and I invisibly helped Qiu Liju!" Otherwise, Qiu Liju will definitely pay an even heavier price! ”
Yuan Shu's implication is that if Gongsun Chan did not pit Li Man behind his back, but joined forces with Li Man to unite with the outside world, at that time, Qiu Liju would definitely suffer a heavy blow, and Li Man and Gongsun Chan would not be able to get any good fruit to eat. Hassle-free
It's a pity that it backfired, and Gongsun Zhan's black belly almost flashed Yuan Shu's old waist, making his wishful thinking completely fail!
Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and said: "Leave a line for doing things, and we will meet in the future, don't do things too much!" ”
Yuan Shu glanced at Yuan Shao with disdain, and said coldly: "You are a gentleman, I am a villain, you will be a good person, and I will do bad things, okay?" ”
Yuan Shu relied on his identity as a son-in-law, never put Yuan Shao in his eyes, and when he talked to him, he was always yin and yang!
Yuan Shao snorted coldly and tilted his head to the side, too lazy to meet him in general!
Yuan Kui coughed lightly and said: "There are some things that you can't say, you can't see through them, but you can't say them thoroughly, you already know the way at the beginning, and the highway still needs to be sharpened!" ”
Yuan Shu shook his head and said unconvinced: "Shuzier, what is the way?" ”
Yuan Shao's angry muscles were rising, he couldn't tear Yuan Shu's stinky mouth, Yuan Shao was hindered by his identity and didn't want to meet him in general, but as a result, he always had to make inches!
Yuan Kui's brows were tightly locked, his intuition was as big as a fight, he glared at Yuan Shu angrily, and said, "Highway, you are presumptuous!"
Yuan Kui was still saying just now: There are some things that he can't say, but he was treated as a deaf ear by Yuan Shu, how can he not be angry?
Yuan Shu shrunk his neck, and then said with a smile: "Uncle taught me that my nephew knew that he was wrong, and if there was nothing else, my nephew would leave first!" ”
"Where do you want to go?" Yuan Kui asked in a deep voice!
"I want to go to the Li Mansion and comfort Lang Jun!" Yuan Shu replied!
Yuan Kui smiled and said, "It should be so!" ”
Yuan Shu saluted and left!
Yuan Shao didn't want to be left behind by Yuan Shu, so he saluted Yuan Kui and said goodbye!
The two of them turned over in front of the mansion and went straight to the Li Mansion!
Cao Cao walked alone on the street with a heavy heart, he had learned the news of Li Man's death from the mouth of Zhong Xuan, the servant of the Yellow Gate, he let out a long sigh, made a salute in the direction of Liaodong, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "The death of the prince is not a crime of war, but it is actually caused by a traitor who deceived the Holy Hearing!" ”
Meanwhile!
Li Yang and Han Bao bumped into Wang Liang who came to report the funeral!
Wang Liang was ordered by the Yang family to go to Luoyang to report the funeral of Li and Yang, Wang Liang ran and killed five fast horses along the way, and finally traveled more than 500 miles a day, it took less than six days to rush from Xiangping to Luoyang!
At this time, Li Yang and Han Bao did not know the news of Li Man's death.
When the two of them saw Wang Liang wearing vegetarian clothes, they immediately sank their faces!
Li Yang forcibly walked towards Wang Liang calmly, wanting to lead the horse for Wang Liang, but he didn't want to be weak under his feet, so he stumbled!
Han Bao was no better than Li Yang, he looked at Wang Liang who was struggling to dismount with a shocked face, his breathing gradually became short, and he obviously spoke with a trace of crying, and said in a trembling voice: "Because... Dai Xiao? ”
Wang Liang rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, because his legs were weak, and he couldn't stand steadily, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, his inner thighs were ground into a bloody blur due to the hurry, which made people unbearable to look at directly!
After seeing Li Yang and Han Leopard, Wang Liang's tears were like a flood that broke the embankment, and he couldn't stop it, he dragged his tired body, crawled in front of Li Yang with difficulty, clutched his trouser legs, howled and cried, and said: "The eldest son mourns, the lord was killed by a traitor, and unfortunately died in battle!" The main mother ordered me to come to report the funeral, and asked the son to return to Liaodong as soon as possible, take care of the funeral, and preside over the overall situation! ”
Li Yang stood on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning, he looked sideways at Han Bao, wanting to confirm with him, did he hear it wrong?
"Impossible!" Han Bao grabbed Wang Liang's clothes tightly, and with a little force, he lifted him up, Han Bao roared at Wang Liang with an angry face, and said: "My father is invincible in the world, how could he die at the hands of rats?" ”
"The third son.. He.." Wang Liang cried like a complaint, telling the ins and outs of the matter, 1510!
Li Yang couldn't hide his shock, and said bitterly: "Little Tiger, Little Tiger, he... Why do you keep teaching and don't change? Why do you always have such a short memory?"
Han Leopard intuitively felt that his chest was tight, he exhaled a long breath, turned around, and staggered towards the mansion.
Han Leopard's back, lonely, lonely and sad, unbearable to look at!
Han Bao crossed the bluestone path, crossed the corner gate, and walked straight to his inner house!
Lai Ying'er held up a huge pregnant belly, and was sewing a sweater for the child who was about to give birth with a loving face, seeing Han Bao walking towards the courtyard with a sad face, she was about to step forward to say hello to her, but she didn't want Han Bao to seem like she didn't see her, and directly left her aside!
When Han Bao was about to pass by with him, Lai Ying'er called softly: "Husband..."
"Huh?" Han Bao's eyes widened angrily, and a low "um" came out of his throat? At this moment, Han Leopard is like a fierce beast that wants to choose people and devour, and his whole body is full of living people, don't approach!
Han Bao's eyes were blank, and he looked at Lai Ying'er who wanted to cry without tears with an expressionless face, and said angrily: "Do you want to die? ”
When he first heard the bad news, Han Bao was extremely angry and irritable, at this moment, he just wanted to find a random excuse to vent to his heart's content!
Lai Ying'er was so frightened by Han Leopard that she retreated again and again, and kept saying: "Husband, I'm Ying'er, I'm Ying'er!" ”
Han Bao seems to be deaf to this, his mind is being greatly tested, anger has almost dropped his mind to the freezing point, at this time, Han Bao urgently needs a spiritual mentor to relieve him of the anger and obsession in his heart!
As far as Han Leopard's eyes can see, there are Hu people's figures, slaves, maidservants, and Ying'er!
At this moment, an angry roar came into Han Bao's ears from behind Ying'er:
"Have you forgotten all of your father's teachings? Ah Leopard, do you want your father to die without turning a blind eye? ”
After Han Bao left, Li Yang was really not at ease, so he followed, and as a result, he happened to encounter the scene just now, so Li Yang was in a hurry and used the name of Li Man to resolve the anger in Han Bao's heart!
Han Bao was slightly stunned, and the remaining trace of reason reoccupied the high ground again, he looked around, swept over the faces of Li Yang and Lai Ying'er one by one, silently hooked the corners of his mouth, and turned around and walked towards the courtyard again!
Lai Ying'er was about to step forward to comfort her, but was stopped by Li Yang, Li Yang endured her sadness and said, "Don't disturb him yet, let Ah Bao be quiet alone!" ”
Lai Ying'er bowed her head silently, looked at Han Bao's back with a worried face, sighed helplessly, and then said goodbye to Li Yang, and left with her stomach up!
After appeasing Han Bao, Li Yang didn't have time to grieve, so he ordered someone to prepare a horse.
There are still many things that need to be handled by him personally, for example, entering the palace to ask Liu Hong for resignation, going home to mourn, and keeping filial piety for Li Man for three years!
Han Bao drove all his subordinates out of the courtyard and walked to the inner room alone!
Gently closing the door and blowing out the dim oil lamp, Han Bao fell down on the couch, buried his head deep in the soft pillow, and couldn't stop letting out a crazy roar in his mouth:
"Father!"
