Song Zhiyao snorted and said calmly. "Where could such a thing be? The walls of this courtyard are high, and the family patrols them, so there will be no accidents. ”

She slept in the house with her old mother. It's just that in my heart, I always think about Si Baihong. "He's got a wife, and he's not going to do that again."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh to herself. "He has a child, and it's a matter of time, that's his heart, so naturally he won't look for me."

After thinking about it for a long time, Song Zhiyao finally felt at ease. At this time, a heavy cough came from the mother's mouth. "Girl, bring me saliva."

Song Zhiyao stretched out her hand and touched her old mother's forehead, feeling a burst of heat. "Mother, you have a fever, Yao'er go down and bring a bowl of soup and medicine."

The old mother exhaled and waved her hand. "Girl, don't bother, my mother has always been like this." Song Zhiyao walked down and brought a large bowl of clear water.

As she spoke, she lifted the old mother up and moistened her lips with the clear water. And he brought herbs and told the old mother to drink them.

After a while, the temperature above the old mother's head dropped. "Girl, my mother is useless, an old bone, I only know how to toss people here."

Listening to her mother's words, Song Zhiyao felt sad in her heart. "Mother, what are you talking nonsense? I will definitely live a long life, but it's just a small problem. ”

The old mother hugged Song Zhiyao, her cheeks twitched, and she said meaningfully. "Mother lives for a day, and the family is happy for a day, so it's fine."

Song Zhiyao comforted her old mother again and gently pressed her back. After a while, the two of them fell asleep together.

Early the next morning, Song Zhiyao got up from the bed and looked outside. The gray and black clouds floated in the air, and the surrounding area was very dark.

She thought of Si Baihong's words last night. "I'll go now, and don't let my family know, that's fine." At that moment, the door creaked open.

The old shopkeeper of Song Dongwei was wearing a neat white placket and a neat headscarf. "Girl, it's time to eat, and a distinguished guest has come to visit."

Song Zhiyao was surprised in her heart. "Could it be Si Baihong?" She put on a beautiful skirt, dressed neatly, and looked out the door.

When she got to the door, she found that it was Hou Qu, Xiong Li. "Miss, our young general, specially called the two of us to come and carry you a sedan chair."

Song Zhiyao looked out the door, and several people carried a black sedan chair. "Dad, Yao'er will come when she goes, and when it is noon, she will come back for dinner."

The old shopkeeper didn't know what to do, but just waved his hand and said. "Watch out on the road." Song Zhiyao raised her feet, sat in the sedan chair, and closed the curtain.

Inside was Si Baihong, looking at Song Zhiyao, he made a look of greeting, the rosary in his hand turned, the corner of his mouth, and there were words.

Looking at him, it was both solemn and a little funny. Song Zhiyao smiled slightly. "I didn't expect you, the major general, to be an interesting person."

She didn't sleep well last night. Raise your head and lean back. Outside the sedan chair, it was full of noisy shouts and shouts of the people.

Although Song Zhiyao said that her eyes were closed, a colorful scene appeared in front of her, the earthly world and the present world were combined into one, and she couldn't distinguish between the false and the real.

She let out a long sigh. "Did I dream of a butterfly, or did a butterfly dream of me, it's hard to trace, life is a lifetime, but it's just auspicious."

The sedan chair walked for a long time and came to a dense mountain forest. Hou Qu said. "Two distinguished guests, the place has arrived." The two got out of the sedan chair.

Song Zhiyao looked at the temple, all of which were made of black yew wood, and on both sides, there were towering Buddha statues, and the little monk was chanting scriptures.

She sighed. "I've never seen such a magnificent temple." In front of the temple gate, two monks walked by, wearing a pure blue and white robe.

Si Baihong walked slowly and saluted the monk. "Monk, you have worked hard." As he spoke, the two walked into the temple gate, and the corridor was very wide, echoing the sound of footsteps.

It was a long time before they reached the Buddha statue. The Buddha statue is shining with golden light and has a smile on its face. "I'll get down on my knees, and you can just watch."

Song Zhiyao looked at this solemn scene, and didn't dare to speak, just stood quietly next to Si Baihong. He fell to his knees.

The monk, holding a cinnabar pen in his hand, pointed it on his forehead. "Donor, this is the sand of broken love, which can remove the roots of those delusions."

The red dots on Si Baihong's head are bright. He looked at the Buddha statue and kowtowed three times in a row. He lifted up again and held the incense tightly.

He lit incense and planted it in front of the Buddha statue. "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south." A burst of white smoke, carrying dust, drifted on him together.

After a long time, Si Baihong shouted. "Enlightened!" Stretching out his fingers, he went into the hot incense ash, and in an instant, there was a stabbing sound.

Looking at that scene, Song Zhiyao was frightened. "He would do something like that." Si Baihong raised his hand, his fingers were already red and swollen.

The monk took Si Baihong and went to the water tank together. There was a bang, and the red sand and red and swollen fingers were soaked in water.

After a while, Si Baihong folded his hands, looked at the monk, and bowed a few times in a row. "Let's go! Let's go and wait for the Imperial Brother. ”

With that, Song Zhiyao followed him and got into the sedan chair. Si Bai Hongtou leaned on the side and said. "I'm so sleepy, let's sleep for a while."

1 After this ritual, Si Baihong has forgotten everything. Song Zhiyao looked at him, took a wet towel in her hand, and gently covered his head.

At the same time, Liu Yichen was also ready to enter the palace. With a group of retinues, he walked outside the palace gate and ordered the guards to open the door.

Those guards, seeing that it was Liu Yichen, all bowed and saluted. "Brother Huang, auspicious." He approached the main hall and saw the emperor.

Seeing that it was him, the emperor opened his arms and hugged Liu Yichen heavily. "I've missed you for a long time, and today I'm finally back safely, it's very good."

Those attendants, kneeling respectfully. The emperor waved his hand. "Flat." The retinues also brought the local products they brought.

Liu Yichen said to the emperor. "Your Majesty, the villain arrived in Tianzhou, except for a few thousand smugglers, beheaded Ma Feng, and severely punished Cao Shilang."

Listening to his words, the emperor smiled. "This Ma Feng, I also know, is also a treacherous and cunning person, and his reputation is very evil, and he couldn't be taken before."

Then the Emperor said. "Even so, it is not allowed to kill people indiscriminately, in order to demonstrate the majesty of the law of the land, that is, there must be solid evidence."

Listening to the emperor's words, Liu Yichen nodded and said. "All those private salts have been pressed into the house, and the confessions are all irrefutable."

The Emperor laughed. "Good brother, that's right, that's right, the court is clear and disciplined, everyone is gracious, and there is no reason to make trouble and slander."

The two were chatting about speculation, and the little prince was wearing a golden dragon robe and holding a book of Analects in his hand. "Your Majesty, the child wants to go out and play."

Looking at the cute appearance of the little prince, Liu Yichen smiled and grabbed his sideburns. "Holy Lord, this little dragon species is really sensible and obedient."

Listening to Liu Yichen's words, the emperor also smiled. Holding his hands, he picked up the little prince. "Son, listen to your uncle, and learn well."

The little prince stared at Liu Yichen with ignorant eyes and looked at Liu Yichen curiously. "Uncle Huang, children don't understand, children reading these words is always like reading a book from heaven."

As he spoke, the emperor waved his hand and ordered the palace maid. "Tea." Several palace maids, twisting their slender figures, brought a few cups of fragrant tea.

Liu Yichen drank tea, picked up the Analects, and read them aloud. "See the virtuous and think together, see the unvirtuous, and introspect." Word by word, read clearly.

The little prince followed Liu Yichen and read childishly. After a long time, he raised his head and whispered. "It's just a child, I don't know what that means."

The emperor looked at his innocent appearance and smiled. "That is to say, when you meet a wise person, you must learn from him, and when you see an unvirtuous person, you must reflect on yourself."

Listening to the emperor's words, the little prince asked suspiciously. "But the Father, who is wise? The child does not understand the meaning of the word. ”

The emperor pointed at Liu Yichen and said with a smile. "Just like you, the emperor's uncle, who can calm the affairs of the world when he enters, and who can live in peace and keep his virtues when he retreats, he is the most virtuous person."

Listening to the emperor's words, Liu Yichen was embarrassed and embarrassed. "Holy Lord, how can this be? The villain is nothing but impartiality. ”

The little prince looked at Liu Yichen, his eyes rolling thoughtfully. "Father, the child knows, and he will learn from the emperor's uncle in the future."

The two were amused together, and the emperor took another sip of tea and continued. "Brother, stay in the palace tonight, I have a good baby for you."

Looking at the emperor's expression, with a mysterious look, Liu Yichen was also a little puzzled. After a while, they finished their tea and arrived at the harem.

The emperor stretched out his hand and pointed to a few handsome palace maids. "I know you, and I'm going to get married, let these girls go to the house to be maids."

Those palace maids, one on top and one elegant and beautiful. Liu Yichen also understood. "Thank you, it's just that secret, I beg the saint to keep it."

The emperor looked at him and whispered. "Naturally, I won't be like this, but it's good for you to be able to defend the country with peace of mind and remember family affection when you retreat."

The palace maids hugged them and knelt down gently. "Your Majesty, the little girl will take care of the royal brother well, and she will never dare to slack off in the slightest."

Liu Yichen also knelt down. "Thank you, Your Majesty." The Emperor laughed. "Get up, I still want to hear how Yue Hanlin is doing in the place."

Liu Yichen replied. "Your Majesty, Yue Hanlin is there, he is very diligent and respectful, and he also advises farmers to teach Sangsang, in the opinion of a villain, it is not bad."

The Emperor laughed. "In my opinion, although he has been in the court for a long time, his morality is really beyond reproach. You have to be diligent and encouraged to see the after-effects. ”

Several of them replied together. "What Your Majesty said is very true." The emperor pulled Liu Yichen and said with a mysterious smile. "I have something good for you."

Liu Yichen was full of curiosity, and followed the emperor into a secret room. There was a large basin of water with colorful fluorescence in it.

Liu Yichen looked carefully, and it turned out to be a giant clam with colorful patterns on it. "I give you this mussel, and I wish you many children and many blessings."

Hearing the emperor's words, Liu Yichen smiled. "The villain is grateful, I only want to have more children, raise them to grow up and become talents, learn literature and martial arts, and serve Dongsheng."

Then the emperor took out a long piece of colored silk from the cabinet beside him. "This is the King of Songmo, who entered the court to pay tribute, so give it to Yao'er."

Liu Yichen twisted the silk in his hand, which was as smooth as water, and the colored fluorescence kept shaking. "I can't imagine that there are such good things over there."

The Emperor also said. "Yes, that Song Desert Country, although it is far away outside the Saiwai and has a mountainous coast, it is also a large number of soldiers and generals, so it has to be guarded against."

Looking at the emperor's expression, Liu Yichen smiled. "Although they are cunning, it's just that I am victorious to the Heavenly Empire, and there are certain rules."

The Emperor smiled kindly. "If we can restore righteousness, it is how they are, we don't have to be afraid, brother, it's really hard for you."

The eunuchs and the palace maids came together and carried the giant clam to the car. Liu Yichen thanked the emperor and got into the car with the palace maids.

Those palace maids danced gracefully and made all kinds of coquettish gestures. It's just that Liu Yichen didn't react to them.

He said kindly and sternly. "Ladies and gentlemen, if you are in love with the world, I will return it to you and give you some silver taels, it doesn't have to be like this."

Those palace maids looked at Liu Yichen's face, and they knew that he was not interested in themselves, and several people looked at each other and smiled embarrassedly.

As night falls, a bright moon rises. Liu Yichen looked outside and also remembered Song Zhiyao. "I haven't seen her for a long time, I guess she's in a hurry."
