Chapter Ninety-Nine: Farewell!
"Uncle Xia, can you still go, or will I carry you on my back?" Yan Rong looked at Xia Linfeng, who was a little unsteady in his steps, and said.
"Xiaorong, I'm fine, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, one day we will all leave, Master he just went first, I just regret not being able to accompany me more, Master has no children and no daughters, I am his dearest person, and the future will be done according to what he said!" Xia Linfeng turned to look at the thatched hut in the mountains, turned around and tears rolled down.
"Uncle Xia, let's leave." Yan Rong said.
"Okay."
"Xiaorong, when will Chen Guanzhi be executed?" Yan Rong sent Xia Linfeng back to Xia Mansion, but Xia Linfeng was silent all the way, and didn't ask until Yan Rong was about to leave.
"Count the days, tomorrow at noon." Yan Rong said.
"Okay." Xia Linfeng had no expression, just nodded lightly.
"Xiao Rong, today's matter, you decide as you like, whether you want to tell the emperor about the Xia Mansion, or how, you make your own plans." Xia Linfeng said.
"Uncle Xia, it's your niece who is accompanying you today, not someone else." Yan Rong said with a smile.
"Yes, my niece." Xia Linfeng also smiled, but this smile became too much compared to Xia Linfeng's previous smile.
"Uncle Xia, I'll see you another day." Yan Rong said goodbye, Yan Rong sat on horseback and looked at the plaque of Xia Mansion, thinking about what the old master said at that time, there was once a skinny young man lying at the door of Xia Mansion, and a son in brocade clothes brought this young man into Xia Mansion.
Maybe they were happy at that time, the company of close friends, the happiness between master and apprentice, that time should also be the best time in Chen Guan's heart, even if this good time was broken by him himself, he was not willing to hurt his senior brother at all.
Just like he just mentioned Xia Linfeng's name at that time, Chen Guanzhi hurriedly cleared it up, he probably didn't want his senior brother to be stained with a little dirt, right and wrong, good and evil, just a human thought.
Rongwang's Mansion
"Coming back?" Nangong Li asked.
"Hmm." Yan Rong nodded and hugged Nangong Li directly, without speaking.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Li was confused.
"Nangong, don't speak, let me hug you." Yan Rong hugged Nangong Li beside him, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Nangong Li's body, and felt very relieved in his heart.
"What the hell is going on?" Nangong Li was hugged by Yan Rong for a while before asking.
"Chen Guanzhi will be executed tomorrow, and he left like this, his life is really fragile." Yan Rong said with a pretended sigh.
"Why, my general followed others to spy on other people's past, and he sighed here." Nangong Li said.
"Nangong, you said that everyone has a past behind them, and if there are regrets, wouldn't it be the most uncomfortable." Yan Rong said.
"That's right, so it's best not to leave regrets, okay, don't worry about other people's things, my father sent someone to pass the word, and when you are busy with this matter, we will go on an outing together, obviously we brought it up, but I didn't expect more and more people." Nangong Li changed the topic and said.
"Yes, the emperor is also coming, so isn't the queen also going to ask for it?" Yan Rong asked.
"No, it's Xia Niangniang, I heard my father say that Xia Niangniang misses you very much, that's why I have this thought." Nangong Li said sourly.
"Nangong, you also eat Sister Rou's vinegar, did you grow up from a vinegar jar?" Yan Rong looked at Nangong Li's expression and felt really funny.
"You, who let you eat this thing for both men and women, I don't know why you have so many people who want to look good and have no looks, and why are so many people rare." Nangong Li pretended to be angry and said.
"Yes, is that husband rare me?" Yan Rong said deliberately.
"Rare, I want to eat you now to relieve my hatred." Nangong Li pulled his face and entered the house.
"General, General." Bai Twilight shouted as she banged on the door.
"Shhh, what are you doing, the general and the prince are resting." Xiaohui hurriedly said.
"Who is this little girl of yours, I have something to do with the general, let me in, what is the general resting at noon?" Bai Du said with a look of disbelief.
"You, I really can't let you in." Xiaohui still blocked the way, it was the prince who said that no one would be allowed to enter, and he would have to fulfill his duties.
"What's the matter, Bai Dui, Xiaorong didn't come out?" Nangong Yu walked over and said.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, why are you here, Xiaohui should be damned." Xiaohui saw why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came at this hour.
"It's all right, what about your general?" Nangong Yu asked.
"General, she's resting ....."
"Nangong Yu?" Yan Rong had his hair scattered, his clothes were also messy, and the collar on his chest was tightly held by Yan Rong, and he looked like he got up in a panic.
"Xiaorong, why are you sleeping at this hour, is it because you are not feeling well?" Nangong Yu asked anxiously.
"I'm fine." Yan Rong just opened the side door, who would have thought that the other door next to him was opened by Nangong Li.
"What's the matter, who's looking for you?" Nangong Li opened his collar, a piece of spring light leaked, Nangong Li didn't expect that there would be so many people outside, Yan Rong blocked Nangong Li's figure and pushed Nangong Li in.
"Nangong Yu, you have something important to do with me, let's go to the study, I'll clean up a little." Yan Rong said.
"Okay." Nangong Yu was speechless, so he had to agree and turn around and leave.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." Bai Du looked at Nangong Yu's back and felt very lonely.
"Why did you come to me this time?" Yan Rong asked.
"I wanted to discuss with you about Chen Guanzhi's last thing, but I didn't expect you to be.... I was resting and was disturbed. Nangong Yu said.
"That, that's probably what happened to Chen Guanzhi, it's his son, what should we do?" Yan Rong asked.
"This, Chen Guanzhi's son and his family have not let go of their father until now, but in fact, we can have a way, but it is a little dangerous." Nangong Yu said.
"Prison robbery?" Yan Rong asked.
"No, substitution."
Following
"Lord Chen, it's time to be executed, it's time for me to take you to the execution ground." Yan Rong stood at the door of the prison in military uniform and said.
"Wait a minute, senior brother said he would come to see me, wait a little longer." Chen Guanzhi said.
"Okay, then wait a little longer." Yan Rong said.
"General, don't delay the hour!" Adjutant General Yang said.
"It's okay, General Ben will take care of it."
The hour passed slowly, but Xia Linfeng hadn't come yet, and Chen Guanzhi was obviously still a little anxious.
"Lord Chen, Xia Shangshu should have something to delay, we should set off, maybe we can meet on the road." Yan Rong said.
"Okay!" Chen Guanzhi lowered his eyes and said.
On the road, Yan Rong rode a horse in front, and behind him were today's prisoners, who were also high-ranking officials in the past. It has always been like this, if you become a king or lose, you lose, and you are the one who is reviled by the world.
Yan Rong glanced back and found that Chen Guanzhi lowered his head, yes, he used to be covered in brocade robes and admired by the people, but now everyone spurns them, shouting and beating them across the street, this kind of gap is unacceptable to anyone.
"Vice General Yang, let the people around you be a little more restrained, don't go too far." Yan Rong commanded.
I'm about to go to the execution ground, and I don't know what Nangong Yu is doing. Yan Rong knew that this matter could not be completed by Nangong Yu alone, so Uncle Xia's delay in coming was mostly for this matter, and whether Chen Guanzhi's son could be kept depends on today.
After arriving at the execution ground, there was still some time, Yan Rong ordered people not to act rashly, under the scorching sun, the person who took the light couldn't open his eyes, Yan Rong looked at the sun, there was not much time left, I don't know if the two of them can see each other again.
"General, the hour is coming soon." Vice General Yang reminded again.
"I'm not blind, I know." Yan Rong frowned and said.
"Yes, General."
"Lord Chen, maybe you can't wait for the person you want to wait for." Yan Rong stepped forward, walked in front of Chen Guanzhi and said.
"General, can you tell me if he went to see Master?" Chen Guanzhi asked.
"Yes, Uncle Xia went to see the old man, and he also knew some old things." Yan Rong didn't want to hide it.
"I've worked hard to hide the secret for so many years, but I didn't expect it to be known, what did you say the master told him to do, he is such a person, he can't keep thinking about this matter in his heart after knowing the truth, it's uncomfortable." Chen Guanzhi said with a smile.
"If you don't tell him and hide it from him for the rest of your life, will he be at ease for the rest of his life? He never knew why you were kicked out of the house at that time, didn't he doubt it in his heart? Yan Rong asked.
"He is the best son in this capital, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to apprentice, I couldn't get fame, and naturally I couldn't know him, he was my benefactor, similarly, he was different from others, he wasn't vulgar, he was not the same as his father, he wasn't as ruthless as his father, so I didn't want to hurt him, and I didn't want anyone to hurt him." Chen Guanzhi said slowly.
"In that case, why did you finally get this position, but you didn't cherish it, you said that Uncle Xia's father was vicious, what about you, the people you also harmed complained and suffered, what is the difference between you and them?" Yan Rong asked again.
"It's my fault, General Yan, you're still young, you don't understand, interests are consumed, you can't control yourself." Chen Guanzhi looked at Yan Rong's eyes and said.
"This is not a reason, this is your personal selfish desire, Lord Chen, be a good official in the next life, and make up for all the wrong things you have done!" Yan Rong looked at the time and said to Chen Guanzhi.
"Thank you, general, tell my senior brother for me, I really miss the time when I secretly drank wine and admired the moon on the wall, in the next life, I Chen Guanzhi is willing to be the head of the wall." Chen Guanzhi said with tears in his eyes.
"Master Chen, your son has been saved." Yan Rong is actually talking nonsense, and he doesn't know if Chen Guanzhi's son has been rescued, but he is just a dying person, so give him some comfort.
"Thank you, General." Chen Guanzhi kowtowed and said.
"Execution." Yan Rong gave an order, and Yan Rong saw Chen Guanzhi at the moment of the last execution, he was smiling and happy, perhaps, he had no regrets.
When you meet when you are young, the brothers you identify are a lifetime, and if you make a mistake, you will never leave!
