Chapter 60: Sister and Brother Reunited
The subordinates who were raised by the gate lords saw that most of the superiors called themselves subordinates, but the Chinese army and the Fuzhou soldiers claimed to be subordinates. Qi Xiao was called subordinate at this time instead of his subordinate, indicating that he completely regarded Xu You as the master of the army, and was no longer the Xu Xiaoqilang who ran around behind his ass back then.
Time is changing, and so are people!
After a long conversation all night, until the east was slightly white, taking advantage of the light of the sky, Xu You found that the valley he was in was almost a miracle of creation, surrounded by mountains, and he could see the sky when he looked up. , two deep inclined ditches like human arms, from the side of the valley entrained, when the rainfall is large, you can discharge the flood and eliminate the disaster, the rainfall can be small to store water for your own use, as far as the eye can see, lush, fresh fruit is dense, the houses in the valley are lined up, Qianmo from the horizontal, as if in the peach blossom spring, the heart is relaxed.
"After we leave, you immediately start to arrange, with your henchmen as the leader, travel lightly, dozens of people at a time, go to Qiantang in batches, and try to avoid the eyes and ears of others. Time, within two months, take my handwritten letter to Mingyushan to find He Wei, and he will make a proper disposal. Xu You ordered him to take pen and ink, write a few lines and hand them to Qi Xiao, and said: "I have to send people to contact the old Xu clan scattered all over the place, so that they can gradually gather in Qiantang." Brother Qi, the world will be chaotic, only by strengthening your own power as much as possible, retreating can save your life, enter to worship the prime minister, success or failure, in one move! ”
"No!"
Zong Yu Zuoqiu and the others were still very confused when they came out of the prison, Xu You and Qi Xiao played again, and Qi Xiao announced that they had found two priceless jade recipes from Xu You, which was enough for the ransom they had kidnapped this time, and then blindfolded them with black cloth again, tied everyone in a row, and escorted them to the outside of the valley, and even returned all the weapons they carried.
There is only one way out of the valley, first through a low tunnel dug to the top of the mountain, and then through a hidden suspension bridge to the other side of the mountain. Xu You and Qi Xiao waved goodbye, and then looked back, the clouds and mist were shrouded, the mountains and forests were blind, no wonder the Taishou Mansion couldn't find the location of the immortal thief, such a treasure land that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if it is found, what can it be?
Hearing the group of thieves withdraw, raising his hand to tear off the black cloth, Zuoqiu Sijin looked at Xu You, his eyes full of surprise. Zong Yu was not a fool, he made a look, and the three of his subordinates quietly walked to the flank and rear, pressed the handle of the knife with their hands, surrounded Xu You Qingming, and said, "Huang Langjun, should you give me an explanation?" ”
"Zong Langjun is not strange, I have no ill intentions towards a few people. It's just a coincidence that the immortal thief has a bit of a relationship with Zaixia, so he accepted my jade and promised to let us go, isn't this a good thing? ”
"A good thing? We infiltrated the bandits' dens in order to find out what was true. It's good now, not only did I get nothing, but I was sent back and forth like a pig and a dog. Well, since you have something to do with thieves, please come with us to Taishou Mansion. ”
Xu You smiled and said, "Zong Langjun, you may not have seen the situation clearly...... Clear and bright! ”
As soon as the words fell, Qingming disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he was behind Zong Yu. He was so frightened that he didn't have time to draw his knife, so he used his elbow as a weapon and slammed it back, and at the same time his steps were staggered, his body was lying on his back and spiraling, the long knife swished out of its sheath, and the cold light crossed the arc and slashed at Qingming's forehead.
These two tricks are quite wonderful, but when encountering Qingming, it can only be said that Zong Yu has no luck, the person is in mid-air, his chest is slightly numb, he falls to the ground with a puff, and the sharp pain in his wrist is sudden, and the knife somehow reaches Qingming's hand, and he can't move anymore.
Zuoqiu Sijin stopped the three entourages who wanted to make a move, stared at Xu You with beautiful eyes, and said, "Who are you?" Why is there a little grandmaster guarding his side? ”
When Qingming rescued people on the boat, he only showed light cultivation, and he couldn't see the depth, and Zong Yu was already a master of entering the product, but he was held like a joke, and only the little grandmaster who broke the gate of Wupin Mountain could easily do it.
The corners of Xu You's lips raised slightly, and he said, "Who are you?" The officials of the Taishou Mansion? No, I don't think so, you are bold and reckless, you don't follow the rules, where is it like the caution of the officials who do not seek merit but seek no fault? I heard that Corporal Wang Lixian of Linchuan has gathered many strange people from the rivers and lakes in the palace, and I think a few of them seem to be the doormen of the palace......"
Zuoqiu Sijin said coldly: "How about the officials, and what about the guests?" It's better than some people hiding their heads and showing their tails, sneaking up and doing the right thing! ”
"Really?"
Xu You chuckled and said: "The officials of the Taishou Mansion went to find Zhucao Xiangrui, which can be regarded as Yu Taishou's loyalty to the imperial court. But if the king of Linchuan privately sent someone to find the vermilion grass, if it reached the ears of the imperial court...... Ha, the girl might as well guess, what will I think today? ”
Zuoqiu Sijin suddenly changed color, and said: "King Linchuan is the same as Yu Taishou, both for the court to seek auspiciousness, what is the crime?" ”
Xu You just deceived them, seeing that the situation should have something to do with the King of Linchuan, he said lightly: "He is the sixth son of the first emperor, this is a crime!" The girl can gamble to see if the court believes my words or yours? ”
Zuoqiu Sijin's slender jade hand pressed to his waist, his eyes showed a sense of determination, and said, "Crouching Tiger Division, yellow-eared dog?" ”
If Xu You is really from Sili Mansion, even if he dies here, he can't let him leave alive. But after thinking about it, the other party has a small grandmaster sweeping the formation, and the chance of winning is almost zero, but the disaster is their fault, no matter what, they can't take half a step back.
Perhaps, everyone died in battle, and there is no proof of death, and the king of Linchuan can escape the catastrophe!
Zong Yu was so shocked that his whole body was as stiff as iron, and his eyes were full of pleading when he looked at Zuoqiu Sijin, and said, "Zuoqiu, don't do it!" Listen to me, listen to me! Yellow...... Huang Langjun, we do ...... It is indeed a guest of the Linchuan Palace, but the Linchuan King has no two hearts for today, and he was preparing to congratulate Jinshang on his accession to the throne earlier, so he tried his best to find auspiciousness everywhere. No, the white dragon of the remaining water is out of the holy virtue today, but it should be in Linchuan, isn't it the will of heaven to show the brotherhood of the emperor and His Royal Highness? ”
Xu You laughed and let Qingming let go of Zong Yu. Zong Yu rubbed his neck, still a little incredulous, did he really pick up a life by his tongue?
Zuoqiu Sijin also saw that Xu You did not have evil intentions at this time, the taut strings relaxed a little, and asked again with a puzzled face: "Who are you?" ”
Xu You smiled and said, "Qiantang Xu You, and your Royal Highness...... It's a relative! ”
"Evening light? Xu Weizhi? ”
Zuoqiu Sijin was completely stunned!
The next day and night, there were no more waves along the way, and everyone left Pansnake Mountain safely, and traveled for five days to arrive at Linchuan City. Zuoqiu and others reported that they entered the palace directly without hindrance and met An Xiulin and Xu Shunhua.
An Xiulin glanced at it, his figure was not tall, although he was young, he looked old, especially his hair was thin, he wore a virtuous crown, and he was wrapped in a thick curtain, but he still couldn't hide the lonely and pitiful three or five hairs.
Speaking of baldness, this is an eternal problem that has been going on for thousands of years. At the beginning, Wang Mang usurped the Han, and his hair was bald and could not see people, so he pioneered the habit of adding a curtain in the crown and hat, and the people of the time jokingly called "Wang Mang bald, and the house of Shi". You must know that this kind of thing is exclusive to lowly people, Wang Mang is an emperor, but he is willing to wear it on his head to meet courtiers, it is conceivable that the inferiority complex and depression caused by hair loss cannot be avoided even by saints.
When he arrived at Cao Pi, he still suffered from hair loss, and until he died, he was still depressed. Miraculously, Wang Mang usurped the Western Han Dynasty and became bald, and Cao Pi usurped the Eastern Han Dynasty and became bald, so the curse of the old Liu family echoed in the world:
The usurper will be bald!
and then to the An family, usurping Wei and standing up, but the result is still unable to avoid the fate of the bald head, maybe this is not the curse of the old Liu family, but the fate of all usurpers!
Xu You didn't pay too much attention to An Xiulin's hair problem, and after Shi Li visited, he told everything he saw and heard in Jinling, of course, the focus was on the ruthlessness and brutality of An Xiuming's father's murder, and the tragic situation of the emperor's blood flowing in the night of the palace change, adding oil and vinegar is tantamount to hell on earth.
An Xiulin's face was pale, he walked to the door, knelt down in the direction of Jinling, and wept silently. Xu You stood behind him, and with the art of illuminating all things, he could sense An Xiulin's pain and sorrow from the heart, where there was the attachment to his father, the wailing of his brother, the fear and panic of father and son cannibalism, and the confusion about the unknown road ahead.
An Xiulin is a kind person, Xu You vaguely remembers what he said when he first met He Wei. With He Wei's bitter and mean heart, he knew all the ugly experiences in the world, but he still gave An Xiulin a kind evaluation without hesitation.
Yes, Anshulin should be a kind person, but in the face of the current treacherous situation, kindness is not the most suitable character!
However, Xu You has no choice!
I don't know how long it took, An Xiulin shook his body a few times, so heartbroken that he fainted. Xu Shunhua ordered someone to carry him into the inner room, summoned the doctor to check the pulse, and it was no big problem, and then repelled many palace maids and eunuchs, leaving Xu You and her alone!
Since I saw Xu Shunhua just now, her attitude towards Xu You was lukewarm, far less cordial than An Xiulin, which would make her complexion even colder, she took the bamboo pole used to hang the palace lantern, walked to Xu You, and said, "Kneel!" ”
Xu You lifted the hem of his robe and knelt down.
Syllable!
The bamboo pole struck the back.
Xu Shunhua scolded angrily: "I have been waiting for you in Linchuan for six years, and you only came today, should you fight?" ”
Xu You lowered his head and said: "My brother is late, I am willing to be punished by my sister!" ”
Syllable!
Another shot!
It's a little lighter than just now.
"The bones of the entire Xu clan are gone, and they can't be seen when they die! As a son-in-law, but you are reluctant to live secretly, and you recognize the thief as your father, should you be beaten? ”
"In vain for the son of man, he should be beaten!"
Syllable!
"Six years! Six years! ”
Xu Shunhua circled around Xu You, his phoenix eyes were red, tears fell like rain, and said: "For more than two thousand days and nights, those dog thieves are in their own positions, and they can rest easy, what have you done?" Have you ever killed a man, have you eaten his flesh, have you ever drunk his blood? ”
Syllable!
Xu Shunhua took off her hair bun, revealing the top of her head, she was originally wearing a hair, that is, a wig, and said: "I have a white head overnight, only in this way people live without ghosts." You're a man's husband,"
Syllable! Syllable!
Dozens of times in a row, Xu Shunhua looked like crazy, until he broke the bamboo pole into two sections, sat down on the ground, clasped the gap in the masonry with both hands, oozed blood from his fingertips, and wept on the ground!
Xu You didn't know that she had been tormented and tortured over the years, her mother's family was punished, her husband's family was the enemy, and Zonglangjun did not give up, how could she deal with herself? There is no way to take revenge, there is no way to vent hatred, and there is not even a person who can say what is in her heart, for women, living in the world, almost the same as the underworld, or she will not be so obedient to vent, otherwise she will not be depressed in her heart, I am afraid that she will not live for a few years.
"Sister!"
Xu You knelt down, hugged Xu Shunhua into his arms, gently stroked her back, and said: "Now that I'm here, everything will be over, An Zidao, An Xiuming, Shen Muzhi and Sun Guan, everyone will pay the price and bury my Xu family's soul!" ”
Xu Shunhua raised his head, his pretty face was distorted and terrifying, and said, "You promise?" ”
"I promise!"
Xu You touched her forehead, his eyes were shining, all within reach, and said: "In less than a year, I want to restore Yixing County, and then set up an ancestral hall, with Xu as the four surnames, then Huayu, and then for the anointing, life and life, forever and respectfully!" ”
The surname of the county, to the Chinese scholars to send the first valve to read for the system, where the three generations have three princes said to anoint Liang, there are orders, servants said Hua Yu, Shangshu, collar, protection and the upper person is the surname A, Jiuqing if the Fang Bo is the surname B, the loose cavalry permanent servant, the Taizhong doctor is the surname C, the official Lang is the surname Ding, so there are poems: Wuling Hao, full of the court; The four surnames are good, well-known Yongxiang.
Xu Shunhua closed his eyes slightly, looked serene, and said in a low voice: "It's good that you're here!" ”
