"A-Niang" Yuwentai escorted Er Zhuyan all the way to Chang'an City, fortunately, before He Bayue received the news that Er Zhurong was killed, he was worried that Er Zhuyan would go back to Taiyuan to find Yeena, so he sent people to look all the way, and finally found Yeyana near Pingyao, so he flew a pigeon and passed a book to Er Zhuyan to let her go directly to Chang'an.

Seeing that her mother was safe all the way, Er Zhuyan was a lot more relieved. "Brother Heba, thank you, thank you for taking care of my aunt all the way" After speaking, Er Zhuyan lifted her clothes and knelt down for He Bayue with a bang.

"What is the eldest lady doing, the king of Taiyuan has a life-saving grace for my Heba family, and now that the king of Taiyuan has passed away, Mrs. is the only relative of the young lady in this world, and the subordinates will definitely protect Mrs. " said, He Bayue slowly helped Er Zhuyan up. Along the way, he could see that Er Zhuyan was a lot haggard, and even Yu Wentai, who was standing on the side, had lost a lot of weight. I think I haven't had a good night's sleep recently, my eyes are full of red bloodshots, I haven't eaten or drunk well, and there are several dead skin on the corners of my mouth.

He Batyue helped Er Zhuyan up, and then said to the attendants below, "Tell me to go down, let the kitchen cook some delicious meals, and send them into the room in a basin of hot water" As he spoke, He Batyue said to Er Zhuyan, "Miss, you go down with Atai to rest first, and I will let them bring the food into the room later."

Er Zhuyan looked at He Bayue, and slowly said two words "thank you", Er Zhuyan poured into the arms of her mother Yeyana after speaking, and tears flowed down in an instant, "A-Niang"

"I've suffered a lot along the way," Ye Yana stroked Er Zhuyan's messy hair, and her heart was also full of pain. Since she began to chant and worship the Buddha, she has seen the matter of life and death much more clearly than she originally saw. Especially knowing the news of the death of her eldest son Er Zhu Bodhi, she almost turned her back on it, if she didn't think about Er Zhuyan, a clever and lovely daughter, she would definitely not endure the humiliation and steal life until now, as early as after knowing that Er Zhurong died, she lit Taiyuan Mansion with a fire.

Er Zhuyan touched her tears and said, "It's not bitter, when I see A-Niang, even if I give me a piece of Coptis chinensis, I will feel that it is sweet", after speaking, Yeyana touched Er Zhuyan's hair, and Er Zhuyan thought of the news of Er Zhurong's absence, and said with tears in her eyes, "A-Niang, father, he" Before Er Zhuyan finished speaking, Yeyana pretended to be calm and choked up.

"Life and death have fate, all kinds of reincarnation, but I pity my ignorant child" Speaking of which, Yeyana has long regarded the life and death of Erzhurong, since Erzhurong launched the Heyin Change, all this, Yeyana has long expected, but he didn't expect that God would be so unfair and take Erzhubodhi's life. After speaking, Ye Ye wiped her tears, pushed Er Zhuyan up, and then said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, you're tired all the way, let Pu Juan take you down to freshen up" Saying, Pu Juan walked over slowly.

"Miss" said, Pu Juan hugged Er Zhuyan tightly, and tears fell in an instant.

"Ajuan" Er Zhuyan looked at Pu Juan, who grew up together, although this time was not the longest separation time after her many runaways, but it was also the most tortuous.

"Miss, I almost thought that I would never see you again in the future, Miss, don't leave Pu Juan in the future, whether it is life or death, Pu Juan is willing to be with Miss." Pu Juan hugged Er Zhuyan tightly, as if she had obtained a treasure. Er Zhu Yan asked and hugged her tightly, along the way, there were too many things of joy and sorrow, she couldn't imagine that the Taiyuan Erzhu General's Mansion, which had been leveled by singing and dancing in the past, would be infamous in an instant, and it would turn to ashes in a blink of an eye.

"I'm the same, I've been worried all the way, I'm afraid that the second uncle won't save you back, and I'm afraid that you will encounter any difficulties on the road, I will no longer be willful in the future, I will be obediently by your and A-Niang's side in the future" After speaking, Er Zhuyan hugged Pu Juan tightly again.

Seeing this, He Bayue had no choice but to take Yuwentai and the others to retreat one by one, and since Yeyana asked the Buddha to worship the Buddha, he rarely appeared when there were many people. After saying a simple word, Ah Cai accompanied her into the Buddhist hall again.

Er Zhuyan looked at Yeye's increasingly thin back, and there was always a feeling of being speechless in her heart. In the past, the mother who was decisive in killing and no less than a man in the court turned out to be a passer-by who didn't know anything in an instant. "Is A-Niang still like that?"

I don't know why, Er Zhuyan suddenly felt that Yeyana had changed, and it had changed in more than one place, but where it had changed, Er Zhuyan couldn't say for a while. Maybe it was Er Zhurong's death that hit her hard, or maybe after the change in Heyin, Yeyana was slowly changing to another person.

"Madame, as it always has been. In addition to chanting sutras and worshipping the Buddha, it is also chanting and worshipping the Buddha. Miss, is there anything wrong? Pu Juan looked at Er Zhuyan with some puzzlement. In fact, Er Zhuyan knew in her heart that in this family, everyone was changing, and Yeyana was kind, but at the same time, she also became a living person. Pu Juan has become less talkative, but there is no longer the same activity as before. Everyone has something on their minds, but right now, nothing can be done.

In the evening, after Pu Juan served Er Zhuyan to freshen up, Yeyana came over and brought a few clothes to Er Zhuyan, and after a few brief greetings, she left.

"Are these all made by A-Niang?" Er Zhuyan flipped through the clothes sent by Yeye, the Xiangfei-colored skirt, which was made extremely exquisite. But I don't know when Er Zhuyan didn't like this color anymore. But it was Yeyana who sewed for her with her own hands, and under Pu Juan's service, Er Zhuyan changed into long-lost women's clothes. During dinner, He Bayue came, and Er Zhuyan felt that it was really meaningless to eat in the small room, so she sent the kitchen directly to the living room. During the banquet, she, He Bayue, and Yu Wentai only cared about eating, and no one thought of a way to solve the embarrassment.

"Sister, don't be like this, you are like this, I really can't stand it" Yuwentai also wanted to give Er Zhuyan a few pieces of crispy meat that she loved to eat, and as soon as she touched Er Zhuyan a little, Er Zhuyan couldn't help crying, or she was completely indifferent, and her whole face was almost invisible. Yuwentai couldn't stand Er Zhuyan like this, he walked to Er Zhuyan and shook Er Zhuyan's shoulders vigorously, hoping that she could quickly come out of her grief.

Seeing this, Pu Juan stopped Yuwentai's hand with distress, and looked at Er Zhuyan's soulless appearance, Pu Juan's heart was not very comfortable, she grabbed Yuwentai's hand as if pleading, hoping that Yuwentai would not force Er Zhuyan to do what she didn't want to do. "Yuwen Gongzi, let's let Miss be alone and quiet"

"Sister, you answer me, don't say anything like this, it's okay for you to beat me, or you scold me, as long as you can get this breath out of your heart, it's okay anyway" Saying that, Yuwentai grabbed Er Zhuyan's hand tightly, and Er Zhuyan could vaguely feel the pain in her wrist.

Er Zhuyan slowly turned her head to look at Yuwentai, reached out and patted Yuwentai's hand on her arm, and said slowly: "Atai, I'm fine, I'm really fine", and then looked at He Bayue, "Brother Heba, do you have news of Ah Zhao"

As early as a few days ago, He Bayue received news from the small soldiers that after Erzhu Shilong escaped from Luoyang, he traveled all over the country, and in an instant, he gathered a lot of Erzhu's old troops to plan to besiege Luoyang, but unfortunately after the defeat of Heqiao, he went all the way north to find Erzhu Zhongyuan. As for Er Zhuzhao, starting from the Jinyang fiefdom, there must be a big move in the near future. Er Zhurong died in the palace, according to the relationship between Er Zhuzhao and Er Zhurong who are not father and son but win father and son, whether it is personal enmity or family hatred, the Luoyang Rebellion may be inevitable.

"Miss, I" As soon as He Batyue thought of this, he didn't know how to tell Er Zhuyan that according to Er Zhuyan's straightforward temperament, he would definitely go straight to Luoyang at that time, even if he didn't kill Emperor Xiaozhuang with his own hands, he would do something that she couldn't predict herself.

What's more, in Luoyang City now, the forces of all parties are complicated, just talk about Er Zhuzhao, who became famous as a young man, not to mention that he is brave and good at fighting, and he has 200,000 horses alone. Erzhu Shilong, Erzhu Zhongyuan, and Erzhu Dulu each have at least 50,000 more. The rest of the Erzhu branch will not say much first, with these four teams alone, it will definitely be able to renovate the entire Luoyang Dynasty again.

Er Zhuyan couldn't think of these, but He Bayue had to think about it carefully. Originally, these horses were in the life of Er Zhurong, although they had discord, but at least they were supported by such a leading figure, and the forces of all parties could still be checked and balanced, but now, once Er Zhurong is not there. If these forces can be twisted together, it is fine, if they are separated, then as long as there is a talent of the world, these forces can be brought back into one.

"Brother Heba" Er Zhuyan looked at Hebayue as if pleading

"Miss, it's not that I won't tell you, but the current Luoyang is definitely not what you think" Originally, He Batyue still wanted to stop Er Zhuyan, but seeing that Er Zhuyan had made up his mind, He Batyue had to tell Er Zhuyan about the recent events in Luoyang City.

"You mean, the second uncle and Ah Zhao may fight each other in order to divide the territory" After listening to He Bayue's bold speculation, Er Zhuyan felt that the whole person couldn't help but panic. The reason why the Erzhu family was able to become strong in an instant and pacify the rebels such as Ge Rong, Yuan Hao, and Xing Hao in a short period of time was undoubtedly because the Erzhu family was united. If Erzhu Zhao breaks with Erzhu Shilong and other uncles, then he will follow the path of the Yuan brothers of the Three Kingdoms, once there is a person like Cao Cao, not to mention that the entire Erzhu family is not guaranteed, the foundation that has been fought for so many years will be burned.

Thinking of this, Er Zhuyan felt that He Batyue was alarmist, how could the brothers and sisters of the Erzhu family break up, and how could they come to this realm. "You are talking nonsense, it won't be like this, uncle and Ah Zhao, they won't. Ah Zhao is his father's most proud love general, and in the future, his father also intends to train him as a successor, I don't believe it, I don't believe in this, all the uncles will not know"

After listening to He Batyue's analysis, Er Zhuyan said that she couldn't accept anything. Overnight, the father who loved him the most died, and the brother who was fighting with him was gone. The uncles who loved him so much in the past are now inseparable in order to expand their territory. Thinking of this, Er Zhuyan often thinks of what Er Zhurong said: "The Erzhu family can't fight among themselves, they must support each other." ”

"Eldest Miss" He Bayue saw Er Zhu Yan like this, and knew that the reality was very cruel, but this reality had to be told to her.

Er Zhuyan was stunned and looked closely at the outside of the city wall. The scenery of Longxi is really beautiful. The Qinling Mountains are as green as spring, and the city wall in Chang'an Street is bright for ten miles. The weeping willows on the Baqiao are probably going to be bald again this year. "Brother Heba, I want to go to Luoyang" After speaking, Er Zhuyan slowly turned her body and looked at Hebayue quietly with her eyes, not to seek his consent, but to ask him for help.

Seeing this, He Bayue could see from Er Zhuyan's eyes what she wanted to do. He knew that he couldn't keep Er Zhuyan, and he knew that he couldn't force her to stay. "Don't say it, I know what you're going to say" As he spoke, He Batyue flicked his sleeves fiercely, then looked at the weeping willows on the edge of the Bahe River and said, "I brought you here to relax, and I will never watch you in prison."

"But this is my life, Brother Heba, you just let me go" Er Zhuyan knew that what she could do now was to find a way to prevent Er Zhu Zhao from turning against Er Zhu Shilong and others. The Erzhu family cannot be defeated, especially by the internal injuries of their own people.

Seeing that He Batyue ignored her, Er Zhuyan walked slowly to He Batyue's side, gently raised He Batyue's hand, and looked at her with pleading. He Bayue knew that this was the last time he would help Er Zhuyan like this, and he was not even qualified for the last time.

In Luoyang City, in addition to Er Zhuyan's most important brother, uncle, and Gao Huan. On that day, He Bayue clearly remembered the scene of Er Zhuyan and Gao Huan talking under the sun, Er Zhuyan smiled, not for anything else, but from the bottom of her heart. Until now, perhaps Er Zhuyan herself didn't realize that she was deeply attracted to Gao Huan. On her waist, no matter when and where, she will be pinned with the dagger that Gao Huan gave her, and it is also a fan, Gao Huan's fan is too precious, she is unwilling to accept it, and his. Er Zhuyan accepted it, but gave him another item of equivalent value in exchange.

Perhaps, Er Zhuyan will never know how laborious it is for him to make that fan. It took dozens of sleepless nights to burn the stove so much, and how many materials were consumed to make such a handful. But fortunately, Er Zhuyan accepted it and liked it very much. "Why did I say so much, you still insist on going, you stay in Longxi, I will take care of you" He Bayue put his hands tightly on Er Zhuyan's shoulders, this time he was extremely serious, and it took a long time to think of it.

"Brother Hebal, I'm sorry. Her father's revenge has not been avenged, Er Zhuyan has never been Zhuge Muqing, she is Er Zhu's daughter, and she has her own responsibilities and missions to do. Erzhu is loyal to the soul, either he dies on the battlefield, or his soul returns to the court. I can't hide from these" After speaking, Er Zhuyan slowly slid down He Bayue's hand on Er Zhuyan's body.

"Now that you've made your decision, I'm here to support you. But don't worry, Madame is here, and I will treat her as a distinguished guest. As he spoke, He Batyue let out a long sigh. The eyes are a little red, and a little unwilling.

"Thank you, Brother Heba," Er Zhuyan saluted him. He Batyue also replied to her with the same courtesy, and the cold wind of the Bahe River in November was bare and the wicker was bare. He Bayue was a little hurt alone, and he knew that he couldn't force it, so he laughed heartily. He looked at the weeping willow beside him, and then struggled to fold it, pulling some weeping willows into a ball, and he slowly handed it to Er Zhuyan.

"Do you know what the name of the river is?" He asked her

Although Er Zhuyan said that she had traveled a little bit earlier, it was the first time for Chang'an to come. So she didn't know where this place was, and she didn't know that this river was the famous Bahe River in history. She looked left and right, and on the banks of the river, there were many young people breaking willows to say goodbye. In various travelogues, Er Zhuyan seems to have seen this scene. "Sanfu Huangtu Bridge" records: "Baqiao is in the east of Chang'an, crosses the water as a bridge, the Han people send guests to this bridge, fold the willows to say goodbye" Thinking of this, Er Zhuyan roughly guessed where this place was.

"I have heard: "On both sides of the Baqiao, build the embankment for five miles, plant ten thousand willows, and the visitors shoulder the hub, which is the magnificence of Chang'an." Seeing that this river stretches for thousands of miles, it is not the "willow wind and snow" that Xie Daoyun, a talented woman in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, said, "What is the heavy snow like", "If the catkins rise because of the wind", Er Zhuyan couldn't help but sigh: "I really want to have the opportunity to see the catkins flying up here, and take a look at the willow style written by this amazing talented woman"

He Bayue couldn't help but say with emotion: "There will be a chance, in the future, there will be a handsome son like Wang Ningyi, who will accompany the eldest lady to watch the willows."

Er Zhuyan looked at the weeping willows on the river with a sad face, listening to the sound of the river trickling, and for a moment she felt that she had integrated into nature, but she felt that she was always outside nature. As she spoke, she looked at He Batyue slowly, and then said slowly to He Batyue: "Then I also wish Brother He Bat, who can find someone to speak with as soon as possible."

He Batyue knew that Er Zhuyan had no other intentions for him, so he had to hide this deep love in his heart forever. The next day, Er Zhuyan rode away with a whip, and He Bayue, Yu Wentai, Pu Juan and others said goodbye to her on the upper floor of Shangqin. She was dressed in a robe and a man's dress, and rode away.

Pu Juan sat alone on the city tower, singing the song "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Caiwei":

"Picking the weed, picking the weed, and the weed also stops. It is said that it will return, and the years will not end. The family is beautiful, and the reason for the rampant. Not to mention the start of the house, because of the rampant. Picking the weed, picking the weed, the weeds are also soft. When he returns, his heart is also worried. Worried, hungry and thirsty. I am undecided, and I will be hired. Picking the weed, picking the weed, the wee also just stopped. It is said that the return is said to be returned, and the years are also yang. The king's affairs are in a hurry, and he will not be left behind. I'm worried and guilty, I can't do it. Bilviho, the flower of peace. Belusho, the gentleman's chariot. Rong car driving, four peony industry. How dare you settle down, three victories in January. Drive the other four peons, and the four peons are sloppy. The gentleman is relied on, and the villain is retained. Four peony wings, like a fish suit. Wouldn't it be a day to abstain, and the lynx will be thorny? In the past, I went back, and the willows followed. Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling. The way is slow, thirsty and hungry. My heart is sad, and I don't know how to mourn. ”

The snow was falling heavily, and He Batyue slowly recalled the conversation he had with Er Zhuyan on the Bahe River that day: "Brother Heba, do you know the ambition of the wild goose? Its voice is loyal to only one partner, and if one dies, the other will never survive, I didn't understand it before, but now, I understand. Take care of my aunt, if I can survive this trip, tell her that Daddy's bones will be able to help her find it, if not, please help me tell her that the wild goose has traveled with the old wild goose."

"Picking the weed, picking the weed, and the weed also stops. It is said that it will return, and the years will not end. The family is beautiful, and the reason for the rampant. Not to mention the start of the house, because of the rampant. Picking the weed, picking the weed, the weeds are also soft. When he returns, his heart is also worried. Worried, hungry and thirsty.

"In the past, I went back, and the willows were still there. Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling. The way is slow, thirsty and hungry. My heart is sad, and I don't know how to mourn. ”

Pu Juan's singing voice slowly swirled and sang throughout Chang'an City, and unconsciously, hazy snowflakes fell in the sky, and Er Zhuyan rode her horse and whipped, galloping quickly between the Qinling Mountains...
