The wind and snow were still raging, and when I looked up, it was white. Not far from the north gate of the imperial city, a carriage was quietly parked there, and a man wearing a cloak and a hat stood next to him, and he couldn't see his face clearly. He was followed by two horses.

After a while, two figures quickly came to the side of the carriage, and it turned out to be the person who robbed Uncle Yang's bones at the execution ground. The two quickly put the bones into the carriage.

"Let's go!" One said in a low voice.

The man with the hat got into the carriage, waved the reins, turned the wagon, and galloped towards the north. The two men mounted their horses and followed behind the carriage.

Suddenly, a shout came from behind him: "The carriage in front is stopped!" ”

The man driving the car glanced at the man on his left. "You drive to the manor first, and Lu Ming and I will settle the people behind!"

It turned out that these three people were Su Ang, Lu Ming, and Qiu Xi.

Qiu Xiao nodded after hearing this, raised his horsewhip and swung it down, the horse was in pain, neighed, and ran forward.

Suang and Lu Mingle turned their horses' heads and waited for someone to chase them.

It was too late, and the three fast horses had come to Su Ang and Lu Ming in a blink of an eye.

One shouted, "Who are you, and why did you rob the bones of adults?" ”

Su Ang looked up and down at the three people who were chasing, and saw that the three of them were all dressed in white, judging from their superb horseback riding skills, they were definitely not ordinary people. Lu Ming had already quietly lifted the spear hanging on horseback, and when Su Ang gave an order, he was about to step forward to fight.

"Who are the three of you? Why are you here? Suangle immediately stepped forward and asked. He knew that the three of them should be friends and not enemies, because they came calling out the bones of adults, not by their names, so Su Ang did not show hostility.

The bearded man stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "I am Pu Xianyu, I don't know who I am, why I robbed the bones of adults, and I hope to tell you." ”

Su Ang felt very familiar when he heard this name, and suddenly remembered that his senior brother had said to him earlier that wasn't this the name of the captain of the palace? I heard my brother say that this person is chivalrous and courageous, and he is very upright.

Su Ang returned the salute with his fists and said, "In Xia Su Ang, I have seen General Pu Xianyu." I am an old friend of your family, and this time your family is in trouble, and I don't want him to end up in a wilderness, so I robbed his bones and brought them back to be buried. I don't know what General Pu is chasing? ”

"You're Su Ang?" Without waiting for Pu Xianyu to answer, a person behind him exclaimed, "My lord, let me hand you something." The man said yes, took out two bamboo slips from his arms, and stepped forward to Su Ang.

Su Ang took the bamboo slip, stuffed it directly into his arms without opening it, and asked, "I don't know if Your Excellency is ......?"

The man smiled "hehe", hugged his fists and replied: "I am Gong Qi, I had the honor to talk to him when my lord was in prison, and I admired my lord in my heart, so I waited outside the execution ground, and I only waited for the opportunity to go in to save my lord." Unexpectedly, I just happened to run into General Pu and General Deng. The person in the back is General Deng, named Deng Xian, who was originally the commander of the guards in the Lord's Mansion. ”

Su Ang clasped his fists one by one and saluted, saying, "I never thought that there were a few strong men such as you and others around him, and there were a few upright people such as you above the court, Su Ang didn't admire it very much." Thank you for taking care of him. Now that the Si people have passed away, it is heartbreaking. I wonder where the heroes are going next? ”

"Now that I am no longer an official in the court, I plan to return to my hometown to farm. Since the foot is an adult's old friend, I hope that the foot is a good life to bury the adult. There is another matter, I want to ask for help, the adult's wife is still in the house, I wonder if you can take her with you? Pu Xianyu said.

"I don't know that his wife and two maids have been taken to a manor to settle down, and when I get back and settle them, I will start my own way."

"That's very good. Then I'll wait for the three of us to leave. After Pu Xianyu finished speaking, he was about to rein in his horse and leave.

Su Ang hurriedly said, "Three of you, wait a minute, since the three of you have nowhere to go now, you might as well come with me." When the eldest husband is alive, when there is something to do, I want to enter the palace as an official and complete the affairs he left behind, and then I will have to ask for a few helps, and I hope that the three of them will not shirk. ”

Su Ang said very sincerely, he really liked the three people in front of him, he was affectionate and righteous, he knew that there was endless danger but also came to rob Uncle Yang, there are not many such people.

Pu Xianyu's face was embarrassed: "I have resigned, and now I go back, I am only afraid of ...... But the two of them might be able to help you achieve great things. ”

Seeing that they did not directly refuse, Su Ang was overjoyed and said, "I don't need you to wait in the court to help me, I have my own way." I just want you and the other three to become my staff and help me with some other things. Of course, if you have a family member, you might as well pick it up together, and you can also avoid the worries of waiting. ”

"So good, I will go with you." Pu Xianyu replied with a fist. Gong Qi and Deng Xian pondered for a while, and also agreed.

"Okay, okay, I have a few more helps, with your help, why worry about big things!"

Several people rode horses and drove away, and within five miles they caught up with Qiu Xi. The wheels of the carriage sank into a hole, and Ren Qiuxi waved the whip, but the carriage remained motionless, and the horse was so tired that he sneezed.

The six of them worked together to finally push the carriage out of the pit. The crowd galloped toward the north again.

The snow was falling so hard that it was up to the horse's knees, and the road became more and more difficult. Su Ang stopped and said, "It's not far from the manor, I'll wait and walk, let the horses change to pull the cart, and save some leg strength." ”

"Okay." Everyone dismounted, one foot deep and one foot shallow, stepping on the snow and struggling to move forward.

It was starting to get dark. A strange manor finally appeared in front of me. Lu Ming exhaled: "Straight lady thief, it's finally coming, I'm tired to death." I have never seen this heavy snow in Qiling. ”

The carriage stopped at the gate of the manor. I saw Zihua standing at the door, his face haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Pu Xianyu and the three of them stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "Meet the princess!" ”

Su Ang walked up, took off the cloak on his body, and gently draped it on Zihua: "Sister-in-law, take care of your body, the child in your womb is important." Brother, I brought it back. ”

Zihua staggered to the carriage under his feet, and Su Ang hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Zihua gently lifted the car curtain, tears rolled down silently, and reached out to gently brush Uncle Yang's face.

"Sister-in-law, let the old man come out."

Zihua was unheard. Su Ang turned his head and glanced at Qiu Xi, who walked into the manor, and after a while, he walked out with an old man in his sixties.

"Uncle, I'm sorry for you."

The old man was a little sad and said, "It should be, Lord Taiwei has done so much for me and other ordinary people, this is as it should be." The old man wiped tears from his eyes as he spoke, and got into the carriage.

The rest of the crowd stood silently by the carriage, and no one spoke. The wind and snow are filled, this is the heavens crying, for this person who has paid infinite effort.

After a while, the old man came out of the carriage, his hands trembling, and tears streaming down his snow-white beard. Suddenly, the old man burst into tears, choked up, and said, "My lord, how can this be...... The misfortune of the country, the misfortune of the people! ”

Su Ang secretly wiped a handful of tears and walked over: "Uncle, are you okay?" ”

"It's sewn, it's just...... Never wake up again! ”

Su Ang nodded, lifted the curtain, and Lu Ming stepped forward and gently hugged Uncle Yang's bones out. Zihua watched, tears as red as blood flowed silently, and suddenly, his feet staggered, his eyes rolled slightly, and his whole body collapsed. Su Ang hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Zihua and handed her to the two maids: "You guys quickly help her in and let her rest well." ”

Zihua was helped in.

"Lu Ming, there are still some wood in the manor, let's build a coffin for a few of us. Qiu Xi, you and Pu Xianyu go to see if there is a good cemetery within five miles of the manor, and prepare for burial in a sunny day. ”

"Yes." Several people left. Su Ang put Uncle Yang on the steps in front of the door, sat down himself, and said softly: "Senior brother, four years are about to pass, presumably the teacher misses us, but unfortunately you can't go back, I want to go to the mountain to see the teacher in a few days, I don't know what you want me to bring to him?" Senior brother, in the past few years, the fish under the waterfall must have grown quite fat. ”

Su Ang pursed his lips lightly, speaking of these, he can always think of the days on the mountain, when Su Ang first went up the mountain, because he hated the government, so he thought day and night about learning to go down the mountain as soon as possible, and studied the homework taught by the teacher every day. Uncle Yang is completely different, giggling every day, making Su Ang laugh, and letting Su Ang go down to the waterfall to touch the fish.

Su Ang sighed, "I really miss those days." Senior brother, do you regret today's fruit? It seems to others that if you knew that you would end up like this, you would have regretted it, but I don't think you will regret it, this is you. You love Qin Feng's poetry and are determined to be a strong minister like a merchant king. How many people in this world can understand you? Emperor Xuanzong is probably one, and the teacher should be counted as one. ”

Su Ang raised his hand and tightened the clothes on Uncle Yang's body, "Look, the sky is crying about you." You say, why don't you listen to me, you say, is it true that your ambition is more important than your own life? ”

Su Ang suddenly hid his face and cried, his whole body trembling, and his voice was desolate.

I don't know how long it took for Su Ang to slowly raise his head, his eyes were blood-red, and he pointed at Uncle Yang and said, "Senior brother, it's been more than ten years, I haven't cried, you, you." Su Ang took out the two scrolls from his bosom and opened them, one with the art of war, and the other with words to Su Ang:

Senior brother, senior brother knows that time is running out, and there is only one thing in his heart that he can't rest assured, the nobles of the old clan will inevitably do something to my house, I hope you can take care of it a little, senior brother is grateful.

Senior brother in this life, everything has been completed, no need to be sad, the teacher is right, I two into the office, will not be able to be in the same dynasty, now everything I can do has been done, the rest of the affairs will be handed over to you, there are not a few people with lofty ideals in the court, you may be able to gather one or two, as a help.

We must entrust the emperor to eradicate the clan as soon as possible, otherwise the harm will be endless, but I am afraid that he will become even more serious, and the country will be in danger at that time. Don't forget.

Su Ang threw the bamboo slip into the snow fiercely, "Why don't you do what you said!" It is to be troublesome to others, as it was before, and it is now! ”

Su Ang bowed down and picked up the bamboo slip, brushed off the snow on it with his sleeve, and put it back into his arms, "Okay, I can't listen to you." ”
