Chapter 381: Life Is Only Love and Hard to Die (I)
Yi Wei was sent out by the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion, although he didn't see Xiao Mingyue, and was counted down by Mrs. Xiao for a while, but his heart was very clear, that is, Xiao Mingyue should not be sick at all, otherwise, it would be impossible for General Xiao and Mrs. Xiao to look like nothing and rush to drive themselves out.
And they said that they didn't let themselves see Xiao Mingyue at all, it was very likely that Xiao Mingyue was not in Xiao Mansion, otherwise, no matter what Xiao Mingyue said, she would see herself!
However, Yi Wei just didn't know where Xiao Mingyue had gone and what had happened!
Then I went to the inn and post house where the Goguryeo people had been staying, but I didn't get any clues, only a group of Goguryeo merchants and a team of Goguryeo Kabuki troupes.
Yi Wei then went back to his life with a good heart.
And Chen Xian's secret agent naturally didn't inquire about Xiao Mingyue's condition, and naturally didn't know Xiao Mingyue's traces.
This made the two people who had always trusted Xiao Mingyue suspicious.
Yuwendi heard the news that Yi Wei had brought back.
I was panicked and confused, and I had a very bad premonition.
Then he asked, "Yiwei, did you really not see the county lord twice?" "
I thought I nodded, and replied definitely: "The first time was because it was dark, I sneaked into the Xiao Mansion at night, but when I looked down on the roof of the county lord, it was dark in the house at that time, and I thought the county lord was sleeping!" Now that I think about it, the county lord may have been out of the house at that time. Because Mrs. Xiao and General Xiao said that the county lord's rash was extremely itchy, but that night, the county lord's mansion was exceptionally quiet!"
"Could it be that you are mistaken? Didn't you go to the county lord's yard?!" Yu Wendi asked again.
Yiwei shook his head and said: "Probably not, there is an obvious fragrance of camellia in the courtyard of the county lord, didn't the son say that only the county lord's yard has many camellia trees?!"
Yu Wendi listened, nodded, and said, "Yes!" Mingyue said that she likes the fragrance of camellia very much, so she specially planted a lot of camellia in the yard!"
"Childe, what should we do now? Are you going to find the county lord?!" B didn't ask.
"If the county lord is really not in Xiao Mansion, then where should we go to find it?! Could it be that the county lord will return to Jiankang?!" Ding Fu asked.
Yu Wendi shook his head, propped his hands on the table, at this time, his head was a mess, and all he could think about was Xiao Mingyue, and he said to the two of them for a long time: "No."
Ding Fu and Yi didn't look at each other, and the two didn't know how Yu Wendi was going to act.
Then Ding Fu asked, "No??"
Yu Wendi nodded and said, "Even if the county lord is really not in Xiao Mansion and not in Huaizhou City, he will not quietly go back to Jiankang!" If she wants to go back to Jiankang, she can go back in a bright way, and she doesn't have to hide it so much! Moreover, she shouldn't go back to Jiankang at this time, if she really wants to leave, it is likely to ......"
"Childe, where is the county lord likely gone?!" Yiwei on the side asked again.
"It's all possible." Yu Wendi frowned and said softly.
"That'...... So where do we start!?" Ding Fu asked.
"I don't know." Yu Wendi put one hand on his waist, one hand clenched into a fist and pounded on his forehead, and a pair of light blue eyes were full of confusion and helplessness.
At this moment, he was afraid that Xiao Mingyue would really fly away and not come back, and he was afraid that something bad would happen to Xiao Mingyue.
Yi Wei and Ding Fu saw it, they had never seen him like this, so they quietly retreated.
After the two went out, Ding Fu sighed lightly and said to Yiwei: "See, Gongzi is called an affectionate and infatuated man, and he looks like he is hurt by love!"
Yi Wei said angrily to Ding Fu: "Don't talk cool here, if the county lord can't find it, you and I won't have a good life!"
Ding Fu hurriedly nodded and said, "You're right!" You and I will wait to find the county lord for the son!"
The two of them stood guard at the door for a while, and then, with a "creak", the door of the study opened, Yu Wendi's eyes were like torches, and he whispered to the two: "Immediately gather all the elite soldiers of the Taishi Mansion and go to the county lord!" Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to dig it out for me!"
"Yes!" The two said in unison.
Later, Yu Wendi sent almost all the troops of the Taishi Mansion, and notified the state capitals everywhere, asking them to pay close attention to the people who came and went, and asked them to look for people according to Xiao Mingyue's appearance.
However, the world is so big, even if you search for it one by one, it will take a month.
So, Yuwendi ordered someone to find someone to abandon the Northern Wei Dynasty and start from the Southern Chen Realm first.
Yi Wei asked on the side: "Childe, that son of Goguryeo is also gone, is it possible to ......?"
"No, it won't!" Yu Wendi didn't think about it, and replied directly.
Then Yuwendi said to Yiwei: "The county lord will not go back to Goguryeo with Li Xuan, and that Li Xuan will not go back to Goguryeo, unless he wants to go back to Gongdou to be the king." Otherwise, he has no one to support him anymore, and he will go back to find death!"
"What Childe said makes sense, but will the county lord go to Rouran and Dang Xiangguo or something?!" B didn't ask.
Yu Wendi looked up at the sky, as if hoping that the blue sky could inspire him.
"Let's take our time! Looking for it little by little, even if it has been two months since the county lord left the Xiao Mansion, after all, it is the girl's house, and he must not go too far. By the way, have you seen Miss Caiwei?!" Yu Wendi said with Yi Wei.
Yiwei shook his head and said, "I didn't see it."
"That's right, it should be Cai Wei who is with the county lord, presumably the two girls' families should not have left Chen Guo yet. However, I will write to the party and Rouran, and ask Li Yuanxu and Gu Zhuo to pay close attention to the candidates of the two countries, and those who look like Xiao Mingyue and Cai Wei must stay for interrogation, and after making sure that they are not the two, they will be released!" Yuwendi said.
"It's still Childe's thoughtfulness!" Yi Wei Dao.
Although Yu Wendi subconsciously spared no effort to find Xiao Mingyue, after thinking about it, he asked himself, if Xiao Mingyue deliberately left, did he really have to find Xiao Mingyue again?
Answer, yes!
On the other hand, Chen Xian also suspected that Xiao Mingyue had left Huaizhou City, but he felt that Xiao Mingyue had gone to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
So he sent two teams of men and horses to the Northern Wei Dynasty one after another.
wrote to Yu Wendi again, the approximate meaning was to ask Yu Wendi to return Xiao Mingyue to himself.
However, when Yu Wendi saw the letter sent by Chen Xian, he felt very ridiculous.
Holding the letter in his hand, he muttered: "Chen Xian, Chen Xian, I didn't expect that at this time, you still naively and mistakenly regarded me as your biggest rival, should I thank you for looking up to me?" Or should I make fun of you for not knowing Mingyue?!"
Later, he wrote back to Chen Xian, saying that he did not take Xiao Mingyue with him, and Xiao Mingyue did not come to the Northern Wei Dynasty to find him.
Tell Chen Xian "The people you love, don't ask others for people!"
Ding Fu persuaded Yu Wendi on the side: "Childe, at this time, let's not fight with Chen Xian, Childe should join forces with Emperor Chen!" In this way, you can find the county lord as soon as possible!"
After hearing this, Yu Wendi sneered and said to Ding Fu: "Between rivals in love, how can they join forces repeatedly? Besides, the county lord has disappeared from his territory, how can I help him? If you remind him and let him find the county lord first, wouldn't it be cheaper for him?!"
Ding Fu nodded and said, "Yes, Childe, my subordinates will also keep an eye on it, and once there is news from the county lord, I will report it to Childe immediately!"
Yu Wendi looked at Ding Fu's departing figure and was upset.
He really didn't know if he was right or wrong to do this.
If emotionally speaking, he loves Xiao Mingyue to the bone,
He can't lose Xiao Mingyue, even if he is destined to watch over the same woman with other men in his life, he doesn't care, he doesn't want to be entangled with her, he is always together, he just wants to see her when he wants to see her.
However, he knew Xiao Mingyue's heart, and he clearly knew Xiao Mingyue's inner thoughts.
If she really wants to leave wholeheartedly, wants to leave the world without saying goodbye, and goes to the Holy Quartet, doing so by herself is actually harming her.
Even if she gets her back, she won't be happy, and maybe she'll resent herself!
However, even if Yu Wendi thought about it again, he still couldn't help but want to get Xiao Mingyue back.
Even if she wants to leave, even if she really wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of this world, she has to see her again!
That's right, the reason Yu Wendi gave himself was that he must see Xiao Mingyue again!
But there are some things, if you don't drag the mud and water, it seems that there will be a better ending!
Sometimes, there is no result, and perhaps the best outcome is the best.
A small regret, if it is acceptable and can be ignored, it may not be a good thing!
And if you are not satisfied, I am afraid that it will cause greater regret!
Yu Wendi didn't know that if he hadn't been in a hurry to find Xiao Mingyue back at that time, if he could endure it again and again, perhaps, he wouldn't have so much regret in the future.
Regret and remorse, and longing......
Chen Xian read Yu Wendi's reply and was very annoyed, feeling that even if Yu Wendi didn't take Xiao Mingyue away, there was no need for a sentence full of sarcasm.
So he was so angry that he threw the letter aside, and asked Chenyu and Lu Yan to go to Huaizhou City immediately and go to Xiao Mansion to find out.
Originally, Chen Xian planned to advance the day of the patrol, and went directly to Huaizhou City to find Xiao Mingyue, if Xiao Mingyue was not there, he would go to the place where Xiao Mingyue was to find her.
All in all, it's all about getting her back!
I can't wait to see my beloved all the time, it can really be said that 'I am afraid of falling off in my hand, and I am afraid of melting in my mouth!'
Now that something happened to Xiao Mingyue, he was extremely irritable.
I can't even read it!
I can't wait to immediately put on a pair of wings, fly to Xiao Mingyue, and ask the ins and outs of the matter!
Chun'an hurriedly stopped and comforted on the side: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, you must not!" The slave knows that the safety and whereabouts of the county lord are important, but Your Majesty is a person admired by all the people, and you can't rashly leave the court and the people alone!"
When Chen Xian heard this, he forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart and had to continue to stay in the palace.
However, his heart had already flown to her side with Xiao Mingyue.
Lu Yan and Chenyu received the holy will, and immediately rushed to Huaizhou City with two horses.
On top, Lu Yan asked Chenyu: "If the county lord is really not in the General's Mansion, what should you and I do?" Will it offend both ends?!"
Chenyu sighed softly and said to Lu Yan: "Master Horse! You're right! Your Majesty asked us to pick up the county lord on the grounds of determining whether the county lord is in the General's Mansion, think about it, since Your Majesty has told you and me like this, it proves that our county lord is not in the General's Mansion nine times out of ten! But if the county lord really left on purpose, and General Xiao and Mrs. Xiao deliberately helped to conceal it, if that's the case, what do you think we should do?!"
Lu Yan thought for a while and said, "This matter is really tricky!" We're not going to help anyone! On His Majesty's side, that is to harm the county lord; If we are on the side of the county lord, we will be against the holy will! So what do we do? "
Chenyu shook his head and said, "I just hope that God will bless the two of us!" Don't let this hot potato burn us both!"
Lu Yan and Chenyu both slowed down their horses at this time.
"Then we might as well go slower! How about putting the news to Huaizhou City earlier? Lu Yan suggested to Chenyu.
Chenyu patted Lu Yan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being a concubine, and he really has some strategies in his heart." That's all we can do, and leave the rest to fate!"
Lu Yan also looked at Huaizhou City in the distance, sighed lightly and said, "I hope the county lord can come back as soon as possible!" If you don't come back, you can go farther!"
Both of them received Xiao Mingyue's favor and help, if it weren't for Xiao Mingyue, it would be impossible for the two to marry Xiao Wan and Liansheng smoothly.
The two of them have today's future, and they are inseparable from Xiao Mingyue.
Chenyu and Lu Yan are also the people who know how to be grateful the most, even if Xiao Wan and Liansheng don't often talk about Xiao Mingyue's goodness by their side, the two of them are full of admiration for Xiao Mingyue in their hearts, and they just want to have the opportunity to repay one or two.
The two of them reached an agreement, and walked towards Huaizhou City unhurriedly.
Chenyu asked the messenger to bring the letter to Xiao Qixian and Pei Shi first, and he and Lu Yan arrived late later, just for Xiao Mingyue's sake!
Therefore, the two passed by the post station, drank tea for a while, dozed off for a while, and went to the post station to pick up horses.
Originally, it was a half-day journey, but the two walked for two days to arrive.
And Xiao Qixian and his wife saw the letter sent by the messenger sent by the two, and the words were very clear.
Knowing that things can't be held back, it doesn't matter if you just let you know.
First, Xiao was a veteran of the Three Dynasties at first, and he once made great contributions to pacifying the country and garrisoning the border passes. Even if there is no Xiao Mingyue, no one will do anything to them and his wife!
Second, this lie to hide Xiao Mingyue's whereabouts is not a problem after all.
If Xiao Mingyue does not return for a long time, it is not a long-term solution to take the cause of Xiao Mingyue's rash.
After thinking about it again, the Xiao couple decided not to hide it anymore, whether it was the secret spy eyeliner of various countries outside, or the upcoming Chenyu and Lu Yan.
and deceive them no more!
Therefore, the subordinates of the family do not have to pretend anymore!
In the living room of the Shaw Mansion.
Pei Shi said to Xiao at first: "Master, it seems that there is no other way now!" Only the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it!"
Xiao Qi first looked at Pei Shi and said, "Madam, don't worry, even if the saint wants to blame, there is a husband to protect you!" I won't let Madame hurt me in the slightest!"
Pei Shi said with a smile: "Master, since the day I married you, I have never been afraid, you are a great general, and you have to fight bloody battles on the battlefield almost every day!" At first, I was indeed a little worried about you, I was worried that if you had three long and two short, I was reluctant to let you go, but now, God favors us and lets me be a husband and wife with you for more than 40 years! I give thanks to the Bodhisattva every day, and I am very content. And we have four more kids! It can be regarded as a full house of children and grandchildren, enjoying the joy of family! So no matter what happens in the future, I'm not afraid, I will live and die with the master, and I will never give up!"
Xiao first listened, nodded, and then tenderly pulled Pei's hands up and said, "My good lady! The two things I have done with least regret in my life are that I do not regret joining the army and defending my family and country on the battlefield. The second thing is that I don't regret marrying such a virtuous wife as you, before you married me, I was also a knowledgeable and good embroidery lady, so many years, I admit my identity and responsibilities as a general, and I have indeed snubbed Mrs. a lot, if Mrs. marries a talented man, I think she will live a happier life?!"
Pei slapped the back of Xiao Qixian's hand with one hand, and said angrily: "It's been an old husband and wife for so many years, don't talk nonsense!" My father was sure to marry you, that is, he married you, and there is no one else, I only advance and retreat with you!"
Then the two asked the subordinates in the family to prepare snacks, melon seeds, refreshments, etc. to welcome Lu Yan and Chenyu.
When Chenyu and Lu Yan arrived at Huaizhou City, they first pretended to be curious, turned around, and became familiar with the topography of Huaizhou City.
Then, he asked someone to inquire and came to the Xiao Mansion.
Then the two also swaggered to the Xiao Mansion, where they were received by the housekeeper, and then the Xiao couple met with them.
The two of them came to the Xiao Mansion for the first time, they were very polite, and they prepared gifts for Xiao Qixian and Pei respectively, firstly, they were regarded as replacing the emperor and visited the two, and secondly, the two juniors came to visit for the first time, even if it was for the task arranged by the emperor, after all, it was not good-looking empty-handed!
Chenyu took two packets of bird's nest of the finest golden silk snow swallow to Pei's and said, "Junior Chenyu, I have seen the old lady!" When I first came to your mansion, I was careful and not respectful, and I hope that the old lady will not dislike it!"
Pei Shi saw that Chenyu was not very old, and he was a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he was also polite and polite to himself, so he said with a smile: "The national teacher has seen the outside, and I often hear Mingyue mention you, you are all the pillars of the country when you are young!" The two of you are already very happy when the two of you come, but you don't have to bring anything!"
Lu Yan also brought Xiao Qixian's Mengding tea, and said with a humble attitude: "I've seen the old general, this is this year's new Mengding, I don't know if the old general likes to drink tea, so I brought it recklessly!"
Xiao Qi first took the mask delivered by Lu Yan, and said with a smile: "You are really a person with a heart, you know that I love tea!" Well...... This year's Mengding is really good!"
Then the husband and wife entertained Lu Yan and Chenyu to take a seat.
Now that I know the intention of the two, I naturally don't want to beat around the bush!
Xiao Mingyue's absence from home is something that can't be hidden sooner or later, and the Xiao couple knows it.
However, naturally, as a father and mother, the status of the daughter in her heart is far more than everything!
What's more, Xiao is now an idler, so he naturally loves his daughter even more!
Xiao first thought in his heart that even if he worked hard, he would make his daughter happy.
Even if the emperor is dissatisfied with Xiao Mingyue's departure, even if he wants to selfishly keep his daughter by his side, it is impossible to do it!
Live for a day by yourself, and never let anyone do anything to force your daughter!
Even if it's a king on high!
Looking at Chenyu and Lu Yan in front of them, the Xiao couple did not have the slightest intention of worrying or fearing, but looked at the two calmly.
On the contrary, it made the two who came to find out the news feel that they should leave immediately!
I feel offended by Mr. and Mrs. Shaw!
At this time, outside Huaizhou City, a carriage was rushing towards the city.
It was none other than Xiao Mingyue and Cai Wei who were sitting in the car, and it was Wang'er who was driving the car.
As for why did Xiao Mingyue come back suddenly?
That's because she knows that she has been out for a long time, and if she calculates the time, she should be suspected. She didn't want to cause an uproar because of her departure, and she didn't want to affect her parents in the slightest, even if she knew that even if she didn't come back, the emperor and Yuwendi would not hurt her parents.
However, she just knew that she still had something to do!
Until her mission is completed, she will not leave everyone without saying goodbye!
When the clever little Ah Cha saw Chenyu visiting, she knew that she had come to ask her about Aunt Yue's whereabouts, and she knew that she couldn't let them know that Aunt Yue was not at home.
ran over to Chenyu's side and jumped into Chenyu's arms.
smiled and said, "Uncle Guoshi, why are you here?" Did my aunt ask you to take Ah Cha back to the palace?!"
Chenyu hugged Ah Cha and smiled, and said softly, "Your Aunt Liansheng naturally misses you!" She wants to know if you are here, are you obedient, are you lazy, don't read, don't learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?!"
Ah Cha hurriedly shook his head vigorously, and said to Chen Yuyan: "Uncle Guoshi, Ah Cha has always been very obedient, he is in the General's Mansion, and he is working hard to learn everything with Aunt Yue, waiting for when Ah Cha will return to the imperial city, and then he will go to show Aunt Liansheng!" Show Aunt Qingwen! Show it to Your Majesty! And show it to the little prince!"
Chenyu couldn't help but praise Ah Cha and said, "Ah Cha, in this way, you are really well-behaved and obedient!" Then Uncle Chenyu will reward you with a gift, okay?!"
After saying that, he took out an ivory-white purse from his sleeve, embroidered with a camellia on the front and a lotus flower on the back.
Ah Cha excitedly took the purse from Chenyu's hand and said loudly, "Great! That's great! This is what Aunt Liansheng embroidered for me! There's also the zongzi candy put by Aunt Liansheng!"
"How do you know it's your Aunt Liansheng who embroidered it?!" Chenyu asked Ah Cha.
Ah Cha replied with a smile: "Of course Ah Cha knows, Ah Cha is most familiar with the embroidery patterns of Aunt Liansheng!" Aunt Liansheng embroidered a lot of beautiful and delicate flowers, not only camellia and lotus, but also begonia and gardenia! Last year, when Ah Cha celebrated his birthday, Aunt Liansheng gave me one before
Embroidered plum purse!"
After speaking, he took out his plum blossom purse and handed it to Chenyu.
Chenyu pretended to be jealous and looked at Ah Cha and said, "Ah Cha is really happy!" Uncle doesn't have such good treatment as Ah Cha! Turning around, Ah Cha also asked Aunt Liansheng to embroider one for her uncle?!"
Ah Cha nodded vigorously.
Pei Shi smiled and said to Ah Cha: "Ah Cha, okay, now that the master of the horse and the national teacher have come all the way over, they haven't taken a good sip of tea!" You came over and said these words to the National Master Chenyu! If you're tired of reading, go to the backyard and play!"
"I may not have seen Ah Cha for a long time, and I miss it very much, general, madam, it doesn't matter
If Ah Cha likes it, let Ah Cha stay here!" Chenyu said to the Xiao couple.
Ah Cha listened, looked at Chenyu and Lu Yan and smiled.
