Chapter 171: Old Grace
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "The so-called reciprocation of the peach is true, don't say that the Han family was originally the minister of the first emperor of the Chang family, and it is the origin of several generations. Back then, I was in trouble with the county lord and escaped to the imperial capital, if it weren't for the old lord of Lingzun Han risking his life to rescue, how could I have my wife today? ”
Han Fu is the commander of the "First Division of the Imperial Capital", he is as rebellious as an eagle in Su Rili, and he is especially indifferent to others, but now when he heard Ye Zhiqiu suddenly mention the words "Old Master Han", his face changed greatly, and he couldn't help crying.
When Mrs. Ye heard the cry, she didn't know what was going on, so she hurriedly came out to see. When Han Fu saw Mrs. Ye, he couldn't cry anymore, and he couldn't speak.
Ye Zhiqiu explained on the side: "I just occasionally mentioned General Han, and Lord Han was sad for a while......
Mrs. Ye looked at Han Fuwu bowing her head and crying, wondering in her heart, and looked at her husband, but the latter avoided her gaze, and her heart immediately brightened.
She really understands her husband's thoughts in the shadows.
She glared at Ye Zhiqiu fiercely, turned around and picked up the teapot to refill some hot tea for Han Fu, and said softly: "Lord Han, the past is in the past. Even though Old General Han has some regrets, now that he has reached Bliss, why do you bother to bring out the troubles of his old man's life. ”
Han Fu cried: "The county lord doesn't know, my father told me privately before his death that the most tormenting thing in his life is the 'Old Lord Han' who has been called by the world for a lifetime. I think that my ancestors of the Han family fought in the last few generations, and the family background was innocent, and a piece of loyalty can be learned, just because the ancestors mistakenly fell into the Mu Yun clan's counter-plot and demoted the Li family, and since then they have been infamous as traitors. When the ancestor descended to Li, he woke up and realized that he had fallen into a trick, and he had no choice but to cover the water and it was difficult to recover, so he had to live in the cangwu ......"
As he spoke, he choked up again.
Mrs. Ye persuaded: "Lord Han, let's stop mentioning these sad pasts." ”
"Nope! County Lord, I have to say it, I've been holding it back for too long. The suffering of my father before his death, only I know best in this world, but I am afraid that the two of you also have a lot of things that I still don't know. ”
Seeing his resolute expression, Mrs. Ye had no choice but to persuade him no longer. Ye Zhiqiu still looked unfazed and sat aside indifferently.
"After the surrender of Li, although my Han clan was given a knighthood and entrusted with important tasks, Mu Yun's has always been wary of my Han clan, and the Li clan has obeyed Mu Yun's words, and has never trusted my Han clan for so many years. Everyone in the world says that this lord of my Han clan was a reward that he got from selling for glory back then. But my old father has been a native of Cangwu since he was born, and his military exploits have also been done by a real guy with a knife and a gun! How can it be said that the seller seeks glory? Even so, every time he makes meritorious contributions, there are always people behind his back who ruin his reputation with the traitorous behavior of his ancestors, so that every time he hears someone call him Old Lord Han, on the surface, if nothing happens, in fact, his heart is like boiling wax, and he has nowhere to complain...... He always said that the matter of the ancestors' surrender to Li has been completed, and he is helpless, and he just hopes that the descendants of the Chang family who escaped from the imperial capital can live a peaceful life, so he can comfort him in his heart. What did you expect......"
Han Fu looked at the bag in his hand and continued with tears in his eyes: "That year, my father heard that Mu Yunduo was looking for the stronghold of the descendants of the Chang clan in the northern realm, and took Mu Yunxuan and Mu Yunxi out of the nest to crusade against the descendants of the Chang clan. He was very anxious in his heart, so he automatically asked Ying to be the vanguard, but was rejected by Mu Yunduo, and Mu Yunxi also took a hexagram on the side, saying that if the Han family army was there, this battle would be fierce. In fact, Mu Yun's is clear
It was suspected that my father wanted to secretly save Chang. ”
When Han Fu said this, he suddenly smiled bitterly: "But in the end, why do they need to doubt that his father is so loyal, his thoughts about saving people can be seen by others, not to mention the Mu Yun clan who is the best in the world." So my father was helpless, so he had to stick to the imperial capital. On the second night of Mu Yun's army, my father drank alone in the camp in the suburbs that night, and his heart was like a knife when he thought of Chang's being attacked. My uncle said on the side, since you can't rest assured, why don't you simply send someone to the north to spy in disguise, and if you have the opportunity, you can also secretly rescue you. My father thought about it again and again, fearing that the people he sent would not be safe, so he decided to go to the north himself. ”
When Mrs. Ye heard this, she couldn't help but tremble and asked, "Old General Han...... Went to the North in person? ”
"Exactly...... Unexpectedly, that night, he was just about to leave the tent, and an urgent order suddenly came from the palace, saying that Li Mo, the king of the Yin Mu Kingdom who came to pay tribute, plotted to assassinate Emperor Qinwen in the palace, and had been corrected on the spot, and ordered the three major battalions of Songyang, Qingfeng, and Songfeng stationed in the imperial capital to go to the south at night to set foot in the Yin Mu Kingdom. My father must not disobey the military order, and he is not at ease to go to the north......"
Mrs. Ye was greatly moved, and Wen Yan comforted: "Lord Han, I already know the intentions of General Han very well, so there is no need to say anything more......
"No, I have to say, I've got to say it all tonight!"
Han Fu was so categorical that even Ye Zhiqiu, who was on the side, was a little surprised.
"The army is about to move south, and my father is worried that it will be inconvenient to attract people's attention if he brings his retinue, so he went to the north alone!"
"What? You said that General Han really went to the north?! Ye Zhiqiu and Mrs. Ye exclaimed almost at the same time.
"Yes, my father said that if the Chang clan is wiped out because he doesn't go to the north tonight, then it will be difficult for my Han clan to wash away the stigma of this traitor for the rest of my life. So he consulted with my uncle, and he went north alone, while my uncle disguised himself as my father and led the army south. ”
"Is there such a thing? Do this...... Haven't you been discovered? Ye Zhiqiu was already surprised, and he didn't notice that his wife was in tears when he heard it.
"Fortunately, my uncle and my father have similar appearances, and their voices are almost the same, and they are sent out on a starry night, and no one notices. On the third day, when he joined forces with the Qingfeng Songfeng Battalion, my uncle had already returned to the imperial capital under the pretext that my father was in military affairs, and did not arouse the suspicion of the Qingfeng Battalion and the Songfeng Battalion. ”
"Yes...... General Han went to the north, why didn't we meet him? Did you pass by us? Ye Zhiqiu said strangely.
"No...... Father he...... He's met you. ”
When Mrs. Ye heard this, she stood there like thunder, and muttered, "I know...... I know...... It's him, it's him!"
Ye Zhiqiu also suddenly came to his senses and asked in surprise, "Is it really him?" ”
"Yes...... That night, you and I escaped from the city, were caught by Mu Yunduo's sergeant and imprisoned in a cage, and later, a masked horseback rider came, he took advantage of the chaos to rescue us and carried us all the way back to the outskirts of the imperial capital, do you remember? Mrs. Ye looked at her husband, her eyes were full of tears.
"Of course I remember, how can I not remember, before he left, he handed me a wine bag, saying that let's go to the east of the imperial capital to find a wine shop called Pear Blossom Brewing, and naturally someone will take care of it." Ye Zhiqiu reminisced about the past as he spoke, and he was in a trance as if in a dream.
Han Fu paused: "Father ran sleeplessly for a whole day, and it was the night of the second day when he arrived in the north. At first, he stole the sergeant's clothes and infiltrated the camp, intending to take advantage of the chaos to save people when he entered the city with the army, but he was a step too late, and the Mu Yun clan had captured Chang's Songjiang City. When he was in despair, he heard that it was the two children in the city who secretly opened the city gate, and then he won the city without blood. He doubted that these two children would have anything to do with Chang's, so he tried every means to rescue them, but when he found the children, he found that the guards were very strict and there was no way to do it, so he came up with a plan......
Ye Zhiqiu had already heard it unbelievable, there were still people in the world who dared to do tricks against Mu Yunduo.
"My father wore the clothes of a sergeant, and began to spread rumors in the army, saying that the king of the Yinmu Kingdom used the name of tribute to assassinate the saint in the palace, and secretly united the six neighboring countries in the south, and wanted to take advantage of the absence of the three princes of Muyun to attack the imperial capital, so that the three battalions of the imperial capital have all gone out, and the life and death of Emperor Qinwen are unknown."
Ye Zhiqiu's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he said to himself: "The Mu Yun clan is the best at falsely reporting the strategy of discord, the old general's plan...... How can you deceive Mu Yunduo? ”
Han Fu smiled bitterly: "Just like you, a dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor, and he has no choice but to come up with this plan." But fortunately, there is no endless road, Mu Yunduo is not in the imperial capital, but there are people who use pigeon harriers to deliver news for him at all times. My father later learned that not long after his rumors spread, the pigeon harrier who sent the letter from the imperial capital also happened to be in Mu Yunduo's camp and told him about the assassination of Li Mo, the king of the Yin Mu Kingdom, and the starry night expedition of the three major battalions. So, Mu Yunduo was convinced of ....... ”
"Really...... There is no ...... in the sky The Road to Despair. ”
"After that, my father stole a military horse and rescued you while the Muyun clan was in a hurry to raise troops and no one cared about you while you were still in the cage.
Mrs. Ye couldn't help but be moved by herself, she never imagined that it would be General Han himself who saved the two of them that night. She only thought that she was going to die there, but suddenly she saw that the soldiers in the camp were panicking and began to run around.
Then the masked horseback rider appeared.
"But...... Why did General Han still have to cover his face after saving us? And why didn't he mention that night for so many years? ”
"My father said that Chang's family lost the country because of the Han family, and even if my Han family was broken, it would be difficult to get rid of regret. If you remove the scarf and let you know that it was saved by the Han family, it will teach people to think that this move is for the purpose of writing off the old accounts. ”
"Isn't it good to write it off?" Ye Zhiqiu suddenly asked.
"To save people is to save people, my father doesn't want to mention too many grievances, and he will be ashamed to mention it. He didn't have anything with him that night, so he handed you the wine bag he had with him as a token, led you to the wine shop in the east of the city, and secretly asked the housekeeper to wait for you at the wine shop. ”
"Yes, after that, he has been letting the housekeeper of the Han Mansion quietly settle the house for us, servant, so that we can survive and live in peace."
Mrs. Ye sighed to her husband: "What's more, if it weren't for General Han Lao who has been supporting you and me, how could you have your fame today." Back then, you became an official, and it was General Han who secretly paved the way for you, so you were promoted to the squire of the Ministry of Rites within a few years at a young age. ”
