Chapter 280: A Family
Early the next morning, before dawn, Lu Li's old department in the barracks came over, and when he saw Lu Li's situation at this time, he tightened his brows and looked dissatisfied.
"The general has made such a great contribution to the court for the country and the people, but the royal family has forced people into such a situation because of trumped-up charges, it is really hateful and annoying! General, what are your plans for the future, I and a few brothers in the barracks are waiting for your news! ”
Lu Li looked at his resolute appearance, and his heart warmed slightly.
Sure enough, as the old saying goes, friends in the court may not be able to be relied on, and brothers who have been born and died in the military camp are the real ones to rely on.
"I'd like to ask you to bring me a letter."
This letter, in fact, Lu Li had already written it when he was in the Lu family, but he was in a hurry to leave, so he didn't have time to send it out, and now the old department in the military camp came over, and it happened that he asked him to help send the letter.
"The subordinates will not fail in their mission!"
He came quietly, and he walked neatly, Zhou and Xiaodong Xiaoxue, who were resting in the temple, didn't even notice that someone had come, but An Xiabai accidentally touched the wound because he turned over, causing him to wake up from his dream, and happened to see the figure of the person leaving.
Lu Li's absence from his side, coupled with the hardships he has experienced in recent days, has made An Xiabai wary of everything.
"Who is it?"
Hearing the voice, Lu Li walked in.
"One of my subordinates from the barracks came to check on the situation, and now he's gone."
"I see." Anxia Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Li then walked to her side in the faint light of the day, and asked with a smile: "It's not dawn yet, madam, you need to rest more now, why don't you lie down and sleep for a while?" ”
An Xiabai shook his head, and turned his eyes to look at the scenery outside the window, at that time, there was already a little light in the sky, and it was not far from dawn.
Like a cat, she leaned on Lu Li's arms and coquettishly: "It's all this hour, where can I still sleep?" Husband, I suddenly remembered that we hadn't been together for a long time and talked, so why don't we go to see the sunrise together today? ”
An Xiabai's suggestion, how could Lu Li disagree?
Since she wants to see the sunrise, then go.
He left the broken temple with An Xiabai in his arms and walked all the way to an open plateau.
When I came to the place, the sun happened to rise, and the golden light sprinkled all over the ground, giving people a warm feeling.
The beautiful scenery that greeted his eyes relieved some of An Xiabai's restless mood.
"I want to be able to watch the sunrise and sunset with my husband every day, uh, isn't that too extravagant?"
Lu Li smiled and landed a gentle kiss on her cheek.
"It's not extravagant at all."
The old department returned to the barracks with Lu Li's letter and gathered all the people who supported Lu Li, and everyone was indignant when they heard that he had suffered this disaster.
"General Lu has such a great contribution to the country, and a hero like him can be persecuted by the royal family, let alone us? Serving the royal family is never a dead end! Someone summed up this sentence.
"Mi is right, this court is not worthy of our service!"
Lu Li's letter is like a stone thrown into the water, causing a thousand waves, it can be said that most of the people in the military camp are willing to serve him, and the generals are all willing.
After all, the imperial court has gone too far, thinking about others and themselves, no one dares to conclude that they will not become the next Lu Li.
When the person who sent the letter went back to report to Lu Li, the time was in the afternoon, and he heard that those brothers in the barracks were willing to follow him and were willing to fight for themselves, Lu Li was quite moved in his heart: "If it happens, I will definitely not treat you brothers badly!" ”
The old department nodded, and said with a heroic smile: "With the general's words, I will have a bottom in my heart!" ”
"By the way," Lu Li suddenly remembered what happened after he left the barracks, "How are you doing in the barracks recently?" ”
"Alas, don't mention it, isn't your position removed, general, a new general has recently been replaced, although he is as young as the general, but he is a ten-out of ten showman, he has never been on the battlefield, and the knowledge of military advisers is learned from books, and people have no ability. Since he came, the people in the barracks who were loyal to the general were so suppressed that they couldn't even lift their heads! ”
Lu Li's mood was slightly gloomy.
Just as they were talking, An Xiabai in the ruined temple was also talking to someone.
Jiang Shi, that is, the old lady of General Li's mansion, after hearing that An Xiabai suffered this catastrophe, he hurried over with his henchmen, and when he saw An Xiabai's down-and-out appearance, her nose was sore, and she actually shed tears directly: "I asked him to help you talk more before, and then I just protect you, but he didn't listen, and stood by until now!" But pity my granddaughter! ”
Needless to say, An Xiabai knew who the old lady was referring to, it must be Li Wenfeng.
In fact, General Li didn't do anything on the surface, and he had already helped a lot in private, so An Xiabai was naturally willing to help him speak.
"The general should have his own concerns."
The old lady took An Xiabai's hand, her eyes turned around in the broken temple, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that it was not good: "Why don't you go back with me, the Lu family can't go back, just go back to me, how uncomfortable it is to live in this broken temple!" And these two children, how can they be allowed to suffer! ”
An Xiabai knew that the old lady was thinking about herself, and it was precisely because she knew that she was unwilling.
"Now that the situation between the DPRK and China is still unclear, I can't implicate you."
The old lady looked at her reasonable appearance, and couldn't help but think of her daughter-in-law, the temperament of the two can be said to be exactly the same: "I really hope you can think less, such a good child has to suffer so much, it is really distressing to watch!" ”
An Xia Bai smiled and shook Zhou's hand vigorously: "Old lady, when you go back later, you must remember to tell the general, don't enter the palace during this time, no matter how the palace is called, don't go, the general is close to us is a matter known to the world, and the Wan royal family uses this as an excuse to deliberately target, and things will be difficult to do." ”
Although he knew that the old lady and Li Wenfeng should have thought of this, An Xiabai couldn't help but say a few more words.
"I understand." The old lady nodded vigorously, "Don't just talk about others, think about your own future path first, what are your plans with General Lu now?" ”
"I, I don't know what the general thinks yet." An Xia said with a fluttering look in her eyes.
The old lady is such a shrewd person, just by seeing her expression, she knows what An Xiabai is thinking in her heart, since she doesn't plan to say it explicitly, the old lady doesn't ask, only promises: "No matter what you and General Lu plan to do next, we will be on your side!" After all, we are a family, blood is thicker than blood, and your father and I must not let you be wronged! ”
The old lady's firm words were like a warm breeze blowing, which warmed An Xiabai's heart.
When Li Wenfeng and the old lady thought that she was their long-lost relative, An Xiabai didn't admit it, and on the surface they changed their titles, but in fact they still regarded them as outsiders, but now that they are protected by the old lady, she really trusts them and is willing to open her heart to them.
"Grandmother!"
Just two words, but the old lady's heart was hot: "What do you call me?" ”
An Xia Bai screamed again with tears in her eyes.
The old lady also cried, and the two hugged each other, for many years of separation, and for the various hardships that An Xiabai had experienced recently.
This reminiscence was not until dark, the old lady reluctantly left, before parting, An Xiabai told her to be careful on the road, and told her to be cautious.
Every word was firmly remembered by the old lady.
By the time she returned to the house, Li Wenfeng had been waiting at the door for a long time.
In fact, Li Wenfeng also wanted to go to the broken temple to see the current situation of Lu Li and An Xiabai, but when he was about to leave, the old lady kept an eye on it, saying that the current situation was special, and if he went to see Lu Li with him, maybe he would be held by someone with a heart, so Li Wenfeng didn't go.
Now as soon as the old lady came back, he came forward: "Mother, how are Xia Bai and Lu Li doing now?" ”
As soon as she said this, the old lady couldn't help crying: "It's so cool, you don't love you to see it together, the broken temple environment is too difficult, I-"
Halfway through the words, the old lady couldn't bear to continue.
Her attitude showed that the situation was not good, and Li Wenfeng's mood became solemn: "All this is temporary, it will be fine in the future, I will report to the emperor when I go to court tomorrow, and I must thoroughly investigate this matter to the end." ”
"Don't! Don't go! The old lady covered Li Wenfeng's mouth and pulled the person into the door.
"Mother, what do you mean by that?"
The old lady said cautiously: "Don't go to the court during this time, now is a special period, and the emperor may even have to punish our crimes." Let a sleeping dog lie. ”
Li Wenfeng rejected this proposal at first: "Now that the crown prince is imprisoned, the other ministers of the DPRK and China are silent and dare not talk about Lu Li, if I don't say it, then there is really no way to clear up the grievances!" ”
"What else to wash, whether there is a sin or not, everyone is watching." The old lady directly helped Li Wenfeng make a decision, "Listen to me, don't go, as for the leave, I'll tell the emperor." ”
That night, the old lady went into the palace to face the saint.
As soon as she saw the emperor, she burst into tears and cried bitterly in front of the emperor.
Out of respect for the old man, the emperor helped her up and said with concern: "Old lady, what's wrong with you?" If there is any difficulty, just say it, and I will definitely help you solve it. ”
"There's one." The old lady looked up with tears in her eyes and said as if pleading, "I would like to ask Your Majesty for a will." ”
She told the emperor that Li Wenfeng has been too crazy recently, he has been practicing his body for the affairs of the court, staying up late for several days to deal with official business, and now the old injury has not healed and he has fallen ill again!
"He is my only son, I have persuaded him several times to tell him not to work so hard, but he refuses to listen to a word and insists on doing things with illness, so I want to ask the emperor to make a holy decree that he will take leave at home recently and take care of his body first."
"I didn't expect General Li to be able to do so much for the country, I am really ashamed that I have given this holy decree."
