Chapter 40: No Home

"Well, water can carry a boat and capsize a boat......"

Lang Lang Tongyin, not very articulate, not because of anything else, but Xuanyuan Qi has reached the age of changing her front teeth, she is missing an incisor tooth, yes, now she is carrying a book every time she speaks, she always wants to cover her teeth with the tip of her tongue.

While writing, he was still reading the article he was transcribing in his hand. Obviously, it would be good to just write an article and hand it over, so why should she be asked to memorize it? With such a long article and so many words, when are you going to let her copy it?

Sitting in the position of the lecture hall in the main hall of the Boundless Pavilion, Xuanyuan Qi looked angry, as if he was right.

Of course, at the same time, Gongyi Scarf, who wrote half of the article for her, was punished for copying it here, and she really didn't want to go.

The article homework handed over to Mrs. Xie, she wrote, but she ran out to eat snacks halfway through writing, and forgot about it directly at that time, until this morning, she was in the carriage entering the palace, under the dictation of Gongyifei, and scribbled the remaining half.

"Tsk, look, look. This is really a husband and wife in the same boat, and the sea of literature is rippling! ”

Xuanyuan Qi, who heard this, furrowed her brows, this voice, this joke, at this time, the person who said this, even if it was behind her, she knew that it was that stinky Xie Jin!

Here, Xie Jin, who came from outside, although he was joking like this, squatted down and began to gather the papers on the ground with his hands. For a long time, he had put away a pile in his hand, and he took it to the two of them again.

Gongyi saw this, although he was a little unhappy with the joke he made just now. The eyebrows were already raised, but they were still relaxed, but their eyes were still fixed on the paper, their heads were not raised, and even their bodies did not move for half a minute. I only heard him deliberately screaming his voice, pretending to be the usual daughter's embroidered mouth, and said "thank you" to Xie Jin, and then didn't pay much attention to it.

But what he didn't know was that Xie Jin's joke just now caused Xuanyuan Qi to make waves in his heart.

At the night banquet that day, she couldn't bear it for a while, and just dozed off, why did she go back to the palace when she woke up again, and told her that Gongyi had become her, the princess of His Royal Highness King Kang?

Xuanyuan Qi saw that Liu Chu's two eyes were circling back and forth around her more cautiously every day, but what could be done? It's just a little more careful not to let others know the identity of her daughter.

Fortunately, she is now seven years old, and she is still nine years away from turning sixteen.

"Well, it's divided, these are yours, and these are the Scarlet Princess's."

Xie Jin said, separating the pile of articles in Fang Cai's hand and handing them to their respective masters. In fact, he also clicked at the same time, the official ceremony has copied enough numbers, and the few sheets pressed by his hands on the case are redundant. And Xuanyuan Qi is just the one in his hand that can be handed over.

"I'll see, is it finished? Write quickly, today the taro also said that he would take us to practice the art of war today! ”

Xie Jin was very anxious to urge, and stretched out two fingers to pick up the corner of the paper. Coincidentally, Xuanyuan Qi was writing the last word in the last painting, which was a vertical.

So, Gongyi scarlet saw that Xie Jin's hand was one step faster, Xuanyuan Qi was one step slower, and the rice paper was immediately taken away by Xie Jin.

It is a very abrupt vertical, even if Xuanyuan Qi's words can be described as "chickens flying and dogs jumping", this vertical will be the most eye-catching.

"This ...... Hahahaha......" Xie Jin smiled heartlessly, laughing to the point of hilariousness, and it was at this time that Xuanyuan Qi turned around and ran out directly, and did not forget to pull the official scarf, only throwing a sentence to the initiator.

"When Taifu asked, I said that you wrote it!"

Okay, this time it's his own doing.

And Xuanyuan Qi, who ran out a long way with Gongyi, stopped under the hanging purple corridor in the Boundless Pavilion, anyway, it wasn't very close, and that Xie Jin wouldn't catch up for this little thing.

"Huhu...... Okay, Sister Scarlet, when you pass through this hanging purple corridor, you can go to the martyr's hall where the taro is located. Xuanyuan Qi said, his hand deliberately climbed up and scratched the corner of his left mouth, just enough to block the place where he was missing his front teeth.

And how can this little action be hidden from Gongyi's scarlet eyes, knowing that this little bean is not good to show his teeth in front of him, so he deliberately asked with a question, and asked knowingly, "Taro?" Who is Taro? Is it Mr. Yu? ”

Xuanyuan walked swaggeringly, without looking back, pulling a blade of grass in his hand, and turning in circles in his hand with his fingers. Hearing Gongyifei's question, he immediately raised his head, turned around and greeted Gongyifei with a smiling face.

"Of course, Xie Jin and they called him Old Man Yu at first, and then he called him Old Man Yutou, so we all called him 'Taro'." When Xuanyuan Qi said this, he took a bite of taro, and he called it in a straight voice, and he completely forgot to cover up the lack of teeth.

Gongyi looked at Xuanyuan Qi's appearance, and couldn't help laughing secretly, but he couldn't let this little bean Ding see it, so he had to purse his lips tightly, and the corners of his mouth on both sides were also pressed down at the same time, God knows how hard he endured this.

But Xuanyuan Qi was on the rise, talking non-stop, the two of them were walking in the Hanging Purple Corridor at the moment, so she told the things she heard from Xie Jin's mouth about the Hanging Purple Corridor.

"I heard that this corridor was originally called the 'Hanging Hair Corridor', and in order to let us emulate the hard work of our ancestors, Master Taifu and several other masters said what is called 'head hanging beam, cone piercing strands'. But then General Xu came once, and when he heard it, he started scolding, scolding those masters for saying how to come up with this name, and when he heard it, it was like there were many hanged ghosts in the corridor, and Mrs. Xie changed his name. ”

Xuanyuan Qi said it in one breath, and Gongyi also listened carefully, he didn't expect that the name of this corridor actually had such a story, and Hanging Purple was indeed much better than Hanging Hair.

Gongyi thought about it, his steps slowed down slightly, staring at the wisteria that fell from the top of the corridor to the ground, and at first glance, he only saw a piece of purple, and there was a little soft white in the middle. And closer, only staring at the single one, in a trance, the breeze passed by, like smelling flower bells.

And Xuanyuan Qi, he noticed that Gongyi Fei was slowing down in the back, so he was not in a hurry to go, just one person was naughty in front, looking around, one moment he was sitting on the railing of the cloister, looking at the sparrows falling on the trees in the distance, and for a while he felt a few stones from nowhere and threw them under the trees, not wanting to hurt innocent creatures, it seemed that he just wanted to scare those sparrows.

Behind her, Gongyifei, who was separated by a distance, also turned his gaze from the wisteria to the little bean ding. In his eyes, this innocent red shadow was carefree and very happy. Watching quietly like this, Gongyi sighed, his eyebrows locked, and then loosened, locked again, and loosened again.

Unexpectedly, one day, his fate would be like this.

"Building...... Banner...... The heavy and long sound of the ......" suddenly came from a distance, muffled, like a very dragging forward pace, again and again, striking directly on people's hearts, making people's hearts tremble.

Although it has only been more than a year since he came to Xuanguo, Gongyi Fei probably guessed that this was not an ordinary bell, but a mourning sound to comfort the deceased.

"Sister Scarlet? This?! ”

"Good, let's go to Mr. Yu to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first."

This time, it was Gongyi Fei who took Xuanyuan Qi's hand.

Turning the end of the corridor, the two of them entered the Martyr's Hall, and the strange thing is that Liu Shi, Xie Jin and Xu He were all there, and Xuanyuan was the only one to be seen.

The bell has not stopped, and the atmosphere is different and depressing. No one made a sound, Gongyi Fei thought to himself, it could never be Xuanyuan Shan who had an accident, and it would not be the emperor, then, who is this mourning sound for?

A few people sat still, waiting for the bell to stop. No one noticed, Xu He's eyes were empty and abnormal, as if he had lost a heart.

Wait, long wait, long, long......

Until Xuanyuan Jue, Dan Gonggong and others appeared in front of the Fierce Soldier Soup, Dan Gonggong took a holy decree in his hand and came to read it.

The one who listens to the order is Xu He.

He fell to his knees, and finally heard the news that he would rather never have heard.

General Xu was ordered to garrison the northern frontier, and encountered a surprise attack by the cavalry of the northern frontier, and the enemy was repeatedly lightened, although the army was overturned and fought bravely, but finally the enemy was defeated, and his body was dead, and his body was gone. The holy memory of the past has made great achievements, and once it passes, it cannot eliminate all achievements, and its sins are eliminated.

……

A long holy decree, and the rest, what Gonggong Dan read, Xu He didn't remember a word.

Even the final thanksgiving, Liu Shi patted him on the shoulder, and he stiffly kowtowed like a puppet. From his teeth, he only squeezed out one sentence for a long time, and his speech was slurred, as if he was babbling.

"Minister...... The Holy Grace of Emperor Xu Hexie ......"

Holding the yellow silk brocade edict in his hand, Xu He's eyes were staring at the ground, Gonggong Dan and his party had already left, and the people around looked at Xu He motionlessly, but no one dared to come forward to comfort.

After a long silence, Xuanyuan coughed, and in a low voice, his eyes closed, and then opened again, and his teeth were clenched tightly by him.

"General Xu's well-dressed coffin was sent to the imperial mausoleum in the southern suburbs for burial last night."

Hearing this, Xu He ran out, Xie Jin and Liu Shi saw this, and hurriedly followed.

Yu Qinglin shook his head, and then waved his hand to Gongyi Fei and Xuanyuan Qi behind him, "Let's get out of class, His Royal Highness King Kang and Princess Scarlet please go to the palace." ”

After a few waiters, the palace maid sent the two away, and when Yu Qinglin came back, Xuanyuan Jue was still standing in place. Both hands were clenched tightly by him, and the nails on the ten fingers were deeply clasped in the palms of his hands, almost embedded in the flesh.

"Blame yourself?"

Yu Qinglin knew in his heart that General Xu's death was very strange, and he also knew that if Xuanyuan hadn't handed over the jade order, perhaps, General Xu would not have been like this, he was killed by calculations, and he would have to bear the name of slandering the enemy. But these three simple words, he didn't ask Xuanyuan Jue after all.

He could see that Xuanyuan was remorseful.

At the same time, far away in front of a stone tower in the northern frontier, a black-clothed female crown walked out of it, carefully holding a heavy burden with both hands.

Seeing that she was about to leave, the female crown moved her fingers that had just been burned by the ownerless spear in the stone tower.

"Well, since you want to accompany your master here, I can't help you."

After speaking, the female crown made a gesture to the several priests of the northern frontier standing next to the stone tower, and then turned and walked away.

On the other side, Xu He ran wildly all the way, his eyes were scarlet, but there was no trace of waves on his face, and there was wind under his feet, and soon he rushed to the imperial mausoleum in the southern suburbs before sunset.

However, how can the imperial tomb be so casual for people to enter and exit? He came recklessly like this again, and was naturally stopped by the soldiers guarding the imperial mausoleum.

"What people?! Dare to trespass on the Imperial Tomb! ”

Xu He was already anxious, and the sudden obstruction of the soldiers at the moment could be described as adding fuel to the fire. He has never liked to communicate with people much, but now Xu He didn't say a word, he went up with brute force with both hands, and directly threw the double halberd in front of him and the soldiers on both sides on the stone wall behind them, and he stepped on the wooden fence around the imperial tomb, but he climbed over a low wall in a few steps, and when he landed again, he was already next to the temple in the imperial tomb.

Although it was the first time he came to this place, it was probably because he had his own guidance in the dark, and Xu He quickly found General Xu's tomb with his intuition.

The mound of clothes is just a lonely mound of clothes, and nothing is left for him, but even this last side is not allowed to be seen.

Kneeling in front of the mound, Xu He lowered his head, unwilling to look at the words on the tombstone again, he didn't believe it, he didn't believe that his father was really dead.

He didn't believe it!

At this moment, a group of soldiers who were usually stationed in the imperial tomb had already arrived, and he did not flee, still kneeling there.

But these soldiers are indiscriminate, only as Xu He is a thief who trespasses on the imperial tomb, even if he is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

Two soldiers stepped forward, one of them clamped Xu He on the one hand, trying to pull him away from the mound, but he couldn't pull him for a long time, and one of the soldiers couldn't bear it, and directly punched Xu He on the cheek.

"Hmm......" Xu He felt a pain in his face and a toothache, and the force of this punch was not small, causing him to fall to the ground, and before he could get up, the two soldiers directly greeted him with a few kicks on his back and head. When he arrived, he became disgraced, and even his hair was scattered.

"Yo! I know, you're the bastard born to General Xu and a woman from Northern Xinjiang! Sure enough, it's not like me at all! ”

"Humph! What General Xu?! It's a waste at all! Xuanguo God of War?! It's not a hero, it's a bear! ”

"So many brothers died, just because he kept his hand on the people of Northern Xinjiang again and again, the emperor took care of the old merits, and let his clothes and graves be buried here, which is really a great grace!"

"It's just that he doesn't even have a dead man's bone left, he deserves it!!"

A group of soldiers surrounded them, you kicked, I punched, mixed with unbearable ridicule and slander. The vicious one was like a knife, slashing off one knife after another on Xu He's heart. Finally, Xu He couldn't bear it anymore.

A carp stood up, Xu He turned over and stood, although he was unarmed, but it was not a problem to deal with these idle and miscellaneous things. There was a sweep on the ground, and the surrounding soldiers fell to the ground. Then, he snatched the ash gun from the hand of a soldier, and he was mighty, but in a few strokes, this group of soldiers was beaten by him and couldn't stand up.

"Boom!" Xu He glanced around, and suddenly threw the ash gun in his hand to the ground with a blank look. The next moment, Xu He squatted down, grabbed a soldier's clothes, and asked, "Where's Yinqiu?!" Where's my father's silver! ”

What Xu He didn't know was that General Xu's silver sword was lost like his bones. Moreover, what was buried in the mound was nothing more than a temporary pair of ordinary armor.

Asked where the soldiers knew, Xu He left him behind. Then he went mad, stalking his neck, over and over again, and over and over again, and again

"Where's Silver?! Where did my father's silver go?!! Say!! ”

Like a heart-piercing poisonous curse, Xu He's eyes became redder every time he asked, and his two eyes were like the giant wolf in the forest, fierce, but to hide the grief in his heart.

This kind of mad demon's behavior lasted for a long time, until Xie Jin and Liu Shi came to ask for the prince's warrant and the holy decree that was discarded by Xu He.

Seeing the opportunity, Xie Jin struck Xu He on the neck with a steady and neat hand knife, making him fall into a coma.

Although those soldiers wanted to take advantage of the origin of the imperial tomb, Liu Shi immediately took the prince's warrant in one hand and the holy decree in the other, and calmly spoke back.

"Yu Gong, General Xu is loyal and brave to serve the country, his son Xu He is the emperor's own Yuan Cheng Marquis, Yu private, Xu He is a son of man, come to worship his dead father, what's wrong?!"

It was night, when Xu He woke up, he was already in King Kang's mansion, the room was dark, but through the white moonlight outside the window, he saw a burden next to his pillow.

The burden is not big, but it is heavy, open it, it is an iron jar, under the bright moonlight, Xu He touched the wolf head totem on the iron can with his fingertips, this totem, he saw many times when he lived in northern Xinjiang when he was a child.

"It's half of your father's ashes, and as for the other half, I'll stay in the north to accompany your aunt."

Outside the window, a woman's voice came, and Xu He recognized that she was the female crown he brought with Xuanyuan and Xuanyuan Qi during his winter hunting.

"Thank you."

Xu He hugged the tin pot tightly, and looked deeply in the direction of the female crown's voice on the couch, and his eyes, which had been red for a long time, finally leaked a drop of pearl and dripped silently.
