Chapter 3: Clues
Qiu Shuangliang only accepted the spiritual position, but did not take away the sacrifices he brought.
Sometimes people are like this sacrifice, they can still have some use when they are glamorous, but they are not liked in the end, and in the end they will only be abandoned.
The rain that had not stopped for a day stopped at this time, and the residual rain accumulated together, ticking and falling from the eaves, recording the time when the autumn frost came back, and the autumn frost had returned to his small courtyard.
Qiu Shuangliang had already moved out of the General's Mansion, and this small courtyard was provided for him by Jufulou.
At the beginning of the establishment of Jufulou, it was taken care of a lot by the general's mansion, and it was run by a general who retreated from the battlefield, and the general's surname was Mao, but it had a deep relationship with Qiu Zhenxiong.
General Mao lost his right hand and lost his right leg on the battlefield, his leg was saved, but he also lost his strength, although he could walk, he was also lame.
Now Qiu Shuangliang is a popular corner of Jufu Building, and he should arrange a place for Qiu Shuangliang from private affairs.
The small courtyard is very simple, and it cannot be compared with the conditions of the General's Mansion.
Two residences, a thatched house, not even a study, all the books in the autumn frost were moved into the bedroom, piled up, if you don't light the lamp to illuminate the bad weather, you will be a blind man in the dark when you enter the house.
There is only a small yard in front of the bedroom, and a big tree occupies half of the yard, so it is impossible to practice martial arts, and you can only move your hands and feet and practice opera.
Further on, it is the gate of the straight hall, the lighting of the whole yard is not very good, if it is summer, it is cool, but if it is winter, I am afraid that it will be dark early.
The courtyard is very small, crowded in a pile everywhere, as if it was put together, but don't underestimate this courtyard, this is the residence that General Mao Buwei has been looking for for a long time to find.
Although the sparrows are small, they have all the organs, except for the cool autumn frost, there are only people who have been cleaning for a long time.
Although the courtyard is not delicately decorated, there is not a trace of dust in the corners, and there are no fallen leaves in the courtyard, all of which are confined to the corners of the trees.
Footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, and the servant stopped the broom in his hand and stared straight at the gate.
"Squeak"
The gate was pushed open, and Autumn Frost Liang stepped into the courtyard. Seeing the cool autumn frost, the subordinate retracted his gaze and saluted lightly: "Childe, you are back." ”
"Well, Lu Lin, I'm back."
Autumn Frost nodded lightly in response and walked towards his bedroom.
"Childe wants to eat?" Lu Lin asked.
Hearing Lu Lin's question, Qiu Shuangliang stopped, a glimmer of light flowed from the corner of his eyes, but he quickly hid it again.
"What's so special about today's dinner?"
"It's also an ordinary thing, but today Jufulou found some fresh things, and made some small dishes, which have long been prepared for the son, just to see how the child's appetite is, if the appetite is not good, I went to push this meal, but it's a pity that this dish took a lot of effort from the chef."
"In this way, I can't push it, but I just add trouble, and I don't want to go."
"The shopkeeper doesn't like to hear the general's words."
"Have you cleaned this yard?"
"Don't worry, Childe, there is no dust in the yard that will damage Childe's eyes."
"Over the years, I've worked hard for you."
Qiu Shuangliang saluted Lu Lin, but Lu Lin didn't hide and accepted his salute.
Qiu Shuangliang returned to his room, lit half an oil lamp, Lu Lin buried his head, and continued to sweep the ground.
After about ten minutes, the sound of footsteps sounded outside the courtyard again, but this time, Lu Lin had already waited by the gate.
The gate was opened again, and a woman dressed as a servant entered the courtyard with a meal.
"You're here in person, Xuanxuan."
"Well, Childe's business is our business, Xuanyi Gongzi has instructed, Mr. Shuangliang's affairs must not be slack."
"Nonsense, why do you also call Mr. Shuangliang with the world? Don't do that. ”
"Slightly ......" Xuanxuan grimaced at Lu Lin, "People think it's more appropriate to call him Mr." ”
Lu Lin tapped lightly on Xuanxuan's head, "You better send it to the son first, the prince of the province is in a hurry." ”
"I know that knocking on someone's head, they're stupid enough, what if they go on like this, what if they get even more stupid?" Xuan Xuan said bitterly, but she walked towards Qiu Shuangliang's residence, and Lu Lin also closed the door.
"Childe, dinner has been delivered." Xuanxuan came to the door and knocked lightly.
"It's Miss Xuanxuan." Qiu Shuangliang opened the door and welcomed Xuanxuan in, and Lu Lin's figure flashed and disappeared into the courtyard.
"Is there any clue?" As soon as Xuanxuan entered the house, Qiu Shuangliang couldn't wait to ask.
"Childe, please take a look." Xuanxuan put the dinner on the table and took out an envelope from her arms, on which were written with the words "Frost and Cool".
Qiu Shuangliang looked at the envelope, his pupils suddenly tightened, and the whole person froze there.
It's been five years, and the feelings he has hidden for five years have been constantly compressed, and finally broke out at this moment, the bright red bloodshot around his eyes gathered together, in the dark room, like a wolf in the night, the lights beat up and down in his eyes. He held out his hand, stopping the moment he touched the envelope.
The result of waiting for five years was imminent, but he didn't dare, he always had the object of suspicion in his heart, but he kept telling himself that it was impossible.
The emperor came to the north for no reason, and his father supported him to return to the capital, and then he died in Huangqiao, all of which happened too coincidentally.
The monarch's ministers had to die, the Qiu family had been loyal to the ministers for generations, and Qiu Shuangliang also knew his father's pedantic thoughts, which can be seen from his father's request for him to enter the army and make meritorious contributions.
Five years ago, he was ambushed and knocked unconscious by a group of people when he returned to the capital, and when he woke up, he was in a small dark room, Qiu Shuangliang thought that those people were Di people who had infiltrated the north, but those people did not torture him, and even brought food and water every day.
He didn't know how many days he had been imprisoned, and those people suddenly knocked him unconscious, and when he woke up again, he was lying at the door of Jufu Building, and was awakened by the child who got up early and opened the door.
From that group, he learned an important piece of news, General Wei Yuan, who had died in battle against Huangqiao.
When he learned that the imperial court had erected a mound for his father, he was stopped by the guards, and he was not allowed to enter the general's mound where ordinary people could enter to pay homage.
The guards said that he was a deserter from the battlefield, and that this was his forbidden area.
A group of strongmen dared to ambush a general around Kyoto, and could quietly transport one person to the bustling Jufuku Building.
He suspected the conspiracy of the imperial court, he suspected the power struggle of the imperial court, but he couldn't believe it, he had to find all the evidence to convince himself, because there was a very important person in the imperial court, the ninth princess Xu Junyue.
