He pointed at me, then at himself, and said, "Childe, we are all nine deaths and one life, Wensu loves himself, and Childe should also mourn." ”

I nodded, and said weakly: "Don't blame me for killing my sister recklessly, sir." ”

Zhang Wensu waved his hand and said, "How could Wensu blame her?" ”

At this time, Li Xuanba came in and said to me, "Big brother, I have your letter." ”

Sanniang helped me sit up on the side, I took the letter and looked at it, except that the envelope said that the recipient was me, and there was no payment, I didn't know who the person who wrote the letter was.

When I opened the letter and looked at it carefully, I realized that it was written by the old man Ziyi and Wang Qi. When they heard that I was seriously ill, they invited me to the old man's house to recuperate. I read the letter and felt a burst of sorrow, it turned out that I had promised Ruoxiu that when I was free, I would build a wooden house for her in the world to find a place that others could not easily find, and our family lived there, and at that time I imagined that the future residence would be the wooden house of the old man Ziyi, and now they invited me to recuperate, but I was left alone.

I have walked the road from Daxing City to Luoyang many times, but not once has it felt like it is now, and it seems to lead to a place that I have never reached. I have also been to the old man Ziyi before, when passing through Luoyang, I will visit by the way, but I have never had the current state of mind, I sat in the carriage and kept looking at the land behind me, imagining, if I can come back again, everything should be the vicissitudes of life.

Spring has arrived, and I have long since lost my love.

The old man's residence is the same as before, the only change is that the curtains in the tea room are all rolled up, and the harsh winter has passed, so there is no need for heavy curtains to shield from the cold wind.

I came to Luoyang alone, no one was at ease, Xun Jian and Xun Yi and two people must escort me, I can't refuse, and I don't want them to worry too much. After resting at Ding Yu'er's teahouse for one night, I left them in the city and went to the old man's residence by myself.

They obviously didn't expect me to come so soon.

When I got to the bamboo fence outside the wooden house, I met Zi Min who came out of the house, she had grown into a big girl, and I thought about it carefully, she should be thirteen or fourteen years old this year.

When she saw me, she stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Childe is here again?" He smiled, and without waiting for me to answer, he turned and walked in. I don't know why, her little gesture subverted my impression of her, the previous naughty and lively was a lot more restrained, but a little more girlish shyness.

Everything is changing, even I have changed too much, I used to be a high-spirited young man, but now I am not very old, but my heart is dead.

I waited outside the door for a while, Wang Qi helped the old man Ziyi out to greet him, and the old man Ziyi smiled when he saw me: "Little boy, after a few years, I can't imagine that there will be a meeting." ”

I arched my hand and said, "The seniors are serious. ”

Wang Jue stepped forward and helped my hand and said, "Childe, please inside." ”

The two of them led the way, and I followed them, through the cloister, and sat down in the tea-room.

The atmosphere in the tea room was very solemn, they didn't want to mention my sore spots, and I couldn't think of anything else in my mind except Ruoxiu.

After a while, Zi Min brought the tea and asked the old man Ziyi with a smile: "Master, have you heard about Hongluqing Yang Xuangan's rebellion in Liyang?" ”

The old man Ziyi looked at her, stroked his beard and frowned, "It's not like words!" The world is going to be chaotic, and you are just joking. Although the words meant reproach, the tone was very gentle.

Zimin didn't take such a reproach seriously, but said: "Mr. Wang has also said a lot on weekdays, the emperor's crusade to the east will definitely fail." Last time, it was because the enemy was strong, but this time it was because of the disaster. ”

Wang Jue looked at me and said, "I heard that no one was spared from the last expedition, I wonder if Gongzi went to Liaodong?" ”

I thought about it for a while, then I remembered a little fragment, nodded and said: "I served under the old general Yang Yichen and came back with a life." ”

Zimin's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Does Gongzi think that the conquest of Goguryeo should be?" ”

Of course not, but it didn't seem to come out of her mouth.

I shook my head and said, "How can millions of soldiers be buried in other places?" ”

She asked again: "Then Yang Xuan felt that he should raise troops?" ”

Of course it shouldn't, but I didn't find a reasonable reason after looking around, except for the sentence "Junjun, ministers ......" but now Yang Guangjun is not a king, how can he ask for "ministers"?

I shook my head again, she seemed to be satisfied, and after pouring the tea, she looked at the old man.

The old man Ziyi said with a smile: "Yang Xuangan raised troops, it is not the first time, there is Wang Bo Dou Jiande Zhai Rang as a reference. ”

Wang Jue waved his hand and said: "Yang Xuangan's rebellion cannot be compared with them, he was born in the Hongnong Yang clan, and he has a great influence among the scholars. If the news is true, I am afraid that it is the source of the chaos. ”

I didn't really want to listen to them talk about this, I just wanted to drink tea and calm down. Tea was meant to be a refreshing thing, and I drank two cups until I felt a little sleepy, and I couldn't listen to what they said, so I leaned on the coffee table and took a nap, and after a while I fell asleep.

When I woke up, I slept on a couch, Wang Jue sat on the side and flipped through the book, I smelled a very strong smell of medicine, and turned my head to see that a bowl of medicine was resting on the plate next to me.

Seeing that I was awake, Wang Jue put down the book and said, "Did the son sleep well?" ”

It was a very rude thing to fall asleep during the banquet, but Wang Jue came to ask me like this, I felt very embarrassed, sat up and arched my hand: "It's really rude to fall asleep during the banquet." ”

The old man Ziyi paced forward and said with a smile: "This can't be blamed on the little boy, but it is to blame for my apprentice, she put some soothing medicine in the little boy's tea, and the little boy drank it, how can he not be sleepy?" It's okay, but I don't know if the little boy slept well? ”

They all asked, and I had to answer, "This place is so beautiful and unusually elegant, how can you not sleep well?" Thank you seniors and Mr. Wang for your kindness. ”

Zi Min walked in and helped the old man Zi Yi and smiled at me: "Childe, hurry up and drink this medicine while it's hot." ”

The old man Ziyi nodded meaningfully and said, "Zimin personally decocted the medicine, a piece of kindness, don't let the son down." ”

I smiled and drank the medicine as soon as I took it, and after a while the bitterness slowly spread in my mouth, which was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.

Zimin probably didn't expect me to be so cooperative, so he was stunned for a moment before approaching and taking away the medicine bowl.

The old man Ziyi gestured to Wang Qi, who arched his hand towards me, got up and walked out.

When Wang Qi brought it to the door, the old man Ziyi condensed and said, "Little boy, your injury is not light." ”
