Behind it is the lights of thousands of homes.

In front of you, snow was falling.

Li Wuwu stood on the tower of Zhengyang Gate, alone, in the snow, his sleeves fluttering, as if he was flying away from the immortals at any time.

"Although this wine is not as good as your long wine, it is still drunk. ”

The second senior brother Sun Hao handed over a small wine jug.

Li Wuwu took it, raised his head, and said, "Gollum-" in one breath.

The wine is like fire, burning to the throat and burning to the chest!

"Ha-" Li Wuwu let out a sigh.

Sun Hao pressed his hand on the city wall, looked at the misty snowy night outside the city and said, "This capital is not as comfortable as Changle Mountain, right?"

The sixth senior brother jumped to sit on the battlement of the city wall, holding a wine bag in his hand and dangling. Ren Xuehua fell with a face, "Senior brother, are you wrong, the little junior brother is now living in the moon boat, that is really gentle, the villagers are like jade, how can Changle Mountain have such a happy life?"

Li Wuwu ignored him, just raised his head and drank, and the wine in the pot drenched his clothes down his cheeks. After drinking all the wine, he was still not satisfied, threw the wine jug, stretched out his hand and said to the sixth senior brother: "Bring the wine!"

The sixth senior brother's eyes lit up, and he threw the wine bag in his hand to Li Wuwu.

Li Wuwu took the wine bag, unplugged the wine, and drank it in one go. Then he wiped his face with his big sleeve and shouted: "Happy!"

The sixth senior brother saw that his eyebrows fluttered, and he clapped his hands and said: "I said, junior brother, the liquor you drink is riding fast, why do you want to wear this sour statue?

"Senior brother is not allowed to talk nonsense, the little junior brother inherits the mantle of the old prime minister, and the little junior brother's body can't practice martial arts, you don't know it. The second senior brother hurriedly interrupted the sixth junior brother who was babbling nonsense.

"Hehe, I also want to fight on the battlefield like a senior brother, but senior brother, if I go to pick up the open gun on the battlefield, who will defend against the hidden arrow behind it?" Li Wuwu threw the wine bag to the sixth senior brother.

"Don't listen to him, the emperor's trick is very vicious, if you are not careful, you may lose your reputation. Sun Hao said with some concern. As Shen Tukong's second disciple, he had the responsibility to remind Li Wuwu, but he knew that Li Wuwu had his own opinions.

Li Wuwu turned around and walked towards the city. "Senior brother, I have nothing to worry about, but if you accompany me here to blow the cold wind here again on Chinese New Year's Eve, my sister-in-law will have to come to find someone with a stick!"

"That's right!" the sixth senior brother threw the wine bag, "Let's go!" The voice was still there, and the person had disappeared into the snowy night.

"The junior brother's kung fu is not very good, and the level of this escape is almost catching up with the third junior brother. Sun Hao's figure flashed like green smoke from the city wall.

The snow fell, and in a few moments, the footprints of the city were covered.

——————

The first day of the first month of the 33rd year of Hongyu. The emperor passed down the will, Da Yue and Da Han were clothed with water, in order to increase the friendship between the two countries, the sixteenth princess Yu Yao was specially married as the imperial concubine of the Han Dynasty. Li Wuwu, the son of Changle Mountain, is peerless and can be of great use, and is appointed as a family envoy and is fully responsible for marriage.

At the suggestion, there was a lot of quarrel among the Beijing teachers, some scolded the emperor for his incompetence and betrayed his daughter to seek peace, some lamented that his face was thin, some were indignant and resolutely opposed, and some shook their heads and said that this move was for the country and the people.

But Li Wuwu had to move back to the Prime Minister's Mansion from Deyuefang, firstly, he was appointed as an official, and it was not easy to live here anymore; secondly, when Laifang knew that he was going to send the princess to kiss, those women who were sympathetic to the same illness instantly gave Li Wuwu a cold face, which made him not embarrassed.

During the few days I lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion, many people came to visit. There are not only people from the Changle Mountain family who came to say hello, but also people from the Xungui family who came to give gifts.

More people are waiting for Li Wuwu's choice.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the emperor summoned Li Wuwu, and then issued an edict that Li Wuwu had accepted the post of envoy. The send-off procession will leave after the 15th Lantern Festival.

The matter is a foregone conclusion, no one cares about whether the princess Yuyao is willing or not, and no one remembers the weeping figure above the hall.

After Li Wuwu left the palace, the emperor summoned all the princes into the palace.

The emperor looked at the princes standing in front of him, and all the adult princes in Beijing were summoned.

"You all want to sit on this chair," the Emperor said lightly as he looked at the crowd in front of him.

Those princes immediately showed expressions of sincere fear. The emperor waved his hand and said, "But if you want to sit, you have to look at both strength and luck." ”

"Take a gamble, win, come back and sit in this chair. ”

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the day before the Lantern Festival, all the adult princes of Dayue left the capital. Before that, a large number of noble sons and undesirable generals in the army had left the capital.

Outside the east gate, the procession to send off relatives was huge, so large that the refugees were squeezed out of the moat.

After the send-off procession left in a majestic manner, the refugees hurried back to their trampled shacks and packed up to leave the capital.

Li Wuwu sat in the car, and what came to his mind was the smiling face of the Korean envoy, the heart-rending cry of the nineteen langs, the figure of the emperor standing on the city wall with an expressionless face, and the refugees outside the city gate who were looking forward to the future.

Li Wuwu admitted that this time he was stumped by the emperor's problem, not the matter itself, but his Dao heart, which was trapped.

He couldn't get out.

"Mr. Worry-free, the princess wants to put an incense on the Bao'en Temple in front of her to pray for Da Yue, the emperor and the concubine, you see?"

"Okay, then stop at Bao'en Temple. ”

Bao'en Temple is the largest temple in the capital, and the incense is flourishing on weekdays. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, more people come to offer incense.

It took a long time for the guards of the forbidden army to clear the people.

Li Wuwu looked at Princess Yuyao who got out of the car, it was only half a month, and Princess Yuyao was much thinner. But when she looked at Li Wuwu, Li Wuwu knew that this girl had grown up a lot, at least her eyes showed strength.

The presiding abbot who rushed to hear the news took the monks of the brigade to greet the princess.

The temple is majestic and looks very solemn. Large and small Buddha statues, resplendent in gold.

The princess was very sincere, and when she saw these Buddha statues, she knelt down and kowtowed.

A major hall, maybe this girl knows that she will never have a chance to come again in this life, she looks very carefully.

Outside the largest hall, there are monks who send high incense.

"Is the gentleman going to offer incense?" asked the princess.

Li Wuwu shook his head, and the strings of the Heavenly Dao between his fingers began to tighten as soon as he came to the vicinity of the temple, as if he was dissatisfied and disgusted.

"What are these clay puppets capable of? Believe in them than in myself. ”

The abbot said dissatisfiedly behind him: "The donor's words are wrong, the Buddha can't cross the people, and the sincerity is the spirit." ”

Li Wuwu turned around, looked at the kind-faced abbot and said, "The princess is very sincere, she doesn't want to marry in another country, you let the Buddha help her?"

The abbot clasped his hands together and said: "Life and death are all bitter, and the donor is in love." ”

Li Wuwu looked at the bald monk in front of him and said solemnly: "Well, it would be great if the disturbances in the red dust could be shaved like your hair!"

Princess Yuyao laughed out loud.

The abbot's hands trembled a little. He whispered, "Amitabha-"

Princess Yuyao refused to be accompanied by the abbot and walked into the main hall alone.

In the spacious and majestic hall, the tall golden statue of the Buddha is solemn, and he looks at the people who are prostrate and kneeling in front of him.

Yu Yao clasped her hands together and prayed in a low voice: "The Buddha is above, Yu Yao is here to pray to you, one wishes me the peace of the country, the second wishes of the country and the people, the second wishes of my father and the queen mother, the third wishes of the nineteenth Lang peace and joy, and the fourth wish, Yu Yao can still be in this life——"

There was a low cry in the hall.

Li Wuwu looked at the heavy pavilion in the distance, and sighed leisurely: "The most ruthless emperor's family!"

Suddenly, a low cry from the princess came from the hall.

The abbot flashed and was already in front of Li Wuwu, and it seemed that he wanted to enter the main hall before Li Wuwu. But he took two steps, and when he looked back, Li Wuwu was still in the same place, without moving his steps, and was looking at him with a smile.

The abbot knew that he was being seen through by Li Wuwu, and said with some surprise: "I'm sorry for the trouble." ”

Li Wuwu shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's also an old man." ”

In the main hall, Princess Yuyao looked at the two white-clothed women in front of her and said in surprise: "Sister Ziyan, why are you here?"

It turned out that just now, two women turned out from behind the Big Buddha, which frightened the princess into exclaim. But if you take a closer look, one of them is Hong Ziyan, a talented woman in Beijing who has been in contact with her in the past and has consulted on piano skills.

The daughter of the former Yushi Tai superintendent Yushi Hongtao.

Hong Ziyan took the woman beside her to kneel in front of the princess and said, "Disturbing the princess, the crime deserves death!"

The princess pulled Hong Ziyan up and said, "The two sisters got up and spoke." ”

Hong Ziyan took the princess's hand, looked at her much thinner face, and said softly, "The princess has suffered." ”

The princess smiled bitterly and shook her head, seeing that Hong Ziyan and the women around her were dressed in white, she thought of something, and said apologetically: "Sister is really suffering." ”

Hong Ziyan and the woman next to her glanced at each other, knelt down in front of the princess and said, "Princess, help!"

Yu Yao was taken aback and said, "What's wrong with my sister? Isn't my father already showing snow for Lord Hong?"

Hong Ziyan looked at the woman beside her and said: "Emperor Shengming, for my father Zhaoxue, but on the day my father asked for beheading, this Yang Yue's sister's father robbed the law field in order to repay the life-saving grace of the year and committed a capital crime. ”

"Ahh

"Now Mr. Yang has passed away from his injuries, but Sister Yang is wanted. Ziyan had no choice but to think of coming to the princess. Hong Ziyan pleaded.

"It turned out that after the righteous man, but what can Yu Yao help?" The princess hesitated, she was a princess to marry another country, and she couldn't even protect herself, who else could she protect?

"Da Yue has no place for Yang Yue, and Yang Yue is willing to follow the princess to Da Han. Yang Yue was born recklessly, and she still has some meager tricks, and she is willing to be a guard for the princess. ”

"Then Sister Ziyan, what should you do?" The princess had some doubts, she was not familiar with this Yang Yue after all.

"My father is gone, my brother's whereabouts are unknown now, and the capital is Ziyan's sad place, and Ziyan also wants to go to Dahan with the princess. ”

When the princess walked out of the hall with the two, she saw Li Wuwu looking at her. She said in embarrassment, "Sir, these two—"

Li Wuwu nodded, interrupted her words, and said directly to the two women: "Miss Yang, Miss Hong, mourn." ”

Yang Yue's body trembled, Hong Ziyan bowed her head and said, "There is nothing in the world that can be hidden from Mr. I'm sorry for the trouble. ”
