Chapter 030: Love's Attachment
Mi Tong got this fief with a radius of 100 miles, plus the original 50 miles, which can be regarded as a small scale. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info coupled with the dangerous terrain in the Jingshan area, and the climate is suitable for planting grains, it is really a natural place for self-cultivation and rest, and it is a place where soldiers must fight.
Mi Tong said goodbye to his friends in the capital, received the Fu Festival, led his personal soldiers, and moved his family. However, Mi Tong doesn't have many friends, and there are not many people to see him off for this, so he really doesn't look like the style of a gentleman.
However, Wu Feng is a close friend, and he is worried about the dangerous road and the fear that someone will frame him, so he has to personally lead the team to escort him. Mi Tong was made to cry and laugh, but what Wu Feng said was unreasonable, so he didn't shirk too much, so he had to accept it happily.
For the sake of caution, Mi Tong and their large army left Danyang City, and their troops were divided into two routes. The large army was still under the banner of Mitong, led by Wu Feng, and marched on the road to Jingshan; And Mi Tong himself only walked the path with a dozen or so good hands, and the personal guard Yongxiao was naturally among them.
Mi Tong's horseback riding skills have also been practiced so-so at this time, so that he will not always fall off the horse's back like before, and there is no problem in managing himself.
Fortunately, he was unharmed all the way, and I don't know if the prince really felt that Mi Tong was no longer a threat, or if he had a conflict with the prince and did not discuss a good way to deal with it.
In short, they went smoothly and were not hindered in any way. When he arrived at the side of the Danjiang River in the territory of Gu Guo, Yong Xiaocai rode his horse to catch up with Mi Tong and whispered: "Childe, this is the ...... Gu Country."
Mi Tong was thinking about how to get to Jingshan as soon as possible at this time, so naturally he didn't think about it, he just nodded and replied, "Hmm! I know that it is Gu Country, not far from Jingshan! ”
Yong Xiao was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he quickly recovered, and only said in a louder voice: "Childe, this is Gu Country, and Madame's grave is buried on the 'Back Mountain', don't you want to go and pay respects!" ”
"Ugh! Lu ......" Mi Tong listened, his heart was shocked, and he suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse.
I saw that the horse's momentum was too strong, and it didn't stop until it hit two laps in place.
Suddenly looking back, his eyes opened sharply and asked Yongxiao, "What?" ”
Yong Xiao confirmed again: "When my wife was killed by a traitor, my brothers risked their lives to snatch back my wife's body, and then quietly buried it on the 'back mountain'. Later, he found his son in this Danjiang River, fled all the way, and was really lucky to meet the army of Guguo to rescue, so he returned to Chu safely. It's just that after Ao Shang learned of his wife's accident, he didn't specifically ask his wife about the accident, nor did he send anyone to find his wife's whereabouts. At that time, Gongzi was confused and his power was declining, so I didn't dare to report to Jun Ao. ”
Mi Tong listened, looked at the hill on the bank of the Danjiang River, and asked, "What about ...... Last time I went to Jingshan to build a sacrificial rooftop, why didn't you mention it to me? ”
Yong Xiao lowered his head and said in frustration: "Last time, Childe just woke up, and I can't figure out Childe's situation; And it's a big road, far away from here, and Childe has the task of building a sacrificial rooftop, so it's not easy to disturb, for fear of delaying Childe's trip. None of ...... is mentioned."
Seeing Yongxiao's low voice, Qi Tong's mood was also infected, after all, the blood on his body now came from the master in the tomb of the 'Back Mountain'. Mother's love is the greatest love in the world. Passing by here today, he said that he should also go and pay respects. Although he still retains the thoughts of the afterlife that have traveled through time, this does not replace his blood relationship with this great mother! As soon as he thought of this, Mi Tong thought of his mother in the next life, and wondered what his mother would be like now when he traveled here?
The mood was infected, his nose was unnaturally sour, his eyes were slightly moist, and he whispered: "Go, lead the way!" ”
Yong Xiao nodded, and immediately rode forward, heading straight to the "back mountain".
Mi Tong and his party followed behind Yongxiao and came to a small hill. I saw that the periphery of this mountain bag was overgrown with weeds, and it was inconspicuous from a distance; But once we reached the inner perimeter, there were significantly fewer weeds, and it could be seen that some of the thorns that grew well had been cut down......
Yong Xiao stood still and whispered to Mi Tong: "In the past, we were all soldiers from Yongguo who came to worship, and everyone took turns to weed the grave of our wife. Recently, Childe has woken up, and I have to do something for Childe, but there are fewer of them......"
As he spoke, he fell into infinite mourning!
When Mi Tong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. Looking at this small mountain bag, there is not even a tombstone. Alas, think about your mother, how to say that she is also the princess of the Yongguo Kingdom and the wife of the Marquis of the Chu State. It's just that......
Mi Tong suddenly thought that after making a gambling contract with Dr. Bu Yin in the palace that day, he had a word with his father Ao in the backyard of the palace. My father said that my mother was lowly and died young. But Yongxiao said that my mother was a princess of Yongguo, since she was a princess, how could she have a low status? Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked Yu Yongxiao the doubts in his heart.
Yong Xiao listened, and only shook his head again. said lightly: "This ...... We have to start with the two countries! The mediocre country must be mediocre, but it is the head of the barbarians. In that year, he followed King Wu of Zhou to raise troops to destroy Shang, and was even named an earl. The title of duke is already quite high. Thinking that the Chu State followed King Wu to fight back then, he didn't even get a title, and the ancestor Mane Bear could only die by bleeding, which was really a weak tribe; It wasn't until the time of King Zhou that he saw that the Chu clan was growing stronger and stronger, so Xiong Yan was named a viscount, and Chu was founded at the beginning. Then, the state of Chu became stronger and stronger, expanding everywhere, and had the potential to replace the Yong state as the head of the barbarians. For this reason, the contradiction between Chu and Yong is getting bigger and bigger. ”
"So the state of Chu and the state of Yong have always been enemy countries, right?" Mi Tong asked.
Yong Xiao continued: "Not bad. The two countries are incompatible. But Madame, who is the princess of Yongguo, fell in love with the prince of Chu at that time, who is also today's Ao Shang. Where can this be tolerated by a mediocre country? And Madame, not only did she not repent, but she also voluntarily removed her status as the princess of Yongguo, discarded her noble surname, and only took me and other personal soldiers with her, and fled to Chu without permission......"
Mi Tong listened, dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the princess of the dignified country would give up almost everything for the sake of love, and find a son from an enemy country to marry, how much courage it would take! You must know how valuable the aristocracy of this era is; Once discarded, they are commoners, or even slaves......
Mi Tong thought about it, and had to look at his mother, who was related by blood. It's just that...... His father, Ao, the king of a country in the state of Chu, did not seem to treat such a person who loved him deeply; Even if she died in a foreign country, she didn't bother much...... Mi Tong can't help but ask: Is it worth it for such love?
But it's worth it or not, only the person concerned knows, and no one else has the right to ask, even if it's his son. Because he had no idea what was going on between his parents and how many ordeals he had gone through!
For such a mother, Mi Tong also felt sad in his heart. bent down deeply, dug a handful of soil on the ground, and put it on the grave safely, which can be regarded as his filial piety as a son of man! At the same time, holding back the sadness in his heart, he turned his head firmly, and ordered in a low but clear voice: "Go." ”
All the entourage, just like Mitong, one person holds a handful of soil, puts it on the grave, and then leaves!
It's just that when they came to the riverside path, they were still demoralized, and no one had recovered from the mood just now. But at this moment, a small boat suddenly appeared in the middle of the river and slowly docked beside them.
I saw two women coming down from the boat, one with an elegant temperament, similar in age to Mi Tong, with a good face, picturesque eyebrows, and a slender height, and at first glance he was the master; Although the other looks average, he is also neatly dressed, and at first glance he is a maid from a somewhat powerful family.
It wasn't until the two women stood in front of them that they suddenly woke up, and their hearts were too careless just now, fortunately there were two women who came down, if it was a pair of enemy soldiers who came down, then they would be miserable.
Mi Tong grabbed the reins of the horses, stopped aside, and motioned for the two women to pass first, presumably for fear that the horses would scare the women.
However, these two women were not affected, and they saw that the girl who looked like the master also returned the salute, but also asked: "Who is the childe, why did he come to my Gu country, and where is he going?" ”
Mi Tong didn't want to reveal his identity in front of outsiders, so he had to reply half-truthfully: "We are all people from Chu who are passing by, and this time we will go to Jingshanyi by going to Guguo!" ”
"Chu people?" The girl listened to a slight thought, and asked half-loudly but excitedly: "Do you know that the prince of Chu is the prince of Chu State, and I heard that his madness has cured, is it true?" ”
"Ugh!" When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other and looked at each other.
Mi Tong pinched the horsewhip, and then thought about it and replied: "Gongzi Tong is the prince and the prince, of course we know." It's just that the girl is asking what this is for? ”
The woman also looked a little embarrassed, and said, "Well, it's nothing, it's nothing, just ask." Didn't you hear that he had dementia? Now it is rumored that he came up with this method of curing the plague, and he is curious about it, so he wants to see with his own eyes what kind of person he is! ”
Mi Tongxin said, I see! I had to reply: "Indeed, this cure for the plague is indeed conceived by Childe!" ”
"Uh, Xiaolan, listen, they said that method was really devised by Childe! That fool is finally healed......" The girl said excitedly when she heard this.
When Mi Tong heard this, he was only more surprised, and secretly sighed how this girl could be like this. I saw that the maid named Xiaolan heard this, and she had to show helplessness, and then said: "Yes, yes, okay, okay; Public...... Miss, let's go back! ”
But the girl continued, "No! I'm going to Chu to find him......" As he spoke, he was going to run in the direction of Danyang in Chu State.
"Well, princess, we can't go to Chudu like this......" the maid had to shout behind her.
"Poof!" When they heard this, they were all more astonished. There is no need to guess, this girl must be the princess of Gu Guo - Gu Xueqi. Mi Tong didn't expect that this girl was the princess of the Gu Kingdom who fell into the Danjiang River with him when he was a child, but he really had no impression of this princess of the Chu State at all. I had to shake my head and say loudly: "Well, I heard that our son of Chu Guotong has left Danyang, the capital of Chu......"
Hearing this, Gu Xueqi stopped, slowly turned around, and asked, "That's ...... Where has he been......"
"This ...... I don't know, I only know that he has left Chudu Danyang, presumably in a few days, you will confirm that my news is absolutely reliable. Mi Tong said lightly, showing a faint smile, then immediately turned around, waved the horsewhip, and led everyone to gallop in the direction of Jingshan with a "driving" sound.
Only the two princesses of the valley country were left, standing there in confusion!
