Chapter Twenty-Five: The flowers bloom on the Mo, and they can return slowly
After the marriage of the general's princess, the general did not enjoy the joy of the newlywed as the people of the world saw. Instead, he asked the emperor to lead troops to the battle, and the world was in chaos.
It turned out that ten days after the deputy general said goodbye, Gao Zhan was ready to rush back to his hometown to pick up his old father and mother and his original wife.
When everything was ready, Gao Zhan received a report from his loyal subordinates, and the princess knew about these requests, in order to make Gao Zhan die to stay by her side, she wanted to be unfavorable to his original family and let him have no reason to leave.
Gao Zhan was shocked, and immediately burst into tears, thinking that he had not brought glory and wealth to his wife, but he would invite unprovoked trouble.
After thinking about it, Gao Zhan had no choice but to ask the Emperor of Great Xia for war, so that the emperor could have some scruples, and at the same time, he could also protect his wife and children at home.
In the following ten years, Gao Zhan pacified the surrounding area of the Xia Dynasty, making the Xia Dynasty famous in the West and becoming one of the several major countries in the surrounding area. At this time, Gao Zhan no longer cared about the interference of the emperor and the princess, and resolutely took off his armor, did not return to the Imperial Capital, and went straight to his hometown.
Gao Zhan left his hometown to conquer the world, fifteen years have passed, the child is sixteen years old, he is excited, more remorse and guilt. It's really like that sentence of homesickness, and I don't dare to ask anyone.
When Gao Zhan returned to the original border town, he found that this city had become a famous and wealthy place in the country under his prestige, and then he thought that his wife and children and parents should not be too bad, so he was a little relieved.
But what awaits him is that the ancestral house is in ruins, and its surroundings are even more desolate, with the occasional pedestrian coming, which is very rare for a prosperous city.
Back then, Gao Zhan listened to the adjutant general's narration, and then ordered someone to buy back the ancestral house, arrange his wife, children and parents to go back to live, and at the same time arrange family guards openly and secretly, so as to protect the integrity of the family.
Facing the scene in front of him, Gao Zhan was immediately furious, and at the same time anxious, no wonder he had not received a letter from his hometown in the past two years, he thought that his battlefield was too far away, and the messenger could not find the location of the barracks, and he never imagined that there would be such a scene at home.
He immediately sent his men to inquire what had happened here and why the General's ancestral mansion had become in ruins.
Soon after, his subordinates came to report that the general's ancestral house was haunted two years ago, and everyone in the house died tragically overnight, and at the same time, the adjutant general's family was also in this mansion that night, and they were unfortunately killed.
Of course, Gao Zhan didn't believe this set of words, in fact, he was also a delicate person, and he already had the answer in his heart, but he couldn't explain it in public.
Sure enough, an old neighbor on the opposite side of the old house recognized Gao Zhan and secretly told Gao Zhan one night that two years ago, nobles in the capital often came to the door, and at first they would bring all kinds of gifts and etiquette, and wanted to take Gao Zhan's parents to live in the capital, but his parents did not agree.
Until one day, after the noble man came out of Gao Zhan's hometown in anger, he never appeared again, and then later, there was a disaster in his ancestral home.
At that time, the old neighbor was awakened by the sound of the dying adjutant general banging on the door, and told him that if Gao Zhan came back, he must tell Gao Zhan about tonight, and the main messenger behind the scenes, the current emperor, told him to be careful.
It turned out that two years ago, after Gao Zhan destroyed several small countries around him, his achievements were high.
Both the princess and the emperor were worried that he would return to the court, so they would not return to the capital, because they both knew that Gao Zhan's heart was still difficult to miss his original wife Jinniang.
The princess is also rude and willful, thinking that there is no reason for her to be abandoned, and the emperor also listens to slander, and will initially invite Gao Zhan's family to live in the capital with courtesy, so as to control Gao Zhan's parents, wife and children in their hands to balance Gao Zhan.
Later, she was rejected again and again, and the princess kept making noise in her ears, so the mediocre emperor also did not stop doing anything, slaughtered Gao Zhan's family, and killed the people concerned, and then released the word in the city that the ancestral house was haunted, and at the same time arranged for spies to stay nearby, once there was any trouble, it could be avoided from being killed.
After Gao Zhan figured out the cause and effect of the matter, he thought of the letter his wife gave him two years ago: General, Mo Shanghua is blooming, and he can return slowly. He can think of Xianshu's wife for so many years, thinking about him day and night, but still thinking about him, let him complete the dream in his heart and then slowly return to his hometown, not let him be distracted and worried, and then think of his ruthlessness and coldness at the beginning, he suddenly burst into tears, he couldn't think that this delay was a lifetime, how could he not let his heart mourn.
Thinking of his father and elders in the family, as well as the deputy general and a group of relatives and friends, Gao Zhan sighed deeply.
In the end, the general turned white overnight, and the tears never stopped all night.
Since ancient times, beauties sighed in the twilight, and heroes were not allowed to see white heads. The general died at night, and there were no flowers blooming again.
The general fought for ten years, shedding blood without tears, but Gao Zhan at this time could no longer control it.
Although Gao Zhan already knew the general idea in his heart, after hearing the words of his old neighbor, he finally became angry in his heart, and evil was born to the side of his guts. Originally, he just wanted to be a famous general and be known to the world, but now that the emperor is so mediocre, there is no need to stay.
So the Xia Dynasty rose again, and in less than a year, the Xia Dynasty perished, but Gao Zhan was disheartened.
The generals supported Gao Zhan to ascend the throne and Gao Zhan to the throne of God, but he did not have the heart to enjoy this great river and mountain, and he was depressed all day long.
One day, Gao Zhan was told by the eunuchs in the palace that he found an ancient scroll that recorded the theory of reincarnation, which may allow him to look for immortals in order to look forward to the next life and make up for the regrets in his heart.
So he ordered people to search for the cultivators' immortal family everywhere, but there were too few Westerner cultivators, and it was difficult for mortals to cross continents to other regions, and there was no news.
Later, one day, Gao Zhanwei went out to patrol the capital, climbed the city wall, and drank and thought about people alone.
At this time, at the foot of the city wall, a large wave of people flocked out, ecstatic. At the same time, he also saw that there were ministers in the crowd, and the generals sent troops to open the way, but they did not embarrass the people, but only allowed him to run towards a place faster.
Gao Zhan watched from the top of the city, frowned, called his entourage, and asked what was going on and what was attracting them in front of him.
The entourage is Gao Zhan's personal guard, and he rarely goes out of the palace, so he doesn't know the reason, so he went to find the soldiers at the city gate, but when he went down to the city tower, where could he see any soldiers, even the people nearby could not see one, and there was a scene near the whole city gate where the chickens and dogs did not hear it, and there was only a scene of silence, which was "fast, fast, fast...".
But those people went fast and returned faster, but when they came back, they all hung their heads and looked disappointed.
Gao Zhan stood at the head of the city and could see clearly, so he was even more curious.
He didn't care to punish the soldiers at the city gate for their dereliction of duty, so he called him to be upright, revealed his identity, and asked him what happened to him, how such a thing could happen at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and how many ministers of the court and the central government were involved.
When Shouzheng saw that the person in front of him was actually the current emperor, he thought of his dereliction of duty just now, his legs were weak and trembling, and he didn't know how to speak.
"I forgive you for your innocence, and tell you the truth. Gao Zhan said to him.
Over the years, Gao Zhan's heart has long been filled with remorse, and in the face of anything, he will be calm and will not be like back then.
"Your Majesty, they are all heading for the Ten Mile Pavilion in front of them. Shouzheng said tremblingly, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"There's something good there, how can it attract so many people to run wildly. ”
"A man appeared there. ”
"Who?"
"A Taoist leader. ”
"So what?"
"The Taoist chief has begun to accept disciples, and will answer a question from those who are destined. ”
"Where did this Taoist priest come from?"
"The Taoist is the chief of the Dao, and some people also call the Taoist of the Tuition Fee. ”
"Tuition?" Gao Zhan wondered.
"That is, the bondage. ”
"Interesting. So why are you back again?"
"The Taoist said that our tuition fees were not enough, that is, we were not bound enough, and we were not destined to be sent away. ”
"This bastard has openly bewitched me to the people and take me to see it. ”
"Your Majesty is angry, the Taoist is not an ordinary person, and it is not appropriate to treat each other with ordinary courtesy. ”
"Walking. ”
"Your Majesty, please come back tomorrow. ”
“......”
“......”
"Bold, upright, do you know who you're talking to?" Gao Zhan didn't speak, he just felt that this upright was also a wonderful person, but the entourage around him had to reprimand.
"Why?" asked Gao Zhan.
"The Taoist is no longer known at this time. ”
"Then come back tomorrow and find it?"
The Taoist said that the tuition fees had not yet been paid and he could not leave. Therefore, the minion thinks that the Taoist will still appear in the Ten Mile Pavilion tomorrow, and it has been the same in the past. ”
"Interesting, tomorrow I will meet this poor man. ”
