Looking at his father who was lying on the bed, Rao is Jiang Du used to boast that he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, but at this moment, his eyes were red and his heart was full of grief.

No one expected everything to come so quickly, and before his uncle Jiang Hui was degraded, he only had time to use means to beat a few people who were originally attached to the flames and now avoided like snakes and scorpions into Jiang henchmen attached to his father, and he didn't even have a chance to see whether these people would be demoted and dismissed, let alone meet his father, so he was demoted to Sima of Chūn Prefecture, and he immediately hit the road.

Chūn Prefecture is far away in Guangdong, this road is far away from the mountains and highlands, and my father's depreciation is even farther away in Qinzhou, Guangxi, which is far more of a wild land than Chūn Prefecture. What's more, how can my father, who is already fifty miles away, survive after receiving such sixty rods?

Uncle Jiang Hui was worried that the younger generations would stay in Luoyang and be plotted, so most of them were quietly transferred to his uncle's maiden house, and now the huge Chu State Duke Jiang Mansion is now only his monk who is sick, and most of the other servants are kept, but the atmosphere in the whole house has been extremely low. If it weren't for the fact that his cousin Li Linfu had been here with him for the rest of the past two days, except for the official office, he would probably have been unable to persevere no matter how tenacious his nerves were

"Four...... Lang ......"

Hearing this extremely low voice, Jiang Du was stunned at first, and saw that his father who was lying on the bed finally woke up, and opened his eyes slightly at this moment, he hurriedly moved forward and grabbed his father's hand tightly. At this time, Li Linfu also hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed, and said softly: "Uncle, Shiro is here, we are all here." ”

Jiang Jiao glanced at Jiang Du with cloudy eyes, but then his gaze stayed on Li Linfu for a long time, and then he said in a vague voice: "How many days has it been?" ”

"Grandpa was sent back yesterday." Jiang Du replied in a very low voice.

"I see" Thinking of the words that Shi Youyou said fearlessly when the Tsing Yi Ling Shi was fighting the cane yesterday, Jiang Jiao tried his best to put the almost suffocating pain on his back behind him, and asked word by word, "How is the situation outside now?" Don't lie to me, be honest. ”

When Jiang Du was hesitating, Li Linfu knew this uncle's xìng character better than Jiang Du, and hurriedly whispered: "Uncle, the little uncle was demoted to Sima of Chūn Prefecture, Liu Chengzu was assigned to Leizhou, and many other people suffered from the pond fish. Seeing that Jiang Jiao was not moved when he heard this, even if he was sweating profusely, he was still staring at himself, his heart moved, and he said in a low voice, "However, Du Shiyi, who had been demoted to join the army in Hengzhou Province because of the sealing of the book, was suddenly called by the sage, and then he actually withdrew his life, and he still picked up the left of the sect province." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Jiao's eyes suddenly revealed a glimmer of divine light. He bit the tip of his tongue hard, and then he resisted the grogginess in his mind, and then asked: "Can you explain when you send me back, how many days will you leave for Qinzhou?" ”

Li Linfu glanced at Jiang Du, and seeing that his cousin still didn't speak, he continued to explain in a more transgressive manner: "After Uncle Rì was sent back yesterday, it was said that he was going to leave within three days. It's just that the uncle is seriously injured now, if he can, it is better to fight for a grace period, since the saint can change his mind and forgive Du Jiulang, he will not be able to kill his uncle, not to mention, now that it has been several days since the incident, the saint was initially angry, but now that he thinks about it carefully, will he not be able to figure out that his uncle has been calculated? ”

"The only thing a saint doesn't do is admit that he's wrong."

Jiang Jiao's words were not only heard clearly by Li Linfu, but also by Jiang Du, the two cousins glanced at each other, and their faces showed expressions of surprise, and then Li Linfu frowned thoughtfully, while Jiang Du secretly clenched his fists.

At this time, Jiang Jiao reluctantly explained: "Bixia is lenient to Du Jiulang, because he is a minister, and his duty lies, and if he is lenient, he can appear more humble and tolerant." As for me...... Sixty rods have already been taken, and if you suddenly forgive and forgive again, it will be a reversal."

"Uncle is right." Li Linfu suddenly woke up, and his face was extremely ugly for a while, "Then can't you even set off on the road for a few days."

"Nope." Jiang Jiao spit out these two words with difficulty, and Jiang Du on the side saw that the beads of sweat on his father's forehead were rolling down in large pieces, so he hurriedly wrung a towel to wipe it off for him. Stimulated by the cold feeling, Jiang Jiaofang regained some strength and consciousness, and commanded in a low voice, "Just set off according to the deadline, use the carriage, and then travel thirty miles......

"Grandpa" Jiang Du was shocked and angry for a while, "The doctor came to see your injury before, and said that there were several canes that injured your lungs, and if you are so strong on the road, I am afraid it will ......"

"Death is death, and at this point, do you still expect me to live?"

Jiang Jiao smiled sadly, and immediately showed a resolute expression on his face: "You don't know how ruthless the heart of a saint is. Otherwise, how could he say that he would die if he was like Liu Youqiu? Confidant is like Zhang said, how can you say that it is depreciated? And those who used to assist in the speech, how many died, you may forget. I am just an idle person, but I think I am a confidant, and I deserve to remember this calamity, and I will go as much as I should after I set off, but never go more. Don't look for any useless doctors, if you can't hold it anywhere, you will immediately order someone to report the funeral to the eastern capital

Jiang Du almost couldn't believe his ears, but in the face of Jiang Jiao's eyes, he couldn't say a word. Although Li Linfu has always been a nominal official rank since he joined the office, and has never experienced a real position, his mind is much more resolute, and after gasping, he suddenly realized, and immediately nodded without hesitation: "I understand what my uncle said, and I will leave this matter to me, although everyone now avoids the Jiang family like a snake and scorpion, but if it is ...... at that time, Yurong and I are a little sure that I can say that I can move, not to mention that although Yuan Weng is not very reliable, just reporting the funeral will not stop him from pushing back."

Hearing that Jiang Jiao and Li Linfu's uncle and nephew were talking so nakedly, Jiang Du only felt that the whole person was like falling into an ice cellar. But after a while, he felt a huge force in his hand, and when he looked at his father again, he found that Jiang Jiao's face had turned red: "Shiro, Brother Nu is older than you, and he understands the world better than you, so please ask him for more advice on everything after you rì." On this journey, you will walk with me. If it comes to me, in case Bixia can really still have compassion and compassion, let you hand over the coffin and return to your hometown, you must remember to find a few pickers, if you can ask Du Jiulang to write an epitaph for me. Don't say too much good words, but the book is over, not the work. Remember, it must be so, the harem concubine, don't go back and forth again. ”

When it came to the end, his father thought of Zuihou, Jiang Du couldn't help but feel very gloomy in his heart, and nodded after a long time. And Li Linfu couldn't help but be humble when he heard that his uncle asked Jiang Du to ask him more about everything, but seeing that Jiang Jiao obviously didn't want to listen to this, he immediately agreed to take care of his aunt and cousins. After Jiang Jiao gave a few words again, he saw that he seemed to be exhausted, and was about to ask him to live and recuperate, but he didn't want Jiang Jiao to suddenly whisper: "Shiro go out first, I have something to tell your cousin." ”

Seeing Jiang Du leave in amazement, Li Linfu knelt down in front of the couch and asked in a low voice, "What does my uncle want to tell me?" ”

"Brother Nu, Shiro, or the other children of the Jiang family, none of them can bend and stretch, and Jīng Ming is stronger. Concubine Hui has suffered a huge loss both inside and outside the palace, and the Jiang family is no longer done, but you can still give Concubine Hui charcoal in the snow. Remember, don't be as flamboyant as me and your aunt did at the beginning, and do things secretly......" Jiang Jiao opened his mouth and whispered a few unknown names to Li Linfu, and when he saw his nephew repeating it with a brilliant face, he smiled with relief, "I shouldn't have taken the path of Xingchen, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." You are much more productive than your uncle, and I will entrust them to you. ”

In the past, the palace maids, famous horses, and rare ...... in the palace But whatever Jiang Jiao fancies, Li Longji will give it without hesitation, even the grass and trees in the palace. However, now that I saw the sin rod and punishment in the past, when a carriage of more than a dozen family members slowly came out of Jiang's mansion and left the eastern capital through the city gate, it was almost impossible to see the people who saw them off. Most of the people who are familiar with each other sent Cheng Yi as soon as possible, and there are also a few people who are afraid of things and they don't see it, and there is no courtesy, Jiang Du, who accompanied him on the side of the carriage, walked on the official road, and he only felt that his heart was full and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or disappointed.

When there was a sound of galloping horses' hooves in his ears, he didn't look back at all, until he heard someone tear open his throat and shout: "Jiang Si"

Stunned, he turned back to see two horses galloping almost in parallel, followed by several servants. As the person approached only one or twenty steps away, he immediately recognized who the person behind Cui Jianxuan was, and after being shocked, he didn't have time to give any orders, so he hurriedly turned his horse to meet him. When they met, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "At most, others will send Cheng Yi and hide, and the two of you are not afraid of causing trouble to the family."

"What are you afraid of, the polo field was seized and stopped by the Henan Prefecture before, Dou Shilang directly transferred everything to me, plus you, now I am the sole operator and one person is in charge, I am afraid of a bird?" Cui Jianxuan snorted coldly angrily, then looked at the carriage that also stopped on the side, and asked in a low voice, "Is Chu Guogong okay?" ”

"Probably can't hold out to Qinzhou." Although these words came out of the mouth of his son, he was inevitably sad and gloomy, but Jiang Du still told the truth in the face of these two people who came to see him off, "I can't say whether it can be supported until it goes out of Henan Mansion." ”

"Then you still ......"

Cui Jianxuan was taken aback, and when he was about to shout, he was stopped by a gesture from Du Shiyi. Du Shiyi, who took a step forward on the horse, glanced at the simply decorated carriage, he only had to imagine a little to know how bumpy it would be to sit in the carriage, plus Jiang Jiao, who was fifty miles away, must have been seriously injured after passing through the sixty rods, he immediately understood that what Jiang Du said was true. Thinking that Jiang Jiao didn't ask for forgiveness or other forgiveness this time, he vaguely guessed the decision of this Duke of Chu, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"The Duke of Chu is really hard working...... Jiang Si, be careful on the way here. If there is anything, just send a letter to Guandefang. It's a pity that you can't come to Cui Shiyi and her sister's wedding. ”

"Look at me so dizzy, I actually forgot that you are the one who is going to get married, alas, you can't even make your appearance" Jiang Du patted his head in annoyance, and when he saw Cui Jianxuan's words stopped, he smiled, "It's just that you are more beautiful than the bride, don't make people laugh when you look back, I don't have anything to give you as a congratulatory gift at the moment, you can keep this jade pendant"

Tearing off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and stuffing it into Cui Jianxuan's hand without saying anything, he said meaningfully: "I'll come back after rì, and then exchange this jade pendant with a suitable gift."
