The snowflakes are like palms that are hard to cover their eyes, and the wind is like a knife that keeps worrying.

"It's snowing in April, it's rare in years, is there something big going to happen?"

On the side of the avenue near the city gates, the oil seller put his hands in his sleeves and stomped his feet gently, creaking the thick snow. Looking up at the still hazy sky, Yecheng was covered in silver overnight, and he sighed in a low voice.

At this time, it was still early, and there were few pedestrians on the road, all of whom were low-level people running for life.

"Ah, look, isn't that Da Sima? How did he become like this? ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

The crowd stopped and began to talk in a chaotic and noisy manner. The oil seller stood on tiptoe to follow the prestige, and his cloudy eyes were surprised and worried.

Three men dressed in sackcloth, with their hands tied, walked slowly towards the city.

The man among them was about 30 years old, with a long and well-proportioned body, and his appearance was fair and handsome, which made countless women ashamed and jealous. It's just that at this time, he was dressed in thin linen clothes, his face was blank, his eyes were blank, he was pulling a pair of straw sandals on his feet, and he was walking stiffly and staggeringly step by step.

On the right hand side of the man, followed by a beautiful young woman, twenty years old, with a slender figure and an elegant face, but at this time, her eyes were red, and she was crying silently, with a sad face, which made people feel heartache and pity.

The other was a young man, twelve or thirteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome. Although his face was sad and angry, there was no trace of sadness in his eyes, but he turned around with a grunt, showing a distressed and helpless expression, his lips moved, and the oil seller was a little far away, but he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Hey, what a bad idea I have! On such a cold day, I came out wearing a ragged single coat, with neither demeanor nor temperature! Cushman & Wakefield, you dead perverted, stinky, unlucky kid, if it weren't for you, how could I suffer this kind of sin? O God, Allah, hack to death the scourge of that day, so that my cheap daddy will not have to die, and I will not have to suffer this inhuman torture. The boy's mouth was babbling.

"Xing'er, what's wrong with you? Is it frozen? The young woman asked, bowing her head and sobbing.

The young man replied, "Mother, you are worried, the child is fine." It's all to blame for the carefree son of heaven, which caused our family to be scared and suffer alive. His tone was low and resentful.

The man's expression was still blank, silent, his eyes were empty, and he walked forward stiffly and mechanically.

The snow on the ground was too thick, reaching no ankles, the young man's body was a little weak, and he was not very attentive when he walked.

"Bah, baa, bastard, look at the good things you've done! gave me a famous father, but he was a father who was dying, you could have died a few years earlier! The boy got up from the ground, spat out the snow foam from his mouth, and cursed in a low voice of resentment.

He called him happy, but he was very unhappy at this time, and he couldn't be happy. Because his father is the king of Lanling, and now the great Sima Gao Changgong of the Northern Qi Empire is respected in the Northern Qi Dynasty. However, the ending of the prestige is that the merit is high, and it will not die well.

Happy, he was a member of the national dragon group, but the night before yesterday he caught up with the tide of crossing, and came to the Northern Qi in 573 A.D. at the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

When he first woke up, he was really happy to know that he was really happy after crossing over, jumping three feet high, looking forward to it for more than ten years, waking up to take charge of the world, and the ideal of drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman was realized, how could he not be excited.

But he soon became unhappy, why? His father, Gao Changgong, was about to die, because of his high merit, he was given death by the queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty. And as the son of Gao Changgong, how can he survive? What's more, there is a terrible enemy in the west, the great emperor Yang Jian, the cowman who treats his son very harshly, will annex the Qi State in the near future, and as a descendant of the Gao family, his fate is worrying.

Therefore, when I was happy to see the cheap daddy Gao Changgong, the first thing I said was "Dad, run away, Cushman & Wakefield will kill you!" ”

This sentence shocked Gao Changgong as if he was struck by lightning, and he was stunned on the spot, so frightened that the happy mother Zheng almost fainted on the spot.

Compared to Zheng's worry that he was sick and burned out his brain, Gao Changgong was much calmer. He knew his own situation very well, and Cushman had long known that he wanted to kill him. For so many years, he has endured everywhere, been cautious, and walked on thin ice, he had long thought that there would be this day, but he didn't expect that the joy of being only thirteen years old could be seen.

Happy thought that Gao Changgong didn't believe it, so he swore and said: "In May, Gao Wei will sneak to kill you!" ”

Gao Changgong asked, "How do you know?" ”

He happily replied, "Grandfather dreamed." ”

Then Xing analyzed the situation and Gao Wei's cautious eyes and cruel and perverted surname, and came to the conclusion that Gao Wei would kill Gao Changgong. Since then, Gao Changgong has been convinced of what he said about Xingxing.

Although Gao Changgong knew that the situation was critical, there was nothing he could do. In the past, he defiled himself with greed for money and bribes, pretended to be sick at home, and wanted to resign but was not allowed, but he was still suspicious of the queen.

Happy is now very depressed, very, very. Although the idea of a family of three to tie themselves up and ask for guilt was put forward by him, where did he think that God would open his eyes so much, and such a crazy snow would come in April.

Finally, under the eyes of thousands of onlookers and people, the happy family of three finally came to the gate of the Northern Qi Palace.

Gao Changgong took the princess Zheng and the prince happily knelt in front of the palace gate respectfully, and shouted sadly: "The criminal minister Gao Changgong has come to ask the emperor for his guilt." ”

The officers and soldiers defending the city were startled, and they didn't know why, and they didn't dare to persuade Gao Changgong to get up, so they pulled out their legs and went to pay a respect. Gao Changgong's clothes were very thin, his face was blue and white, and there were ice slags hanging on his beard. If the prince froze to death at the door, it would not only be a joke for the Northern Qi royal family, but they, the gatekeepers, would be responsible.

"Ahem", Zheng coughed violently, and his body trembled.

"Mother, it's all a bad idea from a child, and you've suffered!" Frowning happily and worriedly, he looked at Zheng apologetically, took off a Buddha pendant from his chest, and gently put it on for Zheng.

Zheng shook his head with difficulty, and looked at Gao Changgong sadly and affectionately: "If your father and son die, what is the point of your mother living alone?" If the sky has no eyes, our family will go to Huangquan together, and there will be a good response on the road. ”

"Mother."

"Ma'am." Xing Xing and Gao Changgong shouted emotionally, but they didn't know what to say, they only felt that the cold wind didn't seem to be so violent, their eyes were hazy, and their hearts were hot.

After a short time, Zheng's face was actually much better, she looked happy in surprise, and was about to ask a question, when she heard someone shouting: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Whether it is the onlookers or the soldiers who defend the city, they all bow to the ground, and the mountains shout long live.

"No courtesy."

When he looked at it secretly, he saw a handsome young man wearing a dragon robe inside and a thick and luxurious fur on the outside, surrounded by dozens of palace people, walking towards the three of them.

"The guilty minister Gao Changgong and his wife hereby ask Your Majesty for their guilt, and ask Your Majesty to put us to death in the ancestral temple." Gao Chang knelt respectfully on the ground and pleaded sincerely.

Gao Wei said puzzledly: "Gao Xiaojun, what crime are you asking for?" He wished that Gao Changgong would die in his heart, but so many people watched, and now that Nan Chen had come to attack, if he did this, wouldn't it make the army's heart turbulent?

Gao Changgong didn't get up either, and cried: "Last night, my father, Emperor Wenxiang, made a dream, angrily accused the criminal ministers of being disloyal and unfilial, disrespectful to Your Majesty, and didn't know how to kill to serve the country to resist foreign insults, but only knew how to be greedy for money and bribes, greedy for life and afraid of death. It is the shame of the Gao clan to say that the guilty minister wants to be removed. The guilty minister was terrified, and begged His Majesty to put the guilty minister's family to death in the ancestral temple, and wash away the shame of the ancestor with our blood. Your Majesty, the minister only wants to die quickly! ”

When Gao Wei heard this, he was happy in his heart and said, "Since it is the order of Emperor Wenxiang, can I not obey?" From now on, Gao Changgong will be removed from the royal family and given the surname Zheng. Remembering that you are the bloodline of the first emperor, and you have made a lot of great contributions, so you are removed from the post of Great Sima, demoted to Xuyi County, and commanded the military and political affairs of Xuyi County. ”

"Your Majesty, you are so magnanimous, and the sinners are grateful!" Gao Changgong cried and kept bowing, happy to thank Zheng as well.

When Gao Wei left for a while, he got up from the ground happily and was about to call Gao Changgong to get up, only to find that the latter had passed out, his limbs were stiff, and his body was hot, but he was really sick.

Happy and Zheng were in a hurry, but fortunately there were kind people to help, so they carried Gao Changgong back to the palace. Warm bath, looking for Langzhong, after a lot of tossing, Gao Changgong was able to save his life, but he was still unconscious.

After helping Zheng to rest, he returned to his room happily and sat on the Hu bed quietly thinking about the way out in the future.

Although Gao Changgong was expelled from the Gao clan and the prince's official position was dismissed, he was happy to believe that Gao Wei was still a little suspicious of him. Anyway, this will buy some time for a while, and it will be possible to mediate through it.

Sighing, shaking his head happily, except for shoes and socks, he sat cross-legged on the couch, put on a posture of five hearts to the sky, and began to cultivate.

In this turbulent era and crisis-ridden era, in a country where human life is like a mustard, only strong strength is the capital for survival.

The practice of happy cultivation is called "The Secret of Longevity", which he obtained by chance, and at the same time obtained half a Buddha statue pendant. The golden pendant, made of unknown materials, is soft and warm to the touch, exuding a faint sense of peace, which makes people's hearts calm and calm, and it is very beneficial when cultivating.

To the surprise of joy, the Buddha pendant seemed to have passed through with him, and he actually became whole. There seems to be some strange energy in it, and cultivation is twice the result with half the effort. And it's good for the body, if it weren't for it during the day, how could Zheng's weak body withstand such a cold.

The sky finally cleared, and the warm sun shone on the joy. Happy slowly opened his eyes, like lacquered eyes, like a deep pool of ancient wells, calm and waveless, moist and bright. After a night of cultivation, it not only did not get tired in the slightest, but was full of energy.

When I went out, I gently stretched my lower limbs, felt a lot of strength in my body, and my happy face was full of satisfied smiles.

When Xing Xing went to visit Gao Changgong, Zheng was already on the side of the couch, and after such a change, how could she sleep peacefully and come early.

"Mother, let's pack up our things and leave today!" Said happily.

"But your father ......" Zheng looked at the couch with red eyes.

Gao Changgong was still asleep, his brows were tightly locked, his lips were chapped, his face was still a little red, and there was faint sweat on his forehead.

Happy sighed and cursed in his heart: "Damn Cushman & Wakefield, damn weather!" He said helplessly: "But the Holy Lord has already decreed, if we don't leave Yecheng quickly, I'm afraid something will happen again." ”

Zheng's tears flowed down his eyes and he nodded silently.

Happy grabbed her somewhat cold hand and comforted: "Mother, don't worry, everything has children!" With that, he walked out of the door.
