Jiankang City

Halfway through August, the sun is still hot and shiny, the homeless people outside the city have long since disappeared, and everyone's face is full of smiles, which is the joy after the rebellion has subsided, and it is also the cornerstone of the continued prosperity of this imperial capital.

On the wide road, people come and go, horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, pedestrians, bustling through it, some entering the city, some leaving the city, and hundreds of steps outside the city gate, the servants of the Xie Mansion and several servants of the Xie Mansion stood under the big tree, as if waiting for something.

Xie Tang was wearing a black and green civilian clothes, fanning a fan, his face was full of joy, standing next to him, it was Wang Liu, the son of the Wang family, and Wang Yu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate wearing an official uniform!

Wang Yu's identity is to convey that General Zhengnan has entered the palace, which is not an errand for him, but it is indeed within the scope of his jurisdiction, so because of his position, he passed the news and welcomed this young general, killing two birds with one stone, why not.

Yesterday, I had to report that the team of General Zhengnan would return today, so all the people waited here.

"Brother Jing Heng, in less than three months, Yu Wa'er broke the thief leader Sun En, Xu Daofu, and made a statement far away, which is really gratifying!" Wang Yu talked with Xie Yu with a smile, and when he was not in the court, he called each other's words, which was also an affirmation of intimacy.

Xie Tang turned his head and said with a smile in his eyes: "Brother Shuhong is smiling, what is the reputation of fame, I'm afraid that the third brother will pick up a cheap one by mistake, hahaha." The modest statement was accompanied by laughter, and the heart was actually already happy.

Wang Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "A humble gentleman is really a villain, Brother Jing Heng is really a good performer." ”

Of course Xie Tang doesn't care about this kind of ridicule, the two are about the same age, they belong to the world, and they are officials in the same dynasty, so the two mansions move around so closely, so naturally it is just a joke between friends.

Wang Liu touched the nephrite jade on his waist, but his heart was full of jealousy, his father Wang Xun passed away, and his eldest brother Wang Hong held a funeral, and he was recommended by the Xie family as a straight and scattered horseman, belonging to the province of Menxia, and his brother Wang Yu was an official, this official position also belonged to the holy ministers, and he was taken care of by his brother, but if he was compared with Xie Yu, it would be a world of difference.

This little luck that grew up with him since he was a child is too good, and he was recommended to serve the imperial history, also known as the right middle general, the death of General Wei became a springboard for his promotion, and he didn't know how many years he had to stay up to climb up, and now, the official positions of the two people are very different, and they returned to the dynasty with great merit, and tomorrow they will go to the court, there will be a reward, and they will immediately throw him out of the eighteen alleys, this is really more people than people, and they are angry.

Watching Wang Yu talking to Xie Yu, hearing this, he became even more uncomfortable, and couldn't help thinking in his heart, how to overshadow Xie Yu.

Everyone waited patiently, and after half an hour, they saw the smoke and dust billowing on the road from the south, and dozens of cavalry pillars were divided into two teams in front of them with banners hunting and hunting, majestic and murderous, and the people on the road had already been emptied, and hundreds of foot soldiers stood on both sides of the road in a neat and orderly manner.

"What kind of general is this, so majestic, look, it's really heroic to sit on a horse." Passers-by asked the people watching the excitement next to them.

"Oh, you dirt bun, don't you see Xie on the flag? This is the return of General Zhengnan, I know no, it is General Xie Yuxie, who exterminated Sun En's anti-thief, I heard that this year is still the year of the spoon! (under the age of sixteen)", the people who watched the excitement introduced.

"But the grandson of Lord Taibao?" The passerby asked with respect on his face.

The people looked disdainful and said with reverence: "I really don't know Mount Tai with eyes, hey~ The world is going down!" ”

“”

Xie Yu's return made the people happy, simple and sincere, although they also resented the tyranny of the imperial court, and the harsh taxes made them miserable, but to survive was better than anything else.

Wave after wave of cheers spread outside the city, inside the city, and throughout the entire Jiankang.

Xie Yu wore a battle armor, turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists with both hands and saluted these kind people in return, this modesty, this easy-going temperament suddenly caused countless girls to scream, and the petals were overwhelmingly sprinkled, as if entering an environment full of flowers, trampling on the soft ground, his heart, can't help but be proud of the people living in the world, no matter how chaotic the world is, he can always smile strongly, no matter how dark this dynasty is, or tirelessly move forward, it is these people who make us Han people stand at the top of the nationIt is these people who have created all kinds of legends in the entire history of China.

Under the shade of the tree, all the Xie family members are feeling the pride of belonging to the family and the glory of the Xie family.

Xie Yu came to the big tree with a smile in his eyes, and said to Xie Yu, Wang Yu, and Wang Liu: "I've seen the second brother, Lord Shilang, haha, Brother Ning An!" After speaking, he stepped forward and hugged Wang Liu and patted him on the back.

This laughter, full of sincerity, full of joy when friends meet, hugging him in the hearty style of a martial artist, patting him, this is a deep friendship, words and actions, will make the people around feel this different emotion.

Wang Liu was embraced, the jealousy in his heart disappeared in an instant, his two hands were raised mechanically, and he also patted the broad back of this brother of the opposite sex who was like a sibling, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Xie Yu let go of Wang Liu, turned around and grimaced at Xie Yu, opened his hands and said, "Second brother~, hug!" ”

"Hahahaha!" "Even if you are famous all over the world, you are still a haired boy when you return home!" Wang Yu said with a smile.

Xie Yu was already informal, picked up Xie Yu, turned around, put down and laughed: "The third brother is heavy, and this temperament has also changed!" ”

"How has it changed?" Xie Yu said.

Xie Tang scratched his chin with his hand, and circled around the third brother with a smile and said, "More murderous!" ”

Wang Yu also echoed: "Indeed, the tiger is mighty." ”

Xie Yu was also pretending, raising his hands and shoulders in circles.

Wang Yu couldn't help but wave his hand to stop, and said with a serious expression: "Okay, the dignified general Zhengnan, so ungraceful, let people see it, isn't it a joke." ”

Xie Yu bowed and arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan Meng Lang~, Lord Shilang doesn't want to ask the saint for a copy!" ”

"Hahaha." Wang Yu smiled and said, "Okay, there is a metaphor on the saint, and I will go to court tomorrow morning." ”

"Command!" Xie Yu was bowing.

Under the leadership of Xie Ju, the southern army marched towards the soldier's village, and everyone entered Wuyi Lane with a smile under the escort of the city guard, Wang Yu arrived in front of the mansion, dragged Xie Yu and whispered: "Talk about Ziyun Tower at night!" After speaking, he followed Wang Liu into the palace.

Seeing the two brothers returning home, Xie Tang couldn't help but say as he walked: "Can you catch Zhang Meng?" ”

Xie Yu nodded and said, "I cut off one of his arms in the fight." ”

"Do you want to bring the court with you tomorrow?"

Xie Yu couldn't help but hesitate a little, Zhang Meng, a bitch breed, had been raising him for nothing these days, and he didn't even go to see it, so he confessed that it was assigned by Sima Yuanxian, and if he was brought to the court, he would be taken to prison by this general under the pretext of being taken to prison, and then die inexplicably.

"Second brother, I want to bring him to my cousin to dispose of!" Xie Yu still couldn't say it in the end, although he knew that the second brother would definitely keep his mouth shut, but this hatred would eventually be revealed, and now, it was not the time to tear his face with Sima Yuanxian, after all, Xie Fu did not have the ability to fight against this royal family in the court.

Xie Tang nodded, shook his head again, and said, "No, since you bring it back alive, you have to hand it over to the imperial court for disposal." ”

Xie Yu couldn't help but burst out of his eyes and said, "Then let him not survive tonight." ”

When he said this, the murderous aura on his body burst out, and the frightened servants of the Xie family retreated one by one, and the stuffy air seemed to cool down.

Xie Tang was also surprised, and felt something, so he reached out and grabbed the third brother's shoulder and said softly: "It's suffering!" ”

He can imagine the scene of more than 10,000 people dealing with nearly 100,000 Sun Enxu Dao's rebellion and thieves, this third brother made such achievements at a young age, who dares to underestimate the sadness of the payment, who can know, only he can understand.

Xie Yu was stunned to hear the words of the second brother, and his heart was indeed as uncomfortable as blocking a boulder, he knew that the second brother felt the murderous aura he exuded, in this murderous aura, there was resentment towards the court, resentment towards Sima Yuanxian, anger towards the thief, and feelings for the loss of his uncle, no matter what kind of thoughts, only he could understand.

Entering the mansion gate, all the servants bowed down to greet their Ninth Young Master, no matter what the official was doing, in their minds, he was still the amiable and polite Ninth Young Master.

When Xie Yu entered the mansion, he looked around, looking back and forth, Xie Yu couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter, if you don't come back for a few months, what are you looking at, are you a stranger to home?" ”

"No, what about this kid?"

Xie Tang suddenly said: "Just say what to see?" This nephew was born idle, made friends, and was away all day, and he did not see him for several days. ”

"Really? Looks like he's pretty idle. Xie Yu quipped.

"Third brother, this rebellion has a lot of credit, and the reward from the Holy Lord's side is naturally not small, but don't be proud, there is no one in your eyes." Xie Tang finally expressed the worry in his heart, for fear that he would be young and frivolous and arrogant.

Xie Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Thank you second brother for mentioning that these anti-thieves have a low combat power, if someone on the island hadn't woken up, the success or failure of the thieves this time would be confusing, and they would not have been arrogant." ”

Xie Tang nodded, and secretly praised this third brother for being measured, so he didn't say much.

In fact, Xie Yu is very clear, the combat power of the southern army is still a scum, but when it comes to the time, people, luck is more than strength, if compared with the Beifu army and the army of the king of Chu, it is simply vulnerable, and there is such a powerful Wei State on the north bank, as well as small countries scattered everywhere, countering the rebellion, it is just more experience, and it is really not on the table.

Taipei County was founded, whether their ideals can be realized, on this Yizhou Island, all of them are doing innovative moves in this era, not to mention that there are so many soldiers who can go smoothly, there is no shortage of big clans among the more than 200,000 people, once these people have a chance to breathe, they will be obstructed from the implementation of those decrees, so we must find a suitable excuse, to be stationed in the south, the most able to hide people's ears and eyes is through the name of anti-thieves, and these anti-thieves have to be made by themselves, and what drives them is Xu Yanzhi.

The familiar bluestone moon gate comes into view, this is the small courtyard where the mother lives alone, there is warmth, comfort, warmth, attachment, this door does not know how many times to enter and exit, or makes people nostalgic, this! It's a home away from home.

Xie Tang patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "Go, mother has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Isn't the second brother going?" Xie Yu suddenly felt a sense of apprehension, like a wanderer who had been away for several years suddenly returned home, with a kind of timidity and hesitation.

This is not unfamiliar, the oppression in the bloody rain and bloody wind will make it difficult for people to be quiet, and the nerves that have been tensed for several days will collapse under the silent warmth, the ancients only thought that the mind was not strong, in fact, this is the weakness after the strong, and the sinking after the killing.

"Go, don't be nervous, mother thinks Buddha all day long, prays for you, for us, for the whole family, and will drive away your murderous aura." Xie Tang didn't understand, his eyes were full of encouragement.

Xie Yu took a long breath, it was indeed a flower in front of him, it was not that he was not strong, it was not that he was weak, in front of his mother, he didn't need to be strong at all, he didn't need to be weak, even if you were a coward who was spurned by others, a villain who was despised, in that warm embrace, you would always be supported and comforted.

Stretched out his hand to wipe his uncompetitive eyes, smiled at the second brother, a smile appeared on his face, and he entered the moon gate and walked towards the house.

Xie Tang only felt that his nose was sour, and he had an inexplicable melancholy, this is the feeling that blood is thicker than water, and everything is constantly cut.

Ziyue's face was full of joy, standing in front of the house, an emerald green skirt was like a beautiful landscape painting, dignified and elegant, and the double flat bun hanging down like a waterfall reflected the beautiful posture, and it really couldn't hide the faint sorrow in her eyes.

The rough hand caressed the white face, Xie Yu smiled and said, "The young master is back." ”

Ziyue didn't care about the eyes of the maids and servants around her, and put her hands on the young master's hands, and she couldn't pretend to be there, and tears rolled down.

Xie Yu gently wiped away her tears, her smile remained unchanged, she didn't say a word, and stepped over the threshold and entered the house.

Ziyue followed in, picking up the teacup and brewing the tea leaves.

Mother closed her eyes and sat quietly on the new-style chair turning Buddha beads, her right arm was on the square table, and she muttered words in her mouth, Xie Yu saw the new furniture in the home, and couldn't help but sigh that this thing has changed, and the case that has been used for hundreds of years, the soft couch, and finally eliminated in the long river of history, undoubtedly, this is the progress he brings.

Xie Yu stepped forward and bowed his hands deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, the child is back!" ”

After speaking, kneel on the ground and kowtow.

The eldest lady slowly opened her eyes, and her kind face stretched and said, "It's good to come back, get up and sit over there!" ”

Xie Yu got up and sat on the chair below, looking carefully, after a few months, his mother seemed to be old again, countless black hair was white, and his face was not as ruddy as at first, and there were more scars of the years.

"Mother, are you not feeling well?" Xie Yu asked with concern.

The eldest lady shook her head, although her expression did not change, her eyes would never deceive, there was too much joy in it, too much care.

"I'm old, my body is weak, San Lang is good outside!"
