Chapter 68: The Song of Sorrow
Wang Xi suddenly realized when he heard this: no wonder his cockfighting is all in the other party's calculations, he never expected that the eight-foot cockfighting platform would be so treacherous, and ghost tricks came out one after another! Turning his head to find Shi Kaiquan, Shi Kaiquan has already oiled the soles of his feet, and he slipped away!
The face of Tang Thorn Shi, who had been exposed, had turned into a purple eggplant skin, and the sharp and disdainful gazes of everyone made him shrug his shoulders and shrink his head, hurriedly got into the sedan chair, and left in embarrassment.
Lu Yiding snorted at Wang Xi and Wu Laoqi twice, and tears flowed for a long time: "Wang Langjun and Uncle Wu repay their grievances with virtue, making the villain ashamed, what face does the villain have to live in the world?" ”
After finishing speaking, he crashed headlong into the stone base of the cockfighting platform. said that it was too late, it was too fast, Wu Laoqi grabbed him with a pair of iron hands, and said earnestly: "Lu Housheng, if you commit suicide, you must have the heart to turn back." The prodigal son doesn't change his money! Now there is just one less chicken herd in the palace, and your ability to train cockfighting is not inferior to mine, I don't know what you think? ”
Listening to the sound of gongs and drums, listening to the words, Wang Xi was shocked: "Senior Wu, you ......"
Wu Lao Qi smiled: "There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed. The little old man is used to being romantic, although he has been treated well by his son this year, he is extremely restrained in his heart! Today is the time for you and me to break up! ”
"This ...... What do you mean by that? Wang Xi said in a trembling voice.
"Do you remember the old housekeeper Liu Laozhong?" Wu Laoqi's face became solemn: "Two years ago, he couldn't bear the defeat of the Liu family at your hands, so he went to great lengths to find me, and begged me to pull you in the cockfighting arena to save the three treasures of the Liu family." The little old man has never entered the door of wealth and nobility, and rejected him in one bite, but he didn't think that he would hang himself in front of my house for the second time, begging for death! Such a loyal and righteous person can't help but be disagreed! After Xiao Lao'er buried Liu Laozhong on the bank of the Ying River, he came to this cockfighting platform......"
When Wang Xi heard this, he was stunned, and two long tears crawled down from his eyes.
"Liu Gongzi, Xiao Lao'er will send you two more sentences: cockfighting can be raised and fought, it is just a leisure and fun, but you must not gamble, a bet will fall into the bottomless abyss. I hope you are so self-sufficient! ”
After speaking, he put away the dry tobacco pouch and left.
Wang Xi, who woke up from a big dream, suddenly faced south, pounced, and fell to his knees: "Uncle Zhong, I won't gamble anymore......"
……
Just when Li Tao was fascinated by watching the cockfight, Yuan and Pei Yue ushered in an uninvited guest.
"See the Crown Princess!" The person who came was a gray-clothed man in his thirties, with a haggard face.
"You were sent by King Xiang, but what credentials do you have?" Yuanshi looked at the visitor suspiciously.
"Sad songs can be used as weeping, and distant looks can be angelica. I miss my hometown and am depressed.
If you want to return home, there is no one to cross the river. The mind cannot be spoken, and the wheel of the intestine turns. ”
"I believe you, what letter does King Xiang have?" Yuan said calmly.
Before parting, the husband had agreed with the Yuan family that the incident was unpredictable, and if someone was sent to find her mother and son in the future, he would use this "Tragic Song" of Han Yuefu as the basis, and those who did not have it should never be trusted. Since the martyrdom of her husband, the Yuan family thought that no one would come to look for her. Unexpectedly, some people thought that they had come to report the news, presumably because the husband entrusted the king to take care of their mother and son before his death.
"Wei Shi learned that the crown princess and His Royal Highness were hidden in Luzhou, and he has sent someone from the palace to collect it! The king ordered the villain to come to report the news in the starry night, and Webster's people arrived in three days at the latest! ”
Wei is the empress of Li Xian of Tang Zhongzong, and she is the mother-in-law of Yuan.
After the restoration of Zhongzong, every time he came to the court, Empress Wei sat on the palace with a curtain and heard about political affairs. Wei colluded with Wu Sansi and others who were good at government affairs, and framed and persecuted Zhang Cambodia, Jinghui and other heroes who supported the restoration of Zhongzong. connived at her daughter Princess Anle to sell her official beard, and wantonly built temples and Taoist temples. Yuan's husband, Prince Li Chongjun, was not born to Wei's family, and Princess Anle and her husband Wu Chongxun often insulted Chongjun and instigated Zhongzong to abolish the crown prince and make her the crown princess. In addition, Wei wanted to punish King Xiang and Princess Taiping, Chongjun was very unhappy, so he mobilized part of the Yulin army to kill Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun, and plotted to punish Empress Wei and Princess Anle, due to the failure of the coup, Chongjun committed suicide.
Now, Webster has learned the traces of Yuan and Li Tao, how can he not kill them all?
Yuan frowned and asked, "How did Wei know where our mother and son were?" ”
"It is said that Lu Shicai, a member of the Ministry of Rites, leaked his words after drinking!"
"This son should be punished!" Pei Yue said angrily.
"Time, life!" The Yuan family sighed and said, "The slave family has thanked King Xiang and the strong man here!" The mission of the strong man has ended, so go back and return to your life quickly! ”
The man in gray laughed miserably: "The king has been kind to me, and he has promised to support my old mother!" Today is the time for me to repay my kindness! Crown Princess, take care all the way! ”
After that, the man in gray bit his tongue and committed suicide.
"What a husband!" Pei Yue couldn't help but be moved.
"Uncle Yue, bury the strong man!" Yuan Shi Feng said with pity.
……
"What? Leaving here? ”
After returning from the trip, Li Tao was in a really good mood. Finally untied the knot, Li Tao decided to start from scratch and live his wonderful life in Datang. But before he had time to be happy, Yuan's words confused Li Tao.
"Auntie! Can you tell me why? Li Tao said.
"Tao'er, the enemy family has found our place to live, so we can only leave this place for refuge!" Yuan patiently explained to Li Tao.
"Enemy?"
Li Tao has always been carefree, but he didn't expect that he would have an enemy now. Looking at the worried looks of the Yuan family and Pei Yue, Li Tao knew that what A-Niang said was true.
"Auntie, Uncle Yue! What the hell is going on? You don't have to hide it from me, just tell me! ”
Yuan and Pei Yue glanced at each other: "That's it, Tao'er, you are not small, I will inform you of this matter!" Your father's name is Lee Chong-jun......"
Listening to Yuan's story, Li Tao was stunned again.
Li Tao thought that he was just an ordinary person, and he could spend his life in obscurity when he arrived in the Tang Dynasty, but who knew that he still had a bizarre life experience: Ah Weng was Li Xian, the emperor of Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, and his father was the former crown prince Li Chongjun. His father committed suicide because of his unsuccessful plot against Queen Wei, and his mother, the crown princess Yuan, took her to Shucheng. Now, the whereabouts of the mother and son have been leaked, and Merriam-Webster has sent people to arrest them.
"A-Niang, where are we going to go?"
"Luzhou Changzi County!"
"When to go!"
"Tonight!"
Li Tao thought for a moment and said to Yuan's family: "Ah Niang, I have a reluctant request!" ”
"Tao'er, you say!"
"A-Niang, I want to say goodbye to Jiurou! All right? ”
Yuan felt a little embarrassed, even if he was fleeing, he should flee quietly, if this is known, I am afraid ......
Li Tao saw the hesitation on Yuan's face, and resolutely said: "Ah Niang, Tao Er and Jiu Lang are brothers, and they may never see each other if they say goodbye today, if they don't say goodbye, they will definitely be at ease in the future." A-Niang, I know the importance of it, just say goodbye, and never reveal where I go! Please, A-Niang! ”
"Mastermother, the little master values love and righteousness, just let him go" Pei Yue persuaded on the side.
