Chapter 63: The Old Lady is gone
The fine sand in the hourglass has finally been drained, and the hour has finally arrived.
A poignant smile had already floated at the corner of Chen Yuanyuan's mouth, and finally looked back at the outside of the tent, and slowly lay down in the coffin, his slender hands were relaxed, the jade bottle containing peacock gall had been raised high, and the bright red lips coated with cinnabar had been slightly opened...... Xianggong, don't go too far, the slave family is looking for you.
"Yuanyuan, don't!"
Wang Pu's voice suddenly sounded faintly outside the tent, Chen Yuanyuan instinctively turned over and sat up, and then looked back at the tent as fast as possible, but soon, the hope in her beautiful eyes dissipated like fireworks, and there was not even half a figure outside the tent, hallucination, this is just an illusion.
"Ugh."
Chen Yuanyuan sighed faintly, lay down in the coffin again, and raised the jade bottle again.
"Yuanyuan, don't!"
Wang Pu's voice sounded outside the tent again, but this time Chen Yuanyuan didn't sit up again, but thought sadly in his heart, this must be Xianggong's soul coming, calling her on the road together, Chen Yuanyuan believes that she can see Wang Pu as long as she drinks the peacock gall in the bottle, and then she can be with him forever.
Chen Yuanyuan slowly opened his small mouth and slowly tilted the jade bottle.
Seeing that the peacock bile in the jade bottle was about to pour into Chen Yuanyuan's mouth, a big hand suddenly appeared in the air, grabbed Chen Yuanyuan's wrist, and shook it again, the jade bottle in Chen Yuanyuan's hand had already flown out, fell to the ground and shattered, and the peacock gall in the bottle flowed to the ground.
"Yuanyuan, you are so stupid!"
A familiar voice and a familiar face suddenly appeared on his head, but Chen Yuanyuan still couldn't believe it, just looked at Wang Pu with a pulse, and asked stupidly: "Xianggong, is the slave family dead?" Otherwise, how can you see your soul? Xianggong, is it really your soul back? ”
"Silly girl." Wang Pu's heart was sour, he actually shed two tears, pulled Chen Yuanyuan's delicate body out of the coffin with a strong pull of his right hand, and reached out to pick it up, leaning against Chen Yuanyuan's ear and whispering, "Silly girl, Xianggong is not dead, you are not dead, we are still alive and well." ”
"We're not dead?" Chen Yuanyuan's beautiful eyes regained some vitality, "Really not dead?" ”
Wang Pu leaned over to Chen Yuanyuan's face and sighed softly, "Is Xianggong's tone hot?" Only the breath of a living person is hot. ”
"Xianggong." Chen Yuanyuan finally believed that he and Wang Pu were still alive, and suddenly opened his arms and hugged Wang Pu's neck hard, and said sadly, "Don't separate the slave family from you, don't ......"
"If we don't separate, we will never be separated." Wang Pu hugged Chen Yuanyuan's delicate body hard, eager to fuse the bodies of the two together, and said emotionally, "Yuanyuan, Xianggong promised you that we will never be separated." ”
■■■
Inside Yanjing City.
Scarface, Xiao Qi, the bearded man who had just been released, and more than a dozen other family members were surrounding Zhen Youcai and slowly rushing to the camp outside the city, anyway, Wang Pu had already ridden back on a fast horse, it didn't matter if they hurried or not, whether Chen Yuanyuan was dead or alive could only depend on the will of heaven.
When the group walked to Dongzhi Gate, Xiao Qi suddenly sighed, pointed to the front and shouted, "Isn't that a pillar?" ”
Scarface and the family looked in the direction of Xiao Qi's finger, and a famous young man was sitting on the tea stall on the side of the road, the man was dressed in green clothes and wearing a small hat, and at first glance he was a member of a large family, and he was carrying a bulging bag on his shoulder, and his face was full of servant dust.
"What a pillar!" Scarface shouted, "Pillar, why did you come to Yanjing?" ”
At this time, the young man also heard the movement and turned around, and shouted at a glance: "Xiao Qi, Scarface!" ”
Xiao Qi came forward with all the family members and asked in surprise: "Zhuzi, you are not in Datong, why are you here to run the Beijing Division?" ”
Zhuzi stood up and said gloomily: "The old lady is gone, I am here to report the funeral of the third master." ”
"Huh? The old lady is gone? ”
"yes." Zhu Zi said gloomily, "The last time the Jingshi sent to Datong Mansion said that the third master led the troops to Liaodong, and there was no news for more than a month, I don't know who had more words to let the old lady know, the old lady fell ill in a hurry, and the uncle invited all the famous doctors in Datong Mansion to be cured...... On the night when the old lady was gone, the news of the third master's victorious return reached Datong Mansion, alas, it was just one step away. ”
"Ouch." Zhen Youcai suddenly clapped his hands vigorously and shouted, "Okay! ”
"Who are you?" Hearing this, the pillar was furious and said, "How do you speak? ”
"Uh......" Zhen Youcai suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to be disrespectful to the old lady, but the old lady abandoned the world at this time sooner rather than later, it can be seen that this is God's will, and God wants to save the general." ”
"Mr. Zhen, have I confused you?" Xiao Qi scratched his head and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"What do you mean?" Zhen Youcai said with a smile, "In a few days, the general will be able to return to Datong." ”
"Little Seven." Zhu Zi shouted, "You better take me to see the third master quickly." ”
■■■
Xiao Qi, Scarface When they returned to the camp with the pillar, Wang Pu was furious, and when he looked up and saw everyone coming in, he immediately shouted: "Xiao Qi, you came just in time." ”
Xiao Qizhan trembled into the tent and asked in a low voice, "General, what's wrong?" ”
"What's wrong?" Wang Pu said angrily, "What's wrong with you? Why is there only 300,000 left of 500,000 taels of silver? Where did the other 200,000 taels go, you tell me what's going on? Do you know that these silver taels have to be transported back to Datong, and they are all pensions for the fallen brothers! ”
"This ......"
Xiao Qi was speechless, and could only look back at Zhen Youcai.
Zhen Youcai bent down and entered the tent, and said to Wang Pu: "General, Xiao Qi is not to blame for this, it is all the villain's idea. ”
Wang Pu was stunned and said, "Your idea? ”
"Yes, it's the villain's idea." Zhen Youcai nodded and said, "In order to dredge up the relationship for the general, the villain took it upon himself to pay 200,000 taels of silver from the account, of which 50,000 taels were used to deal with Zhou Guozhang, 50,000 taels were used to deal with Uncle Tian Guo, and the remaining 100,000 taels were all used to deal with the prince-in-law." ”
"You...... You're a loser. Wang Pu said bitterly, "Even if you want to do something, you don't need so much, right?" Just take the meaning of ten thousand children and eight thousand, where can you use so much? ”
Zhen Youcai smiled bitterly: "The general doesn't know, the threshold of the Guozhang Mansion and the Guoshu's Mansion is very high, and you can't get in without 50,000 taels of silver, and as for the princess, the threshold is even higher, besides, the general, this money is all outside the body, as long as the general can keep his surname, the money is not much." ”
"That's right." Wang Pu nodded and said to Xiao Qi, "In this way, tomorrow you will bring some people to take the ginseng, Dongzhu, gold, animal skins and other things in the camp to the city and sell them, and you can almost collect more than one million taels, and after returning to Datong, you will first use this silver to give pensions to the brothers who died in battle." ”
"Third Master." The pillar that followed the one had a chance to come forward and speak, "The old lady is gone." ”
"Old lady?" Wang Pu asked casually, "Which old lady?" ”
"Uh......" Zhu Zi said in amazement, "Of course the old lady is the third master, your old lady." ”
"My old lady?" Wang Pu was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, "Oh, you mean my father, what's wrong with my father?" ”
The pillar said gloomily: "The old lady is gone." ”
"This ......" Wang Pu wanted to cry twice, but he couldn't squeeze out tears, so he had to wave his hand and say, "You all go out, General Ben wants to stay alone." ”
