Chapter 19: Fighting in the Wind and Waves
"So, Xiansi has decided to be on his brother's side?" Lime smiled and became serious, "The news of the death of the Xiao family's father and son spread surprisingly quickly, and the hearts of the people of Suyan were unexpectedly united. Creating public opinion is to build momentum for the army, and when the people's hearts are wanted, it is the day of the army, am I right? In this frenzy of public opinion, Xiansi has also made a lot of efforts. ”
"Fang Hantian is a genius, but his heart is not in the community. Since he ascended the throne, the eunuchs were in power, and the party struggle was fierce, although it has not hurt the foundation of the country, but in the long run, it will become a catastrophe, which is Su Yan's internal worries. Half of the Shuochu royal family withered, the imperial power was aside, and the emperor had the heart to hoe and rape, but the strength was weak, and he had lived on the sickbed for a long time, and he was powerless. The regent monopolizes the power, and has been looking at Su Yan for a long time, and now it is at the time of Su Yan's internal troubles, Shuo Chu is disturbing at the border, and his heart is self-evident, this is Su Yan's external trouble. If you don't get rid of internal worries, how can you retreat from external troubles? Jin Yue is very obsessed, I can't stop it, and I can't stay out of it, I can only join it, do my best for the people, and live up to the people calling me 'Traceless Son'. The tea was cold, Liu Wuxian didn't notice it at all, his eyes were deep, but there was a little sadness.
"Xiansi, you treat your brother's affection, lime remembers, and the grass ring, you must repay it." Lime Road.
"Even if you have to pay it back, you shouldn't pay it back. In this life, if we are destined to become close friends, we should rely on each other and trust each other. Although Liu Wuxian smiled, his eyes were full of sadness, and the last sentence was more like saying to himself, "Who told me to meet him?" ”
"My brother can be a close friend and complement each other, so I can leave with peace of mind." Lime Road.
"Where are you going?" Liu Wuxian was slightly stunned, and then asked.
"After so many years of persistent pursuit of the truth, the moment I found my brother, it became less important." Lime said softly, "Now that the flowers have invaded my heart, I don't have many days to live." I realized that in my short life, I was obsessed with the obsession in my heart, and I didn't even take a good look at the world. Strange to say, it is only when life is short that one remembers that there are many things that he has not done. When Uncle Xiao and his second brother are in peace, I will try to have a good chat with my brother. After that, I want to go out for a walk, visit the famous mountains and rivers, to experience the customs and customs, to feel the beauty of the world I live in, so that I will not come to this world in vain. ”
"If you want to go, go away, away from this place that is about to become a battlefield, and it's good to go out for a walk." Liu Wuxian agreed.
"Xiansi, after I leave, take care of my brother for me." Lime Road.
"Don't worry, I've got everything here." Liu Wuxian nodded, and then instructed, "Before the effect of the Life Renewal Pill wears off, you must come back." ”
"Hmm." Lime nodded.
Lime spent the last seven days and nights for the father and son.
Since the death of Guogong, the lantern has been burning for a full 7749 days.
Today, August 27, the father and son of the country were funeral and buried in the cemetery.
The whole city was vegetarian, and the people saw each other off, looking sad, and after welcoming the coffin of the father and son, they consciously followed the team to see off the father and son.
By the time I arrived at the Xiao Family Cemetery, the funeral procession had become extremely long.
In the end, because of the importance of the cemetery, ordinary people were not allowed to enter, and the people left one after another.
There are many customs and etiquette for burial, and everyone is so busy that they forget the time.
By the end, it was nearly dusk.
Back at Xiao Mansion, the sun had set, and the sky was gradually darkening. Everyone was tired after a busy day, and after eating, they turned off the lights early and went to sleep.
The lights in the Xiao Mansion gradually went out, and the Xiao Mansion immediately fell into a silent night, only the study was still lit, and it was bright.
The constantly beating light is like a restless heart, unwilling to be quiet, it beats, beats, I don't know whose eyes are shaking, whose heart is disturbed.
Lime carried the lamp and stood alone in front of the study, not moving for a long time.
Inside was the family affection she had longed for for a long time, but she didn't dare to push open the door.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the evening breeze has cooled.
Lime carried the lamp, looking a little thin in the cold wind.
She finally moved lightly, came to the door of the study, placed the lamp in her hand on the lampstand by the door, and stretched out her hand to push the door open.
He sat in front of Dongfang's bookcase in black, holding his forehead with one hand, his brows furrowed.
When the door sounded, he raised his eyes carelessly, but the moment he saw the lime, his face was shocked.
He got up and straightened his shirt, his clumsy movements looking a little overwhelmed.
He didn't expect her to come to him on her own initiative, he wasn't prepared at all.
Watching his clumsy moves, Lime's heart suddenly warmed, "Brother." Lime shouted.
Xiao Shizhi looked at her, his eyes flickered slightly, he had imagined countless times that she would look like when she grew up, she must be a beautiful woman in the city.
But she is more beautiful than she imagined, and she is also thin and weak when she is used to describe her as a sinking fish and a goose, and a shy flower in the closed moon.
He got up and walked briskly towards her, but when he approached her, he hesitated, "Slim, your body ......"
"It's all right." Seeing that he had stopped, Lime understood in his heart, so he took a few steps forward and took the initiative to approach him.
"That's fine, that's fine." The approach of the lime made Xiao Shizhi suddenly become more nervous and at a loss.
"Brother, let's sit down and talk." Seeing that he was very nervous, Lime quietly stepped back a little, giving him space and time to get used to himself. Inadvertently seeing the tea set on the table, she raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile, "I remember that in the capital, the fragrance of tea in the Aoge has lasted for a long time, and it is very intoxicating, brother, can you make a cup of tea for me?" ”
"Okay, Xian Xian wants to taste tea, and my brother will cook it for you." Xiao Shizhi replied, he came to the tea table and started to prepare to make tea.
Lime followed behind, sat aside, supported her head with her hands, and quietly looked at her brother who was focusing on making tea, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, this was the first time she looked at him so carefully.
The elder brother was born just right, combining the advantages of his father and the queen mother, as tall and mighty as his father but not rough, and as feminine and handsome as his mother, without losing his masculinity.
He made tea skillfully, as if it had been boiled a thousand times.
After a while, the fragrance of tea overflows and is intoxicating. Lime closes her eyes and feels the pleasant aroma of tea, which is a rich and refreshing feeling.
"It's the snow green of the mountains." Lime slowly opened her eyes and said firmly.
"Hmm." Xiao Shizhi nodded, looking at the lime with doting eyes, after boiling tea for a long time, he finally calmed down and adjusted his mood.
He poured a cup for her, held the bottom of the cup with his left hand, and slightly supported the wall of the cup with his right hand, and brought it to her steadily, and said softly, "Xian Xian, the first time you drink the tea made by your brother, how does it taste compared to others?" ”
Lime held the cup in her hand, first looked at its color, and smelled its fragrance, she looked at the three or two young leaves suspended in the cup, and said with a slight smile, "The buds and leaves are in flowers, slim and graceful in the cup; The fragrance is mellow, leisurely and unhurried, and it is tempting to go deep into the best environment. The tea brewed by my brother, whether it is tea or skill, is excellent. ”
"What if you are disappointed by such praise before you enter the mouth?" Xiao Shizhi said with a smile.
"I drank my brother's tea, and although I was wary at that time, the tea was a little colder, but it still had a fragrant taste and a good charm. Today, my brother specially made tea for me, how could he disappoint me. As he spoke, the lime held the teacup to his lips and took a shallow sip, the taste really made people intoxicated as if they had drunk wine, and their lips and teeth were fragrant.
"The uninvited guest that night was really you." Listening to Lime's words, Xiao Shizhi's face stiffened slightly, and then returned to his original state, and he asked, "Xian Xian, the sword you used that night is not ordinary. What is your connection to the blue wolf? ”
"Brother, can you answer me a question first?" Lime Road.
"Well, you ask." Xiao Shizhi nodded.
"Brother, Su Yan seems to be calm, but in fact, she is in danger of internal and external troubles. If you raise an army at this time, Shuo Chu will definitely seize the opportunity and deal a fatal blow to Su Yan. Lime asked, a little worried in her tone, "Brother, what are your plans?" ”
"My brother won't raise troops, but he's waiting for an opportunity." Xiao Shizhi smiled and added tea to the lime, "You can say such a thing, my brother is very pleased, my palace is really backbone." ”
Lime asked suspiciously, "Is it really not a soldier?" So what about creating public opinion among the people? ”
"My brother doesn't have soldiers, but he can still pocket Su Yan's thousands of miles of rivers." Xiao Shizhi poured himself a cup of tea, looked at Lime's puzzled eyes, and said, "Fang Han has no children under his knees, and the two brothers are only Fang Mu, the king of leisure, who is quite an emperor, but Fang Mu is a sick man. King Xuan's road is arrogant and lascivious, arrogant and domineering, oppresses the people, and does all kinds of evil, and he has long been a disaster. If Fang Han abdicates, Su Yan's government and opposition will definitely set off a storm and fight in the wind and waves, and the chances of winning will naturally be a few points higher. ”
