338, untie the knot and set out together
After the news of the Xu family's rebellion came that day, Xiao Yue immediately sent Jinyi guards to surround the Zhongyi Mansion.
No one in the Xu family in Beijing escaped, including Xu Bin, or rather, he didn't flee.
Later, Lin Yi said to Jiang Xuan that it seemed that when Jinyiwei went, others occasionally resisted, but Xu Bin did not have the slightest sign of escaping.
Standing in the middle of the house, tied up, as if waiting for them to arrive.
This was Jiang Xuan's first time in Jinyiwei's prison, and he walked through the long corridor to the place where Xu Bin was held.
Xu Bin sat in the corner, his body was scarred, the corners of his lips hung from the corners of his mouth, his clothes were torn, his head was stained with some dirt, his hands were heavily shackled, his legs were crossed, he was sitting on a messy mass of straw, his eyes closed.
The expression was simply calm.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was Jiang Xuan, his eyes lit up slightly, he looked down at the clothes on his body, and moved his body, a little cramped.
Seeing that the jailer was about to open the door of the cell, he shouted in a dumb voice, "Don't open the door, please talk to the criminal outside the door." ”
The jailer who was about to open the door immediately scolded angrily when he heard this, but was stopped by Jiang Xuan, "You retreat first, I'll talk to Xu Shizi." ”
The jailer glanced at Xu Bin hatefully, and now the Xu family has become a rat crossing the street, and everyone can spit on it.
Jiang Xuan stood outside the cell, "Xu Shizi, I don't know what you are looking for me?" ”
Her tone was cold and her words were straight, and Xu Bin listened to it, and his heart ached slightly.
He just wanted to see her, and he didn't have hope, but he didn't expect her to really come.
He looked at Jiang Xuan quietly with a little greedy eyes.
"Cousin......," he called in a harsh voice.
Jiang Xuan frowned slightly, and was about to answer.
But I heard Xu Bin say again as if laughing at himself, "The Emperor Taishang should be very good to you, give the concubine to death for you and throw him into the mass grave, he will naturally be very good to you." ”
Jiang Xuan smiled faintly, "Xu Shizi has a heart, and my husband is naturally very good to me, but today Shizi invited me over, not to say this, right?" ”
She didn't know what to think, her heart moved slightly, and she asked, "Xu Shizi, do you know Murong Han?" ”
Xu Bin was shocked, his eyes tightened, and then he looked relieved, and said with a wry smile,
"You're so smart, how can you hide those things, yes, I know him, and I know his past with you......"
Jiang Xuan took advantage of the situation and asked, "Do Murong Han know about the affairs of your Xu family?" Your family has been planning for so many years, and Ah Furong has already entered the Dongli Dynasty, and Murong will not be enough to see a prince......"
Xu Bin's body shook almost imperceptibly, he bit his bloody lip, and said for a long time,
"Although Murong Han and I know each other, he doesn't know what Murong will do, so you don't have to doubt him."
He was silent for a while, and then whispered, "I know that you have always been smart and resourceful, if you are a man, you can pass through the world, but you are a woman after all, there are some things that you still don't know, even if you know, you should not know." ”
Jiang Xuan smiled, as if he didn't know? How can it be?
Not to mention anything else, the Xu family's introduction of hibiscus ointment is against the peace of heaven.
"I don't know what you called me for, but I want to ask you, how did the Xu family know that Ah Hibiscus Paste can control people's spirits?"
Xu Bin pursed his lips and didn't speak, he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry for what my grandfather did......"
Such a sentence made Jiang Xuan's emotions suddenly explode, and she said excitedly,
"Do you know how many people that thing has harmed? For the selfish interests of your Xu family, you have dragged so many people into fire and water.
Have you ever seen what happens to people who are addicted to it? Do you know that once a person is dyed, he will never be able to get rid of this shadow for the rest of his life?
Not only himself, but the whole family, the whole family, and even his offspring, will have problems.
Once a woman is infected, the children she gives birth to are all defective, for the sake of your Xu family's ambitions, do you want to destroy the entire Dongli Dynasty?
And then, what did you get? What's wrong with this court? The emperor on the throne is brutal? Or is it mediocre?
The emperor of the three dynasties, which one is not conscientious, diligent in handling the government and the people? ”
Speaking of excitement, Jiang Xuan's eyes were a little red, and the information of later generations was developed, so she had really seen too many things that were ruined because of the addict's family.
Fortunately, in this era, transportation is not developed, and propaganda is not developed, and the spread of hibiscus paste is not so rapid, and only a small number of people are infected.
Xu Bin was silent, he knew, of course he knew, but there was nothing he could do.
"Those officials in the imperial court, of course, are corrupt, but more are innocent, because your grandfather wants to control them and let them get infected with that thing.
On the day of exposure, did you know that the crying on the hunting ground never stopped? The mother cries for her children, the husband cries for her mother, and the children cry for their parents. ”
Jiang Xuan's voice trembled, "I didn't have to die so many people, I didn't have to die so many people......"
She leaned against the pillar of her cell, staring blankly at the void.
She was suddenly able to understand why Lin Yi wanted to go to the front line.
Many of the courtiers who were dealt with were also promoted by him, just like the generals who were killed by the Xu family.
They may have a good future, but because of the hibiscus anointing, they are all ruined, and there is no future.
Xu Bin was speechless, his heart was sad, of course he knew this, and even his family, how many sins he had done in this matter.
Therefore, he wanted Jiang Xuan at that time, but he didn't dare to ask for it, he watched from afar.
He even wanted to escape, to escape the responsibility of being a member of the Xu family.
He wants to be a person who is black and white, and he wants to be a person who dares to love and hate, but for the sake of his family, he can't be willful, so he can only carry a heavy burden forward.
"Xu Bin, you just returned to Beijing on the front foot, and your grandfather launched a rebellion on the back foot, of course, to take advantage of my wedding with the Emperor Taishang, there is a loophole to exploit.
But in the same way, I gave up on you.
If he takes a fancy to you, why would he let you go back to Beijing to die? Will he not know that you will be arrested when you return to Beijing?
I know that you still have a conscience and justice in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have secretly helped me when my father was imprisoned......"
"No, you're wrong, I helped you just because I like you, and it has nothing to do with conscience and justice, how can you expect the people of the Xu family to have these things?"
Jiang Xuan's heart trembled when she heard this, she knew that Xu Bin had some feelings for her, but he never said it positively, and she only pretended not to know.
"You go, let you come here, it was my mistake." Xu Bin turned his back and said no more.
The tall and lonely back disappeared into the lonely darkness.
Jiang Xuan finally said, "Xu Bin, if you are willing to cooperate with the imperial court, I am willing to help you intercede." ”
Maybe this seems weak, but Jiang Xuan still wants to make one last effort.
Xu Bin didn't seem to hear it, seeing him like this, Jiang Xuan didn't say anything, but turned around and walked out of the prison.
The sound of her footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor, and Xu Bin in the prison slowly turned around.
He smiled bitterly, what Jiang Xuan said, how could he not know?
Grandfather let him enter Beijing, just to cover up, he knew that someone in Jinyiwei was peeping in secret, in order to paralyze the secret agent, he deliberately let him enter Beijing, and when the time comes, the secret agent will definitely have to separate people to monitor him, and the people around his grandfather will naturally be less, and it will be easier to get into trouble.
He could have escaped, but he didn't, and in this world, where can he escape? Grandfather there?
The Xu family has many children and grandchildren, not more than him, and less than him.
He is already an outcast.
When he got home, Lin Yi was already waiting for her, probably knowing that she was angry, and because she was about to go on an expedition, he tried to come back as soon as possible.
"What is Xu Bin looking for you?" Lin Yi sat on the side and asked Jiang Xuan, who was drinking hot soup.
Jiang Xuan glanced at him, "I don't know, he didn't say it." ”
Lin Yi just smiled gently.
"The Emperor's hands and eyes are all over the sky." Jiang Xuan put down the soup bowl in his hand and looked up at him, not to mention any look on his face,
"I'm afraid you already know that Xu Bin once admired me, maybe, he wants to see me today, probably just to see me."
Jiang Xuan said these words angrily, although she could understand Lin Yi's heart of wanting to go on the expedition, but she couldn't understand why he insisted on not taking her there.
During this time, both were in the Cold War.
"That's nothing, just see it, he's just seeing, you can only belong to me." Lin Yi said lightly.
Jiang Xuan asked again, "Are you so sure?" ”
Lin Yi was still laughing, but he paused for a long time, so long that Jiang Xuan thought he was angry, her words could indeed provoke a man's anger.
"Either way, you'll only be mine."
"I would love to lock you up and keep them from coveting you, but I also know that your life is free.
Besides, who is the man in the world who is as good as me? ”
When Jiang Xuan heard this, he was very shocked in his heart.
I really didn't expect Lin Yi to be so cheeky.
But she felt her heart beating a little hard......
Lin Yi was going to go on the expedition, and the Queen Mother naturally knew about it, and she almost fainted from crying.
After crying, she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "Go, go, it's just that you have to take care of yourself." ”
"Don't forget that your mother and your daughter-in-law are waiting for you to come back in the capital......"
Lin Yi glanced at Jiang Xuan, who was comforting the Empress Dowager on the side, and had mixed feelings in his heart.
In fact, Lin Yi's expedition is imperative, and now the hearts of the people in the capital are floating, and the Xu family's pretense is so good, the will of the first emperor, whether it is Lin Yi or Xiao Yue, has become a thief.
In order to fight for this breath, the people of the Xu family must also be beaten down, but now that the Xu family army has joined the Heavenly Master Sect, it is even more invincible.
All the way to the capital.
This time, not only Lin Yi went, but Jiang Chong would also go on the expedition with Lin Yi, accompanied by several generals in the court.
As the night deepened, Lin Yi returned to the mansion after discussing military affairs with everyone.
As he walked, he was still a little hesitant in his heart, not knowing if Jiang Xuan had lost his anger.
He looked at the sky, sighed inwardly, and thought that the little girl must have fallen asleep as before.
He didn't go to the backyard, but let people prepare water in the study in the front yard, took a shower, stood in front of the bookshelf, and was about to pick up a book, trying to calm down, there was a slight noise behind him, he thought it was Chang Yuan, and didn't pay attention to it.
After a while, he suddenly heard thin footsteps, and he turned back suddenly.
A soft body threw himself into his arms, Lin Yi was stunned, looked at Jiang Xuan, and raised his eyebrows with a look of surprise.
"Ah Xuan." He put down the book and took her arm.
Jiang Xuan buried his head in his chest, smelled the fragrance of juniper and soaphorn on his body, hugged him, and said in a low voice,
"I miss you, I can't sleep."
Gentle pleasure welled up in his heart, Lin Yi hugged her back, and when she was on her, she was only wearing a bedclothes, her hair was also scattered, and the whole person looked very soft, he kissed her on the forehead,
"You're dressed like this, and I don't see you come in long ago?"
Jiang Xuan blinked, "The next person said that you were back, but I didn't see you at all, so I knew that you were here, and I sneaked over." ”
Lin Yi was helpless, he knew that she had some skills.
He looked at Jiang Xuan, the two had not been together for a long time since the Cold War, although he wanted to, he would not force her.
This will make him stare at the little girl with burning eyes, and his little girl is very good-looking, which always makes him feel amazing.
He looked up and down, lowered his head, and slowly savored her taste, their breaths intertwined.
Jiang Xuan liked his kisses, intimate and passionate, she stood on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Suddenly, Lin Yi picked her up and walked towards the lounge behind the study, he put Jiang Xuan on the couch, the villain in front of him was already confused, his cheeks were crimson, and his lips were slightly open, which was seductive.
Lin Yi's eyes were dark, he leaned down, and then the people under him responded enthusiastically.
"Lin Yi......" she gasped and asked softly, "Do you like me?" ”
"Like ......" how can he not like it, she has become an inseparable part of his life.
"Then you take me with you......"
Lin Yi held up and raised his head.
Jiang Xuan looked at her, her expression was pitiful and delicate like never before, "I don't want to stay here, I want to be with you......"
As she spoke, she hooked his neck, pressed down, and whispered, "Good brother, you take me, okay......"
Lin Yi looked at her, and suddenly some could understand those faint gentlemen who were addicted to beauty, there is such a person who is coquettish and begging for you, it is really difficult for anyone to resist......
"No......" he exhaled and said in a low voice, "public is public, private is private......"
Jiang Xuan pursed his lips, suddenly pushed him away vigorously, straightened his clothes, stood up, and said lightly, "The night is dark, the concubine will not disturb the emperor's office, tomorrow I will go on the expedition, I am just a woman in the house, I will not go to see him off, I wish the emperor a victory and a triumphant return......"
Lin Yi went to grab her hand, but she broke free, she walked out without looking back, and after opening the door and going out, she kicked on the door panel, and the door 'banged', bounced back and forth.
Outside the study, Biyun wrapped her in a cloak.
Lin Yi froze on the couch, his face a little uncertain.
The couch was messy, and his little brother was still scrappy.
This vicious ...... Fairy Ancestor......
He took a deep breath, kept his face composed, and stood up helplessly against the wall beside him.
Thinking of Jiang Xuan's indifferent departure, he suddenly couldn't stand her indifference.
She is his wife, he wants to let her, not to mention, she is still young, she is so much older than her, she should tolerate her.
Moreover, he is going to go on an expedition, and they will not see each other for a long time, and he does not want the two of them to leave with an estrangement.
He was a little helpless, and when he returned to the backyard, Jiang Xuan was already lying down, with his back to the outside, and he was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Ah Xuan, come here, I'll tell you ......"
Jiang Xuan didn't move.
Lin Yi took off her shoes and coat and went to bed, hugged her into her arms, and whispered,
"The battlefield is dangerous, I don't let you go, because I think that since you are my wife, you should enjoy it, instead of facing the threat of death all the time."
War is the most cruel thing in the world.
Jiang Xuan said softly, "You're out, how can I enjoy it at home?" Isn't it also fearful? I don't even know what I'm going to do if anything happens to you......"
I don't want to be behind you for a little news, my hair is gray. ”
"I really don't want to leave you, I don't want to see you......"
Her eyes were red as she spoke, and her voice was nasal.
Since she knew him, she was actually already dependent on him, and once something formed a habit, it was difficult to get rid of it.
She knew that Lin Yi wanted to protect her, but between husband and wife, shouldn't there be things to face together? She's not a weak woman.
Lin Yi listened to her words, and somehow suddenly laughed and pressed her under him.
He has been taught the art of the emperor since he was a child, and even when dealing with government affairs, he has never encountered such a difficult thing to decide.
He likes Jiang Xuan to rely on him like this, and he likes her to be close to him like this.
If she wants to follow, just let her follow, and he can't bear to see her for so long.
Anyway, in this life, two people are tied together, so let's live together and die together.
Yes, that's it, Lin Yi took a deep breath, "Okay, I promise you, I'll take you with me, it's just that you have to follow my orders." ”
Jiang Xuan sat up and rode on top of him, "Is what you said true?" ”
The matter was solved, the knot in his heart was opened, Lin Yi didn't panic anymore, he put his arms behind his head and looked at her leisurely, "It's true." ”
Jiang Xuan jumped up happily and got out of bed, but was grabbed by Lin Yi, "Let's talk about the others." ”
His voice was a little low, and there was some evil aura at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
……
The soldiers and horses are all ready, the sky is still dark, the sound of the horn sounded in the school field of the capital, and the light of the torches reflected the stars in the sky.
Jiang Chong, as a pioneer, had already set off, and tens of thousands of troops converged into a torrent, and the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps was like a summer thunder, rumbling and shocking.
Lin Yi sat in the car, and Jiang Xuan was dressed as a man and followed him.
In the night, the city of the capital has long been unable to see the shadow, only the light of the torches like a long dragon.
"Are you afraid?" Lin Yi asked softly.
Jiang Xuan smiled, "Don't be afraid." ”
Although the future is uncertain, she is not afraid of him.
The Xu family will definitely be exterminated, the Northern Barbarians will also be driven away, the world will eventually be settled, and they will return safely.
Jiang Xuan firmly believed in his heart.
