Chapter 35 Returning to the Hometown to Visit the Elderly
I have always been entangled in things before, but now I have a breeze on my sleeves. It was time for him to go back home and visit his only loved ones who were still waiting for him to come home.
Zhao Yi walked to the side of the tree, untied the reins of the horse, and turned over the saddle. When he drove his horse out of the forest, he saw a group of five people waiting for him in front of him, led by Han Yuchen.
Looking at the other party's energy, Zhao Yi secretly said that it was not good, drove over the horse, and said with a little emptiness: "Yu, Yuchen, how do you know that I am here." ”
"Hmph! Don't try to get away from the topic. ”
Han Yuchen's eyes were on fire, "Why didn't Brother Zhao Yi even say hello and ran out of the room." I searched all over Yancheng, but I didn't find you in the end. ”
"Me, I remembered that there was something urgent to deal with. ”
Zhao Yi touched his head, looked away, and stammered: "And the situation at that time was a bit urgent, so... So I didn't wait for you to come back, I'm sorry. ”
"Actually... Actually, Yuchen knows what you're going to do. ”
Han Yuchen's angry face slowly became sad, she lowered her head and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Someone told me that you have been soothing those ...... for nearly a month."
She didn't have the courage to say anything after the words, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became solemn.
"I...", Zhao Yi opened his mouth, "I actually don't want you to know this, and I don't want you to see those scenes, these things will affect you, so I don't say goodbye." ”
"Yuchen understands, but I can't always live under the shoulders of my father, Brother Zhao Yi, and those who love me, there are some things I should touch, and I should change and work hard like Brother Zhao Yi, right?"
Zhao Yi looked at her in a daze, and said calmly: "Yuchen, you have grown up." ”
Poof! Han Yuchen covered his mouth and chuckled, "Brother Zhao Yi, you're only three years older than me! Don't talk to me in an elder's tone every time, okay." ”
Zhao Yi smiled awkwardly. He is only in his teens, but his experience has made him mentally mature too much.
"That morning, I worked hard to make a bowl of lotus root porridge for you, and you ran away without even saying hello, this is your fault!"
Han Yuchen regained his previous liveliness and said with a smile: "So~ you have to compensate me!"
"You say, how do you want me to compensate you?"
"Don't leave me anywhere now!"
"This ......"
"Hmph, whether you agree or not, I'll always follow you. She grimaced.
"I'm going to Leafless City now," Zhao Yi didn't hide the other party's follow-up plans, he did have to go home, in addition to visiting his grandfather, he still had some doubts to figure out.
"Visiting your grandfather?"
"Hmm"
"I haven't seen him in more than four years, so it's time to visit him. ”,
"Okay! Let's go back together!"
After that, the two of them and four retinues, a total of six people, went south and headed for Leafless City.
On the way, Zhao Yi and the others talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very pleasant, and Zhao Yi was often amused by this elf ghost to laugh. Such a day has always been what he yearns for, relaxed, happy, and without any worries.
At the same time, they also heard a lot of shocking news, such as the previous incident about the murder of Yongle Hou.
Zhao Yi knew that the Marquis of Yongle was the former emperor of the Great Wei, Tuoba Ren. After surrendering, he was deprived of all his rights by Zhao Qian's eldest brother, and rewarded him with a fief in his name, and drove him to a ruined city in the Southern Wilderness to enjoy his life.
But who knows, on the way, he was robbed of his property by a group of robbers, and finally lost his life, and all the people died at the hands of those robbers. Anyone with a discerning eye can see who is behind all this, but they all avoid talking about it, for fear of causing death.
In the month that Zhao Yi was running, many people disappeared inexplicably, or suddenly died at home, and most of these were officials of Zhao State, as well as local bullies who had a deep relationship with these officials.
He understood that these were all a great purge carried out by Brother Zhao Qian in order to make the future of Zhao more prosperous and prosperous.
Two days passed quickly, and when Zhao Yi stepped into the house again, the feelings contained in his heart were very complicated. There was longing, sentimentality, and guilt, he once passed through the leafless city, but he didn't choose to go into the city to visit his grandfather. He was afraid that after the two met, he would soften his iron heart, which would not be conducive to his fight on the battlefield.
When they came to the house together, someone immediately stopped them and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Without waiting for Zhao Yi to answer, another guard's lips trembled, and he stepped forward and asked, "Is it Young Master?"
The person who asked before immediately understood that there was only one person who could be called a young master in this mansion, Zhao Yi, who was personally named by the emperor four years ago to go on the expedition, and he had not come to Zhao Mansion to work at that time.
The man quickly made a move, "The little eye is clumsy, he doesn't know Mount Tai, and the young master is atoning for his sins in vain!"
"Nothing!Nothing!", Zhao Yi waved his hand.
Then the two of them introduced Zhao Yi and others into the mansion, and shouted all the way: "The young master is back!
The cold mansion immediately became lively, and when he walked to the deep courtyard, an old man with gray hair walked out with the support of his subordinates.
"Grandfather!"
Zhao Yi shouted, came to the front and knelt down, "Grandson, it's been so long, and now I came back to visit you, so you always worry about your grandson." ”
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back"
Mrs. Zhao's hands trembled slightly, and he helped Zhao Yi up, "Don't say anything stupid, you just need to be fine." ”
Han Yuchen also came to the side, saluted and shouted, "Hello grandfather." ”
"Who is this?"
Mrs. Zhao was a little confused, he couldn't recognize this woman, he only vaguely felt that her face was a little familiar.
Zhao Yi introduced with a smile: "She is Han Yuchen!"
"Oh oh! it's Yuchen girl!", Mrs. Zhao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Look at my old bones, I can't even remember Yuchen's appearance, but you have also changed, and you are even more smart." ”
"Thank you, Grandpa, Mikua. She replied shyly.
"You haven't eaten yet, don't be stunned, let's sit in the back room, eat and talk inside. ”
Mrs. Zhao shouted happily: "Someone's coming!"
"In!"
"Tell the cook to cook a few more good dishes... Wait, tell him to have another braised lion's head. ”
"Alright, sir. The subordinate quickly left.
Mrs. Zhao turned around and said with a smile: "I remember that when you were a child, you liked to eat braised lion's head the most. Every time, if you don't have a lion's head for a meal, you don't eat, haha. ”
"Grandfather!", Zhao Yi muttered, tears glistening in his eyes.
"Why are you crying, kid?"
Mrs. Zhao helped him wipe away his tears and said, "It's cold outside, let's go!" Let's go in first, and the Yuchen girl will also come." ”
"Good!"
"Good!"
After a full meal, the three of them came to * for a walk.
Han Yuchen has always been unable to avoid the nature of girls, seeing those plum blossoms blooming alone, he can't help but run to the front and smell their fragrance greedily.
happily plucked one and put it on the green silk, and shouted to Zhao Yi, who was playing chess with Mrs. Zhao: "Brother Zhao Yi, look!
"Good-looking!", Zhao Yi glanced at Han Yuchen, who had a light temperament, and praised it sincerely.
When she heard this, two blush flew on her face, and she ran away a few steps to look at the other flowers in the yard.
Syllable~
Mrs. Zhao dropped a black chess piece and laughed: "Haha, grandson, how do you see your grandfather's move?"
Zhao Yi withdrew his gaze from Han Yuchen and looked at the chessboard on the stone table again, as the opponent's black chess piece fell, the part of the white chess piece had become a defeat.
He laughed, "Grandfather's chess skills are superb, and my grandson is ashamed of himself." ”
Mrs. Zhao looked at him, frowned slightly, put down the sunspot in his hand, and said earnestly: "In the first few games of chess, I didn't see any clues from my grandson, but this game..."
"Look at your upper left corner, you attack and you will take it, and you will not defend it; Those who defend and must be solid, and the basic way of defending what they do not attack can be forgotten. I've always been restrained by my sunspots.,I don't even dare to take the initiative.。 ”
"Your lower left corner, this side is fine, you know how to take the initiative, but the defense is weak, and I turned around to capture it, and you immediately returned to the defense, waiting and hesitating. ”
"Look at your lower right corner again, affected by the situation in front, you stubbornly hold on and do not attack, and you are pressed by all my sunspots. ”
"When you reach the last corner, your thinking is even more chaotic, Bai Zi has no soldiers, no arms, and defeat is inevitable. ”
He sighed, "The four calamities of good deeds have come down like this. ”
"I'm sorry, grandfather!"
"Your mind is not on Yiqi at all, is there something else bothering your grandson now?", Mrs. Zhao looked at him with cloudy eyes.
Zhao Yi was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke up, "I want to know how my father Zhao Tianyu died!"
This shocking sentence stimulated Mrs. Zhao, and he lowered his white-haired head. Then it was his turn to be silent.
Zhao Yi knew that his words would hurt his grandfather's dusty heart, but he had to ask, "I've grown up!
Zhao Yi propped up his body and continued: "When I was a child, my grandson had seen his father's death with his own eyes, and there was only a wound on his abdomen all over his body, the skin and flesh were opened, and all the internal organs disappeared. ”
"My grandfather said that my father died in battle, but why is there only that wound and no other wound? And from the edge of the wound, there were also zigzag marks, and Sun Er really couldn't think of any weapon that could cause such a wound. ”
"Who would have time to cut off my father's internal organs while he was killing?"
Under Zhao Yi's series of analysis and questioning, Old Lady Zhao stood up silently, walked out of the pavilion with her hands behind her back, and a faint voice came, "You come with me." ”
