Chapter 121: The Messenger
Li Sangrou slept until the evening.
As soon as I woke up, I took a good shower, my hair was wet and pulled up, I changed my clothes, I asked Ruyi for a cup of tea, squatted at the door of the handsome tent, and just took two sips, Dachang and the black horse came back with a big car.
Li Sangrou greeted him with a teacup.
The blind man jumped out of the car first, looking in a good mood, and waved his blind cane around to look around.
Xiao Luzi jumped out of the car one by one.
Li Sangrou raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Luzi and the four of them.
"They walked all the way and watched all the way, watched carefully, walked slowly, on the night of the thirtyth, Wen Siye asked people to chase them, and they caught up at noon on the first day of the new year, and they arrived home in the middle of the night last night." Datsune muttered as he moved things from the car.
"I've complained all the way, saying I didn't take them, why did I take you? Getting in the way? Along the way, my ears hurt from their noise! The black horse rubbed his ears vigorously, his face painful.
"Boss!" Xiao Luzi finally waited for the conversation, stretched out his head and stepped forward, and before he finished shouting, he was stopped by Li Sangrou raising his hand, "You came back just in time, grasshoppers and swantiao will go with me, leave in half an hour, go to the south, hurry up and clean up." ”
"Hey!" The grasshopper and the swaying strip were behind Xiao Lu and the black horse, jumping up and smiling.
"Then me! And me! Boss Boss! Xiao Luzi was in a hurry, and the big head hurriedly squeezed up, "Me! I! ”
"You two follow Dachang, and you. Did you see that? This is the barracks, do you understand the affairs of the barracks? Don't understand, do you? Then you have to learn! Start learning now. Li Sangrou nodded from Xiao Luzi to the black horse, "You guys, now go and help the grasshoppers and the strips clean up." “
The black horse nodded with a smile on his face, one hand at a time, grabbed Xiao Luzi and the big head, and trotted all the way to the tent pointed out by Li Sangrou.
Da Chang stepped forward and looked at Li Sangrou, "Where are you going?" “
"Military affairs, don't ask. We're in the army now.
There are many rules in the barracks, and there are many exquisitenesses, I am not in the camp, and I probably won't send any envoys to you.
Also, we used to fight in groups, which is different from fighting, and we have to practice well, this, I entrusted it to Fourth Master Wen, let him point out and guide you, especially you.
If there is anything, go to find Fourth Master Wen, you can't call Fourth Master Wen, call General Wen, don't look for Mr. Wen, he can't care about it at all.
Watch them study hard, practice hard, and don't let them be lazy, especially dark horses. ”
"Well, don't worry, boss." Dachang nodded.
"Haven't drawn the picture yet?" After explaining Dachang, Li Sangrou turned around and patted the back of the blind man with the back of her hand.
The blind man was still looking up, turned around, and faced Li Sangrou, "It's done, that is, it's painted, it's all ready-made, it's all here." The blind man nodded his chest, "I'm coming, there are a few places, I have to explain to you in person."
You just said that in half an hour, you will be leaving? Where to? Hefei?
Did Nanliang take Hefei County? Dachang told me, the New Year's Day, alas! Damn, I won't let you have a good year!
Look, this is the picture, I have to tell you quickly, you see, here's ......" The blind man looked irritated, unscrewed his blind cane, and pulled out two scrolls of paper from it.
"Wait." Li Sangrou stopped the blind man, took a few steps to the door of the handsome tent, and said with a smile: "I want you to see if Mr. Wen is free, if he is free, please ask him to come out." There is an urgency. ”
The guards went in and came out in a moment, Wen Cheng followed behind and came out of the handsome tent.
"Alas you!" Seeing Li Sangrou calling out Wen Cheng, the blind man raised his two eyebrows and raised his forehead.
"There are two pictures here, both are crossbows, you see, can you help me type one each, this picture was drawn by him, if you don't understand anything, you can ask him." Li Sangrou took the blind cane from the blind man's hand, poured out the two pictures, and handed them to Wen Cheng.
"Him?" Wen Cheng looked at the blind man who looked like he had no eyes, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He knew that this blind man had followed Li Sangrou from Jiangdu City, and had been to see him several times, seeing him use copper coins for divination, touching copper coins, and even saying that the hexagram was wrong, as for the rest, it was all nonsense.
He always thought that this blind man was an old charlatan who cheated some food and drink under the guise of fortune telling.
Will he make a crossbow?
Li Da's crossbow, he made it? Just look at the crossbow arrow, although it is small but extremely difficult to make, the hand crossbow must be extremely delicate.
"He's not blind, his eyes are very good, and what you can't see, he can see clearly." Li Sangrou's words interrupted Wen Cheng's stunned.
"Expose people but not short!" The blind man knocked on the ground with a blind cane.
"You're a strength." Li Sangrou replied casually.
Wen Cheng smiled.
"Come here!" The blind man dragged Li Sangrou to the side.
"I told you, I don't deal with their government! No! "The blind man knocked on the ground with a blind cane.
"What then? I'll leave in a moment, just hand over the diagram to them, this crossbow can be shot, right? Can it be used when you type it?
According to your blind eyes, it will be my turn to go into battle, and there will be a few days left? Wait until I come back to make this crossbow, will it be too late? ”
Li Sangrou asked in one breath.
"Alas you!" The blind man glared at Li Sangrou.
"Either you stay here and watch those two crossbows come out, or you really have to show me a graveyard, a little bigger, and the big black horse Xiao Luzi and them." Li Sangrou hugged her arms to her chest and looked at the blind man.
"I should have watched you drift by!" The blind man gritted his teeth.
"This is our business, that is, borrowing the craftsman stove of their official mansion, you are watching from the side, and these two crossbows are ready. Why do you want to do so much? Li Sangrou smiled.
"That's right. Alas, well! What else can I do? The blind man gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.
Wen Cheng, who was about ten steps away, looked at the blind man who gritted his teeth and beat his chest, and then looked at Li Sangrou pointing at the blind man with one finger and coming towards him.
"He's used to being at ease, and he's most afraid of the barracks. Two crossbows are made, if he wants to go, let him go, don't stop. It's best to be able to make it out quickly. Li Sangrou looked at Wen Cheng and said with a smile.
"The big boss is relieved. Please rest assured, sir, too. Wen Cheng smiled in response, and said something to the blind man, turned his head to signal the handsome account, and said with a smile to Li Sangrou: "You go in, the big man still has something to explain to you." ”
Sang Rou turned around and went into the tent.
"You're going to leave in a moment?" Gu Xi was facing the huge topographic map, heard the movement, and turned his head to look at Li Sangrou.
"Yes, the sooner the better." Li Sangrou smiled and nodded.
"Be careful on the road, do your best, and protect yourself." Gu Xi took two or three steps away from Li Sangrou and explained in a low voice.
"Okay, General Wen said you set off in the middle of the night? Which direction are you heading? Is it also Hefei? Li Sangrou casually replied and asked.
"Well, you're going alone?" Gu Xi frowned slightly.
"Bring grasshoppers and channeling strips, they are both stupid, their hearts are very clear, and they are both local accents, Hefei area, they have been there a few times.
Anything else? If not, then I'm leaving. Li Sangrou arched her hand at Gu Xi.
"Nothing else is a big deal, I'll leave after eating." Gu Xi took a step forward.
"I've eaten it." Li Sangrou replied, waved his hand, and turned around to leave the tent.
Half an hour later, Li Sangrou packed up, took grasshoppers and channeling strips, one person and two horses, left the camp, and went straight to the direction of Wuwei Mansion.
The three of them changed horses along the way, hurried along the way, passed Shouzhou, grasshoppers and channeling rushed to Hefei, and Li Sangrou went straight to Anqing Mansion.
Between Qi and Liang, this big war that wants to dominate the world has begun, and this battle has started, the world is in turmoil, and I don't know how many people will die.
She, and the Uncle Ye in Anqing Mansion, who knows what day she died.
She had to hand over Zuo Rouniang's letter to Ye Anping before she was alive and Ye Anping was still alive.
She couldn't live up to Zuo Rouniang's expectations and the old lady's protection for more than 20 years.
……………………
When Li Sangrou rushed to the delivery shop in Anqing Mansion, it was already a regular time, putting the horse in the delivery shop, Li Sangrou took some salted meat and baked cakes, ate them while walking, and went straight to Yingjiang Temple.
Around the time of the child, Li Sangrou rushed to Yingjiang Temple.
Inside and outside the Yingjiang Temple, it is quiet and peaceful.
Li Sangrou jumped into the temple and went straight to the courtyard of the garden that was far away from the monks.
The upper room of the small courtyard is the same as once, the door is not closed, and there are two everlasting lamps lit in front of the Buddha.
In the next room, on a narrow bed, Ye Anping was already asleep.
Li Sangrou walked to the bed and gently pushed.
Ye Anping opened his eyes and saw that it was Li Sangrou, so he sat up.
"You?" Ye Anping's two hands pressed on the bed trembled slightly.
"The first emperor died of illness, not by me." Li Sangrou looked at Ye Anping, who was excited and frightened, "I just found evidence and told the second prince that his biological mother was not Shen Niangniang, but one of the six little ladies."
When the emperor died of illness, Shen Niangniang took poison and the two of them walked together.
The second prince left home in front of Shen Niangniang's spirit, and like you, he became a monk and is now guarding the mausoleum in the imperial mausoleum. ”
Li Sangrou said, taking out Zuo Rouniang's letter from her waist bag.
"I found the place where the second prince was born, in the imperial village outside Yangwu County......
Li Sangrou carefully explained the origin of Zuo Rouniang's letter.
“…… From the time Zuo Rouniang was taken away until she died, she must have been guarded extremely tightly, and she would not be allowed to know any letters.
But Zuo Rouniang still understands her situation, and she can still know that the stable women can be trusted, and she can hand over this letter, this letter is written to you, not to her family, she is indeed as you said, extremely smart, it's a pity. ”
Ye Anping took the letter with both hands, and his hands were trembling and he could barely hold it.
Li Sangrou took two steps back, watched Ye Anping open the letter with shaking hands, read it at a glance and ten lines, read it word by word, read it again, leaned forward, and cried.
Li Sangrou silently looked at Ye Anping, who was crying.
After Ye Anping cried bitterly, he slowly sat up straight, Li Sangrou looked at him sideways, he looked much more refreshed and clear.
Ye Anping folded the letter gently and carefully, put it away closely, got out of bed, knelt down and kowtowed to Li Sangrou.
"Don't dare to be." Li Sangrou sideways evaded.
"Whose child is the second master? Was it born by Rou Niang? Ye Anping seriously kowtowed three times, stood up, looked at Li Sangrou, and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, but those who know are dead." Li Sangrou sighed.
"The Southern Liang army has captured Hefei County." Li Sangrou looked at Ye Anping, "I committed something to atone for my sins in the army, and I am afraid that I will die in a war, so I will quickly deliver this letter to you."
You have seen this, in this war, either me or you have encountered misfortune, and it will not disappoint Zuo Rouniang again. ”
Li Sangrou sighed again, that Zuo Rou Niang was unfortunate enough, this letter finally did not disappoint her again.
"Thank you." Ye Anping leaned over again to thank him.
"You are worthy of Rou Niang, in the future, don't be so bitter about yourself, you have such a hard time, Zuo Rou Niang has a spirit in the sky, and it is just uncomfortable to see it, it won't be happy, isn't it?
Such a smart girl, she has long known your heart for her, and she must hope that you will live well.
Also, you have a wife and children, you are worthy of Zuo Rouniang, but you have failed them, although it is difficult to have two ways in life, you should treat them well after you can. Li Sangrou looked at Ye Anping, who was even thinner than last time, and couldn't help but say.
"Yes, in Rou Niang's letter, she also said the same, saying that I was too stubborn, saying that life is impermanent, let me see and think about it, and don't suffer myself." Ye Anping didn't finish his sentence, and tears burst out of his eyes again.
"Then don't suffer yourself anymore." Li Sangrou took a step back, looked left and right, and pointed to PWGH's low couch, "I rushed over day and night, I was very tired, I slept with you for a while, and I will leave in the morning." ”
"Good! I went to get the futon, there was a clean futon, it was just washed and unused! Ye Anping hurriedly stood up, ran into the next room, and came over with the futon from the cabinet.
Li Sangrou wrapped in a soft quilt, curled up on the low couch, and fell asleep in a moment.
Ye Anping sat cross-legged on the futon in front of the Buddha, took out the letter, held it in his hand, looked at it blankly, for a long time, gently put the letter in his arms, looked up at the light, and lowered his eyes Guanyin, from the heart to the body, it was never loose.
The hatred and resentment that had tormented and suppressed him for more than twenty years disappeared at once, and his heart was empty, in a trance and in a hurry.
A ray of dawn shines in.
Li Sangrou opened her eyes, stood up, looked at Ye Anping, who was sitting in front of the Buddha like a wood carving, walked to his side, and leaned over to look.
"You...... Ah, it's dawn. Ye Anping was awakened by Li Sangrou's sight and got up in a hurry.
"I'm gone, and I'll see it forever." Li Sangrou took a step back, turned around and went out, and jumped out of the temple by an old tree at the door.
……………………
The grasshoppers and the swaying strips followed the downwind of the shop, and in the evening, they arrived at the nearest shop from the border of Luzhou.
Put the horse in the delivery shop, and the delivery shop manager asked for two sets of old jackets and old cotton pants that were worn when asking for food, the two of them changed, a picture of a poor and lazy man who went out to ask for food in the first month, went out of the delivery shop, picked and picked from the side of the road, picked a dog stick to hold, and went straight to Hefei County.
The boss said that she would arrive a day late, and asked them to go to the front station first.
The two of them hurried overnight, before dawn, shrunk in a dilapidated Niangniang temple, ate salted mutton and flax baked cakes, drank a bottle of wine and soup for one person, buried the bottle, waited until dawn, and set off again.
After that, they ate and drank all by asking for food, but fortunately, asking for food was their business.
