Chapter 2 Supporting the coffin

On the seventh day of June, the miscanthus is planted.

Li Xin returned to Beijing.

All the shops in Chang'an closed their businesses early, hung white flags, and everyone poured into Xuanwu Street.

Except for the sound of children laughing, the atmosphere in the entire capital was oppressive.

The Battle of Jian'an, the most tragic resistance in the history of Dachen, lost a full 100,000 soldiers. In the end, under the leadership of the Shou'an County Lord, the declining situation was stabilized in one fell swoop, and it took less than two months to break through the Beirong troops stationed on the Dachen border and consolidate the entire Dachen border.

Now, the situation in the frontier has stabilized, and by the emperor's edict, the county lord Li Xin has returned to Beijing with the coffin.

--

In the distance, only a white military flag was seen, and then silver armor was slowly approaching in unison.

On the four-wheeled cart is a coffin covered with a white cloth.

One coffin after another, with no end in sight, occupies the entire Xuanwu Street.

Among a group of silver armor, a thin woman in filial piety clothes is particularly conspicuous.

Because she wore a silver mask, the crowd could not see her face clearly.

She walked at the front of the line, her hands holding the first coffin.

Her back was as straight as loose,

There was no sadness in her eyes, they were all dead ashes.

There was not a single cry, even the noisy children stopped, their eyes staring at the huge boxes one after another.

At the end of Xuanwu Street, turn into Chang'an Street, where there are only two families.

The mansion of the Duke of Wei and the residence of the younger brother of the current saint, King Duan.

Looking at the familiar figure, the dead gray eyes rippled with water.

But it soon disappeared, as if it had never been seen.

The eldest princess Xuanci, the Duchess of Wei, stood in the middle of the street opposite the gate of the Duke of Wei's mansion with the support of several daughters-in-law, watching the coffins containing her children and grandchildren slowly approaching.

The crutches slammed to the ground again and again, and behind them were bursts of cries.

The team supporting the coffin stopped, and the people who followed closely behind also stopped, looking at the white figure in front of them.

Li Xin clenched his hands, hid them in his sleeves, walked straight to his grandmother, Princess Xuanci, and then knelt down heavily in front of everyone.

The thin figure, even if it knelt, was still straight.

The old lady shook off her daughter-in-law who was holding her, stepped forward tremblingly, looked at her former favorite granddaughter, and slapped her hard.

Not only the ladies of the Wei Mansion behind the old lady, but also the people, relatives and friends of the road sacrifice next to them were also inspired.

"Old Lady"

"Mother"

"Grandmother"

The palm was extremely heavy, knocking off the mask on Li Xin's face, revealing hideous knife marks.

The scar ruined half of his face, which was still covered with blood from the corners of his mouth, apparently freshly punched.

The wife of the third room of the Wei State Mansion, who is also Li Xin's biological mother, broke free of the restraints and threw herself out, hugging her daughter fiercely.

"Mother, if you want to beat your daughter-in-law, hit your daughter-in-law. Ah Wan, she is still injured, she is my daughter, if you want to beat me, mother~ Sister Wan has never made a mistake! ”

Liu stubbornly defended his daughter and desperately begged the old lady for mercy.

And Li Xin in her arms has been kneeling straight and has never said a word.

The old lady gave a look, and the maid below immediately pulled the Liu family away, no matter how the Liu family cried, it was useless.

"Ah Wan, grandmother asked you, since you can save it, why didn't you save it earlier? Why! ”

"Why!"

The old lady asked again and again, holding the dragon cane, and hit the girl hard.

The corners of the girl's mouth were bloody.

The people next to him couldn't bear it and wanted to dissuade them, but they were all stopped by the people from the Wei State Mansion.

When the news of the defeat at the front reached Chang'an, Kyoto, it was already over and could not be saved, but what was wrong with the county lord?

Only another white figure rushed out, protecting Li Xin, and stubbornly withstood the crutch.

"Princess?"

Li Xin was a little stunned, looking at the smiling but bitter woman in front of him, not knowing whether to ask himself or others.

"Why bother? It was my fault, and if I had woken up earlier, even earlier, it might not have been like this. and you will all be saved. ”

Li Xin fell down and fell into the arms of Chen Le'an, a best friend of the two worlds.

Blood soaked the hems of their clothes.

Red, the color of blood, blooms in the memories of childhood.

I don't know if it was Zhuang Zhou Mengdie or Dream Butterfly Zhuang Zhou, when Li Xin woke up, he was in the wing room on the mountain behind the White Horse Temple, the most famous Buddhist temple in the suburbs of Kyoto.

The abbot has been chanting for her for three days and three nights.

"Is the county lord awake?"

Li Xin went to Chen's meditation room and sat opposite Chen, with no mask on his face, the terrifying scar showed that this victory was not easy, and there was a lingering cloud of sorrow on his eyebrows.

"The believer is puzzled, and I hope that the master will teach her."

Dusty head, put down the Buddha beads, and looked at the girl.

"Is it credible to say that you will be reborn in this world?"

The abbot frowned, thinking that the eleven members of the girl's family were all killed in the city, just thinking that this was the girl's obsession, he couldn't help but be moved for a while.

This is just a girl who has just turned sixteen, and what she has endured in the past few months is too heavy, and she has fallen into a nightmare, and I don't know if it's good or bad?

"Does the county lord believe it or not?"

Li Xin was asked, stunned.

If she didn't believe it, how could she know the opportunity and leave the Beirong army out of hell.

If she believes, the pain of that life is like a tide, washing over and over again, overwhelming her.

The heavy memory swept over like a flood and overthrew everything.

In the last life, she was raised in the boudoir, although she was gifted and intelligent, she practiced martial arts since she was a child, but because her uncle and cousin were very fond of her uncle and cousin, she was bound by the dogma of the boudoir, and she never went to the battlefield.

At that time, the news of the death of the uncle and his cousins came like a bolt from the blue. Like her aunt and mother, she washed her face with tears all day long.

In order to save the decline and curb the iron cavalry of Beirong's southern invasion, her best close friends, Princess Le'an and her pro-Beirong, died under the humiliation of the enemy's iron cavalry.

Although the court hid the news, she still learned from the crown princess that she was humiliated and died.

At that time, she was already pregnant with the prince's child, and she was more than seven months old, but she lost her child because of this miscarriage and could never have a child again.

In sporadic memories, she was depressed all day long, immersed in the grief of losing her relatives and close friends, and then lingered on the couch.

In order to treat her, the prince accompanied her to visit many famous doctors, but to no avail.

In his memory, Beirong is still eyeing Da Chen and often harassing Da Chen.

Half of the prince's sorrow is his increasingly weak body, and half is Beirong's provocation.

He is also bitter, although he has never confided in front of him, and he is always looking for fun things to amuse himself, but Li Xin knows that Le'an's death and the departure of the child are the lingering pain in the hearts of the two.

She died, on the sickbed of the East Palace.

I heard hurried footsteps in the distance,

He shouldn't have come,

It was she who dragged down the prince of this country.

---

"County Lord? The county lord? ”

Li Xin came back to his senses and looked at the white-bearded abbot who was full of kindness.

"The county lord has something on his mind?"

Li Xin did not reply to him, she vaguely remembered that after her death, the crown prince covered her hands and killed the second prince Chen Zhuo, without showing any mercy.

But he also became terrified all the time and ignored state affairs.

But after the emperor's new funeral, he was reprimanded and embarrassed by hundreds of officials, and finally lost his throne before he was called emperor.

However, he has rarely even seen a side concubine who has captivated the country and the city, how could he do such a rude thing?

Who came to the throne of God?

Vaguely, she had no impression.

I always felt that there was something she didn't grasp.

In the previous life, she was too stupid, and many of them were full of loopholes, but she didn't realize it at all.

Uncle, as the Duke of Wei, is even more contemptuous on the battlefield. Brother Lobby is the inheritor of his father's will, both wise and brave.

How can you get trapped? Or did the 200,000 army fall?

Unfortunately, when she woke up and thought that she could save them by taking the lead, it was as if the heavens had played a joke on her.

Before she could go to Beijung, she got the news of their deaths.

There was no leader in the army, so she had to keep her henchmen to suppress the matter in the army. Then the soldiers made a dangerous move, arrived in Tiandu City, and assassinated the person she hated so much, giving the three armies a chance to breathe.

Grandmother's words are like the sharpest dagger in her heart, and she has asked countless times, why? Why not earlier?

Since she was given a head start, why not earlier?

Looking at the girl's eyes full of grief and resentment, Lichen's heart palpitated, isn't it a demonic barrier?

"County lord, why bother with the fact that the Si people have passed away? Wouldn't it be better to cherish the present? ”

Li Xin looked up at this wise old man, and Li Chen continued, "Now the Wei Mansion is full of women and children, and the youngest son is only six years old, since the county lord has the talent to lead the army, he should shoulder the heavy burden." ”

"Beirong has been eyeing each other for many years, the two countries have exchanged troops, and the people are miserable."

"Since the county lord has this ability, why don't you rise to the challenge, Kuang Fu Sheji, and return the world to a clear Haiyan River and a prosperous Qingping?"

Shengshi Qingping?

The uncles and cousins are bloody on the battlefield in order to protect the Li people, Le Anyuan marries and relatives to return the peace of the world, and the prince works hard for the people to live and work in peace and contentment......

Since she is starting her life all over again, why not inherit their will and protect these people who have loved her for a lifetime?

Looking at the girl's eyes that turned from dark to bright, the abbot breathed a sigh of relief.

Quietly left the meditation room and arrived at a hidden place in the back mountain.

A man dressed in yellow waited here for a long time, and a woman in white stood beside him.

"Prince, princess."

Chen Chen's lips pursed slightly, and he saluted the abbot, his clear eyes full of concern.

She ...... Are you okay? ”

The abbot bowed, "When the poor monk came out, the county lord was already eating, although he didn't eat much, but he looked a lot better. ”

The girl in white walked forward with a food box in her hand, "Master, here are some vegetarian foods, all of which are her favorite food, could you please hand them over to her?" ”

The abbot took it and left.

Chen Le'an looked at his brother's slightly tired eyes, hesitated, and still stepped forward hesitantly.

"Brother Huang, I want to meet Ah Wan."

Chen Chen turned to look at his sister, dressed in plain clothes, except for prosperity, with his head on his head, cowardly and cowardly.

Chen Chen reached out and rubbed her soft hair, not knowing whether he was persuading her or herself.

"Let her be quiet, and she'll see us when she wants to."

Chen Le'an looked up at her imperial brother, she knew that she was not the only one who wanted to see Awan.

"Brother~"

A carriage descended the mountain under layers of guards.

On the first seven days, Li Xin went down the mountain.
