After dawn, the shops on the reed long street of Zhaogong opened one after another, ready to welcome merchants from all over Kyushu.

The business of Zhang's embroidery workshop was closed today, and Xiao Yi took Tingfang, Su Rui and Fengfeng to Pingliang City to bury Fengfeng's aunt. Xiao Yi instructed Su Rui to lead Fengfeng back to the embroidery workshop to rest, and then he and Tingfang and the others diverted to another deserted place outside the city.

There is a mausoleum that no one has ordered to take care of, but there are no weeds for many years, called "the tomb of King Song Huai".

More than 20 years ago, Chen Guo attacked the Song Dynasty, and Liu Ying, the king of Song Huai, drove his own expedition and died in Pingliang. According to rumors, King Song Huai was burned beyond recognition by the fire of Pingliang, and there was no corpse left, leaving only a portable sword that could be identified. His sword was hidden in the Jinyang Palace of the Chen State, and it was stolen by the Jiangyang thieves a few years ago.

After several tosses, the sword of King Huai finally reached the hands of King Huai of Song and King Liu, the son of the princess of Qi. It's a pity that the sky is jealous of the talent, and the King of Qi jumped off the peerless peak, and there are no bones left. Only that sword fell intact into the hands of the current Song King Liu.

I only sigh that the sword is still there, but people are dead in a foreign land.

Xiao Yi took off the hat and the white tulle, and hung the tulle and the hat on the peach tree next to the tombstone.

The peach tree is a twenty-year-old tree, and every year it blooms and bears fruit, and every year it grows more and more. Xiao Yi casually folded off a short branch of peach blossom and placed it on the tombstone.

Xiao Yi sat in front of the tombstone, stroked the word "Liu Ying" on the monument stroke by stroke, and sighed lightly: "I went out of the city in a hurry today, and I didn't bring you wine." It's another year of spring flowers, I don't know where you sleep, is it still cold? ”

Tingfang saw that Xiao Yi was sitting alone in front of the tombstone and talking as usual, afraid that he would have to talk for a long time, so he quietly cleaned up the weeds on the side, leaving only wild flowers.

Xiao Yi said: "Maybe your sword has its own evil aura. Back then, you took it and never returned, unrecognizable. Now our son has taken it, and he is gone, and there are no bones left......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but cry. After a long time, she continued to choke and said, "When our little leader came to Zhao's aid, I only glanced at him hurriedly outside Pingliang City. At that time, he flew into the city, and I did not want to disturb him, and I always felt that the coming day was long, and as long as he was safe and smooth, it would be okay for him to meet me sooner or later.

I was waiting for him to come back from Wucheng in the show shop in Zhao Palace. Although he helped King Zhao defend Wucheng, King Zhao was seriously injured, and it was inconvenient for him to let the Qi army and the Chu army stay in Zhao for a long time, so he hurriedly led his troops away again. I didn't even see him.

I haven't seen him since he was born. I don't want to miss the great cause of Qi Wei's restoration of the country, nor do I want to miss Zhuge Escape's life...... But in the end, everything came to naught.

I have been separated from Xiao for many years, and it doesn't matter if I see it or not, but I never thought that he and Zhuge ...... will all be buried in Xiling.

I've been to West Ridge to look for them. There was a flash flood under the peerless peak, not to mention the bones, even the century-old trees were washed away. I asked around Xiling, and even Yaowang Mountain went to inquire, but no one saw any trace of Xiao and Zhuge at all, not at all.

The wife of the young marry...... I told you, it is Dongfang Shu, the princess of Chu State. She is now the king of Anyi of Chu State, with 100,000 troops, which can be regarded as a role under one person in Chu and above 10,000 people. After Xiao disappeared, she went to the Song Kingdom with Liu. It was rumored that she was pregnant with Liu's child, but I didn't believe it. The girl who looks down on her can't be a water-based poplar person. She went to the Song Kingdom, maybe she had her own reasons.

I was also what the people called 'discredited.' I know that some rumors are not credible at all. I boldly guessed that if she didn't kill Liu Weifu to avenge her husband, she must be protecting something. Is it protecting small flesh and bones? Or is it the relationship between Song and Chu? Or ...... She found traces of Xiao and Zhuge ?

The king of Shu went to assassinate Liu, but he failed three times, and was persuaded by Liu to lead his troops to Mobei Wolf City.

Since Shu'er and the King of Shu will not kill Liu for the time being, I don't have to go. Moreover, Liu is also your child after all, if I kill him, you and I will finally meet in heaven and earth in the future, how can I give you an explanation? I am a 'dead' person, so why should I bother with those worldly enmities?

Liu Ying, I just want to come here often to talk to you. Wildflowers in spring, piano in summer, leaves in autumn, snow in winter......

When I can't afford to fall ill one day, I'll die with you. In this way, it can be regarded as a response to the sentence you wrote to me back then, 'Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said, return to the garden and live in the countryside, and meet Zhao Guo'. ”

……

After saying that, Xiao Yi got up, put on his veil and hat again, and walked towards Pingliang City with Tingfang.

Tingfang said to Xiao Yi: "His Royal Highness King Huai ordered me to accompany my wife...... He never actually asked me to spy on you. After so many years, I can clearly see Madame's thoughts about His Royal Highness King Huai, and His Royal Highness must be satisfied with the spirit in the sky. Now the king of Qi is ...... Madame's life is too bitter, so why continue to suffer herself? To tell the truth, Madame is still beautiful, and if you want to find another lover at this time, it is not impossible. ”

Xiao Yi sighed: "Aunt Tingfang, I know you have good intentions, but in this case, don't say it again." The so-called shameful life, since it is fate, I don't want to harm others again. ”

Ting Fang said earnestly: "After the Battle of Wucheng, King Zhao became famous in Kyushu and was a hero. I heard that he is about the same age as His Royal Highness King Huai, but the harem is still empty...... Is he really as ugly and terrible as he is rumored? ”

Xiao Yi patted Tingfang's hand and said helplessly: "This is not like what you can think of. Aunt Su Rui is really ...... She's old, and I'm no longer her dancing girl, why is she still thinking about selling me? ”

Tingfang lowered his head and said, "Su Rui is also for the good of his wife." In fact, she has told me many times in private, but Madame has always been sad about the affairs of King Qi and King Wei, and it is inconvenient for me to mention this matter to Madame. Today, Fengfeng's aunt is gone, and I don't know how long the business of the embroidery workshop can last, so I simply talked to my wife. ”

Xiao Yi said: "There are still four of us in the embroidery workshop, how can we not maintain it?" ”

Tingfang sighed: "Didn't Madam notice that Su Rui's eyes couldn't see clearly?" After the winter of last year, my hands were not very obedient. The two of us couldn't embroider those complicated patterns anymore. Feng Feng is still young, we have all seen her embroidery work, and she is really not talented. Could it be that the business of the embroidery workshop should be maintained by the lady alone? ”

Xiao Yi held Tingfang's hand and said warmly, "Why did my aunt tell me now?" Then let's stop doing the embroidery business, move out of Zhao Palace, and move back to a small farmhouse on the outskirts of the city? ”

Tingfang said: "Madame has been planting the land for 20 years, why go back to the farmhouse to live a hard life? What's more, the farmhouse has been rented to someone else, and it will be a trouble to go back again. Listening to Su Rui, Xiaoxiang Garden is recruiting luthiers at a high price to play music for the dancing girls. Everyone knows that the princess of Qi is five years old and good at the qin, why don't you go to Xiaoxiang Garden to try such an easier livelihood? ”
