Chapter 15: Dismounting
If you die young, you should die early, or are you not mentally prepared at all in full view of everyone............
Let's die, if you die, you are so ugly, it must have become the talk of these people after dinner.
Thinking of this, Ye Ruotang simply closed his eyes and protected his face tightly, even if he died, he had to die to look better, at least his face couldn't be spent.
But after a long time, Ye Ruotang didn't feel a trace of pain, but smelled a faint unknown smell.
When I opened one eye, I saw a man's face between my fingers.
The bridge of the nose is high, the thin lips are lightly pursed, and the sword eyebrows are starry, but the skin is a little dark, and it is estimated that the sun is a little too much.
and the perfect jawline, this man simply grew on Ye Ruotang's aesthetics.
Ye Ruotang looked a little distracted, and didn't come back to his senses until the man coughed.
Blurt out the phrase "Are you an angel?" ”
“..........”
The man didn't speak, and when he saw that the girl was okay, he gently put her on the ground.
The street that had just been silent suddenly became boiling again.
"General Ning Yuan, General Ning Yuan"
“...........”
Ye Ruotang was squeezed out of the crowd, and his brain seemed to have stopped thinking.
It wasn't until Lu Zhu and Lu Yan found her that Ye Ruotang really came back to his senses.
Oh my God, this man is too handsome, from today onwards, those Korean Obas are a fart, you are my male god.
Ye Ruotang jumped up and down, completely lost his image, and integrated into the group of almost crazy women, shouting loudly, "Male god, male god.........."
This made Lu Zhu and Lu Yan, who were standing on the side, suddenly dumbfounded, is this still their own eldest lady?
"But I'll just say it, General Ning Yuan is so good-looking, no one can resist it," Lu Zhu finished speaking, pulling Lu Yan and shouting together.
The entire streets of Nanxun were filled with the name of General Ning Yuan, and they could not disperse for a long time.
Inside the Royal Palace
In the imperial study, a man in a bright yellow dragon robe was seriously correcting the recital, and Gonggong Wei hurriedly walked in from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, General Ning Yuan has arrived"
The man put down the pen in his hand and looked out of the hall, "Where have you been?" ”
"I just came in from the east gate, but I was surrounded by the people, and it was difficult to move an inch."
"Oh~ It seems that this General Ning Yuan is far more loved by the people than me" The man's pupils opened slightly, and no expression could be seen on his calm face.
"The emperor is the king of a country, General Ning Yuan has lived at the border for a long time, and the people are just on a whim," the clothes behind Gonggong Wei were almost wet, and he said tremblingly.
"Okay, let's wait outside the palace"
"Yes"
An inexplicable smile appeared on the man's face, "It's been twelve years, and you're still back alive."
The pen on the jade case broke off in response.
***********
General Ning Yuan and his men and horses crossed the sea of people, and finally broke out of the encirclement, leaving the people far behind.
"Doesn't the general enter the palace?" Lu Min looked at the man's wrong direction and asked curiously.
The man threw a whip on the horse's buttocks, and the horse barked and ran faster.
"Okay, keep up" Ning Luoge saw it more clearly, "It's not easy to come back, naturally I went to see his mother first"
Lu Min patted his head violently, "What Dr. Ning said is, why didn't I think of it?" ”
The two quickened up and followed the man.
When he arrived at the imperial tomb, the man dismounted and walked in.
Lu Min and Ning Luoge could only wait outside, this imperial tomb was not a place for the two of them to enter.
After walking for a long time, the man finally found the tombstone of the queen mother at the end, gently wiped the dust from it with his hand, and knelt down straight, "The queen mother, the son is back"
It's been twelve years, it's been twelve years since I left Nanxun, how many times I dreamed back at midnight, the man could clearly see the face of his mother, she was smiling at herself, she was saying "Yan'er, let go of hatred"
But how can he let go of this hatred?
Scenes of the past emerged in front of him, the man had red eyes, clenched his fists and smashed heavily to the ground, "Queen Mother, don't worry, when I come back this time, I will ask for it twice"
Lu Min and Ning Luoge waited outside for a long time, until it was almost dark, and the man walked out of the imperial tomb.
It's just that Ning Luoge saw the clue and took out a piece of gauze from the medicine box, "General, are you injured?" ”
I was trying to bandage the man, but the man avoided "nothing"
The man got on his horse, and the two followed closely behind and headed for the palace.
Gonggong Wei and his entourage waited at the gate of the palace for a long time and did not see General Ning Yuan, and they couldn't help but be a little flustered, and it happened that the second prince Yuxuan came.
"The Second Prince"
"Father-in-law Wei, hasn't the imperial uncle arrived yet?"
Father-in-law Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Not yet"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves.
Yu Xuan's eyes lit up, "It's coming"
Sure enough, here it is.
"Uncle Huang" Yu Xuan greeted him.
The man patted his head, "Xuan'er has grown taller"
"I haven't seen you for a few years, but Uncle Huang is getting more and more handsome and chic"
"You're good at your poor mouth."
“.............”
"General Ning Yuan, the emperor is already waiting in the palace" This General Ning Yuan finally came, and he must not be delayed any longer, Gonggong Wei had no choice but to interrupt the conversation between the two.
Yu Xuan didn't say anything else, "Uncle Huang, I'll prepare the wine and go to the mansion to find you later."
"Good"
The man followed Gonggong Wei into the palace.
When they arrived at the Xuanwu Palace, Lu Min and Ning Luoge could only wait outside, and the man walked in alone.
There was a person sitting high on the dragon chair, and when he saw someone coming, he greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Brother Huang, I can be regarded as looking forward to you back"
The man knelt on the ground expressionlessly, "The last general will see the emperor"
"Hey, there are only you and me here, you don't have to be formal" The emperor walked over and wanted to help the man up, but the man dodged him.
The emperor's hand raised in mid-air was a little embarrassed, and the smile on his face stiffened for a moment, and the scene was a little embarrassing.
"Brother Huang, you haven't eaten yet, I asked the imperial dining room to prepare your favorite dishes"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, it's just that the last general has been tired all the way and wants to go back to the house to rest."
“............”
"This Mu Mansion has been abandoned for a long time, and when I ask someone to clean it up tomorrow, you will live in the palace tonight."
"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, but the last general has some beds, I'm afraid that the bed in the palace is too soft and I can't get used to sleeping" The man rejected the emperor again and again, making the emperor's face a little unbearable.
The emperor's face is not like a smile just now, "I know you hate me"
The man didn't seem to expect him to say this, "The last general won't dare"
"You and I are brothers, do you have to be like this?"
The man looked at the emperor coldly, does it have to be like this? Heh, what a joke.
"Your Majesty, the last general will retire first"
On the main hall, only a heroic back is left.
The emperor behind him stood with his hands in his hands, and his face sank little by little, "Mu-Yu-Yan"
............
Behind a stone statue outside the palace, a young girl was hiding, staring motionless at the palace gate.
The two maids who had just followed had disappeared.
Half an hour later, the palace door slowly opened, and three people came out, and the girl recognized the figure at a glance.
Sure enough, handsome people are handsome in every move.
Mu Yuyan and his party got on their horses and headed in the direction of the east of the city.
General Ning Yuan, Mu Yuyan, Chengdong Mufu.
This is what Midori told her before leaving.
The girl straightened up and patted the flowers stained under her skirt, "General Ning Yuan, we will have a period later."
With that, he jumped and walked towards the south of the city.
*********
It was already dark, and the three of them arrived at Mufu, pushed the door in, and coughed in a puff of dust.
"General, why don't we stay at the guest house, and wait for someone to clean up tomorrow, there is no way to live in it now" Lu Min said with his mouth and nose covered.
Mu Yuyan walked straight in, the yard was already overgrown with withered grass, and all corners were covered with cobwebs, as if announcing that there had been no one living here for a long time.
Ning Luoge looked around, "Otherwise, let's simply clean up first."
Lu Min was reluctant: "We have all been on the road for a day"
Ning Luoge secretly pulled the corner of his clothes, and said in a low voice, "You just don't say a few words, the general hasn't come back for a long time, where is the reason to go out and live at home?" ”
Lu Min closed his mouth at this time, and found a clean place to put his luggage, "Let's clean up a room and live in it first, and then repair it tomorrow."
Due to the long period of unoccupied, some of the walls have cracks, and the moss crawls everywhere wantonly.
Mu Yuyan didn't speak, but seemed to agree.
Lu Min and Ning Luoge chose a larger room and began to clean up, and it was estimated that they were barely packed up in the second half of the night, put the luggage away, and Lu Min went to the yard to pick up some dead branches and started a fire, which warmed up.
Mu Yuyan went to the backyard where he used to practice swords, as if nothing had changed, as if those things happened yesterday.
The queen mother is still there, and she is also .........
Mu Yuyan went to the room where the queen mother once lived, which was less gray than the other rooms, found a stool and sat down, and looked around.
"Yan'er, slow down"
"Yan'er, come here, the queen mother made your favorite osmanthus cake"
"Yan'er, do you like the new clothes that the queen mother made for you?"
“...........”
Scenes of the past emerged in front of him, Mu Yuyan's eyes were red, and his hands were clenched tightly, he could have been like ordinary people, they ruined it all with their own hands, and now that he is back, none of the people who have hurt him don't want to run.
Suddenly, he heard something moving outside the house, and the man touched the soft sword on his waist to look outside the house.
"Uncle Huang, it's me" was Yu Xuan's voice, and the man let go of the soft sword and walked outside.
"Uncle Huang, let's go" Yu Xuan raised the two jars of wine in his hand, and flew onto the roof with a light tiptoe.
The moon is a little fuller tonight, and the moonlight is still a little dim.
Mu Yuyan followed closely and found a roof with better lighting to sit on left and right.
Yuxuan threw a jar of wine to the man, "Uncle Huang, your favorite daughter Hong, I haven't been willing to drink it for a long time, so I'm waiting for you to come back."
The man caught it steadily, opened it gently, and the smell of wine came to his face, and he poured a sip of "good wine".
"That's natural, this is made by the most famous winemaker in Nanxun, I've been looking for it for a long time" Yuxuan also took a sip and smiled a little proudly.
"Uncle Huang, what are your plans to return to Nanxun this time?"
"Plans? What can I do?"
Yu Xuan has some understanding, "Uncle Huang never does anything unprepared"
Mu Yuyan stared at Yuxuan with some meaning, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Father has summoned you back to Nanxun many times, but you have refused, why did you ........ this time" Yu Xuan looked at him with a sly expression.
"The Southern Turks were defeated, and I am afraid that they will have to recuperate for a few years"
"I'm afraid that's not a reason."
"Then what did you tell me about coming back?" The man's dark eyes stared at Yu Xuan.
"The Prince's Affair .........."
