CHAPTER XLIV
"That room..."Shang Si's eyes widened, looking up and down, and he hesitated, "How big is that room?" How many bedrooms? ”
Xu San looked back at the house, knowing that Shang Si had always been pampered, so he never got angry, "Two, one east and one west, two beds, I sleep with Yao Ji in the east, and you and Li Da sleep in the west." ”
"Me and Li Da sleep in the same bed?"
Shang Si's eyes widened, knowing that the environment was not good, but he didn't know that it was so bad, how could he sleep in a small room and a bed?
"Is there an inn here?"
"Nope." Xu San shook his head frankly, picked up the cash box and went to the house, "You two wait, I'll put my things in the house, it's a remote place, there are many petty thefts, I have to put it away." ”
"Uh... Hmm..."Shang Si responded casually absentmindedly, he had already stepped into the field, and it seemed that he would not be surprised or surprised if Xu San said anything more.
After Xu San came out, Shang Siyu hesitated and said, "Go back?" This place is somewhat... Go back and admit your mistake, and you'll be fine... And grandmother is thinking about you..."
Xu San thought for a while and said, "Did anyone follow you when you came?"
Shang Si was stunned, and looked at Li Da puzzled, not knowing what Xu San meant by this.
"No, my monk came to the secret, didn't say anything, left a letter, just said it. No one should be following. Li Da thought about it and said firmly.
"Hmm... That's good. Xu San groaned: "Then wait a little longer, wait for the limelight to pass, and then talk."
"It's not!" Hearing Xu San's answer, Shang Si was anxious, "It's already like this, grandmother has also spoken, as long as you go back, she will not blame the past, and she can even fulfill you and Yaoji, in this case, what are you still stubborn about?" ”
Xu San looked in the direction of the door, the low wall, standing farther away, and even skimming the wall to see farther away.
"Grandmother has always loved me, and it is not surprising that she can say so, but the old fellow is not so easy, wait until the limelight is over, and then consider going back."
Shang Si choked, not knowing how to persuade him, indeed, Uncle Xu was really the most difficult level.
Really, wait?
Shang Si didn't understand the persuasion, so he threw a look at Li Datou for help.
Li Da pondered for a moment and said: "Uncle has a grandmother, even if Uncle is angry, he will be able to pass the grandmother's level, if you really hesitate, or wait a few more days, have had enough fun, and then go back?"
Xu Sanguaner smiled, patted Li Da on the shoulder, and did not answer his question directly, but diverted the topic and said, "By the way, how is Chang'an?"
"What else..."Shang Si pursed his lips and replied first: "That's it, without you, I will always feel that something is missing when I drink in the future, and I will be empty."
"It's fine." Li Da said: "Chang'an is still like that, the prosperity is still the same, the royal family is constantly fighting, and the ministers in the court are panicking. Xu San, you really don't plan to go back now? ”
"Nope."
Xu Sanwaner refused and shook his head.
When it was dark, Yao Ji hurried home, as Xu San said, a simple meal, posted a secret word in the courtyard, and worshiped heaven and earth, so it was a big wedding.
Shang Si and Li Da left at noon after the night, and Xu San sent the two out of the small city, and did not return until the carriage was gone. In the blink of an eye, it was half a month, the emperor was critically ill, but the position of the crown prince was not established, and the princes went their separate camps, conspiring with the ministers of the court.
Xu San has four books, with Yao Ji turned back, it has been almost two months since he left, back to the house, the grandmother of the Xu family missed the disaster, saw Xu San come back, cried bitterly, immediately, the master for Xu San became a marriage, grandmother is like this, the head of the Xu family can not do anything, the face is not good to drink the wine, and hurriedly left the table.
Not long after, news came from the palace that the emperor was critically ill and had no cure, and he was afraid that he would not survive the next morning.
For a time, both the outside and the inside were in turmoil, a night of bloody rain, and the result finally came from the many sons to seize the throne, the six princes ascended the throne, and Chang'an City returned to its former tranquility.
"So that's your story?"
The spirit sat lazily at the long table in the wine shop, holding her daughter red in her hand, and asked casually.
The man across from him took a sip of wine and said "um".
"A boring story." The spirit concluded, "So... Do you know what lonely ghosts come here? ”
The man smiled, "I know... There is an obsession in my heart, and I can't enter the ghost of reincarnation..."
"yes... A ghost who can't enter reincarnation... Then you—" The soul laughed drunkenly, and pointed at the man, "What are your obsessions?" ”
"Obsession," the man laughed with a whimsical smile, "This story is not over yet."
"Not finished?" The soul was stunned, and then giggled again, "The new emperor has ascended the throne, the world is peaceful, what else do you have to say?" After all, it's not your two brothers who were born, old, sick and died, that you formed an obsession, right? ”
"Not really." The man shook his head, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, will not be like this below." ”
The spirit took a few sips of wine, "In that case, what is it?" ”
The man sighed lightly, put down the wine glass, rubbed the mouth of the glass, and his eyes gradually blurred, "This has to start with the seizure of the throne, after the emperor was critically ill, the queen quickly blocked the news, Concubine Lan risked the danger to send a message to the Shang family to ask for help, and the Shang family went to the Xu family to ask for troops to surround the palace, until the emperor died of illness and the fourth prince ascended the throne." But I didn't want to, the Xu family secretly sent troops to surround the palace but fell into a trap, and the soldiers and horses had already been ambushed in the palace, just waiting for the arrival of the Xu family's army to catch them all.
The Xu family army was not annihilated in the wall, the four princes were also killed, the Shang family got the news and wanted to escape, but it was a step too late, overnight, the door was full of beheading, early in the morning, the emperor died of illness, the soldiers and horses of the six princes surrounded the palace, took out a forged holy decree to ascend the throne, after the six princes ascended the throne, they ordered the killing of the nine clans of the Xu family, the reason was rebellion.
Although the Xu family has been a general for generations, the soldiers and horses are far away from the pass, and the distant water cannot save the near fire, and when the soldiers and horses turn back, the Xu family has been killed by the nine clans. ”
The soul frowned, but he didn't expect such a story, "So Shang Fourth Prince and Xu Third Prince are dead?" What about Mr. Li? ”
"Master Hou once saved the six princes, and the six princes are grateful. He saved the daughter and son-in-law of the Hou Ye and spared them the death penalty, but he could not return to Chang'an for the rest of his life. And the third prince Xu did not have such good luck, the new emperor was afraid that the Xu family was a master and had helped the fourth prince, which would be unfavorable to him in the future. So he took the risk of slaughtering the Xu family.
As for the eldest son of Li, he did not enter the office in his life, and after three years, he was depressed in his heart and depressed. ”
The soul sighed lightly: "The three of them don't have a good ending... What are your obsessions... The story has been told for too long, and the wine is running out. ”
The man looked at the rest of his daughter's red face reflected in the vicissitudes of his life at the bottom of the wine glass, and it seemed that he had been wandering in this world for a long, long time...
"The Shang Xu family is loyal to the four princes, and the Li family is also loyal to the four princes on the surface but secretly obeys the orders of the six princes, so they installed a spies who were destroyed in the Xu family, and it was also this spy that the six princes could easily ambush and kill the Xu family's army.
And the following is Li Da in the story..."Bailu, the latest chapter of "Crossing the Soul Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
