There are two major branches of the Yue family in the capital, the Yue family in the north of the city is the hairpin family, the generation is the general, the town guards the border pass, and the people who stay in the capital are all female dependents. The older of the female dependents still stuck to their homes, and those who were widowed at a young age remarried to the side family after three years. As for the children, as long as they are boys and reach the age of ten, they are also sent to the frontier military camp to learn martial arts and fight with their father and brother.

The Yue family in the south of the city is Yue Xu's family, and they are Wenchen, and they have a stable position in Beijing. In the past, when people in the world mentioned the Yue family in the capital, most of them referred to the Yue family in the north of the city, which was heroic and enthusiastic to guard the country.

But gradually, there was only one general left in the Yue family in the north of the city, and the female dependents who stayed behind were low-key and unwilling to show up, and people lived in peace for a long time, so they no longer remembered those warriors on the frontier, and the military general Yue's family was gradually forgotten and even neglected by the world.

Today, the gate of the capital is still lively and noisy, and it looks no different from usual, but it is a little different.

The ladies of the Yue family, who had never appeared in front of everyone, were all dressed in sackcloth and waited at the city gate, and when the city gate opened, they poured out of the city gate with solemn faces, and they did not go far, only guarding the side of the gate.

"Go, go, don't get in the way here." Some of the young guards guarding the gates, who did not know the women, went forward and drove them away.

"Forget it, let them be there." The old defenders came to dissuade them.

"Who are they?" The young guard was puzzled: "Who is this for?" Bad luck! ”

"Don't you know that the remains of General Yue in Northern Xinjiang have returned to Beijing today? These are all members of the Yue family. The old man still looked respectful when he mentioned the Yue family.

The young guard pursed his lips and said, I only know that today is the day when the young master of the Ministry of Shangshu Xu returns to the city from Jiangnan to hunt for the treasure of the imperial concubine, and after speaking, he quietly pointed to a few ministers of the court and the central government who were standing with their hands rubbing their hands and waiting carefully, these are not all adults waiting to welcome the young master of the Xu family into the city.

The old man looked at it, there were a lot, and pointed to the young man in green clothes riding a tall horse next to the carriage over there, and muttered: "Lord Yuan, who is connected to the political secretary, is also here, in this capital, the Xu family is really powerful and monstrous, and everyone worships it......"

At three o'clock in the morning, someone rode back from the official road in the south to report: "The young master of the Xu family's car is about to arrive, and the young master said that it takes an auspicious time to show his sincerity when he offers treasures. ”

This young master of the Xu family is stubborn in Su Ri, but he is most loved by his aunt Xu Huang Guifei. The defenders of the city hurriedly dispersed the ordinary people who entered and exited the city gate, leaving a road, for fear of missing the auspicious time.

Not long after, the car in the south has not yet arrived, only to see the official road in the north, a plain pickaxe, the big Yue character in the air silent, only hear the sound of sorrow.

The procession of sending the bones gradually approached the city gate, and the leader holding the general's tablet was a boy only thirteen or fourteen years old. The young man is also surnamed Yue, and he is the only nephew of General Yue, and he is also the last remaining vein of the gate of the Yue clan in Beicheng.

Although he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, he has a calm and solemn air between his eyebrows, and he has experienced decisive killing on the battlefield at a young age, which is different from these pampered sons and brothers in the capital.

"Sir, but General Yue's bones have arrived?" On the carriage beside Yuan Zhiheng, King Gong was sitting. When he heard the bad news in the palace last night, he couldn't care about what the queen had been teaching him to be patient, and ran to his husband in one breath. He was indescribably depressed in his heart, Yuan Zhiheng, as the prince's teacher, talked to him for half the night to enlighten, and now he is more and more dependent on Mr.

"Yes" Yuan Zhiheng got off the horse, he took it upon himself to bring King Gong to the city gate to welcome, presumably the above few people will not be happy, but last night he put King Gong with tears in his eyes and he counted the hard work of the generals who died in the northern Xinjiang, and then talked about the situation of the foreign relatives in the court now covering the sky with one hand, and the people wantonly building temples and mobilizing the people. With such a disregard look, there was no forbearance and depression in Su Ri, and he only said that Yuan Zhiheng's heart was surging.

King Gong is not ignorant of everything, he has a good temperament, a deep heart, and a heart for the world, but he can't do anything. When the queen first ascended the throne, the queen family also ascended to the sky like the Xu family, and even helped the saint win the throne. But when the saint was full-fledged, he quietly eradicated the hundred-year-old clan step by step, and the rest were all surviving, and how could they compete with the Xu family.

Since ancient times, the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked, and the queen is also well aware of the reason, and now their mother and son are content with just saving their lives. It was because King Gong was taught by the queen to hide clumsy, to be patient, not to compete with King Qi, and rarely showed intimacy in front of the emperor, and King Gong was more afraid in the face of the emperor.

"Your Highness, would you like to come down and take a look at General Yue's coffin?" Yuan Zhiheng said softly.

King Gong was a little hesitant, there were many court officials present, if he got off the carriage, he would inevitably be seen. As the prince, he personally went out of the city to greet General Yue, and in the eyes of those who have a heart, it is a party and a reputation.

Yuan Zhiheng knew that he had been too cautious since he was a child, and at this time he was hesitating again, and he no longer urged.

At this time, the daughters of the Yue family had already rushed up, holding General Yue's coffin and crying, and the voice of grief caused the wind and clouds to change, and the sky was gloomy.

Yue Yao held his uncle's tablet in his hand, his face was solemn, he walked under the city gate, raised his hand and whispered to stop.

The soldiers who supported the spirit in the back gently lowered the coffin.

"This ......" Several guards guarding the city looked at each other, and were a little impatient, how could this stop, seeing that the young master of the Xu family's car was about to arrive.

A treasure offering is a happy event, and a gift is a funeral, and if this joy and mourning are encountered, it is unlucky.

"It's time to enter the city!" Yue Yao said in a deep voice.

"Tatsu ...... Hour...... That's not going to work! The defender of the city stepped forward in horror, and said that there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from the south, and a group of men and horses approached the city gate.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The young master returns to the city to offer treasure! Get out of the way! The first man at the head of the horse team threw his whip to both sides, and the people around him avoided it, and some of them were trampled under the horse's hooves before they could avoid it, but no one dared to say a word. Green

Several horse guards with martial arts scattered on both sides, and the middle one rode a sweaty and bloody horse, on top was a young man with raised cheekbones and a proud face, wearing a white hairpin silver-winged king hat on his head, a palace brocade robe, and a jasper accessory around his waist worth a thousand gold.

"Someone is standing in the way of the city gates, bad luck! It's really looking for death! When the young master of the Xu family got closer, he realized that this seemed to be a pair of funeral processions, and his face immediately turned cold.

"Young Master, that's the coffin of General Yue of Northern Xinjiang......" his entourage next to him reminded in a small voice.

"Which General Yue?" The young master of the Xu family sneered: "Aren't the Yue family all Wenchen, how come there is a general." ”

"The young master is the Yue family in Beicheng." The attendant said again.

"The Yue family in Beicheng? Aren't they all dead? The little master of the Xu family was on the horse, and his voice did not avoid people, and it reached the ears of everyone in front of him, and everyone clenched their sleeves, eager to kill this kid who was full of nonsense.

"Don't do much." Yue Yao said calmly.

The young master of the Xu family waited until the back, and impatiently greeted the city guard: "Send them into the city, don't miss the auspicious time of the young master, go quickly!" ”

The defender of the city had to go to Yue Yao with a sad face, and begged: "Little general, please hurry up the capital, the young master of the Xu family must not be offended!" ”

Yue Yao was unmoved:

"It's time to enter the city!"

Both sides have to enter the city at the right time, which is not neat, and the city is as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Seeing that it was just the right moment, Yue Yao's side was still moving, and the little master of the Xu family began to be restless:

"Since they won't go into the city, give them a good look!"

Yuan Zhiheng saw that it was not good, Diancui and Sister Ci were helping the old lady who had returned home to help the spirit among the daughters of the Yue family. Yuan Zhiheng quickly got off the horse, and before he had time to say hello to King Gong, he entered the crowd to look for Diancui and them.

The young master of the Xu family over there and the entourage of the guards also began to move, and directly rode their horses into the team of the Yue family's coffin.

The soldiers who returned with the coffin were all the soldiers under General Yue in front of him, and when they saw this posture, where could they tolerate these yellow-mouthed children, even if they wanted to do it.

"Don't act rashly, hold the general's coffin!"

As soon as Yue Yao gave the order, they immediately stood in place as solid as a rock, letting the horse's hooves spread in front of them, and the people of the Xu family pointed their noses and scolded them to get out of the way. Yue Yao put his uncle's spiritual position in his grandmother's hand, turned around, and stretched out his hand, and the deputy general next to him presented a long tassel gun.

Yue Yao held a spear in his hand and jumped in front of the Yue family soldiers who were supporting the spirit.

A servant of the Xu family stepped forward to provoke, and with a flick of his spear, he pulled the person off the horse alive, and fell to the ground with a snap, not even moving, as if he was dead.

The officials who greeted the young master of the Xu family couldn't help but be dumbfounded, Yuan Zhiheng took advantage of the time to find Diancui and them, protected them behind him, and then whispered to persuade the daughters of the Yue family to avoid them.

"Thank you Lord Yuan for your kindness, there is no one in the Yue family who is afraid of death." The old lady of the Yue family held her son's tablet and said with a calm face.

"Yes, Brother Heng'er, don't worry about it, take them to the back, don't be scared when Sister Ci'er is young." The old lady who returned home stood beside her sister-in-law and urged Yuan Zhiheng to take Diancui and Sister Ci away, but she didn't leave.

"If my great-grandmother doesn't leave, neither will I." Sister Ci hugged the old lady's leg and firmly said that she was not afraid.

Diancui nodded at Yuan Zhiheng, and Yuan Zhiheng pulled out the saber at his waist.

"Arrogant boy, look for death!" The young master of the Xu family snorted coldly, and was about to swing the whip in his hand.

"Young master, no, let's go to the city first, don't miss the auspicious time." The person next to the young master of the Xu family reminded that these people from the Yue family naturally want them to look good in the future, and it is a big deal to offer treasures today.

The young master of the Xu family snorted coldly, clamped the horse's belly, and the sweaty and bloody horse roared, and the horse's hooves rose into the air, crossing the coffin alive and heading towards the city gate.

The young master of the Xu family laughed, turned his head to look at the white pickaxe behind him, and was extremely proud. Gesturing to the guards of the Xu family, the guards rushed towards Yue Yao with their swords, Yue Yao had a long tasseled spear in his hand, and they couldn't get close for a while.

Who knew that the young master of the Xu family, who had passed the city gate, felt puzzled, turned back again, bent down to untie one of his riding boots, raised his hand and threw it, and the riding boots came towards General Yue's coffin.
