002 The Eve of Parting
After the two of them sat down, they saw that the person who came took off their cloaks, smiled at General Li, and said, "The general has always been good!" ”
"Grandpa Deng! The mountains and rivers are far away, why did you come all the way to me? General Li asked with a forced smile, and personally poured a cup of tea for the visitor.
This father-in-law Deng took the tea from General Li's hand in a big way, took a sip, somehow spit the tea on the ground, and then put down the tea cup.
"The water here is really unpalatable, and I'm not here for tea."
General Li secretly looked at the face of Gonggong Deng, and saw that he didn't have a trace of smile at all, so he hurriedly smiled, and then said: "Father-in-law, you are really more and more able to laugh, please make it clear." ”
"The Queen Mother has been a little upset recently, saying that she is also a few years old, and she is always thinking about the old things in the past, and no one knows anyone to talk to, so she thought of you, the general, and said that she wanted to bother you to go back to Beijing and talk to her. Therefore, he ordered the miscellaneous family to go on this trip and personally asked General Li to return to Kyoto to reminisce about the past. ”
"However, now he is a foreign minister, and he has no will, so he enters Beijing without permission......"
"Why, isn't the Queen Mother's edict a decree? Or do you think that Lord Li doesn't need to do anything for the Queen Mother now? Although this father-in-law Deng still had a smile on his face, his tone was already full of threats.
"Whatever my father-in-law said, I can't afford to blame him like this. I don't know when the Queen Mother will get up? ”
"Get up now."
"What a hurry! Father-in-law, you must have seen it when you came, this mountain is long and the water is short, and the road at night is not easy to walk! ”
Deng Gonggong thought about it, and it was true, along the way, he really choked himself enough.
"Tomorrow morning, then."
Although General Li still wanted to delay some time so that he could send someone into Beijing to take care of it, he thought that Gonggong Deng would not give himself such time to arrange, so he had to say: "Okay." ”
"The Queen Mother misses Lord Li too much, so as soon as the Miscellaneous Family sees Lord Li, she will immediately return to Beijing with you. Also, bring your lady with you. The Queen Mother said that Miss Li has been outside the plug for a long time, and she has lost her child, so she must not take care of her. General Li has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has also made meritorious contributions to the country, so he can't be wronged by Miss Li. Let him bring his daughter to the palace, and he will also be a companion with King Zhen. ”
"Oh, the Queen Mother is sympathetic to Wei Chen." Hearing this, Li Wanling knew that this time she entered Beijing, she was afraid that it would be very dangerous, but she still replied with a smile, "It's just that the little girl has lived outside the city for a long time, and her wild nature is untamable, which frightened the queen mother and the prince, and during the day today, she was almost injured by a horse, so I am afraid that I will not be able to ......travel with my father-in-law for the time being."
"General Li doesn't have to excuse much, the Queen Mother's mind has been decided. If you want to pass it on, that's it. I also asked Lord Li and Miss Li to make some preparations overnight, oh, by the way, Lord Li, the Queen Mother also asked me to convey a sentence, Miss Jinqin is very good now, please don't worry, when you return to Beijing, there will be a time to meet. ”
"But ......"
"Don't be, the miscellaneous family is also lacking, please ask the general to arrange a place for the miscellaneous family."
As he spoke, Gonggong Deng stood up.
General Li walked a few steps to the tent door and said outside: "Come on, prepare a tent for the secret envoy to rest." ”
"I'm tired." At this time, Gonggong Deng had already put on his cloak again, and then walked away with the sergeant with his entourage.
After General Li watched Gonggong Deng and his entourage move away, he and Xiu Fei turned around and returned to their tent, General Li sat at the table, talking secretly.
"General, what's the matter?" Xiu Fei walked in, poured a cup of tea for General Li, handed it to his hand and asked.
General Li sat on a chair and asked in a low voice, "Xiufei, who are the people in your family?" ”
"Now I'm alone, I don't have any relatives." Xiu Fei replied.
"Haven't you ever thought about getting another wife?"
"When the clumsy Jing dies, his subordinates have no intention of remarrying." Xiu Fei replied.
Li Wanling looked up at the young sergeant standing in front of him, smiled bitterly, and said, "I have always known that you are loyal to me and do things neatly, but I didn't expect that you are also an infatuated person!" As he spoke, he picked up his pen, wrote a few words on the paper, handed it to Xiu Fei, and continued, "Tomorrow, I will bring a few retinues to Beijing, but you stay here." If I do not return within a month and do not write to you, then you should go to the person at the address above. ”
"General, you are ......"
"Do you remember what was written on it?"
Xiu Fei nodded, and General Li took the note back, lit it with fire, and turned it into ashes. Then he took off the jade pei with the pattern of "Five Blessings and Longevity" from himself, handed it to Xiu Fei, and said, "Take this, and that person will know that you were sent by me." Then, you stay with her and protect her. ”
Xiu Fei looked at General Li's expression and knew that this matter was very important, but he didn't say anything more, just nodded to the general and put Yu Pei away.
Li Wanling sighed, got up and left the tent, and walked towards Hexuan's tent.
When standing outside Hexuan's tent, Hexuan was learning Xiao, intermittently, blowing a few dissonant scales, Li Wanling stood outside and smiled, but he didn't feel sad, he shook his head, picked up the curtain and walked in.
"Dad, I'm learning Xiao from Master. Did you just hear that? As soon as Hexuan saw her father walk in, she ran over happily and asked with a smile.
"I heard it, it seems that the kitten who was choked by the neck is barking...... Li Wanling said jokingly.
"Daddy!" He Xuan shook Li Wanling's arm coquettishly, and then said, "Sooner or later, one day, I will blow as well as Master." You wait. When the time comes, it will be up to you to praise me. ”
"When you can be half as powerful as Mr. Tao, I will praise you."
Tao Yizhi saw General Li, although there was a smile on his face, but his brows were tightly locked, so he asked: "Just now, I vaguely heard that a secret envoy from Kyoto came to the camp, is there something wrong?" ”
"Oh...... Dowager...... The Queen Mother summoned me to Beijing. And let me bring Hexuan. ”
"Really? Are we going to Kyoto? He Xuan asked with a smile.
"Do you want to go?" General Li asked.
"Yes. I haven't been to Kyoto yet. When are we going? ”
"Tomorrow!"
"In such a hurry?" Tao Yizhi asked with a frown.
"yes." General Li said meaningfully, and then, he looked at his daughter, who was full of joy, and said with a smile, "However, I remember that there are still people who are being punished." So, tomorrow for the father first, seven days later, you and Mr. Tao again. Dad can only play with you after finishing his business in Kyoto. ”
At first, Hexuan was a little unhappy when she heard that she couldn't walk with her father, but when she heard that her father would play with her after handling business, the little unhappiness just now quickly disappeared from Hexuan's eyes.
"Good. I listen to my father. When I go to Kyoto to see you, I'm sure I'll be able to play a tune for you. Definitely not like a cat barking ......."
"Good. Deal. Tomorrow Dad has to get up early to travel, and Dad has to go back first. Blow it tomorrow, or you'll be attracted to the wild cats around here. ”
With that, General Li stood up, and Tao Yizhi also left the camp with him.
After leaving Hexuan's tent a little farther away, Tao Yizhi said: "The general's trip seems to be a ferocious and abnormal. ”
Li Wanling looked at Tao Yizhi, smiled and said, "It seems that I still haven't been able to be as happy and angry as Mr. You're right, this line of work is just a lot of bad luck. There is a reluctant request below, please ...... sir"
"If the general has anything to do, please speak up."
"The only thing I'm not worried about now is Hexuan's child, if Mr. doesn't give up, please take care of one or two for me."
"Then do you want to take her into Beijing?"
"Yes. In case my worries are a little unnecessary, or if I can escape from the Ascension, I don't want to lose my trust in her. ”
"But if ......"
"If it's really as I expected, then take her to a safe place, change her name and surname, and keep her safe."
Speaking of this, Li Wanling suddenly knelt in front of Tao Yizhi.
Tao Yizhi was taken aback, and hurriedly grabbed General Li's arm and asked, "General, what are you doing!" ”
"All souls are fortunate to meet Mr. in this life. Although he didn't get along with Mr. for a long time, Mr. learned to make Wan Ling ashamed, and Mr. made Wan Ling admire. Wan Ling Rong Ma has long been out of the realm of life and death, only the little girl, which really reassures Zaixia......"
"General, don't worry. Miss's business is all on Tao. There is Tao one day, and Miss Self-Protection is worry-free for a day. ”
After a few small talks, Tao Yizhi said goodbye to Li Wanling and went back to his tent to rest first.
Li Wanling turned and walked towards a small hill that was not high, where there was a tomb.
Li Wanling sat next to the tomb, looking at the boundless grassland, thinking for a long time, he smiled calmly and whispered, "It's time to come." Ma'am, you're right. The things inside the royal gate, as long as they are a little stained, want to disconnect, but I'm afraid it's not easy. Madam, someone owes you so much in this life. However, if I want to return to Beijing this time, it is not far from the day of our reunion. It's been more than three years, and you're alone. The next time we meet, we don't have to chat through this steamed bun, your grievances, sadness, and sadness, this time you have to tell me, don't fight alone......"
Li Wanling sat here for a long time before standing up, but he did not go back to his camp, but entered Hexuan's camp.
Li Wanling has been guarding her daughter's bedside, holding her hand, helping her cover the quilt that she kicked open, listening to her whispers in her dreams, and watching her sleeping face......
General Li thought carefully about what his daughter was like when she was a child, but, at that time, it seemed that there was always a busy business, and he didn't even know when Hexuan would sit, walk, or talk, until after the death of his wife, this child could really be regarded as entering his sight, it turned out that he had missed so many things that could make him think about it and smile, thinking of these, Li Wanling naturally thought of his wife again, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh......
At this time, he suddenly heard an intermittent, whimpering sound in the distance, Li Wanling knew that this must be Tao Yizhi worrying about himself, this Xiao sound even Li Wanling, a person who does not understand the rhythm of music, can also hear the sadness in it, through the light moonlight sprinkled in the tent through the window, it makes people feel that it is cold tonight.
