Chapter 128: Entering the Palace (1)
Five or six miles outside Chang'an, there are several villages, and near these villages is a cemetery, where people often mourn the deceased on special days.
The burial ground of these ordinary people will not have anything of value in it, and naturally there is no need for a tomb keeper, but there is a low wooden house nearby, barely sheltered from the wind and rain, and an old man who guards the tomb lives in it.
He didn't know when he was here, probably remembering his deceased wife many years ago. Until now, living here has become a kind of leisure to spend the rest of your life in your old age.
He has sons and daughters, and grandchildren, all of whom have hands and feet, and he can't do it anymore with him. The children and grandchildren just took turns visiting him every day.
The surrounding villagers also often came to see him, talk to him, and send some things, and he did not refuse to come and go.
I don't know when, there is an old woman here, the old woman is very strange, her movements are very quick, like a young woman, her eyes are also full of essence, and the old man in his twilight years is completely different.
Probably only she knew that she was approaching forty years old, and that a few years ago, when she was younger, she had aged almost overnight.
The old man didn't know her past, but he knew her real age, and he couldn't help but feel pity for the old man, she was half of his daughter, so he took her in.
She walked around the cemetery in the wind and snow, and found it interesting to straighten the tombstones that had become crooked because of the departure of relatives or the decline of the family.
No matter what the past of the person who has been sleeping for a long time is no longer important.
On the winding path in the distance, a man riding a horse, approaching slowly, the scene in the wind and snow looks like it has a very special charm.
Snowflakes fell on his shoulders, like servants of the wind and dust coming from a distant frontier.
He watched the scene of the woman trying to straighten the tombstone, and felt that it was very warm, it was a kind of moving in life, so he smiled.
But he thought of his current situation and what he had to do next, and his smile faded and he sighed.
The woman gradually heard a faint voice, and looked over to him, and when she saw him, she could not help but be stunned.
Then she smiled a little happily and asked softly, "Your Majesty let you out?" ”
Guan Kuo nodded, got down from Wuji's back, and said, "Yes, let me out, but those little beasts don't have such good things, and they are all locked up one by one." ”
The woman's expression was slightly depressed for a moment, she lowered her head, and said softly, "It's a pity that there won't be that little beast surnamed Bai in there." ”
Hearing her words, Guan Kuo said: "You can't say that, I have good news for you." ”
The woman looked up into his eyes and asked, "What good news?" ”
"The time has come to avenge your daughter."
The light in the woman's eyes suddenly flourished, and all the tenderness and safety before were gone, and what remained was the long-lasting monstrous cruelty.
"I ...... ......She could feel that Guan Kuo was serious, but she really couldn't figure out what he was going to do.
"You may have heard of some scenes in Chang'an now, but you don't know it very well."
Guan Kuo walked up to her and helped her straighten the suspended work, the tombstone.
"Now is the perfect opportunity, in the past, I didn't have the strength to put down them, but now, presumably many people who want to kill them are not enough, Your Majesty must also be looking for their long-standing crimes, if the limelight passes, Your Majesty's anger also disappears, and the ability of the Chang'an provinces begins to show, it will become difficult."
The woman smiled, "Thank you." ”
Guan Kuo shook his head.
"I'm for your daughter, and it's also for myself, they killed me, I can't bear it all the time, I decided to take the initiative."
As he spoke, he stroked Qin Kill on his waist, and the whole person showed an awe-inspiring momentum.
The woman didn't seem to care about his honesty and said, "I don't care about this, I just know that you have to help me and my daughter, and that is enough." ”
Her daughter has been dead for many years, and her words today seem to be by her side.
Guan Kuo greeted, walked over slowly, and lowered his horse's head.
"I'll help you get on the horse." He said.
The woman seemed a little surprised and overwhelmed: "I...... Just follow you. ”
"The road to revenge is long, do it and cherish it, time waits for no one." Pipe Broad Road.
He grabbed the woman's hand, took her by the waist, and lifted her embarrassed onto the back of the Traceless Body.
Her hands were rough but gentle, and her waist was still slender.
"Your daughter must be a very beautiful girl." Guan Kuo said.
The woman's nose was a little sour, and she said, "Thank you." ”
Guan Kuo jumped lightly, got on horseback, and according to the woman's request, came to the front of the cabin, said goodbye to the old man who was very surprised inside, and went away against the wind and snow.
Five or six miles, no trace is very fast, very stable, and it will arrive in an instant.
He went and returned, and returned to the gates of the city.
When the city guards saw him return with an "old woman", they wondered what he wanted to do.
However, they briefly interrogated them, but they didn't ask anything, and now their strictness is aimed at the Chang'an mansions with ghosts in their hearts, so they naturally relaxed a lot about these two, so they let them go not long after.
In this way, he took a woman full of complicated hearts into Chang'an City.
The wind and snow gradually subsided, and finally stopped again.
The snow ran out of horses' hooves.
The people of Chang'an watched the sky become brighter and clearer, and went out to clear the snow one after another.
In the midst of these scenes, he carried the woman's figure into an unsightly alternative, which soon attracted the attention of many people.
They all wondered who the woman was, and what she wanted to do.
The scene of the first sunny day after the snow reflects the figures of the two horseback riding streets, like a poem.
The eyes of the people of Chang'an moved with their movements, although they did not have any sense of crisis in their hearts, but they all felt that something was going to happen.
Guan Kuo took the woman and went all the way in the direction of the palace.
On this way, they had to go through a long distance, so this scene was seen by many people.
He walked through the liveliest places of the past, and passed through mansions everywhere.
In front of the Tao Mansion, he stopped.
