Chapter 23: Nine Deaths and One Life

When Xin Yao heard that the five hundred soldiers were all wiped out, her heart was sad, and she said eloquently: "It must have come to the most critical juncture, and Qingfeng and they had no choice but to do this." Don't be sad, they were born in marching and fighting, and they have already seen through death. Let's ask their families and see if we can help! ”

Xiao Han thought of the blood flowing in the snow, the blood of the brothers, stained the white earth, after the wind and snow, it fell clean, only the full moon hanging in the air, cold eyes but silent.

He said in a hoarse voice: "Later, I met the second horse bandit and lost three brothers. ”

"How's my aunt?"

"I fell ill halfway, if it weren't for my aunt sewing a few life-saving medicines into the intimate ** in advance, I am afraid that I would not be able to come back this time. I was thirsty and picked up two mouthfuls of snow, hungry, or two mouthfuls of snow, I couldn't hold on, and killed the only remaining horse, and I and the other two secret guards took turns carrying my aunt on our backs, and walked for half a month before returning to Beijing. ”

After Xiao Han finished speaking, there was no sound in the room, only a brazier not far away, making a few explosions.

Xin Yao only felt that her heart was being pulled and hurt, and her heart was cold, and she said in pain for a while: "Jin Ge Iron Horse, Feng Wolf Juxu, these soldiers did not die on the battlefield of killing the enemy for the country, but died in the hands of their own people." How sad! ”

Xiao Han turned sideways, buried his head in the woman's chest, up and down his body, without a trace of temperature, and was silent for a long time!

After a long silence, Xin Yao's heart moved slightly, stretched out her hand to the man's chest, stroked the wounds that had just scabbed, and her moist lips took the initiative to imprint the man's forehead, and she dropped a deep and shallow kiss, and slowly went down......

I heard the man let out a low roar like a beast, turned over and lifted one of the woman's legs, and pushed it in with extreme force. Xin Yao clinged to the man's neck, trying hard to cater to the man's attack without mercy, and finally couldn't help but shudder for a while, and let out a dense **......

In the middle of the night, the man came out of the clean room with spring in the corner of his eyes, and saw that Xin Yao was already hunched, her face was tired, and she fell asleep, and her heart suddenly softened into a pool of clear water.

He put on his clothes and gently tucked the brocade quilt for the person on the **, but saw that the woman's skin was full of bruises, lost his mind for a moment, walked outside to explain a few words, and then disappeared into the night.

……

In the side hall of the Dufu Jing Suburban Courtyard, Yan Songyuan sat in front of the mahogany base screen, wrapped in white gauze in his right hand, put down the tea cup in his hand with his left hand, looked directly at Du Tianxiang and said: "No matter what precious medicinal materials, just use them!" ”

When Xiao Jingxian was sent to Dufu Courtyard by Xiao Han last night, she had a high fever on the road for ten days, and she didn't wake up after drinking the decoction.

Du Yunpeng looked at his wife, who had yellow hair, bloodless face, and was so thin that he couldn't look good, his face was dignified, and he lost his gentlemanly demeanor for the first time, and scolded his son for being useless.

Du Tianxiang, who has always been a hanger and is not at ease about everything, saw that his mother's life was hanging by a thread, so he laughed and healed with all his heart, and did not pay attention to the scolding in his ears.

Yan Huanyuan got the information and couldn't stay in the palace, so he came to find out late at night. Out of the back room, he smashed his fist into the corner of the wall, which frightened Li Zonggui's expression greatly, and a cold sweat immediately exploded, and he fell to his knees and shouted at Imperial Doctor Du.

Du Tianxiang said with a rare face: "Second brother, no need, my mother has suffered too many losses, and it is rare to recover without two or three months." ”

As he spoke, the door opened.

When Yan Songyuan saw someone coming, he greeted him, and helped Xiao Han, who was about to kneel to the ground, and looked at it for a long time before patting Xiao Han's shoulder and saying, "How can you be so thin!" Then he turned his head to the man behind him: "Why are you here?" ”

Xu Hongyuan saluted and said: "After hearing the news, I don't feel at ease, there is nothing in the house, so I will come and take a look!" ”

Du Yunpeng saw that it was Xu Hongyuan and Xiao Han, and complained: "Why bother running here again in the middle of the night!" ”

Xu Hongyuan said respectfully: "There are a few hundred-year-old ginseng in the house, I'm afraid that Mrs. Du can use them." Specially brought to the lady into the medicine. "Of course, by the way, I will inquire about Sixteen.

Yan Songyuan snorted coldly, but said, "Uncle doesn't have to be polite to him, I asked him to come." ”

Du Tianxiang secretly glanced at Xu Hongyuan and motioned for him to sit down. Xu Hongyuan coughed lightly, pretended to sit aside and drink tea, and pricked up his ears to pay attention to Xiao Han's words and deeds.

After Xiao Han saluted Du Yunpeng, he told everyone in detail about the experience of the past three months. The four people in the room heard that Sixteen had been detoxified, and with a little recuperation, there was no major problem, and the gloom on their faces was gone. Hearing that Xiao Han and the others escaped death before returning to Beijing, their faces changed again.

Du Tianxiang clenched his hands into fists, his eyes were red, and his chest rose and fell: "Damn, it's serious, thousands of people are chasing and killing, who is so bold!" ”

Du Yunpeng was still immersed in shock and did not hear his son's words.

Yan Songyuan and Xu Hongyuan both had calm faces and did not speak for a long time.

Xiao Han looked around, and finally said, "Second brother, Xin Yao said this matter, revealing a trace of strangeness. ”

Yan Songyuan glanced at Du Yunpeng in surprise and said, "Let's hear it!" ”

Xiao Han stared solemnly and said: "She said that if she was chased and killed on the way there, she could still explain the past." On the way back, it seems a little unbelievable to be chased and killed, and everyone has been rescued, what is the use of chasing and killing at this time? Exposing himself and not saying it, but also attracting the hostility and hatred of the two armies, such a hurtful and unfavorable thing, how can the old and calculating person of King Han not understand? ”

Du Tianxiang thought about it and said, "In case, he just found out that you and your mother went to the army, and in a fit of anger, he killed the killer." Besides, even if the message is sent to the Chinese army, no matter how fast, it will take about ten days, and when Zhao Hu received the letter, you were already in the army at that time, and he was not easy to start, so he had to send someone to wait on the way back. In terms of time, it is also reasonable. ”

Xiao Leng said coldly: "There are two suspicious points here, my aunt's stand-in, one is chasing thieves in the southwest, and the other is confined in the inner house of Du Mansion, even Tianfei and Tianwei don't know that we went to the army, how did King Han find out?" Second, King Han has always been resourceful, what good is it for him to kill a killer like this? Could it be that he was afraid that others would not know that he had committed the poison of the Sixteenth? ”

Du Yunpeng held the tea cup and frowned: "Xiao Han, do you think it is because you are dressed as a merchant that makes people suspicious?" ”

Xiao Han said lightly: "Uncle, if you want to be suspicious, you should intercept us on the way there, instead of waiting for the sixteen poisons to be cured, and then chase and kill!" ”

Du Tianxiang said: "Or, he is just trying to cover up the matter of Sixteen, as long as you die, who can prove that Sixteen He was poisoned." ”

Xiao Han nodded slightly and said, "In this way, there is some truth!" ”

Yan Songyuan stroked his hand with a faint pain, and said lightly: "According to what your daughter-in-law sees, what should it be?" ”

Xiao Han's face turned red, remembering that under several degrees of indulgence, the woman fell on him, and he was drowsy after only saying that, how could he still have the energy to think about these troubles again, so he coughed, covered his expression and said: "She is also puzzled!" ”

Fortunately, his face was extremely dark, and the light in the room was dim, and everyone did not notice anything unusual.

Du Tianxiang's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "I don't care what he is doing, he can order to hunt you down, except for Zhao Hu, there will be no one else, Zhao Hu and his generals don't have the guts, it must be King Han who gave the order, hum, this Liangzi is over, deceive my mother, brother, I'm not done with him!" ”

Du Yunpeng scolded: "Presumptuous! Don't shut up yet! ”

Du Tianxiang's expression was gloomy, and he could not turn his head away.

Yan Huanyuan eased his expression and said: "Uncle, don't say it's Tianxiang, it's me, and I will definitely be sixteen in the future, uncle, Xiao Han and the dead soldiers will take revenge." There are some things that it is indeed time to settle the general account, and my mother has been waiting long enough for the underground! ”

Du Yunpeng thought of the red-faced sister-in-law, his eyes were slightly red, and he stepped forward and said deeply: "The prince must not be impulsive, everything still needs to be cautious, plan carefully, and do not act rashly until you are completely sure." Don't forget what your grandfather said, if you step on the cliff with one foot in the air, you will not be destroyed! ”

Yan Songyuan took a deep breath. Since ancient times, the battle for the throne has been either you die or I live, bursting out with a few swords and swords, spilling a lot of blood, burying the lives of many innocent soldiers, fratricidal and endless.

Du Yunpeng turned his face and said to Du Tianxiang, Xiao Han, and Xu Hongyuan: "The three of you, it's the same, calm me down, especially you, Du Tianxiang, if you say something like this in the future, swallow it in your stomach, don't let me hear it again." ”

Xiao Han knew that his uncle was very gentle and elegant on weekdays, reciting poems against each other, and acting as a scholar. There must be a reason for these harsh words.

Thinking of his aunt lying in the back room, Xiao Han immediately said, "Uncle, don't worry, we can save it!" ”

Du Yunpeng looked at the expressions of the three of them, then nodded, and said, "The matter of the northwest, you should discuss it carefully." With that, he threw up his sleeves and left.

Du Tianxiang waited for him to leave, leaned back, and said quietly: "Pretending to be true, my mother is sick, and she has missed all her feet." ”

Yan Songyuan glanced at him coldly.

Du Tianxiang hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Second brother, below, what do you think we should do?" ”

Yan Songyuan stroked the tea cup on the table, and said quietly: "Xiaohan, as soon as you come back, my hanging heart will be settled." It's not a few months before my father's birthday, and we can't spare anyone to pay attention to this matter, so let your daughter-in-law think about the strange places. You are in the position of the Soldiers and Horses, I don't want to move, let your people be careful in the past few months, if there is a hint of wind and grass in any house, just report it. The Imperial Forest Army, the Father of the Praetorian Guard has secretly changed people, and they are all our people. As long as Sixteen can stabilize the Chinese army, it's all right! ”

"Ah Yuan, the sixteen poisons have been resolved, and you can rest assured. The accounts of the household department, find a chance to check, especially the disaster relief funds, be sure to check for me! ”

Xu Hongyuan and Xiao Han both nodded in response.

Xiao Han thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Second brother, let me tell you that Cheng Da, the general of the Chinese army, has taken refuge in us!" Everything is slowly being figured out! ”

Yan Songyuan, Du Tianxiang, and Xu Hongyuan were all shocked. Cheng Da is a brave and resourceful person, who has always been inseparable from Zhao Hu and Mengjiao, and is like a brother.

Du Tianxiang couldn't hold back, and hurriedly asked if there was any fraud in this? rs
