Chapter 81: Winter Solstice
After carefully explaining to Lixia, Ling Jun took the fifteenth and went straight to Yanjing for Liu's guards.
If this "storm" in Yanjing was really stirred up by the mysterious "gentleman" as Liu Qingxin guessed, then his corporal Lixian should really be done as soon as possible.
"We should be on the way, meet the winter solstice."
Looking up and glancing at the position of the sun, Ling Jun kicked the horse's belly again.
Their horses are good enough to enter the city before dark.
"Ming'er, it's the winter solstice's mother's sacrifice day."
Listening to Ling Jun talk about the winter solstice, Fifteen hesitated slightly.
After a while, I whispered and mentioned it to him.
"He should go out of the city to worship his mother in the early morning, and then go to Jiangnan quickly."
"After all, when he married his daughter-in-law a few years ago, he should go and talk to his mother for a few words."
In this world, happy people always have the same happiness.
But most of the unfortunate people have their own misfortunes.
"Look at my memory!"
Fifteen's words made Ling Jun instinctively slow down, raised his head, and looked at the dark gray clouds in the sky in the distance.
Yanjing, should it be snowing again?
When he was picked up by Ling Jun, the winter solstice was not called the winter solstice.
At that time, he was still a teenager who was kidnapped by bandits and sold to human teeth.
Ling Jun clearly remembers the day they met.
It had just snowed in Yanjing.
Thin as a firewood on the winter solstice, standing barefoot on the snow and with open arms, blocking his way.
He said, please save my mother and two sisters, nobleman, I am willing to repay you with my life.
"From now on, you will call it the winter solstice."
Ling Jun remembers that at that time, he dragged him on horseback, took him to the nearest shop, bought warm clothes and boots, and then let him lead the way to Renyazi's residence.
But unfortunately, his mother, because she let him escape, was beaten to death by human teeth, and his two younger sisters were also sold to the Red Mansion.
Although, Dong Solstice slashed people's teeth, avenged his mother, and ransomed his two younger sisters with the help of Ling Jun, but once the "scar" falls, it will be difficult to heal.
Winter solstice, has been blaming himself.
For the death of the mother.
For his two sisters, he can never meet a good marriage again.
"I've found out where the bandits who plundered the caravan back then were, and the support behind them."
"I thought that after the New Year's Festival, I would find a position for him in the northwest camp, and let General Rubai send him some men to suppress that nest of robbers."
"First, I can avenge him for killing his father."
"Second, it can eliminate harm for the people."
Lingjun has always been calm in his work.
Until you are sure that you can uproot the enemy, you will never shoot.
"Behind that nest of robbers is the British Mansion."
"To be exact, your two enemies are the same person."
Ling Jun didn't call the name of the person behind the gang of robbers, but Fifteen, who was riding a horse and following him, slowly raised his hand holding the reins.
There was a long silence.
Suddenly, Fifteen kicked the horse in the belly, allowing him to ride the horse to run to a speed parallel to Ling Jun.
"When, when can you let that bastard die, and let me do it, okay?"
When he said this, fifteen's teeth rattled.
His enemies.
Enemies who don't share the sky.
Finally, the flaws were finally revealed, no, it should be said, it was finally found out, according to the law of Da Ming, the crime that can be beheaded!
He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and it was like half a life.
"You discuss this matter with the winter solstice."
For Zhu Shitong, this is the biggest stain on the Chengguo Mansion, and it is not an exaggeration, Ling Jun is extremely disgusted.
It's just that he hid it too well before, so Ling Jun couldn't find anything wrong at all.
"Okay."
Fifteen whispered a word of agreement, and then slowed down the horse, making his horse about half a horse slower than Lingjun's.
It is impossible for a wicked person to be evil to only one person.
Therefore, he was not surprised that Zhu Shitong was also the enemy of the winter solstice.
He knew that with Zhu Shitong's evil deeds, even if there were hundreds of families who were harmed by him, and had a deep blood feud with him, it was not an exaggeration, but it was he and Dong Solstice who were lucky and expected to kill the enemy.
……
Suburbs of Yanjing.
The winter solstice carried a pot of wine and sat on the ground in front of a small grave.
In front of him, there were a few snacks, and at hand, they were gathered together, weeds in the grave.
"I'm married to a daughter-in-law, mother."
"Her name is Lixia, and she also works under the third master, and she is a very beautiful girl."
As he spoke, Dong Solstice slowly raised his hand, cautiously, and touched the cold tombstone, gently, as if he was afraid of delaying the sleep of the people in the tomb.
"In a few days, the third master will get married, and she will return to Yanjing with the princess, and when the time comes, I will bring her to you to offer incense."
According to the old practice in the northwest, the winter solstice should be buried with his father and mother.
But because their family was following a caravan and preparing to move to Yanjing, they were robbed.
So that later, after Ling Jun rescued him and his two younger sisters, he couldn't even find a piece of his father's clothes, and he was buried with his mother.
People living in the Northwest believe that if they can't erect a grave, the dead can't die.
Therefore, in the heart of the winter solstice, there have always been two heart diseases.
One heart disease is caused by his father, and the other is due to his two, who are thirteen and have not yet found a good marriage match.
Although, they were only sold to the Red Mansion and did not lose their lives.
However, for the northerners who value women's chastity, they are no longer unclean and no longer worthy of being married by the media, and can only become concubines, not wives.
Winter Solstice didn't want his two younger sisters to be wronged.
But he is just a guard around Ling Jun, a wealthy family, how can he compromise and let his two younger sisters enter the hall from the main entrance?
"Panjin and Lanxi are doing well."
"The third master asked the two of them to do things in Deshui Xuan."
"A few years ago, there was a young master from a family who asked the matchmaker to come over, saying that he wanted to welcome Panjin back to be a concubine, but I didn't agree."
Speaking of the two younger sisters, Dong Zhi's face darkened slightly.
They're thirteen.
If you can't meet a good marriage this year, it will be even more difficult next year.
Although he doesn't mind raising them for a lifetime, he hopes that they can find their own happiness than letting them grow old alone in his favor.
The wind, rolling the wild grass, slapped on the back of the winter solstice's hand, as if it was his late mother, in this way, telling him not to embarrass himself, everything, there is a certainty.
Da Da Da –
The sound of the shoe hitting the gravel provoked the winter solstice, instinctively, jumped up from the ground, held the handle of the sword, and made a defensive posture.
A black robe, like a black cloud, flew down to his side before the horse could stop.
It's Ling Jun.
"Third Master."
Seeing that the person who came was Ling Jun, Dong Solstice was a little embarrassed and lowered his head.
Before setting off from Jiangnan, Ling Jun specially explained to him, asking him to finish his work and go back as soon as possible, over there, there are still things for him to do.
And he, in order to wait for his mother's sacrifice day, delayed for a day.
"I forgot, today is your mother's sacrifice day."
"Yesterday, after listening to what Fifteen said, I can remember it."
Ling Jun said as he handed a small bag in his hand to the winter solstice, "I brought some paper money to your mother, you burned it for me." ”
"Winter Solstice is due to private dereliction of duty, please punish the third master."
Dong Solstice thought that Ling Jun asked him to return as soon as possible, because he was newlywed Yan'er, and he couldn't bear to live separately from Lixia.
But now, outside this Yanjing City, seeing Ling Jun, how can he be as he thought before?
Thanksgiving Dade took the burden, turned around on the winter solstice, and bowed to Ling Jun to the end.
"The incident happened suddenly, I originally planned to intercept you on the road, let you turn the horse's head directly, and return to Yanjing with me."
"Now, you haven't left, just right, and it saves the horses a lot of work."
Ling Jun leaned over with a smile and helped Dong Solstice up from the ground, and then, with a respectful attitude, he bowed to the grave of Dong Solstice's mother, "I plan to avenge your husband's death this year, and wait for the robbers to retrieve what your husband liked before his death, and then take the winter solstice to the grave of the two." ”
At home on the winter solstice, there is an ancestral piece of red warm jade.
Dong Solstice clearly remembered that when they were plundered by robbers, the leader of the robbers killed his father, and from his father's neck, with a happy face, ripped off the red warm jade, and put it in a leather bag around his waist.
It was precisely because of this piece of red warm jade that Ling Jun found the person behind the gang of robbers, Zhu Shitong, about half a month ago, and found the new place of the gang of robbers.
Ling Jun's words made the winter solstice stiffen in place.
After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at Ling Jun who was standing next to him.
The days of winter are short, and the orange morning glow seems to wrap Ling Jun's whole person, like a god in the world.
"Three, third master, you, do you mean to say, say to find, find the bandit who intercepted and robbed the caravan back then?"
Because of the excitement, the winter solstice stuttered a little.
Feeling that talking like this hinders expression, Dong Solstice did not hesitate to give himself a slap in the face.
"I, can I participate in the banditry?!"
If the man who was hacked to death by him was the bastard who killed her mother, then the gang of brutes who hijacked the caravan, killed his father, and sold them to the human tooth were the culprits in this situation!
Previously, Ling Jun had led people to search for the gang of robbers according to his description, but regrettably, the original village of the robbers had long been empty.
"I have made people watch."
"After my wedding, you will go straight to the Northwest Army, General Rubai, who will lend you people."
smiled and patted it, the shoulders of the winter solstice, and Ling Jun's eyes were full of relief.
"You need to be cautious, and you must not be reckless with the thought that revenge will be avenged."
"If you are not careful, some of those robbers escape, and then it will be difficult to find them."
"According to the exact information, there were one hundred and forty-five robbers, one hundred and forty-three men and two women."
"Those two women, the ones behind the gang of robbers, were planted there to spy on them, and they were the top names of the Red Mansion before they were sent to the robbers' cottage."
"You need to identify them carefully, and don't make them pretend to be civilians who have been captured and sold to people."
Ling Jun didn't like the existence of Red Mansions.
Because, this kind of existence is destined to become the source of misfortune for some girls.
Although it is not excluded that some people can survive because of this, more of them are forced by greedy people.
Yes, it is relatives and siblings.
Others, thieves, robbers and liars.
Therefore, his business never set foot in the Red Mansion, and he himself never entered the Red Mansion, no matter who persuaded him to make an astonishing profit, and no matter how many people explained to him that the "value" was considerable.
Even if it was to save the two younger sisters of the Winter Solstice, he was just at the door of the Red Mansion, a few steps away, stood for a while, and sent the shopkeeper of De Shuixuan to bargain with the head of the Red Mansion.
He does not discriminate against anyone except those who have betrayed morality.
Of course, it also includes the girl who laughs in the Red Mansion.
"Yes, Third Master."
"The winter solstice is written."
Ling Jun's instructions made the winter solstice instantly reassuring.
Northwest Army.
The biggest reliance of the third master of his family.
He was willing to admit himself and allowed himself to go to the Northwest Army to borrow people to suppress the bandits, instead of taking the veterans who had retired from the army to go in disguise, so naturally, he was completely sure that he could properly deal with the people behind the robbers.
He wanted revenge.
But he didn't want Ling Jun to suffer losses for his hatred.
The Northwest Army is iron-blooded.
Even if they are discharged from the army, there is absolutely no one who is afraid of death.
But he didn't want to be a selfish person, he didn't want that, he regarded him as a junior, and his uncles and uncles who taught him kung fu carefully died because of him.
"When you get back to the house, you go and find fifteen."
"He has something to counsel with you."
Looking up, and glancing at the sky, which had completely brightened, Ling Jun whistled and called his horse to come closer.
"I'm going to Deshui Xuan and arrange a place for lightheartedness."
"I won't go home with you."
Whipping all the way, Ling Jun and Fifteen, who were supposed to arrive in Yanjing in the evening before closing the city gate, were affected by the sudden heavy snow on the road, and did not arrive at the city gate until midnight.
Ling Jun knew that his health was not good, and if he fell asleep, he would not be able to get up early the next day, so he simply roasted the fire in the Zhuangzi outside the city, and made do with reading half a book, just waiting for the dawn, and came to this tomb to look for the winter solstice, in case he finished worshiping his mother, set off early, went to Jiangnan, and missed him.
"After you gave that letter to Mu Rui, how did he reply to you?"
Turn over and get on the horse.
Ling Jun planned to go straight to Deshui Xuan, and arranged for Uncle Nine to vacate the residence for Liu Qingxin, so he went into the room exclusive to him to make up for sleep.
Before leaving, he suddenly remembered that Mu Rui's situation had not yet had time to inquire with Dong Solstice.
"Young Master Mu Rui said that he has heard that the third master has superb chess skills, and he yearns for it."
"When the third master is free, just ask someone to go and talk to him, and he will be ready to wait."
Speaking of Mu Rui, the winter solstice instinctively remembered the ecstatic appearance of Mu Rui yesterday when he took the letter from his hand.
The eldest son of a family will live to such a humble time, how much mistreatment has he suffered in ordinary times?
Thinking so, Dong Solstice instinctively skimmed the corners of his lower lip.
He didn't like Mu Rui.
To be precise, it is a man who doesn't like to talk and do things, and is submissive.
Even if his family is in Lixia, ten out of ten women are not like him, motherly and girly!
I really don't know what the third master of his family has taken a fancy to this Mu Rui!
