Chapter 286: Degraded to a common man, a sharp turn for the worse (7)
"Wait! Wait a minute! β
Wang Xi shouted twice, and when he saw that the guards escorting the Di family were deaf, a dark fire rose in his heart, and his feet kicked out violently, and he suddenly fell in front of the soldiers leading the team.
It is said that the escort of the Di family is assigned to the frontier, and the leader of the team should be a military attache above the fifth rank. However, Shi Wenzheng's jealousy of Di Danqing spread to all aspects of Dawu's entire military system. Although Di Danqing didn't like to cultivate his wings as he imagined, Shi Wenzheng was full of distrust of today's military attachΓ©s.
For this reason, Shi Wenzheng thought hard about it, and finally temporarily promoted Liu Liangcai, a city defense deputy general from the sixth grade, to be from the fifth grade, named "General Zhongliang", who was responsible for escorting the Di family.
Liu Liangcai saw Wang Xi coldly jumping out and intercepting himself and the ranks behind him, so he reflexively pulled out the knife and asked, "Who is coming", but in an instant, he saw Wang Xi wearing the official uniform of the imperial guard, raised his eyebrows, and put the knife back into the scabbard, but his hand still did not leave the handle.
"You are? Why do you want to intercept General Ben and Di's family? Do you know that if you don't have a valid reason, it's a mortal sin of at least fifty rods? β
Liu Liangcai frowned and asked.
Wang Xi clenched his fists and replied: "I am Wang Xi, the imperial guard, and the reason why I intercepted the general is because the emperor has a holy decree that needs to be announced. β
"Divine decree? Where is it? β
Before Liu Liangcai's voice fell, Gu Panxi answered loudly: "Here!" β
Gu Panxi couldn't compare to Wang Xi, so he could only bury his head and run quickly, just in time to arrive at this moment. Shi Feiqing, Liuchuan and Zhao Zhong took care of her feelings, followed behind, and did not dare to learn from Wang Xi's kung fu.
Gu Panxi had no right to announce the decree, so he could only transfer the decree to Wang Xi. Wang Xili tore open the seal, held the holy decree high above his head, and said: "Loyal and filial generals Liu Liangcai and Di's family, take the decree!" β
Liu Liangcai immediately knelt on the ground, and the guards also urged the Di family to kneel on the ground with them. The others present were naturally without exception. Even Gu Panxi, who had never knelt, pretended to half-squat down and shrank behind Shi Feiqing, so that others could not see the clues.
Di Danqing's brows were furrowed, his eyes rolled around, looking nervous and worried, and at the end, he threw his eyes on Gu Panxi and Shi Feiqing, and happened to find that Gu Panxi was also looking at him, and secretly pressed his right hand, suggesting that he should calm down.
Could it be that the princess brought some good news?
At the thought of this, Di Danqing was overjoyed with self-control. As for Di Yunxi, who was behind him, he seemed to be blind and dumb, completely ignoring what was happening.
Wang Xi unfolded the holy decree, glanced at it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
When Gu Panxi saw his expression, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, thinking: It seems that there is really something wrong with this holy decree.
But even if there were any problems, it was too late. Besides, even if Shi Wenzheng plays any tricks, for Di Yunxi, no matter how bad it is, can it be worse than the distribution of the frontier?
Wang Xi proclaimed: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said that the grass people Gu clan in the past at the banquet of the envoys of the four countries contributed to the 'brave and fearless' dance to win the reward, and today it is fulfilled, asking for the freedom of the prisoner Di Yunxi. It's just that Di Yunxi was implicated in Di Yunlong's crime of attempted rebellion, so she was given her freedom, which inevitably hindered Dawu's justice. For this reason, I specially allowed Di Yunxi's slave status to remain unchanged and turned into the ownership of the Gu family! Chin this! β
Gu Panxi suddenly realized that Shi Wenzheng was really insidious. Originally, she tried her best to save Di Yunxi, help her get rid of the fate of being sent to the frontier as a slave, and let her become a free person again. As a result, Shi Wenzheng played such a trick and gave Di Yunxi to Gu Panxi, and made her a slave and a maid, but it seemed like Gu Panxi was going to fall into the well. I'm afraid that when the time comes, Di Yunxi, who is arrogant, will not only not be grateful to her, but will secretly hold a grudge in turn.
It's boring.
Gu Panxi secretly rolled his eyes, and was speechless for the retribution of the current politics. It seems that Shi Wenzheng is iron-hearted, and he wants to hollow out her mind to make her unhappy.
Whether Di Yunxi will be grateful to Gu Panxi, in fact, it was not in Gu Panxi's consideration, she was just bent on doing something for Di Danqing, after all, Di Danqing had given her and Shi Feiqing countless support and help before.
Liu Liangcai didn't have much feeling about this sudden will, anyway, he was not a member of the faction in the first place, and this escort was enough for him as long as it could be successfully completed, and letting one go and letting go of two had nothing to do with him.
Liu Liangcai simply accepted the order, and then gave his guards a look, and they pulled up Di Yunxi, who was still kneeling on the ground, like a dead log.
Di Danqing couldn't cry at this time, his old body fell to the ground, and he sobbed: "Sinner...... Di Dan Qing ...... Thank you, Lord Longne! β
After speaking, Di Danqing moved his body, looked towards Gu Panxi, kowtowed solemnly, and said, "Princess, no...... Mrs. Shi, your kindness, although the old man's time is short, will always be remembered in his heart! β
Gu Panxi shook his head and said, "The old general is serious...... That's the only thing I can do. Moreover, Yunxi's slavery has not been removed. As far as I'm concerned, I'm still guilty. β
Liu Liangcai waved his hand and said, "Is enough to say?" Enough is enough, and the team is on its way! β
Di Danqing struggled to get up from the ground, turned back to Di Yunxi, who was stunned, and shouted: "Yunxi, you have to take good care, take good care of yourself, and listen to Mrs. Shi's words well!" You know? β
Di Yunxi silently didn't answer, looking like six gods without a master.
Di Danqing wanted to say more, but the guard in charge of escorting him had already begun to push him up, and he had no intention of letting him say anything more.
Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi really wanted to scold these guards a few times, but now that they are soft-spoken, even if they speak, these guards will definitely turn a deaf ear, and they will be even more rude to Di Danqing.
Helpless, Gu Panxi could only promise Di Danqing loudly: "Old general, please rest assured, I will take good care of Yunxi from the Feiqing Society!" β
Di Danqing burst into tears and said thank you three times in a row.
This little episode ended with Di Danqing and the rest of the Di clan disappearing from the horizon. This generational famous family, which was once famous all over the world and dominated the territory, has come to an end of history and has become floating dust.
"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement 'Witness the Ups and Downs', which will reward you with 1000 XP! β
Gu Panxi smiled dumbly, only feeling that this achievement was extremely ironic.
Wang Xi completed his task, and arched his hand towards Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi, and was about to say goodbye, just after taking three or four steps, he suddenly turned around and said: "Shi Gongzi, Mrs. Shi, if there is a place that can be used in the future, please open your mouth." As long as he can, the lower officials will definitely not shirk. β
Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi saw that Wang Xi saw them lose power, but they were still sincere, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, and sincerely thanked them.
"Yunxi, Yunxi?"
Gu Panxi saw Di Yunxi a few times, but she didn't move, in desperation, Gu Panxi could only look back at Shi Feiqing, and wanted to ask for Shi Feiqing's help.
Shi Feiqing tried to open his mouth and shouted: "Yunxi." β
Di Yunxi's eyes lit up slightly, and he finally had some reaction.
Gu Panxi was overjoyed and said, "Lord Wang, it seems that Yunxi still has an unforgettable old love for you!" Hurry up and shout two more times to get her back to life! β
Shi Feiqing was really ridiculous when he heard his beloved wife say such a thing, but he was afraid that Gu Panxi had already given the order, so he had no choice but to do it.
"Yunxi, you go home with us, okay?"
Di Yunxi hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.
Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi breathed a sigh of relief, and worked together to help Di Yunxi up, and then joined Dongmei and Gu Yuefei, who were left behind, and slowly walked towards their new residence.
Although Tiemuzi worked hard to defend the Zhao Palace, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi and his party were categorically unable to go back to live. Now their temporary residence is Lu Xiaozi's workshop. This was Gu Panxi's idea.
There are already a lot of workshops in Lu Xiaozi, and there are many apprentices and helpers in them. Since he began to work with Gu Panxi to study the musket, he has even expanded the workshop, and the current Lu Xiaozi Workshop is already a behemoth that can accommodate at least three hundred people.
The reason why Lu Xiaozi was able to do this was naturally because of his amazing financial resources. Gu Panxi pretended to be generous and allocated his small private money to Lu Xiaozi to study the musket, but he didn't know that the reason why Lu Xiaozi accepted it was completely out of not wanting to hurt her feelings.
Just think about it, the number one craftsman in the world, the person who asks to cooperate with him to do business, if he forms a queue of people, I am afraid that he can circle the entire Le'an Mansion twice, how can Lu Xiaozi be short of money?
However, this time Gu Panxi made his own initiative to move to Lu Xiaozi's workshop to live temporarily, even if Lu Xiaozi clearly said that he didn't need Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi to take out a penny again, Gu Panxi still insisted on not wanting to eat and live in vain. She took out all her existing resentment points, and made up 50 gratitude points, exchanged them for a full 10,000 taels of silver, and handed them over to Lu Xiaozi, which served as the accommodation and catering expenses of Zhao Wangfu and his party in Lu Xiaozi's workshop, and the rest was all used as research funds for muskets.
Lu Xiaozi knew that if he pushed it back, it would be a little hypocritical, so he had to accept it, and solemnly promised Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi that Lu Xiaozi's workshop would provide them with the best food and accommodation.
Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi and his entourage brought Di Yunxi back to Lu Xiaozi's workshop, and Lu Xiaozi brought Li Yunlong to meet him.
Seeing Di Yunxi's dejected appearance, even Lu Xiaozi and Li Yunlong, who met her for the first time, couldn't help but be a little surprised, and sighed that this big blow can destroy people's minds.
Lu Xiaozi did not hesitate, and immediately ordered Li Yunlong to take Di Yunxi to the side room that had been prepared a long time ago to rest, and asked the kitchen to prepare food for her. Lu is short and rude, but Li Yunlong, a little ghost, is very clever, and thoughtfully recruited a few female apprentices to help and asked them to help Di Yunxi wash up.
After explaining Di Yunxi's affairs, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi glanced at each other, and they both saw indescribable regret and sorrow in each other's eyes, and then sighed together.
Lu Xiaozi reminded on the side: "Childe, madam, there are other people and other things waiting for you." β
Gu Panxi nodded, "Yes." The long night has only just begun. β
