It's another year of Qingming.

When Jin Daochang arrived at the tomb of Marquis Wuxing, he found that there was burned paper money in front of the tomb.

The surrounding weeds were also removed, and there was no dust on the tombstones.

He sighed, untied the wine from his waist, and spilled it in front of the tombstone.

"Tang Er, Tang Er, I told you to go with me a long time ago, you want to go against luck. Why bother? ”

When Xinggong intervened in the state affairs of Southern Chu, he knew that the fortune of the world was in the north and not in the south.

How can such a chaotic imperial power fight the politically clear Northern Qi?

At that time, he persuaded Tang Shao that even if he refused to go with him, he should not cooperate with the Star Palace, which would only make Nan Chu worse.

But Tang Shao said that if he didn't cooperate, he wouldn't even have a chance to start.

Jin Daochang couldn't convince him, so he left in a huff.

Who knows, there will be no chance of goodbye after that.

"I should have known!" Jin Daochang sat in front of the tombstone on the spot and sighed, "How can a person like you be willing to be subject to the Star Palace?" When I cooperated with them, in addition to borrowing strength, I planned to uproot them with all my might, right? I should have stayed to help you. ”

"He won't even let me stay, so how can he let you stay." A voice rang out suddenly.

Jin Daochang turned his head and saw a well-mannered man, stepping up.

He smiled and nodded: "Tang Shiye." ”

Tang Xi is already in his thirties, and he has a short beard on his lips, adding a bit of mature temperament.

He bowed his head and said, "Thank you Daoist Jin for coming to see him." ”

"Acquaintance, as it should be." Jin Daochang picked up the wine glass offered in front of the tombstone and handed it to Tang Xi very unelegantly, "Tenth Master have a drink?" ”

Tang Xi smiled: "It's my honor to be able to drink with the Taoist leader." ”

With that, he lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down in front of the monument.

Jin Daochang looked at his posture, then looked at the clothes on his body, and said with a smile: "It seems that the tenth master is used to life on the rivers and lakes." ”

Tang Xi raised his glass and said with emotion: "Of course you have to get used to it, you have to live like this for the rest of your life." Saying and laughing, "I never thought that one day, I would fall into such a situation." ”

"Bad?"

Tang Xi was silent for a while and said, "Compared to him, it is naturally very good." ”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the tombstone.

“…… After eradicating the Star Palace, he drove me away. He said that he gave me away, and it has nothing to do with him in the future. Tang Xi smiled wryly, "It's really ridiculous, I'm his uncle, how can there be any reason to give away my elders?" ”

Jin Daochang nodded and said, "He doesn't want to bother you, because he knows that this road is the road to death." ”

"But I can help him!" Tang Xi patted the tombstone, looking at Tang Shao's name on it, he was annoyed and regretful, "If I help him, I may not be able to suppress those families." Let's spend more time, step by step, and clean up the interior of Chu first, Qi may not dare to invade south! But he is in a hurry to become the emperor! ”

Jin Daochang shook his head: "Since he cooperated with Xinggong, there has been a stubborn energy in his heart, which made him fight to the end, and also made him lose his normal heart. Poor and repentant! If he had stayed by his side at the beginning, he might have been able to persuade him to avoid coming to this dead end. ”

He also said: "In fact, if the tenth master stays, it can't change the result. The momentum of victory and defeat is accumulated bit by bit. Chu is worried about foreign troubles, but Qi is Haiyan and Heqing, the Emperor Chengming is a person who has fought in the northwest, even if Tang Er is not the emperor, he will see the opportunity to go south. ”

Tang Xi was silent.

He knew that what Jin Daochang said was right, in the past ten years, the Qi and Chu countries have been losing their strength and gradually becoming unbalanced, and that battle will definitely be fought, and in the end, the Chu State will definitely lose.

But if it is the road to death, why does Tang Shao have to go?

Unconsciously, he spoke out the doubts in his heart.

"Because he's looking for his own worth." A soft female voice sounded, and Ling Fangruo led her daughter up the stairs.

She changed into a married woman's attire, and her eyebrows were less cold and arrogant, and more kind.

The daughter in her hand, about five or six years old, is as cute as a snowball.

Seeing Tang Xi, she ran over with a smile: "Daddy." ”

Tang Xi's gaze softened, and he reached out to hug her.

Seeing that it was her, Jin Dao smiled and said: "It's really fate, the marriage of the tenth master falls on Miss Ling." ”

Ling Fangruo waved her hand: "It's been more than ten years, I have already left the Ling family, don't call Miss Ling anymore, call me Ling Niangzi or Mrs. Tang." ”

Jin Daochang looked at her with a smile: "Okay, Mrs. Tang." ”

Ling Fangruo nodded with a smile, picked up Tang Xi's wine glass, and raised it to him: "The meeting of old people is worth celebrating." ”

After drinking this cup, she said: "Tang Er has been living in lies all his life. His father and what he thought his mother were deceiving him. He took his relatives very seriously, and as a result, the eldest lady and the eldest prince stabbed him backhanded. Even, he thought that he loved his father and concocted his sad life story with his own hands. When all the lies were exposed, he was at a loss. He knew that the path was difficult, and it could even be said that the probability of success was close to zero, but he had to go for it. Because only by going to the end can he prove the meaning of his existence. ”

Jin Daochang sighed: "He still drilled the tip of the horns!" ”

Ling Fangruo said lightly: "This is not his way. ”

Jin Daochang smiled: "The one who knows Tang Er the most is really you." At the beginning, Tang Er said that you are the same people. It's really weird, obviously his personality is more like you, why do you like the tenth master? ”

"Who can tell? Maybe I just like goose gobbles? ”

Kim Daochang laughed and toasted to her.

Tang Xi, who was left out in the cold, had to smile bitterly.

Ling Fangruo put aside her cup and said, "Speaking of which, Empress Ming died in the same year as Tang Er?" ”

Kim nodded.

She smiled: "If Jiuquan meets, presumably Tang Er will be happy." Those two people haven't been able to grow old in the end! ”

Tang Xi frowned: "Why are you still laughing at other people's tragic things?" ”

Ling Fangruo didn't care: "Tang Er is not a righteous gentleman like you, the person you admire and the rival stay together for life, and you have a lot of appetite." They can't stay together, Tang Er is happy! ”

"You ......"

Kim Daochang looked at it and laughed.

Tang Xi was so angry that his face turned red, but he knew that he couldn't fight, so he could only shut his mouth and sulk.

Fortunately, his daughter was cute, reached out and rubbed his brows, and said, "Daddy, don't frown, it's not good-looking." ”

Tang Xi's face eased at this time.

The court sent people to guard the tomb, but they did not stay for a long time, and after worshipping, they said goodbye to each other.

Jin Daochang asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Tang Xi replied, "We are going back to the south." A few days ago, Emperor Chengming issued a pardon decree, and all the old clans of Southern Chu were pardoned except for the prisoners who were registered. We haven't been back for years, it's time to go home. ”

"It's fine. I wish you all a smooth journey. ”

Kim looked at the couple and took their daughter on the ferry.

After so many years of wandering, they are finally going back to their hometown.
