Chapter 17 The Long Road Ahead
Seeing Wang Chengzhang so surprised, Chu Yu smiled lightly, "Yes, I'm going to go to this folk walk, observe the people's feelings, and see the mountains and rivers of our country!" And most importantly......"
Chu Yu chuckled, but there was a bit of desolation in this smile, "It's been so long, and there has been no news from my father, so I don't know where he is now and how he is doing, so I want to go to him in person and pick him up." ”
"It's rare for the monarch to be filial, thinking about the old monarch in his heart, now that the Ye father and son have confessed to the law and been punished, and the affairs in the court have been dealt with, it is reasonable for the monarch to want to find your father."
Zhao Yu's hoarse voice was full of heaviness, he still had the mood to protect his family and defend the country after all the vicissitudes of life, what Chu Yu wanted to do was exactly what he wanted, so he agreed.
Zhao Yu, who was standing behind Chu Yu, could clearly see his worried look, he was worried that they would not agree with his idea.
Although he is now the king of a country and should have the world in mind, but he forgot the words of the old monarch because of this, then he is not worthy of being this monarch, and filial piety comes first, it is precisely because he has filial piety in his heart and benevolence in his heart that he will admire him.
"The world has been decided, the country has been safe, and the monarch can also fulfill his filial piety with peace of mind, I think, you adults will not object!"
Wang Chengzhang looked at Du Heng and Zhao Yu hesitantly, and both of them nodded in agreement, which made it more difficult for him to choose.
"What the Marquis of Zhongyi said is not unreasonable, now that the country is stable, the filial piety of the monarch should also be supported, it's just that the monarch is gone, what should the court do, who will take care of government affairs?"
When Chu Yu heard that Wang Chengzhang was hesitant because of this, he couldn't help laughing loudly, "This is easy to say!" You will be in charge of government affairs, Prime Minister Wang Cheng, General Du and General Zhao will assist you, you will be above the court, and there will be two of them in the border defense, I think it is very good! ”
"This, this must not be! The monarch, the minister is already over the age of six, and the old eyes are dizzy, how can he temporarily supervise the country! Please also ask the monarch to take back his fate! ”
"Prime Minister Wang is modest, you have been a prime minister for 60 years, how can you not afford it!"
Du Heng also said, "Prime Minister Wang, don't be modest, the monarch must have his plans to do this, we are ministers, just obey orders!" ”
Wang Chengzhang saw Chu Yu smiling and nodded, so he had no choice but to respond.
Chu Yu laughed loudly, "Since this is the case, then I can look for my father with peace of mind!" ”
Zhao Yu on the side couldn't hide his smile.
After arranging everything, Chu Yu and Zhao Yu set off, before leaving, Zhao Yun also specially explained to Zhao Yu that no matter what danger he encountered, he must first ensure the safety of the monarch, Zhao Yu naturally obeyed his father's orders, of course, even if he did not have his instructions, he would do so.
Out of the capital, the two set foot on the path again.
In the past, I went back, the willows are still around, and now I have a different mood after passing through this bamboo forest, as if the bamboo on both sides of the road is a lot greener, within a few days, it has undergone such a big change, not only the current events have changed, but also the mood of people has changed.
"Xiaoyu, where do you think we should go?"
Chu Yu was dressed in a brocade robe, with blue threads embroidered on the placket and cuffs, and a belt was tied around his waist, during which the folding fan was opened, the hair tied up fell from the shoulders, and between the eyebrows, he was full of spirit, he asked Zhao Yu with a smile, Zhao Yu was still carrying his big knife, and his face was full of seriousness when he was silent, and he could only hear him reply, "The place where the old monarch disappeared was the closest to Qingxi County, and I think we can start from there." ”
Chu Yu nodded, his eyes full of starlight, Zhao Yu suddenly mentioned Shanshan again, and asked, "I don't know how Miss Shanshan is now." ”
At the mention of Shanshan, Chu Yu raised his eyes and smiled, "Shanshan should have gone back to visit her father, General Bai is kind to my father, and now that his daughter is well, he can rest assured." ”
"I don't know if we'll ever see her."
If you really want to talk about it, Zhao Yu also admires Shanshan very much, no matter what, she is a girl, she can still live strong after suffering such a thing, and she can come to the capital alone to seek the truth, and she is also a strange woman.
Speaking of this, Chu Yu sighed lightly, "If you have fate, you will meet you." ”
Zhao Yu also nodded in agreement, and then the two of them went in the direction of Qingxi County.
It is said that on the way to Qingxi County, they met a person.
At noon, the two looked for a tea shed to rest for a while, only to see a plainly dressed man come up to greet him, the two only asked for two bowls of herbal tea, and the person who came to deliver the tea for a while was the Qiaoyu they had seen.
Qiao Yu was also surprised, but more happy, "Brother Chu, Brother Zhao, why are you here?" Ay? What about Miss Shanshan? Isn't she with you? ”
Chu Yu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "We're going to go sightseeing, we happened to be passing by, Shanshan had other things to do, and she didn't come with us." ”
Qiaoyu smiled, "So that's the case", she beckoned as she said that, and the man just now also came over, Qiaoyu happily introduced, "Xingyu, let me introduce you, this is the Chu Gongzi and Zhao Gongzi I mentioned to you, they are both good people." ”
"Young Master Chu, Young Master Zhao."
Luo Xingyusheng is a bookish person, his eyebrows are lighter, and he speaks slowly, and he raises his hands and feet to feel like a reader, and it is precisely like this, he feels a little more approachable.
"Thanks to you, we can get together, otherwise, I don't know if we can see each other again......"
Speaking of which, on the day of the beheading of Ye's father and son, Du Heng went home to pick up Aunt Du into the city, Qiaoyu also followed, Luo Xingyu had been released at that time, and the two were waiting for this happy moment at the execution ground, after the crowd dispersed, the two recognized each other and burst into tears, that is, Aunt Du sighed, Du Heng didn't know why she was like this, Aunt Du didn't say anything more, this secret was only known to her, pity her for a lot of age, I want to find a daughter-in-law for my son, and I happened to see Qiaoyu's note, recognized that it was Du Heng's note, and wanted to match the two of them, but Qiaoyu already had a heart, and it seemed that his son had no idea, so he could only sigh alone.
In fact, Du Heng knew that Qiaoyu was the one who was thrown into the mass grave at the beginning, because the person who saved Qiaoyu was her, and he also put her there, so that she could find him along the way, he knew that his mother was a kind-hearted person, and she would definitely take Qiaoyu in, and sure enough, everything was the same as he thought.
In fact, although he said that he was sick and did not contact the Ye father and son, he still kept an eye on their dynamics, not to mention that he didn't believe that Zhao Yun would rebel, so he had been waiting for an opportunity, and finally, Chu Yu appeared.
It's just that Qiaoyu will never know who her life-saving benefactor is, when Luo Xingyu saw that Qiaoyu was still alive, he was disgusted, ashamed, happy, and all kinds of complex emotions came to his heart, only to blame him for not having the ability, watching the woman he liked being bullied by other men but helpless.
From then on, they will only spend the rest of their lives together in this small tea shed, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, which is the best blessing from God to them.
"Eh~ As the saying goes, a lover eventually becomes a family, the two of you have experienced so much, and it can be regarded as bitter and sweet, but it's a pity that we can't eat your happy wine, so we will replace the wine with tea, and first congratulate you on getting old!"
Saying that, Chu Yu drank the tea in the bowl and looked up and smiled, Zhao Yu At the same time, Qiaoyu and Luo Xingyu also smiled happily, and at this time, a voice was heard from afar.
The four of them looked up, only to see Shanshan standing in the distance in green clothes, smiling, smiling like a flower, lifting the burden upward, raising his hand to greet them, the bamboo forest behind her has become her foil, her smile, like a person in the painting, not powdered but handsome, not like an ordinary woman-like softness, Shanshan gives people a bamboo-like upward and vital narrow woman feeling.
When Zhao Yu saw Shanshan, he hurriedly looked back at Chu Yu and said, "Childe, it's Miss Shanshan." ”
Chu Yu had already put down the big bowl of tea, opened the folding fan, his sideburns moved with the breeze, and his left hand was raised, and he naturally went down, "Hmm." ”
Qiaoyu looked at Shanshan who walked towards them even more happily.
"Qiaoyu, it turns out that you came here, Aunt Du said you left, I thought you went to the capital!"
Qiaoyu said with a smile, "I'm sorry to make you miss it, I've been to the capital, but Xingyu and I still decided to open a tea shed here to provide a place for passers-by to rest, not only to make a living, but also to give pedestrians a place to take a cool break." ”
She looked at Luo Xingyu with a smile in her eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled, full of happiness.
Shanshan saw them so happy and happy for them, but Zhao Yu asked, "How did Miss Shanshan appear here?" ”
"Yes, I thought Shanshan you went back to pay tribute to General Bai and Madame Bai, why did you appear here again?"
Speaking of this, Shanshan couldn't help but say, "Brother Chu, you're right, I went back to pay tribute to my father and my mother, but I rushed back overnight, since my father's belief in his life is to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, he can't complete it, I will finish it, but I didn't know that you and Brother Zhao Yu left after I came back, so I chased it all the way, fortunately, I guessed the direction correctly, so I caught up with you, otherwise, I'm afraid I will have to look for a long time!" ”
Chu Yu couldn't help but laugh loudly after hearing this, "It's really hard for you!" ”
Zhao Yu also smiled when he heard this, "Although Miss Shanshan is often cheated by others, her luck is still good!" ”
"Brother Zhao Yu! I'm going to be angry if you mention that again! ”
Seeing Shanshan pouting and not turning her head to get angry, several people laughed, and there were bursts of laughter in the small tea shed, but this was a temporary happiness.
After leaving the tea shed, the three of them set out on a road to find the old monarch.
What is the road ahead, I still don't know, or there are tigers, leopards and jackals, or there are swords, mountains and fires, but there are red faces on the road, there are brothers walking together, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, what about it?
