After Lin Suwen left, bad news came day by day.

First of all, King Rui, who fled back to the fiefdom, reversed, and also announced to the world that there were a lot of high-sounding reasons, but they framed Xiao Zhuo for being immoral and incompetent, and could not be the lord of Sheng Liang.

The battle ahead was stalemate, General Zhang He led his troops to leave Shengjing and go to Yingzhou to face the battle, my senior brother was still by Xiao Zhuo's side, and Hongwen Pavilion was unexpectedly idle.

At the beginning, the imperial court established the Hongwen Pavilion, but because Xiao Tan was seriously ill, Shengjing's demonic spirit was too heavy, and the charm and evil were full of disasters, and now Xiao Tan is dead, Xiao Zhuo succeeded to the throne, and the qi of the Son of Heaven is flourishing, not to mention any monsters, even a small yin spirit is rare, we are warlocks, just kill demons, and can not participate in the government, day by day idle panic, almost moldy.

I originally wanted to ask Xiao Zhuo for war and go to the south of Xinjiang to help the Lin family's people exterminate the Suhe Lan clan, but the Lin family came back with the news that their side was about to end, so that I was full of blood and was poured a basin of cold water.

The people of the Lin family said that they had beheaded the head of the Lan family and dispersed all the cultists they had gathered, and peace had returned to southern Xinjiang.

But Lin heard about it, but he didn't come back.

Didn't bring me any news of that teenager either.

I was a little worried, and I wanted to ask him what was going on, but thinking of Lin Yiqiu's previous attitude towards me, I could guess that I was probably stumped by his father.

In the blink of an eye, it is almost two months of the agreed time, in the early spring, the weather in Shengjing warms up, and the weeping willows on the side of the road have pulled out new shoots.

I sat in the teahouse in the city, listening to the chaotic and noisy discussions of the people around me, and occasionally heard a few Liang Yan's murmurs coming from the eaves opposite, and then I thought that I had come to Shengjing for almost a year.

A year, not long, not short, more than 300 days, but I met so many people and happened so many things.

My sister is gone, my master is gone, and those who have died, along with the days flowing away, as if they are separated from each other, as if they are standing on the other side of time, quietly waiting for my arrival.

The parting of life and death, due to fate, is inevitably embarrassing.

raised his hand to add a cup of hot tea for himself, but saw the senior brother coming in a hurry, put the long sword on the table, and said, "Sorry, Scarlet, I'm late......"

In order to get rid of him, I have to rack my brains every day, run several streets, and then pant in front of my senior brother, who will always prepare a cup of warm tea for me, but now, it is the other way around.

I put the freshly poured tea in front of him and said, "I know you're busy, and I'm fine, so just wait, you don't have to rush over so quickly." ”

The senior brother said: "I have nothing to do today, I should not be on duty in the palace, but in the early morning, my mother had a headache, although I invited a doctor to come, I still didn't feel at ease, so I had to take care of it at home." ”

My hand paused and said worriedly, "Auntie, is she okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

The senior brother hurriedly said: "Just because I went to Fahua Temple yesterday to offer incense, blew some wind, drink some medicine, and lie down at home." ”

Hearing this, I complained: "Since my aunt is in poor health, you should take care of her at home, and you shouldn't come out." ”

"I said you two ......"

The senior brother said with tears and laughter: "Mother knows that I have an appointment with you, and she taught me a hard lesson, urging me to come to you, but now, you want to drive me back?" ”

"The doctor has already seen it, it's really fine, when I come out, my mother will go to the ancestral hall to recite the scriptures, so don't worry."

I asked again, "What about Uncle Fu?" I haven't been walking around the court a lot lately, I haven't seen him for a long time, is he okay? ”

My concern for Uncle Fu is naturally different from that of my aunt, and it is more of a suspicion, I don't know if he has let go of what happened back then, and whether he still has hatred for Sheng Liang.

If you want to take advantage of the internal and external troubles in the court and want to do something to Xiao Zhuo, the result is really unimaginable.

"Father, he ......"

The senior brother was speechless, as if he was embarrassed, and then eased his expression and said: "Father, he has been a little busy recently, and you also know that there is a war going on in Yingzhou, and many military salaries and materials have to be prepared by my father, and I am also busy with things in the palace. ”

I hummed casually, I also knew about Uncle Fu's preparations for the imperial court's military salary, because I was afraid that he would do something, and I paid special attention to it, but I didn't find anything.

At least until now, he has done his best to help Xiao Zhuo quell the chaos.

"Where has Brother Chen been recently, why haven't you seen him all the time?"

"Don't you know, Brother Chen left for Yingzhou to join the army last month, saying that he wanted to serve the king."

"Go to Yingzhou to join the army?"

A thin scholar was particularly surprised and asked, "The Chen family is only his only son, and his uncle and aunt are willing to give it up?" ”

The scholar on the opposite side said: "What is there to be reluctant to?" The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, now Yingzhou is in an emergency, the traitor bullied the king and succeeded to the throne, if I am the same as Brother Chen, I am a person who practices martial arts, and I should also go to Yingzhou to serve the country, but it is useless to be a scholar, and I can't even lift a knife, how to go into battle to kill the enemy? ”

"Brother Sun's words are wrong, although we can't go into battle to kill the enemy, but we can use pen and ink as a sword, and do what we can for the king, the traitor is now framing the king for being cruel and unkind, losing virtue and losing government, it is really ridiculous, who doesn't know that today's king is benevolent and filial, and is a rare Ming Jun? But the traitor, when the first king was seriously ill, did not see him ask for medicine, after the death of the first king, as a son of man, let alone the guardian, he did not even participate in the funeral ceremony, such a great rebellion, the person whose virtue has been lost, should be exposed by us, so that he will not deceive the people of the world again. ”

The death of the king and the escape of King Rui from Beijing caused everyone's criticism, and in addition, over the years, their father and son have been arrogant and domineering in Yingzhou and Shengjing, bullying the people, and have long lost the hearts of the people.

Moreover, I heard that not only Sheng Liang's subjects, but also the Beibi Mountain laborers who had been ordered back by Xiao Zhuo before, were also running around in their hometown, calling on the Qin people to join the army to resist the enemy.

Those Qin people, Ben and Sheng Liang have a deep blood feud, but now that Xiao Tan is dead, Xiao Zhuo is in power, no matter what hatred there is, it should not be harmed by the next generation of innocent people, not to mention, not long ago, the flood in Qindi, Xiao Zhuo tried his best to eliminate public opinion, exempted them from taxes, and also opened the treasury to provide disaster relief for them, all of which made them feel grateful in their hearts, and they were naturally willing to charge for him.

I think that in this war, if nothing else, the person who will win in the end will be Xiao Zhuo.

The senior brother was also attracted by the discussion of those people, and a look of envy clearly appeared between his eyebrows, I know that the Yingzhou military rebellion, he originally wanted to join the army.

So he asked softly: "Senior brother, do you also want to go to Yingzhou?" ”

The senior brother was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, it is naturally good to be able to rush to Yingzhou and kill the enemy with the soldiers on the front line, but heroes always have a place to play, I am staying in the palace now, guarding His Royal Highness, it is also a kind of service to the country, not to mention, my mother is not in good health, I don't want her to be frightened anymore." ”

Hearing him say this, I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm relieved that you can think so." ”

Afraid that he would be cranky when he listened to the remarks of those scholars, I hurriedly got up to say goodbye and left the teahouse with my senior brother.

Walking on the street, he saw the Praetorian Guards looking for something, and the senior brother stopped a general and asked, "What happened?" ”

The other party obviously also knew the senior brother, so he hurriedly gave a salute and replied: "Master Fu, it's like this, someone in Beijing has found Lu Weilou's traces, and we are being ordered to arrest him." ”

Hearing Lu Weilou's name, Senior Brother frowned, his face immediately sank, and then he looked at me tentatively.

I know that he can't let go of his sister's death.

Same with me.

After a moment, he suppressed his expression and said, "Then you should be careful, if there is any news, remember to go to the Fu Mansion to inform me." ”

Seeing the Praetorian Guards leading the order to leave, the senior brother turned to look at me and said worriedly, "It's ...... scarlet."

I smiled and said, "Is he now a self-defeating man?" ”

"No matter what it is, I always feel that if the person who comes is not good, he will definitely be unfavorable to you."

The senior brother still remembers that he stabbed me, and said, "If you move to the Fu family and live with me, I can rest assured." ”

"Senior brother, Hongwen Pavilion is not an ordinary place, not to mention, it is ...... now"

I wanted to say that now that there is no junior sister here, Lu Weilou is not afraid at all, but I am afraid that mentioning my junior sister will make my senior brother sad, so I paused and changed my words: "Last time it was just an accident, with my current cultivation, he wants to hurt me, and it is far away." ”

Seeing that I insisted on refusing to go to the Fu family, the senior brother was no longer reluctant, sighed, and said, "No matter what, you must be careful, if there is anything, you must go to the Fu family to find me." ”

I hummed, suddenly thought of something, and asked my senior brother, "I haven't seen Qin Tuo for a long time, how is he now?" ”

Since I returned to Shengjing from Lumei Villa, I have not been in good health, and I don't have much energy to teach him anymore, but fortunately, Qin Tuo is now at the age of entering school, and his senior brother sent him to Taixue to study.

But I am his master in the end, although I can't teach him anything, I should have care in daily life.

Speaking of Qin Tuo, the senior brother stretched his eyebrows and said: "That kid is hard-working, diligent and studious, the last time I met his gentleman in Taixue, Mr. praised him for being very well-behaved and sensible." ”

"He has always wanted to see you, but I read that he has a lot of schoolwork and you are not in good health, so I didn't let him go to the Hongwen Pavilion to find you, if you are okay today, I will let him go to see you, so that he can rest assured."
