The weather is getting hotter, everyone is careful of colds when reducing clothes, and don't believe that there will be no more colds within a month after a cold, I am deeply mistaken by this fallacy~~~
βββββββββββββββββββββββ this is the dividing line that is darker if you listen to itββββββββββββ
The imperial capital of Jinling is divided into two parts: the inner palace city and the outer imperial city, and the palace city is responsible for the forbidden army directly under the emperor's direct jurisdiction, and the current supreme commander is Meng Zhi, the commander of the forbidden army. Compared with the single palace city, the division of labor in the imperial city is relatively much more complicated. Civil criminal cases, daily inspections, arrest of bandits, water and fire rescue are the responsibilities of the Jingzhao Yamen, the city gate guard, night curfew, suppression of weapons and other matters are under the management of the patrol battalion, Jingzhao Yamen is considered a local government, to the six departments to reinstate, the patrol battalion should be under the control of the military department in terms of establishment, but for a long time, because its direct commander Ningguo Marquis is higher than the military department Shangshu, so it is transcendent and independent, the military department does not dare to give any orders to it. In addition, there are several private soldiers in the imperial city, and the East Palace has been included in the imperial city since the Hui Emperor Dynasty became independent from the inner palace city, and it has been included in the scope of the imperial city, according to the system of 3,000 soldiers, 2,000 princes' mansions, 1,000 county princes' mansions, and 800 military marquis' mansions. These privileged mansions will more or less affect the movement of the imperial city, and it can be said that the forces of all parties are intertwined, stirring up like a mess. Now Xie Yu, who is also the commander of the patrol battalion, has collapsed suddenly, as if he has forcibly pulled out one of the mess, making the rest even more messy.
About a month after the funeral of the Queen Mother, the edict was approved, and Xie Yu walked out of the Heavenly Prison Netherworld and prepared to go to Qianzhou, the place of exile. He was born in a family, young and still in the lord, tired of being a military marquis, authoritarian over the years, once the ice and snow melted, it was like a mirror and a moon, Huang Liang woke up from a dream, wealth disappeared, only to see a pair of shackles, like other exiles, escorted by two rough servants, even the water and fire stick did not carry one more than others.
Fortunately, the time of departure of the exile prisoners was always early in the morning, and there were still few people on the streets, and there were no onlookers and mocking voices, which made Xie Yu feel a little more comfortable. He was not punished in prison, not even a routine arraignment, and although his case was eventually settled by Emperor Liang, he had not seen this Liang Supreme since he was imprisoned. Of course, the food in prison is far from the word "good", but it is good to be full, and the bad rules of the prison guards who abuse people in private have also been eliminated due to the proper management of the new criminal department, so when Xie Yu walked towards the south gate of Jinling City with a heavy flail, his physical condition was not bad.
When the escorts and prisoners arrived at the Nanyue Gate, it was just the time of the opening of the city, and the guards at the Imperial City Gate were naturally the patrol battalion generals, who at first did not notice who the prisoners with scattered hair and flails and chains were waiting for the heavy city gate to be unlocked. Later, one of the officials in charge of escorting met an acquaintance among the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and after the two exchanged pleasantries, the officer gave a look to the past frivolously, and said in a voice that was not suppressed at all: "Ah, look at your former boss, what about the marquis, you didn't dare to look up at him directly a few months ago, buddy, now go and take a look, it's not a nose and two eyes, and your waist is not as straight as you!" β
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused a slight uproar at the scene. These low-level officers and soldiers basically have no direct contact with Xie Yu, and they usually think of Xie Houye, who is like a person on the clouds, and the people on the clouds are now falling into the quagmire, standing in front of him, and it is impossible not to show some curiosity. So soon, most of the dozens of officers and soldiers on duty surrounded most of them, and some of them couldn't see clearly because Xie Yu's hair covered their faces, and they were ready to stretch out their hands to take a closer look.
"What? Give me all back! A heavy voice sounded at this moment, and the owner of the voice quickly squeezed over, trying to push the crowd away, "What's there to see, the city gates are open, and you can't go where you should stand!" β
"Uncle Seven," one of the officers and soldiers said in a lengthened tone, "just opened the city gate, there were not half a ghost, and the brothers just wanted to see it, but they didn't do anything." β
"Would you like to be seen like this?"
"I don't commit crimes, so why should people see me? He's not the eldest marquis now, why are you currying favor with him? β
Uncle Seven's face sank, he spat on the ground, and scolded: "When people are the marquis, they should be pleased, and if they commit something, they should step on it, what kind of man is a snob like this?" β
In fact, most of the onlookers were just curious, and they were naturally angry when they were scolded like this, but fortunately, this seventh uncle is usually very popular and has deep qualifications. The two officials watched from the side as if they were watching a good show, and from time to time they provoked a few sentences, but Xie Yu himself, who had caused chaos, quietly stepped aside, hiding his whole face behind his beard, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
The small leader in charge of this group of officers and soldiers was originally just sitting on the sidelines and didn't want to care, in the army, when is it not a small quarrel in three days, a big quarrel in five days, and it will be fine if you don't fight and hurt people, not to mention that now the genius is bright, the city gate is deserted, and it is boring anyway, so everyone should warm up. But then he inadvertently saw the two officials quietly pouting and showing disdain, and suddenly realized that there were outsiders present, which inevitably made people see the jokes of the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion, and at that moment his anger rose in his heart, and he grabbed a whip from the side and cracked it crackly, and scolded loudly: "Shut up the fuck Lao Tzu!" β
Although he is only a small leader, the county official is not as good as taking care of it now, seeing that he suddenly became angry, everyone did not dare to disobey in surprise, and obediently closed his mouth and dispersed. Seeing that the show was over, the two officials did not continue to add firewood, but pushed Xie Yu out of the city gate.
Out of the Nanyue Gate, it is a loess avenue, which is very flat and easy to walk. Xie Yu's martial arts skills were not weak, and he didn't give the two escorts a chance to beat them with sticks, and he didn't walk slowly. About half an hour later, when the sky was already bright, a servant stopped to wipe his sweat, and inadvertently glanced back, only to see the dust flying, and a horse-drawn carriage with a black cover and black circle galloping.
The three of them flashed to the side of the road together, and the two officials looked curiously, but Xie Yu turned his back and half-hid in the thatch beside the road.
The carriage stopped a few feet away from the three of them, the curtain was lifted, and a young man in plain clothes jumped down, stuffed a large ingot of silver into the hands of one of the two officials, and said in a low voice: "Those who have come to see them off, please make it convenient." β
Although I don't know who it is, but the one who came to see Xie Yu off must not be a gangster, the two officials are extremely interesting, laughed together, and stood aside.
"Daddy......" Xie Bi called out tremblingly, his eyes were red, "Are you okay?" β
Xie Yu stood silently for a long time, and finally responded lightly: "Hmm." β
Xie Bi opened his mouth again, as if he didn't know what to say next, and stayed for a moment before turning back to look at the carriage.
Xie Yu suddenly understood that there were still people in the car, and he couldn't help but jump in his eyes. In this situation, he didn't know if he wanted to see her again. However, whether he wanted to see it or not, there was no choice at the moment. The curtain of the carriage was lifted again, and Liyang, who was dressed in filial piety, slowly stepped out of the carriage. To Xie Yu's surprise, the person who accompanied and supported the somewhat weak eldest princess turned out to be Xiao Jingrui.
When there were still five or six steps away from Xie Yu, Xiao Jingrui let go of his mother and stopped where he was. The eldest princess of Liyang continued to walk in front of Xie Yu and stared at him quietly. Xie Bi wanted his parents to say two words alone, and he realized that Jing Rui was now conflicted and sad in his heart, so he walked over and pulled him farther away.
"Is it over?" After a long silence, the eldest princess asked the first question.
"Nope."
"How can I help?"
"No," Xie Yu shook his head, "You can't protect me in the capital, and you are even more powerless in the vast rivers and lakes." β
The gaze of the eldest princess of Liyang was calm and sad. Although I have been crying a lot recently, and the color around my eye sockets has been withered and yellow, and the wrinkles are deep, the eye waves in my eyes still have a lingering autumn water look, occasionally rippling, and still intoxicating.
"That Mr. Su...... Yesterday he sent to me and told me that you should hand me a letter. β
"Letter?" Xie Yu was stunned, but when he thought that it was what the thought-making Mei Changsu said, he didn't dare to wait for it, and he was busy racking his brains and thinking about it.
"The man said, if you haven't written it yet, tell you to write it now, because there must be something deeper behind what you said, write it down, give it to me, and you can live." The eldest princess of Liyang didn't know the meaning of these words, she just relayed them carefully and word by word.
Although this man killed her youthful love song, although this man had tried to murder her children, after all, there were more than twenty years of husband and wife relationship, he was the father of her three children, and she did not want to hear the news of his tragic death, especially when this man himself did not want to die.
Xie Yu's eyes rolled, and suddenly he suddenly realized what Mei Changsu meant.
The secrets he mastered, in addition to what he told Mei Changsu in person that day, there were many things that he didn't want to say for the time being, or couldn't say. This is a long road of torture, if Xia Jiang wants to kill him, he can't prevent it at all. The only way to save his life is to write down all the secrets in his heart and entrust them to Liyang for safekeeping, if he is okay, Liyang will not disclose his manuscript, if he dies, the manuscript will become ironclad evidence. Xia Jiang is not a fool, he knows that it is better to let himself live, no matter how unreliable he is, he will not casually tell the secret related to the common life and death of the two, but he is dead, and everything cannot be saved.
This is really, indeed the last straw......
The eldest princess of Liyang still looked at him quietly, quietly waiting for his decision, without any intention of urging and persuading.
Xie Yu's heart suddenly heated, and his eyes couldn't help but damp. Although he has been a grudge for many years, the only person in this world who still dares to believe and dare to have a glimmer of hope is Liyang.
"Do you have pen and paper?" After stabilizing his mind, Xie Yu asked in a low voice.
The eldest princess of Liyang took out a long box from the sleeve pocket of her wide robe, which contained ready-made pen and ink and a long plain silk.
"Write it down on this."
Xie Yu hesitated to look at the two officials who were looking at this side in the distance, and Liyang immediately said: "It's okay, that Mr. Su said, the more people know that you have written this thing, the better." β
Xie Yu immediately comprehended and hurriedly picked up the pen. Because he was carrying the flail, Princess Liyang spread the plain silk on the wooden flail, and when he wrote a few words, she helped him move the silk surface, but from beginning to end, the focus of her eyes fell on those handwritings for a moment. When Xie Yu finished writing easily, she immediately folded the plain silk, put it into an embroidered bag, pulled out a thin needle tied to it, and sealed the mouth of the bag tightly.
"Liyang ......"
"I won't show anyone what you wrote, and I won't read it myself. I don't want to know anything you've done, because for me, it's best to know nothing......" The eldest princess of Liyang put the embroidered bag into her arms, her eyes were sad, "I also prepared some clothes and silver taels, you can use them on the road." β
Xie Yu looked at her softly, wanting to caress her face, as soon as her hand moved, she immediately realized that she was being shackled, so she could only hold back, and said softly: "Liyang, take care of yourself, I will definitely come back and see you again." β
The eldest princess of Liyang's eyes were slightly red, turned her head and didn't answer this sentence, and raised her hand to signal Xie Bi to come over. Xie Yu hurriedly calmed down, and said quickly while his son was not approaching: "Liyang, this embroidered bag, you must not give that Mei Changsu." β
Princess Liyang glanced at him and nodded lightly: "Don't worry, as long as you live, I will always carry this embroidered bag with me." β
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Bi had already walked over. He was a thoughtful person, and he understood when he saw his mother's signal, so he went around to the carriage halfway and took off the baggage, and tied Xie Yu to his back. Xiao Jingrui was still standing far away, occasionally turning his gaze to look over.
Xie Yu has never had a real father-son relationship with Xiao Jingrui, and the eldest prince of Liyang is sad and sad when he thinks of his son, and Xie Bi has always been careful and careful, so no one has come out to call Jingrui over. Everyone looked at each other silently for a while, but Xie Yu said first: "Today's journey is not short, let's break up." Bi'er, take good care of your mother. β
Xie Bi answered, helping his mother to slowly retreat. As soon as the two officials saw that the farewell was over, they also came over with sticks. Xie Yu didn't want to watch Liyang's carriage go away, so he turned around first, took a deep breath, and was about to take a step, when he suddenly felt a chill coming, he couldn't help but shiver, and hurriedly looked around, only to see the surrounding barren grass and ancient roads, and there was no trace of beasts, thinking that he just felt wrong, and shook his head vigorously.
At this moment, he heard Xie Bi gently gasp.
Looking up again, I saw that in front of Fang Cai, who was still empty, the tall thatch of Qi was separated like a wave, and Xia Dong was dressed in a pure black dress and walked over slowly.
If it was just Xia Dong, it was far from enough to make Xie Bi gasp, what really surprised Xie Bi was the expression on Xia Dong's face, which was as deep as the sea, cut to the bone, cold as ice, cold as frost, soaked in resentment and hatred......
