Chapter 187: At the time of parting, the concubine said congratulations first
The ship traveled hundreds of nautical miles, and Su Tan's hatch was closed all day long. In addition to the wine jar, the dishes, dry food, and even water that were sent to him were removed intact.
Ji Fei knew that he couldn't take his wife with him, the master was fine on the surface, but he definitely didn't feel good in his heart.
Wei Moqin asked the maid to hand over the book, which was crushed for Su Tan, and Ji Fei picked out large pieces, put them together, and read them.
"Three years ago, when I took my husband to find the undersea tung oil, the brilliance in your eyes made me instantly understand that you never intended to be Su Tan forever, and coming to the island to live in seclusion was just a step for you to retreat. Zhou Yiyun: The inchworm is bent in order to stretch it, the ambition of the husband is not dead, and it will happen sooner or later if he leaves here.
"Don't get me wrong, the concubine didn't mean to blame you, she just blamed herself for not being angry, and dragged you down several times. Originally, I thought that the purple girl on the road behind could accompany her husband, and the concubine was very pleased, but one day she was disappointed to find that her daughter Miaoling was not born prematurely, but gave birth at term, so she would be so white and cute, much healthier than our Jingqin. That shows that Ziquan'er was a pregnant woman before she went to the island, and the child in her womb was not her husband's daughter. ”
Because the confetti was too broken, there was a large paragraph in the middle that could not be spelled out of the original sentence, and I don't know what was written.
At the end of the letter, he said, "Last night, the concubine was a husband and a gentleman, and the hexagram said that the hidden dragon should not be used, the yang energy was hidden, and the dragon was in the field, and the world was civilized." Looking at what the husband is planning, the concubine has the courage to assert that when the husband returns to Beijing this time, he will be able to win and fulfill his long-cherished wish. At the time of parting, the concubine first said congratulations. ”
After reading it, Ji Fei sighed, it seems that Madame really did not escape from the island in the sea of fire, and this letter is her last letter.
As soon as the master planned to return to Middle-earth, his wife parted ways with him, and the master must have been very uncomfortable, otherwise the food sent would not have moved.
On the second day, Ji Fei delivered food to Su Tan, and seeing that what was sent yesterday had not been moved, he couldn't help but push open the hatch and solemnly persuaded: "The master doesn't even drink water, this is a very dangerous thing in navigation, and we don't have a doctor with the ship, in case the master falls down and returns to the Central Plains full of dangers, the consequences will be unimaginable...... Master? ”
After saying these words in one breath, Ji Fei found that there was no one in the cabin.
At first, it was strange for him to lead the deck guards on patrol almost day and night, and he didn't see his master open the doors and windows. And the wine jars that are delivered every day are all drunk without exception.
"Wow!"
In the dark and empty cabin, a wine burp suddenly sounded, startling Ji Fei.
In the dim light, he saw a snow-white tiger lying on the ground, holding a jar of wine in its two front paws, pouring sweet wine into the tiger's mouth.
Ji Fei's first absurd thought was actually ...... Could it be that the owner has turned into a white tiger?
Because it was too ridiculous, he immediately vetoed it, and then wondered if it was the white tiger who attacked the master and ate the master, so there was no master in the cabin, only the white tiger!
But there was no bloodstains or broken clothes in the room, and there was no sound of fighting, and even if he was a tiger king, he didn't have the ability to swallow his master alive.
Having said that, the coercion brought by the white tiger to Ji Fei was very strong, making him feel a chill.
Ji Fei immediately drew his sword, made a gesture of self-defense, and shouted in his mouth, "Kill!" ”
The white tiger was not frightened, raised his head and poured another sip of wine, shook the wine jar empty, and smashed it with one claw.
Ji Fei pulled a sword flower, intending to let go and fight with the white tiger.
The white tiger just raised his eyelids, lazily lowered his eyelids, spread his limbs, and lay on the floor, with an arrogant expression that the uncle wanted to find death at his disposal.
Ji Fei secretly wondered, this white tiger is not a sperm, how can he be an animal, and still have the same expression as a human?
Ji Fei thought again, could it be that this tiger was a pet raised by the owner, and he was put here to drink for him, and the owner himself turned back to the island to find his wife?
Although he was full of doubts, Ji Fei still served good wine and meat and entertained the white tiger, expecting it to "give a pointer" and give a clue to the whereabouts of the owner.
The white tiger doesn't eat meat, and he doesn't touch pork, beef, raw meat, or cooked meat, he just drinks wildly with a wine jar, comes to a few jars to dry a few jars, and Ji Fei secretly wonders.
After seven or eight days of this kind of suspense, Su Tan has never been seen, Ji Fei is very worried, the fleet has been wandering at sea for many days, and if it is delayed, it will be cut off from food.
Where the hell did the owner go?
That night, Ji Fei passed by the cabin, and saw a white-clothed figure inside between the doors, and immediately held down the saber and pushed the hatch open.
Su Tan was dressed in a white robe, with a straight back, sitting at the square table and reading something.
Ji Fei asked in surprise: "Master, are you finally back?" Why don't you notify your subordinates when you go out? A white tiger suddenly appeared in the room, and your subordinates thought you had been harmed by it! ”
Su Tan's pen did not stop, bowed slightly, and ordered: "There are two desert islands in the northeast, the fleet set sail, first go there to replenish supplies, and then set sail and return to the Central Plains as fast as possible." ”
Ji Fei hesitated, he turned his head, looked around at the cabin, and then asked curiously, "Where is the white tiger?" I also saw it at noon, where can such a big beast hide? "It's strange, the master has returned, and the white tiger can't be found again.
"Okay, you go ahead and ask someone to draw a nautical chart half a zhang wide and one zhang long." Su Tan waved his hand.
"Yes......"
Although he looked very busy and didn't want to talk to Ji Fei more, Ji Fei still noticed that his blood-red eyes were full of bloodshots, as if he hadn't closed his eyes and rested in the days he had been missing.
Ji Fei was still happy in his heart, the master came back, and he was not immersed in the sadness of losing his wife.
And Ji Fei didn't dare to tell his master that it was not only his wife who was missing, but also their daughter Jingqin. Since that day the island was on fire, no one in the entire fleet of more than 100 people has seen them.
Half a day later, following Su Tan's instructions, the fleet came to the desert island, a group of people went inland to look for fresh water, and a group of people went into the forest to hunt and gather berries.
Ji Fei didn't worry about his master, so he went to the door of the cabin every half a pillar of incense, for fear that if he didn't see it at a glance, the master would leave the fleet and disappear without a trace.
There was a violent coughing sound in the cabin, and from time to time there was a cough, and Ji Fei felt a twitch when he heard it. The internal strength is profound, the external strength is strong, the master has never been sick, but now he coughs so badly, it must be because the lady left him!
Ji Fei really didn't understand Madame, since she even had the courage to die, why couldn't she return to the Central Plains with her master, but chose to die in the vast sea of fire?
Thinking of that beautiful face with a bright smile and a smile that people couldn't force to look at, Ji Fei felt as if he was hallucinating in front of him, and he really saw his wife's voice and smile, which appeared on the side of the mountain not far away......
The first reaction, could it be that the dead lady has appeared?
"No, it's a mirage!" Ji Fei opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Isn't that Madame?" She wasn't burned, she was alive! Otherwise, how can you see it in a mirage! ”
Ji Fei was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly rushed into the cabin, speaking incoherently, he simply put Su Tan's arm on his back, dragged him to the deck, pointed to the mountain top in the distance, and laughed loudly: "Look, that's Madame, she's still alive, she's not dead!" ”
"Qin'er ......"
Su Tan raised his eyes, and his bloodshot pupils suddenly became crystal bright, landing on the mirage, and his gaze instantly froze.
"Qin'er, it's really your ......"
Su Tan stared at the illusory scene a hundred zhang away, opened his five fingers, and grabbed a handful in the air.
In the scene, Wei Moqin was dressed as a village girl, pushing the stone mill, pouring corn into the grinding heart, occasionally turning her head and laughing, I don't know who was standing behind her, and only a man's sleeve appeared in the scene.
This scene disappeared in less than the time of tea, and there was no trace left in the air, as if the scene was an illusion of Su Tan and Ji Fei.
Su Tan took two steps back, leaning on the mast dejectedly, endless loneliness and loneliness, without words and expressions, which deeply touched Ji Fei on the side, as if he was also infected with sadness.
Ji Fei persuaded softly: "At least you know that she is still alive, and there will always be a day to meet." ”
Su Tan: "......"
********
Five days later, the fleet returned to the Central Plains, and Yu Wentan, the god of war who had fallen like a comet, reappeared in the eyes of the world.
Two and a half months later, Emperor Wenxuan announced in front of the hundred officials that because he had an incurable disease, he was determined to abdicate the throne and make way for the virtuous.
Regarding this period of time, there are historical records that Emperor Wenxuan reigned for 19 years, but unfortunately he had no children under his knees. The first emperor had three sons, the eldest son, the old prince Yuzhang, asked for immortals to visit the Tao, the second son Emperor Wenxuan, and the third son, Yuwang Yuwentan, was a young and courageous young man, and the most Xiao ancestor Yu Lie.
In the winter of the sixth year of Qiongfeng, Emperor Wenxuan got the revelation of the ancestors of the Yuwen clan in his dream, and established the emperor's younger brother Yuwen Tan as the emperor's younger brother, and Keri passed on the throne.
On November 29, the sixth year of Qiongfeng, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the emperor was called Jingwu. For a while, the government and the opposition praised it, and all directions came to congratulate.
Half a month after ascending the throne, Yu Wentan urgently recalled the national teacher who had traveled abroad to the court, and issued a holy decree, so that he could use the blood of his relatives back then, so that he could find out the "soul search bead" that people found, and find out the national teacher's sister-in-law Wei Moqin.
It turned out that this young monk with eyes like a star, red lips and white teeth, and who looked to be only in his twenties, was the national teacher that the former Emperor Wenxuan relied on the most. He is also the eldest son of Hubu Shangshu and the eldest brother of Empress Wei Moqin, Wei Shuyue.
Although Wei Moqin was not present for even half a moment from Yuwen Tan's entry into Beijing, to receiving the Zhaoshu to inheriting the great treasure, as soon as the new emperor's holy edict was issued, she was still crowned as the queen and heard all over the world. It's just that people from all over the world don't know that the queen doesn't live in the harem at the moment.
The national teacher looked gentle and told the Holy Son of Heaven: "Back to Your Majesty, there is nothing the minister can do about this matter, even if you put more blood on the soul bead, it will be difficult to find the queen." ”
Yuwen raised his eyebrows and asked angrily, "Why?" Are you trying to hide her whereabouts? ”
The national teacher said: "More than 40 days ago, the minister's Buddha beads were scattered on the ground, and there were relatives in his heart, according to ancient scriptures, this situation usually occurs as a sign of the death of a loved one. ”
"More than forty days ago, ......" Yuwen Tan was stunned, that was the time when Tanqin Island fell into a sea of fire.
"The parents, second brother, and younger sister of the Chen's family are all fine, and it can be inferred that something happened to the younger sister Moqin." The national teacher clasped his hands together.
"You dare to curse her?" Yuwen Tan said angrily, "I saw with my own eyes, the mirage shows that she is living in a farmhouse, I don't know how happy she is!" ”
"Amitabha," the national teacher said, "I don't dare to deceive the saints, the so-called mirage may not be what happened at that time." Many years ago, when the ministers visited the mountains and rivers, they saw Your Majesty wearing a dragon robe, worshipping the ministers, and you were the prince at that time. Based on this, it can be inferred that the queen you see may be a description of her during her lifetime, which cannot be accurate. ”
After a long time, Yu Wentan said: "I don't care how much, I know that you must have a way to bring her to see me, if you can wake her up once, you will definitely be able to wake her up twice or three times." ”
The national teacher advised: "The past cannot be traced, the deceased cannot be kept, why should Your Majesty go against the sky?" ”
Yuwen Tan showed a look of resentment on his face, and said coldly: "She left without explanation, and committed the crime of bullying the king, I must arrest her back." National teacher, you must help me fulfill my wish, otherwise I will destroy your three clans! ”
The national teacher said with a smile: "The minister's little sister is the queen, the minister is the uncle of the country, within the three clans, even His Majesty is included." ”
Yuwen Tan said arrogantly: "Anyway, if you don't bring her to me, you don't want to leave the palace!" ”
As he spoke, a holy decree put the national teacher in prison.
Three days later, the national teacher in the prison finally relented, and he asked, "It is difficult to find the queen to enter the palace, it is easier to send Your Majesty to see her, dare to ask Your Majesty is willing to give up everything you have and go to 'one place' to see her?" ”
