Chapter 143: Departure
Dong Xiao hurried to Shangjing, and after arriving in Shangjing, he went to Guanfu, and he didn't care about the morning or evening, so he dismounted and knocked on the door.
The person guarding the door rubbed his eyes sleepily, and Dong Xiao stepped through the door without saying a word, "I want to see General Guan." ”
The man guarding the door recognized Dong Xiao and led him in. Dong Xiaoli waited in the courtyard for someone to report to Guan Liren.
The door opened, Guan Liren came out with his clothes on, and looked at the movement of Dong Xiao and said, "Come in......"
Dong Xiao entered the house and immediately knelt down, "General, Xiao wants to see his mother." ”
Guan Liren helped him up, "I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to ask to see the saint." ”
"Uncle, Xiao can wait, mother can't wait, I don't want to have any regrets, I haven't seen the last side of my adoptive mother, I have to accompany her in the last moments of my biological mother no matter what, there are not many people in this world who really treat Xiao......"
Hearing her say this, Guan Liren's heart was not comfortable, but now that the palace door has been locked, he has to wait for tomorrow morning for a big matter......
"So I'll accompany you to the Siguo Pavilion now."
Dong Xiao was grateful, bowed his head and knelt down again.
The two of them rushed to Siguo Pavilion together, Guan Feng got the news and came to see the situation, but without saying anything, the two horses rushed out one after the other.
This night is destined to be a restless night......
Thinking about the outside of the pavilion, the guards are tight, and the guards are obviously more than Dong Xiao came last time, he suppressed his anger in his heart, he is still like this, who is he guarding against.
The two dismounted one after the other, and the guards obviously knew Guan Liren, so they immediately bowed and saluted, calling General Guan.
Guan Liren nodded, and asked the guards to get out of the way, he wanted to go in. But the guards did not move, bowed down and apologized, "Without the emperor's decree, my subordinates will not obey their orders......"
"I have a gold medal from the emperor, and seeing the gold medal is like seeing the emperor, isn't that enough?"
The guards of this ...... were hesitant and knelt on the ground to salute, but they could only back down.
Dong Xiao thanked him again, Guan Liren's gold medal is never easy to show, this time it is also painstaking for him, his kindness, he owes it again and again......
The courtyard is quiet, the last time I came here, it was green, but now it is depressed.
Dong Xiao's heart is up and down, and his heart is always hanging. Hesitating, not knowing whether to move forward or not.
I couldn't wait at the beginning, but now I'm getting more and more scared......
When the coughing sound came one after another, Dong Xiao finally couldn't hold back and ran in.
Dong Yulin, who was still taking a nap, stood up when he heard the sound. When he saw that the person who came was Dong Xiao, there was a light of hope in his eyes.
Dong Xiao called his father, Dong Yulin nodded, and he came to Shangguan Ying's bed, calling his mother.
Shangguan Ying had already fallen asleep, calling Xiao'er in a daze, and Dong Xiao held his mother's hand and shed tears......
Guan Liren and Dong Yulin didn't know what they were talking about, the two of them talked at night, and they didn't see him come out when it was dawn......
Shangguan Ying opened her eyes and saw Dong Xiao in front of the bed, he was lying on her side and fell asleep, she trembled and touched his face, her son, who has not been around since he was a child, is now an adult, and he looks so good-looking I heard that she also married a wife, if she could, she would like to see it with her own eyes.
As his mother, she didn't watch him grow up with her own eyes, she was ashamed of him, she just looked at him like that, no matter how she looked at it, it was not enough.
Dong Xiao woke up and saw Shangguan Ying looking at her, her mother was already thin, such a beautiful woman was now as thin as wood under the torture of illness......
In addition to being distressed, it is still distressing......
He smiled slightly and called out "Mother......
Shangguan Ying's tears fell, and her mother broke her heart. She agreed. Tears ran down his eyes and wet his pillow.
Dong Xiao wiped away her tears with tears in his eyes......
Dong Yulin, who was standing outside, saw such a scene, and didn't come in for a long time, Guan Liren's words are still in his ears, and now when he looks at Dong Xiao again, his heart is really different......
Shangguan Ying's life is not long in coming, he really doesn't know that she is gone, what should he do?
The hatred in my heart, is it right or wrong that I have insisted on all these years......
"Xiao'er, I heard that you got married, did you bring it here? Mother wants to meet ......"
Dong Xiao nodded, "When my aunt is alive......"
"Mother knows, I asked your aunt to find a reliable girl to take care of you, and now I am relieved for my mother......" After saying a few words, she coughed again......
Dong Xiao helped her up, and Dong Yulin also came in at this time. Shangguan Ying smiled when he saw him, Dong Yulin also came over, Dong Xiao gave up his seat and watched his father hold his mother in his arms.
He pushed open the door, a cold wind was blowing outside, Guan Liren was no longer there, thinking about his mother's words just now, he was going back to the city.
It was still early, and he planned to make a bowl of porridge for his mother, who had never tasted his craft before.
Thinking of this, he went to the back kitchen, lit a fire to cook, and when he saw the smoke rising, Dong Yulin's heart was irritable, how could he end up in this field now. Has he been wrong all these years? For the sake of dignity, his wife and children fell into passivity, and they also suffered with him......
Dong Xiao brought in the cooked porridge, and Shangguan Ying heard that he had cooked it himself, so he had to come down to eat with them at the long table no matter what.
She couldn't stop nodding her head, and she could joke, "It's much better than your father." ”
The father and son looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of bitterness......
A meal is bittersweet...... After the meal, before Dong Xiao had time to return to the city, Bi'er came to Siguo Pavilion with Guan Feng, Yu Li, and Yu Lin.
Shangguan Ying was in a much better mood when she saw them, especially when she saw Bi'er, she kept holding Bi'er's hand and asking long and short questions. If it weren't for these people, she would probably have asked him about his childhood......
I heard that Yuli and Guan Feng had a child, and said that they would go to see it when they got better.
Hearing that Yu Lin also became a relative, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's all too big...... Now there are only Yuxian and Yi'er left...... Your imperial aunt will definitely be reluctant to give her up. ”
Several people were silent. Today's martial arts competition is in full swing and has come to an end......
When Yi'er was mentioned, everyone in the room looked at Dong Xiao in unison, and he didn't seem to be affected, as if the name they mentioned had nothing to do with him......
Shangguan Ying couldn't sit for a long time, she was tired after a while, and Yuli and Yi'er waited for her to go to bed.
The three men came out of the house, "The ban on Siguo Pavilion has been lifted...... "Guan Liren also came with a holy decree this time.
Early this morning, his father did not return to the house, and went directly to the palace, the emperor has agreed to lift the ban, and now the people in the pavilion can enter and exit at will.
His father sent him over, and at this time the news may have spread, and the news of Shangguan Ying's illness has not been told to Mrs. Shangguan, and now I don't know how long this news can be hidden.
"What's the use of lifting it now?" Dong Xiao was angry and hateful......
Guan Feng and Yu Lin were silent, Dong Xiao's helplessness they all understood......
Guan Feng patted him on the shoulder, Dong Xiao's fate in this life is so bumpy, and now he has a reputation in Mobei, but what can he do, he has struggled all his life less than the emperor's words, his wish is to take his parents out of Siguo Pavilion with a bright future, and now he has got what he wants, and the price is indeed so tragic.
After Guan Feng Yulin and Yuli left, Siguo Pavilion welcomed two unexpected guests at night, Shangguan Jun and Yin Jingchen......
They came quietly, without alarming anyone, only with the guards. Dong Xiao struggled and knelt down to greet the two.
Jing Chen personally helped him up, "Hurry up, how is your mother?" ”
Dong Xiao shook his head, and Yin Jingchen's tears fell, "Ying'er's life...... It's a bitter ......."
Dong Yulin stood outside the door and did not stop them. It's just that when Shangguan Jun looked at each other, neither of them spoke.
Shangguan Ying was very happy when she saw Jing Chen, and took her hand and shouted, "Third sister-in-law," just like many years ago......
She said why are you here, did you quarrel with my third brother? While coughing as she spoke, Jing Chen stopped her from continuing, "No, your third brother has also come to see you." ”
When she heard it, she looked at the people standing on the ground, and tears fell, "Third brother......"
Shangguan Jun took a few steps forward, looking at her skinny appearance, and his heart was not good...... frowned and asked her to recuperate.
Shangguan Ying agreed, and said that when she got better, she would go to Junchen Palace to have a look...... Jing Chen agreed with tears on his face.
Shangguan Jun was also hit, he felt that he was about to suffocate, opened the door and went out.
Dong Yulin was standing outside, saw the door open and came out, and invited him to walk together......
In the evening, the cold wind was biting, and neither of them seemed to feel cold, because their hearts were already numb with pain, and they didn't know it after walking a long way......
When Dong Xiao came out to look for someone, he didn't find it, so he could only walk farther, through the bushes, and under a dead tree, Dong Yulin knelt in front of Shangguan Jun......
He didn't know what they were talking about, and he couldn't guess why his father knelt down to him.
He's been locked up for almost twenty years, so why humiliate him now. suppressed anger in his heart, but he couldn't question him face to face, so he could only silently take off this heart-wrenching scene......
Bi'er has been doing her duty in front of the window, and Shangguan Ying also introduced Bi'er to Jingchen.
Jing Chen also knew that she was the person Chu Yunxi chose for Dong Xiao, she was indeed a good person, when she knew the relationship between Dong Xiao and Yi'er, she couldn't let go, and now they broke them up, he married, she will marry, two people who seem to have no intersection, but they are invisibly connected again......
Shangguan Yi'er insisted on recruiting relatives through martial arts, and she could guess a thing or two about her mind in such a big way...... Is it a final compromise, or is it to wait for him to appear?
After Shangguan Jun and Yin Jingchen left, Shangguan Ying was fine, but in the second half of the night, she couldn't stay up, and finally went in Dong Yulin's arms......
At that moment, Dong Yulin was like a wooden man, at the mercy of others, there was no light in his eyes, as if he had also left with Shangguan Ying.
Dong Xiao endured the pain and dealt with Shangguan Ying's descendants, and the palace got the news, Yin Jingchen took Yi'er Yuxian to Siguo Pavilion to see him off......
