Chapter 496 In a dream

Extra:

Cheng Ruoke and Zhan Leyan spent a period of time mixing oil in honey, and one day she fell asleep at night and suddenly had a dream.

……

In this land of Youzhou, there are dozens of dynasties, large and small, among which the most powerful dynasty is the Moonlight Dynasty in the East. The Moonlit Dynasty has been through ups and downs for decades, and it is still standing, and it has become more and more prosperous under the rule of the current emperor Situ Heng, presenting a scene of prosperity and peace, and the small countries in the east have been able to live safely under the protection of the Moonlight Dynasty.

At the same time, other small countries in the Northwest and South have not been so lucky.

Although these small countries are far from being comparable to the eastern giant of the moonlit night, they are less than the above, more than the bottom, and there are indispensable wars and disputes between small countries with similar strength, and they are driven by interests and ambitions to annex each other or countries weaker than themselves, so as to enhance their own strength and status. In the quiet and peaceful wind and sun in the east, there are waves underneath.

One day, a fast horse was heading out of the city on a moonlit night, and the dust was flying where the horse passed, and the man on the horse was dressed in white. In a moment of relaxation, only a ray of afterimage could be seen outside the city gate. About an hour later, the man stopped in front of an inn on the road and dismounted.

"Guest, please." The shopkeeper greeted the man in front of him respectfully.

"Little Er, tie my horse up, give it some water to drink, and feed it some horse feed." The man instructed Xiao Er and walked into the inn.

"Good Rat, guest officer, you are seated. Drink some water first and see what you need. Xiao Er hurriedly wiped the stool and table with a rag.

"Just bring me a pot of wine and a few plates of side dishes."

"Okay, then I'll bring you a plate of peanuts, a plate of shallots mixed with tofu and a plate of small greens, please wait a while."

"Alright, there you go." The man picked up the teapot on the table and just wanted to pour a glass of water to drink, when he heard a whisper on the table next to him, looking like a person in the rivers and lakes.

"Hey, have you heard, there was a big incident in the court recently." A man who looked like a scholar said to another man who was five big and three thick.

"What's the matter, so much movement?"

"Don't you know? I think the news has not yet spread in the rivers and lakes. ”

"You should say it quickly, but I'm in a hurry, just my temper." The man was so anxious that his face was red.

"It was this morning in the court that Xia Qinghuai, the leader of the shadows, dismissed the emperor."

"Ah, this is really a big deal, you must know that the shadow was set up by Situ Ye at the beginning, and now the Emperor Taishang. Although the Emperor Taishang is no longer alive, isn't the emperor afraid of the cold heart of the Emperor under Jiuquan when he does this? ”

"Guest officer, your dish is here, please use it slowly." The shopkeeper put the dishes on the table in front of the man in white just now.

"Well, let it go." The man picked up a full glass of wine and drank it slowly, only to hear the man in his ear still whispering.

"What do you know, the current emperor will take care of the emperor, not to mention that the emperor is no longer there, even if he can live until now, what can he do? It's not up to the emperor to see what he means, and when the emperor is still a prince, he is not favored by his old son. The mother has no power or power, just a small official girl, and she is not very favored by the emperor, in the harem, where people eat people and do not spit out bones, the situation of their mother and son can be imagined. Emperor Suo Xing has not many heirs, only three princes, and the current emperor has a strategy to sit in today's position. ”

"And what does this have to do with shadows?"

"This has to start from the beginning of Situ Ye's establishment of Shadow, which is a supervisory agency and is directly responsible to the emperor. The original intention of Situ Ye's establishment was to be able to keep abreast of the officials and ministers in the court and the dynamics in the rivers and lakes, and get first-hand information in case they had bad intentions.

And the leader of the shadow is Situ Ye's son-in-law Xia Qinghuai, speaking of which Xia Qinghuai is also a person of insight. ”

"Xia Qinghuai, I don't need to say that you should know."

"Hehe, I know this, to say that Xia Qinghuai is still one of the people I admire the most. Xia Qinghuai Jianghu is known as the light rain layman, this person is strong in martial arts, chivalrous and courageous, in the early years has been robbing the rich and helping the poor, many people have received his favor. I, Ryusan, will also become a hero like him in the future, hahaha. ”

"Okay, this is not over, you must know that this Xia Qinghuai is more than ten years younger than Situ Ye, and one of the reasons why he can become Situ Ye's son-in-law is that he once saved Situ Ye's life. At that time, Xia Qinghuai had just become famous, and one day on the way through Tushan, he rescued Situ Ye, who was attacked and ambushed. Situ Ye is a private visit to Weifu, but he encountered the enemy's plot on the way, but fortunately Situ Ye rescued him. Xia Qinghuai didn't know that the person he inadvertently saved was actually the emperor of the current dynasty, so he left without leaving a word. And Situ Ye just wanted to reward the life-saving benefactor, but when he turned around, he disappeared. However, everything seems to have its own fixed number, and what Situ Ye owes is repaid by his daughter. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Situ Ye had a very beloved daughter at that time, named Situ Luowu. As her name suggests, this princess was born gentle and demure, with the silence of the falling leaves of the sycamore, quietly immersed in a person's heart. As for how Xia Qinghuai and this princess knew each other and fell in love, there is no way to know. Who hasn't had a youthful and frivolous time? Soon after the little princess became an adult, she also learned his father's trick, and quietly slipped out of the palace with a few guards and palace maids. Actually, how could the Emperor not know, but just because she was such a daughter, it was up to her. I had to send some secret guards to protect her secretly. It was during the time of playing in the palace that the princess met Xia Qinghuai. You and I both know Xia Qinghuai's personality, coupled with his handsome appearance, it is not surprising that the princess is attracted to him. Besides, although this little princess has a demure appearance, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she is still young, and the posture of a little daughter is particularly cute. After the two fell in love, the princess told Xia Qinghuai her identity, in fact, Xia Qinghuai had already guessed that Situ Luowu's birth was extraordinary, and it might be the daughter of a prince and minister, but she never expected it to be a princess. However, the people of the rivers and lakes had nothing to fear for their beloved, so they followed the princess back to the palace. ”

"What happened then?"

Later, Situ Ye actually knew that his daughter was in love with a man in the rivers and lakes, but he knew that his daughter's temperament was weak on the outside and strong on the inside, so he couldn't force them to break up, so he could only wait and see what happened. After meeting Xia Qinghuai, he found out that he was his former life-saving benefactor, and his dissatisfaction had disappeared. After observing his words and deeds, he was relieved to hand over his daughter to him. This is the later shadow leader Xia Qinghuai.

"Well, that's kind of interesting." A smile appeared on the corner of the white-clothed man's mouth just now, it turned out that this person was none other than Xia Qinghuai, who was talking about by the two people on the side.

"Little Er, check out, how much is it in total?" The man in white said to the shopkeeper.

"Guest officer, the wine and food plus horse food are a total of fifty wen."

"Here you go, don't look for it, go and help me bring the horse over." Xia Qinghuai took out a tael of silver from his arms and threw it to the shopkeeper.

One man and one horse galloped quickly in the direction of the bamboo forest, and the sheep intestine path was sprinkled with the afterglow of the setting sun. Eventually, Xia Qinghuai stopped in front of the small bamboo house in the bamboo forest today.

"Lady, I'm back." Xia Qinghuai shouted towards the house.

"I'm back, I've worked hard, come inside and rest." With the woman's gentle and concerned voice, the door opened from the inside.

"It's okay, I don't have to be so busy in the future, I can accompany my wife and our daughter all day long. By the way, what about Little Nan? ”

"Shhh The woman whispered.

"Let's go see our baby girl." Xia Qinghuai gently came to the bedside, looking at the little group with a sweet smile in her sleep, and the softest piece of her heart was carefully touched.

The sun is in the sky, and the breeze is a little. In the depths of the dense forest, the sound of cicadas is more and more quiet, and the sound of searching through this bamboo forest only sees a small bamboo house standing quietly at the end of the bamboo forest, and there is no dispute with the world.

Suddenly, a small sound broke the silence of the forest. As far as the eye could see, I saw a woman walking out with the creaking sound of the door opening, with a demure face and a gentle temperament, although she was only wearing coarse cloth clothes, it was difficult to hide her temperament. If you look closely, this woman is still holding a pink and carved child in her arms, and her clear and bright eyes are like two transparent grapes firmly embedded in her face, which is lovely at first glance.

"Daddy, you'd better be faster." As soon as the woman's words fell, she saw a majestic man walk out of the bamboo hut behind her. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, full of energy. However, the daughter red and the hoe he held in his hand somewhat ruined his temperament, and the sword should be worthy of the hero.

"Alright, alright, isn't this coming? Anything can be put aside, but only our little Nan's affairs can't be delayed, isn't it, Little Nan. The man gently laughed at the child in the woman's arms, and the picture was quiet and beautiful.

"Let's go, little girl, let's go." A husband, a woman, and a child walked towards the bamboo forest, their steps light and cheerful, and slowly, they stopped in front of a blue bamboo towering into the sky. The man bent down and dug a deep pit the size of a wine body with a hoe, carefully put his daughter Hong with him into the pit, and then buried it slowly, this handful of soil mixed with bamboo incense gave the couple good wishes for their daughter's future life.

"Don't worry, in the future, our little grandmother will definitely find a husband who is good to her and loves her, just like me."

"It's shameless, what's so good about being like you, like you? Alcoholics, our daughter's future husband should not be like you. The woman said coquettishly.
