"I didn't hide your matter from the regent, but he has not been instructed to take the next step, and if he doesn't say anything, I will take his acquiescence." Fu Mingzheng made a decision for Fu Mingzhao: "Where are your things?" I'll clean it up for you. ”

Fu Mingzhao looked at him with resolute eyes, and said calmly: "No need, I won't go." The **** of the broken city is not dead, it doesn't mean that I want to live. ”

"So what are you going to do? Go back to Beijing and wait for death? Let the regent order to tie you to the entrance of the vegetable market and behead you with a knife, and let Wenwen's sisters and brothers kneel on the street and wait to collect your corpse? Let Mingzhu think of you and hate the regent for being ruthless? Let my father and mother die of pain? Fu Mingzheng was a little angry, he knew the stubbornness of the Fu family, and he didn't want Fu Mingzhao to go to death with his eyes open.

Fu Mingzhao said: "Of course not, I won't be afraid of death, but I don't want to die, I'm waiting for someone, waiting for an opportunity." ”

Fu Mingzheng was so anxious that he couldn't beat him twice: "When is it, you are still fighting with me?" Can you explain the words? ”

Fu Mingzhao said calmly: "My surname is Fu, I have a good father who is infamous but still works hard for the people and the country, a good mother who is loving and kind, the eldest brother and younger brother have a bright future, the younger sister is blessed with profound and noble status, and I have a loyal and virtuous wife, and a good son and daughter who is filial and intelligent." How could I die in a nest at the entrance of the vegetable market, and I was covered in rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs? The eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Qi Palace, how could she have such a father? I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of dishonoring my parents, relatives, and children, so I will not go back, I will die here, on the battlefield. Go back, and tell them that you have never seen me. ”

Fu Mingzheng's heart was violently slammed, his eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't cry because he knew that it was impossible for him to make Fu Mingzhao change his mind. He is also surnamed Fu, and the family has an innate sense of honor, and protecting the family and protecting his relatives from shame is the first thing he learned from Fu Cong. Fu Mingzhao is the same, for so many years, this belief has been deeply rooted in their blood and bones, and it can no longer be changed.

Fu Mingzhao gently patted him on the shoulder: "I handed over Wenwen and them to you, if the boys and girls are disobedient, you will beat them up for me." ”

Shen Ruilin came in with a food box in one hand and a wine jar in the other, and didn't ask anything else, he sat on the spot, set up the wine and food cups and plates, and patted the mud: "It's rare to get together, you won't get drunk tonight." ”

This is probably the last dinner, and the three of them all know it, Fu Mingzheng has a black face all the time, Shen Ruilin has a sad face, and Fu Mingzhao is smiling and smiling, but the two people don't cooperate, so they finally drink stuffy.

When the jar of wine bottomed out, Shen Ruilin wanted to let the soldiers bring the wine again, Fu Mingzhao held his hand: "Xiao Shen, you are the one who leads the troops, you shouldn't drink too much." ”

This is a lesson in blood, Shen Ruilin didn't dare not listen, so he had to ask the imminent question: "What are you going to do?" ”

Fu Mingzhao said: "If I leave with the fourth child, you will treat me as if you have never seen me." "This should also be Mingzhu's meaning, Xiao Shen is such a good person, he shouldn't be involved in this kind of thing.

Fu Mingzheng nodded: "We'll leave early tomorrow morning." "Anyway, the second brother follows him wherever he goes, even if he wants to wash away the shame with blood, he should have a share.

Shen Ruilin was speechless for a while, and sat with them for half a night. They turned over the things they had done when they were children and said them again and again, slapped the table when they were happy, and scolded their mothers loudly when they were angry.

The drum sounded for the third watch, Fu Mingzhao glanced at the silver-white moonlight outside the window, and yawned: "It's too late, I have to hurry tomorrow morning, let's rest." ”

Shen Ruilin took his leave: "I'll send you out of the city tomorrow morning." ”

Fu Ming said solemnly: "I'll sleep with my second brother tonight." ”

Fu Mingzhao smiled: "As long as you don't think the bed is too narrow and not afraid of the heat, I have no opinion." Then he summoned a dumb servant to serve them, and the two brothers fell asleep.

"Second brother." Fu Mingzheng felt upset and couldn't sleep, so he couldn't help but shout Fu Mingzhao a few times, but Fu Mingzhao didn't answer him, and snored softly.

Fu Mingzheng tossed for a while, and fell asleep in a daze, this sleep was very heavy, even when the dumb servant opened the door, he didn't hear any movement. Fu Mingzhao was dressed neatly, took one last look at him, motioned for the dumb servant to put himself on his back, and walked out without looking back.

A tall man stood under the tree, the thin mottled moon shadow fell on him, making his face blurred, and he nodded at Fu Mingzhao: "It's here." ”

Fu Mingzhao said: "Here, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to pick me up." ”

The man smiled: "General Fu is righteous, and Du has to go this way no matter how busy he is." He thought of the dazzling and strong-willed woman, and couldn't help but ask Fu Mingzhao again: "Has the general thought about it?" If you regret it, you can go back. Although Jiguo is far away, Du can also help him. Princess Changhua is kind-hearted and has a good relationship with the princess regent, as long as she is in one day, she can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, and live in peace. ”

Fu Mingzhao smiled: "There are no people in the Fu clan who are greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

The man showed some admiration and said, "In that case, let's go." ”

A few people who were hiding in the shadows came out, surrounded him, Fu Mingzhao, and the dumb servants, skillfully avoided the soldiers who were patrolling the night, and then went to the city gate, showing their waist cards to the defenders: "The Regent's secret envoy." ”

The defenders immediately opened the door and let them go.

Fu Mingzhao turned his head, took one last look at the sleeping Ganzhou, and then silently rode on the horse prepared for him by the other party, the saddle stirrup was specially designed, very suitable for him, for a moment, he almost thought that he was back to the past, charging and killing the enemy omnipotently. But he knew that this was only an illusion, that he had become a wreck and a sinner, but the glory of the family and the responsibility of being a son, a father, and a brother were still on his shoulders, and he had to wash away this shame with his own blood.

The general should have died on the battlefield, not under the intrigues of the court.

He asked the man in front of him who was walking on the night dew, "Sir, does you have the latest movement of the Zhongshan rebels?" ”

The man smiled: "Du Yu, my name is Du Yu, and the general can call me Xiao Du." ”

Fu Mingzhao originally wanted to ask Du Yu what Yu Wenchu thought about this matter, but thinking that since the other party had already found him and took him away, it was enough to show Yu Wenchu's attitude, so why bother asking?

The sun shone on Fu Mingzheng's face, and he turned over and sat up: "Second brother......"

People go to empty houses.

Shen Ruilin walked in and said with a complicated mood: "The second brother has already left." Go back to the capital. He received news in the middle of the night that the regent's secret envoy had taken people away under his nose, and before that, he had always thought that Yu Wenchu did not know, but now it seems that he can't hide it. It could have been done quietly, but if you want to show your waist card, there is only one explanation - warning.
