Outside the gate of the Marquis of Qichun's mansion, there are many carriages parked, and everyone knows that today is the day when the Marquis of Qichun went to court, and they can more or less bring back some information about the Daye envoys in the Tang Empire at this time.

So at this time, outside the gate of the house, there are a lot of people around, there are simplely dressed neighbors, among them there is an old mother, who has sold tofu in the west of the city for decades, said that when she was young, the third son loved to eat flower tofu at her tofu stall, although she always patted her ass after eating, but every month the Hou Mansion will give her money on time. The third son grew up eating her tofu, and now he naturally wants to know his situation in the Tang Dynasty, so as to explain to some neighbors who are waiting for her to bring back news.

In addition to these people who wanted to know some news from the Hou Mansion, there were also officials in crane robes, who were maintaining order in the middle of the road, making way for passing traffic. There are also some people who are dressed in big hats and mixed people, all of which are because they are not well-informed, so they hope to get some accurate information here in the Hou Mansion.

Among the carriages parked outside the Hou Mansion, there was only one, but it was more and more conspicuous. The carriage had tassels of gold ornaments, decorated with red embroidery, and the veins were simple and beautiful. The dark curtain is tightly closed, so that people can't see the owner inside. But anyone with a little vision can see that this is a car from the big Sima Dong's family. And it's not an ordinary car, it's the car of Miss Sima's daughter.

Looking at this car, for a while, many people couldn't help but be involved in the little things in Shanglin City that year. That year, Miss Dong was a celebrity chased by countless princes and princes in Shanglin City, and the third son of Qi Chun that year still only knew how to look at her in the dark. There were many things in those years, too. It's worth talking about and telling. Today, all of this is like white flowers all over the upper forest, and it has become a lot of good memories in this royal city.

But there are also occasional rumors that flow into the carriage.

"The driver of the Great Sima Mansion, what are you doing here?"

"Shh

"Miss Dong Er definitely didn't come here to want to know about the situation of the envoys. Her big Sima Dong's military department has developed intelligence, and the official documents of the envoy group in the Tang Dynasty can be seen. So she's just afraid that she's just coming to make one of the courtiers come."

"The Dong family and the Yang family already have a grudge, and they originally thought that marrying could make the two families throw away those feuds. But Yang Yun from the Qichunhou Mansion entered the Dong family before, and was squeezed out by the Dong family everywhere, which shows that the Dong family does not want to see the Qichunhou Mansion at all. It's a pity I originally thought. Miss Dong Er will also marry into the Qichun Marquis Mansion like her sister"

"Don't be kidding, you were so sure at that time? Dong Xuan at that time, but a famous celebrity in Shanglin City, in terms of cultivation and talent, none of us looked up to and admired. What kind of virtue did the third son have back then, the Dong family was powerful, and at that time, it was only the intention of King Xiang, and the goddess had no intention. Who knew that things were wrong and changed so quickly over the years!"

Someone sighed and glanced at the driver, "So now." Is it King Xiang's intention, or is the goddess intentional?"

Dong Xuan grabbed Zhang Cha'er, who wanted to lift the curtain and rush out to reason with people.

"It's too unusual!" Zhang Cha'er's face turned extremely red, and she looked at the crowd of people pointing through the black veil of the curtain.

"Our car is here, and the people are here, can't we let others say it?" Dong Xuan's face was calm. It's just that on his cheeks, a bitter gloom flashed.

"But what are they talking about!"

"Isn't it" Dong Xuan looked straight ahead, her starry eyes were unfocused, and the corners of her mouth pulled up a slightly unnatural smile, "In the eyes of others, what am I, Dong Xuan? Now I came to the door, I always saw Yang Ze running with us when I was young, with a red face, don't I know his thoughts, but I not only know, but also proud of it. Because it seemed to me at that time that he would always follow me like this."

...,

She looked at Zhang Cha'er and smiled a little indifferently, "Sometimes, we always don't care about what we have. ”

Zhang Cha'er sat back in her seat, in Dong Xuan's words, she suddenly seemed very silent, and after a while, she said softly, "But isn't that the case? My mother said that girls of the same age are always more mature than boys, and that in this world where power is honored, everyone wants to have a greater sense of security, is that right?"

"We used to admire Xituo Yuwen, the holy envoy of Kamu, and also imagined being loved by the world-famous Du Sheng Caotang Du Zhiwei, and grinding ink for him with red Luo Mao, that is the dream in every girl's heart, but it is just a dream, what's wrong. We all know that it will not become a reality, the reality is that Du Shengcaotang Du Zhiwei only fought with the eldest prince of the Song Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty last year, so he made a promise that if he is not better than Song Hui in this life, he swears to ignore the mundane things in the world, so there will be no strange woman to add fragrance to his red sleeves, this is the reality that is as cold as a stone! Who doesn't look at the good side, will he care about a stubborn son of the world who does not do his job all day long? Do you want to make your marriage contract a joke for all the people of the king in the future? When it comes to women's husbands, everyone wants to find a good support, so you were not wrong at the beginning!"

Dong Xuan straightened the cloudy hair on her sideburns and said with a smile, "Yes, you are right, we are not so strong at all, especially in this world where men are fighting for fame and fortune, how can a mere woman easily say that she wants to be self-reliant and self-reliant? No matter how hard she is strong, she will always think about one day to rely on herself." I used to hope that he would grow up to be the way I wanted him to be. However, when he gradually changed to a height that I couldn't imagine, I suddenly realized that it was not what I wanted. ”

"I began to look up to him, and began to worry about his misfortune as everyone else, and to rejoice in his every success. Only among those who celebrate with him. But there is no me. Dong Xuan smiled slightly wryly, "Isn't it a bit ironic that I didn't experience the sloppy wind and snow with him, how can I be qualified to enter the prosperous era with him?"

"And he gradually changed, and seemed to be the kind of person I had originally envisioned. But at this time, when I saw others looking up to him, I began to be scared and began to be uncertain. Because I knew I was moving away from him. And one day, will be far away from his life. At this time, I realized that I had been pursuing. It's just a delusion of immaturity at the beginning. What I like to see is actually the boy back then. The boy who always disguises himself, eats and drinks for nothing on West Street and is criticized by others, and actually secretly instructs the people in the house to advance money every month. The one who sees a girl will look like he is fascinated. But in the end, it will be expected that the other party will leave the teenager with a smile in his eyes. It was the boy who laughed at him in Quanshang Lin Cheng, and he also turned a blind eye to the thick-skinned boy who was over the corner of the city wall. ”

"I just like the boy who could climb a ten-meter-high tree to pick fruit for me even if he fell five or six times on the way."

"I just love the boy who when I lose my temper because I've waited too long and throw away the wild fruit he picks, and he'll pick it up and wipe it off with his sleeve and put it next to me, saying I'm in a good mood and eating it again. Dong Xuan suddenly covered the wetness of her face with her hand, "I just hope that when I occasionally lose my temper and occasionally get lost, I will tolerate the boy who took my hand and walked back to the original point."

"But now, it's gone!

...,

Dong Xuan raised her head, her eyes flushed. "He's become someone else. Someone I don't know at all. ”

"Do you know, Zhang Cha'er, I'm not afraid that you will look down on me and tell myself more than once that the girl of the Da Sima family should be reserved, since everything is over. Then let it all pass. But I always think of everything before, am I cheap!"

Zhang Cha'er choked, "I didn't look down on you",

"So no matter where I'm now, whether I'm being talked about by people outside, sarcasm or ridicule, I can't help but come over. Even if it was enough to know that he was still safe and happy. ”

At this time, in the mansion of the Marquis of Qichun, many clansmen are also worried, today is the day to obtain the third son of the Tang Dynasty half a month ago, the day of the situation of the Daye envoys. So everyone is waiting for the latest news that Qi Chunhou, who is in the same agreement with the Emperor of Dezhao, will bring back to the house.

The porter's sudden report stirred up the extremely suppressed silence in the hall of the Hou Mansion.

The sound of the dripping tide came from the street outside the mansion gate, and the sound of Daye's officials maintaining the order of the crowd and letting the Hou Mansion convoy pass.

However, after a while, Yang Ye, the marquis of Qichun, who was dressed in court clothes and had white hair but was slightly haggard, accompanied by several family generals, stepped in from the already opened door of the mansion, and the solemn face immediately made all the people waiting for a sigh in their hearts!

In the hall of the Hou Mansion, Yang Ye sat on the chair, looking at the clansmen below, there were Yang Ze's father Yang Hongyuan and Yang's mother Cheng Ying. There are Yang Yuanzheng, Yang Weiming, and his big house Wang Nan. Many elders. Standing in the outer circle of the hall are those who are younger, including Xue Ran, Liu Qian, and the descendants of many families who take Yang Ze as an example.

What is present now is not the people who regard Yang Ze as a hero of Shanglin City, but only his parents, his uncles, aunts, cousins, and his brothers and sisters who are concerned about his safety. He suddenly didn't know how to speak as a parent.

"At present, the situation in the Tang Dynasty is dark and uncertain. The battle between the two princesses and the Lord of Xiangguo has gradually become fierce because of the arrival of Queen Qingping. According to the news I have gotten, it is really not optimistic, Yang Ze has offended the imperial Song lords, and there is also the lord of Zhiying. The forces of these two sides all wanted to kill him! Your Majesty's intention is to let Yang Ze and his party return to Daye ahead of schedule. to avoid falling victim in the cracks!"

Yang Ye's solemn and calm words immediately set off an uproar in the hall.

Yes, the Tang Empire is not as calm as the sea on the surface, and its interior is also turbulent. Just look at the signals that come back. Everyone understood that the arrival of Queen Qingping must have been involved in the fierce conflict at the top of the Tang Empire, and Yang Ze was actually targeted by two forces, so it is conceivable that the situation in the empire was broken, because the arrival of Queen Qingping broke the balance and set off a great turmoil! If they continued, it is very likely that they would suffer even more serious losses before they achieved the purpose of the empire's intervention in the Orthodox Church. Most likely, it is to wait for the news of Yang Ze's death in the empire!

From this point of view, before things deteriorate, the withdrawal of the Daye envoy should be the best result, because this time the information was half a month ago, this time it came and went, and half a month has passed, but I don't know if it's still too late.

"Then what about my Yuan'er! He is still under house arrest in the Tang Dynasty at the moment!" Yang Yuanzheng couldn't sit still anymore, and his face changed.

"I'm also among them!" Yang Weiming also looked moved! Wang Nan, who was next to him, held her husband's sleeve with her hand and clutched his sleeve tightly.

Qi Chunhou Yang Ye glanced at the two of them, and snorted coldly, "Look at the two of you like this! You are in the whirlpool quagmire, but you are the children of your third brother!"

The two immediately looked at Yang Hongyuan next to them with some embarrassment. Yang Hongyuan seemed to be haggard for a few years, and Cheng Ying, the mother of Yang beside him, was used to being a little woman, and at this time, only her eyes were red and she fell into a daze.

...,

Yang Yuanzheng gritted his teeth fiercely, "What my father taught me is that Yang Ze of the Hou Mansion has grown up so that he doesn't need our elders to protect him, but his current age is not as old as Yuan'er! At such a young age, he has to resist the heavy responsibility of the Great Ye Kingdom, the trust of all parties, and wander between those fierce and sinister deceits! How can we ask too much of him! How can I, as a second uncle, be so selfish!"

The anger of his soldiers also appeared on the surface, "If the Tang Dynasty is a quagmire, Yang Ze must not fall deeper and deeper! Protecting himself is the most important thing! As for Yuan'er, if there are three long and two short, I, Yang Yuan, will avenge this blood revenge for him one day!"

"Although I, Yang Weiming, am just a literati, I was also born in the Yang Mansion. is also from the Yang family. Que Er, you should also have this awareness!" He squeezed his wife's hand tightly, and the two seemed to have made a final decision, "If Que Er also has an accident, then my Qichun Hou Mansion, at least there must be a more amazing bloodline to pass it on!" Yang Ze is already a monument in the hearts of the people of Shanglin City, and there can be no problem!"

Qi Chunhou looked at his two sons, his eyes were red, and he nodded after a while, "Okay, good! My Yang Mansion is a civil and military husband, and I also have the strong spirit of the Yang family! Lao Huai was very relieved, but His Majesty's intentions were rejected by me!"

"What!" The audience was full of people in the Hou Mansion, looking at the Hou Ye of Qi Chun.

"At this time when the country is dying, how can we retreat because we are in a desperate situation! Without the intervention of the Tang Dynasty, my Da Ye will definitely not be able to compete with the Orthodox Church on the mainland, which has thousands of believers and hundreds of countries are subjugated! This is not because my Da Ye is weak, I believe that Da Ye from top to bottom, civil officials and warriors, all have the determination to fight for the invasion to the last soldier! However, after I die, how will the tens of millions of people behind me be dealt with! How can those innocent people survive in the midst of the misery! Therefore, for the sake of his family and country, even if he is in a desperate situation, Yang Ze must not retreat! There is already a cliff behind him, and there is no place to retreat! Yang Ze must survive until he completes his mission! This is also what a man from the Qichun Marquis Mansion should do!"

Yang Ye stared at the sky in the extreme distance outside the wooden window, "I believe he can do it, because he is a member of our Yang family!"
