Where is the king of the northwest? This is the question that many people who are eager to serve the new lord want to know most.

Where has the prince gone? This is a question that the top brass of the Northwest Army is also eager to know.

Xiao Yu didn't go anywhere, he just went back to Xiao's house, dug up the altar of champion red that his mother had buried back then, and then got drunk alone at the plum viewing platform.

Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk.

The Fang family's ancestral home is Jiangnan, and they have a tradition of burying a jar of flower carving wine after the birth of a baby. If it is a girl, it is called daughter red, and it is used as a welcome on the day of her marriage when she grows up. If it is a boy, it is called the champion red, but there are thousands of men, how many champions are there? Therefore, this champion red is actually used for wedding banquets.

Xiao Yu didn't have a chance to win the champion and the first place that year, and he didn't marry a wife when he left the grassland, so the beautiful champion red of this altar has been shelved.

The morning light is faint, and the sunlight penetrates obliquely into the plum viewing platform through the gaps in the leaves, falling on Xiao Yu's body and face, printing patches of mottled light and shadow.

Xiao Yu sat on the edge of the plum viewing platform, his legs sticked out, he held the wine jar in his arms, and muttered to himself: "Heh, what is the champion, just a six-grade Xiaohan Lin'er! How many champions are there in ancient times, how many people can compare to me? Mother, your son is out of breath, and his life is big." ”

Xiao Yu's drunken eyes were hazy, and his voice was vague, "Your son and I, now I am taller than my grandfather, taller than my father, as tall as the emperor, and as tall as the sky." ”

Xiao Yu lay backwards, just lying on the cold ground, and the wine jar in his arms rolled aside.

He closed his eyes and said softly: "Mother, if you are buried in Meishan, I will make the entire Meishan your mausoleum." ”

"Dad, I didn't embarrass him, after all, he is still father and son, admit his mistake, and it will be over. ”

"Your daughter-in-law is coming over, and the precious grandson you've been talking about is also coming over. ”

"I will also arrange the matter of letting you re-enter the Xiao family tree......"

The more Xiao Yu spoke, the quieter his voice became, and finally it was inaudible.

After separating the victory and defeat with Xiao Lie, he was already mentally tired to the extreme, and fell into a deep sleep.

The sun slowly shifted, rising from the east to the center, and from the center to the west.

By the time Xiao Yu woke up again, it was already sunset, and large and large fire clouds were stacked on top of each other, dazzling.

The jar that had fallen to the ground had been straightened and stood aside.

There was a figure sitting with his back to Xiao Yu, and the setting sun gilded a layer of golden-red edges on her silhouette.

When she heard the noise, she turned her head and smiled, "You're awake." ”

Xiao Yu subconsciously squinted his eyes and asked softly, "How did you find here?" ”

The woman stood up and patted the dust on her body, "According to you, this is the place where I saw you for the first time, and I wanted to come up and see it when I came up, but I didn't expect to see you sleeping here alone." ”

After Xiao Yu got up, he picked up the wine jar, looked at the woman who had traveled thousands of miles to Meishan, and said softly: "Let's go, go see our mother." ”

The woman was Lin Yinping, she glanced at the wine jar in Xiao Yu's hand, and asked, "You just went over like this?"

Xiao Yu was stunned.

Lin Yinping glanced at him, and then clapped his hands gently.

Qu Cang, who had been guarding outside the plum viewing platform, walked in, holding a brand-new white coat in his left hand and a mahogany food box in his right hand.

Xiao Yu stroked his forehead and said with a smile: "It's still Lord Taizuo who is thoughtful." ”

Lin Yinping first took the white clothes and helped Xiao Yu change out of the tattered white linen filial piety clothes, and then personally lifted the food box and said softly: "Let's go." ”

Qu Cang retreated early with a very eye-catching look.

Xiao Yu held her hand, a little cool, it was a familiar feeling, and it was also a subtle touch in the plainness after a long time as a couple.

"Where's Xuan'er?"

In the Taoist temple, his aunt looked at him. ”

"Nothing happened along the way, right?"

"Have a safe journey, how are you doing here?"

"In a nutshell, it's four words, there is no danger. ”

The husband and wife came to the green landscape halfway up the mountainside between words, Yuchen walked out of the view with Xiao Xuan in his arms, and said softly: "Back then, Senior Brother Wuchen lived in seclusion here, so the peak master stayed here for a long time, it seems that he has hooked his heart, after all, things are people. ”

Xiao Yu silently took the food box in Lin Yinping's hand, and Lin Yinping took Xiao Xuan from Yuchen's hand.

Yuchen bowed slightly to the husband and wife, turned to leave.

The family of three walked through the green landscape and came to Fang Xuan's grave.

Xiao Yu leaned down and arranged the offerings in the food box one by one, and when he straightened up again, his eyes were slightly red.

Lin Yinping sighed softly, handed Xiao Xuan to Xiao Yu, and then Ying Ying bowed, knelt on her knees in front of the grave, and kowtowed three times.

Xiao Yu was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Mother, when I left, I said that I would bring your daughter-in-law back to see you, and today, I did it." ”

Saying that, he raised Xiao Xuan in his arms and said softly: "This is your grandson, called Xiao Xuan." ”

After the memorial service, Xiao Yu stood in front of the grave and said softly: "Yinping, I'll stay for a while." ”

Lin Yinping said softly: "Lingbao and I will go back first, and you will accompany your mother-in-law more." ”

Xiao Yu snorted.

Lin Yinping left here with Xiao Xuan in his arms, walking on the mountain road down the mountain, it seemed that there were only two mothers and sons, but in fact, there were countless secret whistles along the way, not to mention the carefully selected guards in the secret guards, who were masters of the realm of heaven and man, and there were also two. Lin Yinping thinks that he has risen with Xiao Yu over the years, and his head is still quite expensive, plus Xiao Yu's only son, Xiao Xuan, is already worth taking risks for many desperate people, and he has to guard against it.

She walked to the foot of the mountain, where the 32-carrying sedan chair was stopped, and after she got on the sedan chair, she ordered: "Evil tiger, when the prince comes down the mountain, tell him that the prince and I will go to Wanshouyuan first." ”

The evil tiger outside the sedan chair bowed slightly, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "No." ”

Wanshou Garden was built by the proprietor, located in the north of the eastern capital, from Anding Gate out of the city, along the official road on horseback for about an hour, is Wanshou Garden. After the repair of the emperors of the Great Zheng Dynasty, today's Wanshou Garden has covered an area of about 1,500 acres, there are the front lake, the back lake, the Ruhai Hall, the Qingya Pavilion, the sound of the water, the flower pavilion and other imitation Jiangnan landscape buildings, known as the first garden in the eastern capital. The periphery of the garden was originally guarded by the Son of Heaven's own army, but after Xiao Lie took power, it was changed to the Ten Regiment Battalion to be responsible. It's just that after the Northwest Army approached the Eastern Capital, the garrison here had fled, and the Tiger Battalion occupied this place effortlessly, and then Qu Cang tentatively designated it as the temporary palace of Xiao Yu and his wife.

At this time, the blue jade army had already set up camp here, with Wanshouyuan as the center, and the defense could be called foolproof.

Lin Yinping's guard of honor slowly walked towards Wanshou Garden, and at this time, there were already chickens flying and dogs jumping in Wanshou Garden.

Zhang Baisui is Xiao Yu's personal entourage, in the absence of Moshu and other sisters, he seems to have become the chief steward here, although he is not very old, but with Xiao Jin, the little prince's Zhu Yu in front, everyone does not dare to underestimate him, a half-grown child, and as Xiao Yu's close attendant, he usually comes into contact with high-ranking officials with real power.

I saw Zhang Baisui walking in the Wanshou Garden with two small servants, commanding everyone loudly, and there were maids and servants shuttling back and forth around him, and even a few armor soldiers mixed in.

"Down, down, this vase is placed in the main room. ”

"Hey, you don't need to move this bell, you guys go over there. ”

"yes, wipe this table so that it can show a human figure, it's like that. ”

"Take off the picture of the lady for me, put it in the storeroom, and replace it with a landscape, the princess likes this. ”

"Carry this patriotic thing out for me, the prince is not used to this thing, hurry up!"

"Say you, why are you stunned, hurry up and spread the carpet of Baozhu Kingdom. ”

"How many times have I said that the princess is afraid of the cold and wants to warm the earth dragon in the house, are you deaf or what?"

"The princess and His Royal Highness the prince will be here soon, they are all quick with their hands and feet, who dares to delay the errand, be careful of your skin!"

"I said Miss Ai, don't make trouble here, you, go to the side hall next to you and rest, and I'll let someone make you a good pot of tea, don't you think it's okay?"

In the midst of this busy scene, Elena came to the Garden of Longevity.

In her travelogue, she wrote: "How far has it been to go from a shameful traitor to a great emperor? It only took me six months to find the answer in this Eastern Empire." ”

"In the first month, they said, the rebels from the northwest are going east and knocking at the gates. ”

"The next month, they say, the Northwest rebels are approaching the Northland front. ”

"In the third month, they said, Xiao Yu's army captured Qizhou. ”

In the fourth month, they said that the rebel army had recovered Yuzhou. ”

"In the fifth month, they said that His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest had come to Zhili. ”

"Now, they are all saying that His Majesty the future Emperor will enter the imperial capital in the near future. ”
