Chapter Forty-Eight: The Legend of Huai'an Mansion
Seventy years ago, at the beginning of the establishment of the Qi State, the country was still unstable, and when it was turbulent, the enemy country took the opportunity to attack, menacing, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and it was killed directly all the way to Yanqing Mansion.
As the second largest state capital of Qi State, Yanqing Mansion has a very special geographical location, it can almost be said that it is close to the capital, and it is an important defense line of the capital.
At that time, the Emperor of Qi, who was also the founding emperor of the Qi State, was furious and sent his right-hand man to lead 100,000 soldiers to defend Yanqing Mansion to repel foreign enemies.
The general did not live up to the attention of Emperor Qi, he was extremely brave, defeated the enemy army in one fell swoop, beat the enemy army to a pulp, and was defeated again and again, just when the Qi army was about to win, a bad news suddenly came!
The general's wife was captured by the enemy, and the enemy threatened the general to hurry out of the city and surrender, otherwise he would kill his wife.
It turned out that the general's wife's in-laws were in Yanqing Mansion, and before the enemy invaded Qi, bad news suddenly came from the in-laws, and her father was critically ill! At that time, the general had state affairs and could not leave the capital for the time being, so his wife took the lead in coming to Yanqing Mansion to take care of his old father until the enemy attacked Yanqing Mansion.
When the enemy in the city heard about it, he seized the opportunity to plunder the general's wife.
Hearing this news, the general was furious, he and his wife were childhood sweethearts, raising their eyebrows, and they were extremely affectionate, so it was naturally impossible to watch his dear wife die tragically in front of him.
Unexpectedly, his wife is also a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, she knows that her husband loves her deeply and can give up everything for herself, even if she is infamous for treason!
In order not to let her husband bear the infamy, in the confrontation between the two armies, the wife unexpectedly burst out with an unparalleled force, opened the enemy who had escaped from her, and rushed towards the sharp infantry guns.
The sharp infantry spear pierced her chest, and she mustered the last shred of strength, looked at her beloved husband for the last time, opened her mouth, and said silently: "...... Take, I'm not here anymore, you...... You, you have to take care. ”
Then, with reluctance to this world and reluctance to her husband, she left this world forever.
The general's eyes were split, his eyes were blank, as if he had lost everything, and he rushed forward with monstrous resentment, which made him fearless of life and death, and extremely brave, and resentment made him lose his mind, refused the surrender of the enemy, and mercilessly slashed at the enemy's skull.
I heard that on that day, none of the enemy troops who invaded Qi could escape from Yanqing Mansion, and I heard that the entire Yanqing Mansion was stained red with blood that day.
So far, the first war, the countries were shocked, since then, the prestige of the Qi country has been far and wide, no country dares to invade the Qi country again, the Qi country has been able to recuperate, and the people have lived a life of peace and contentment.
The war was won, but the general had no joy of victory at all, because his heart had already died at the moment his wife died, his wife was his everything, and without his wife, his world would lose color and vitality, what was the point?
Looking at the soldiers who were happy with the victory, the general suddenly raised the knife in his hand and wiped it at his neck.
There were exclamations and shouts from his own soldiers in his ears, but he didn't care at all, and he didn't feel a trace of pain, but smiled: "Huai'er, wait for me, I'm coming."
When the news of the victory in Yanqing Mansion reached Emperor Qi's ears, he was not happy at all, because he was the most powerful and the youngest general was lost in this war......
In order to commemorate the general and remember his merits, Emperor Qi issued a decree to officially change the name of Yanqing Mansion to Huai'an Mansion, Huai is the name of the general's wife, and An is the name of the general, which is the origin of Huai'an Mansion.
Later, in order to thank the general for saving them from danger, the people of Huai'an Mansion set this day as a special festival in Huai'an Mansion: Huai'an Festival, praising the general's achievements in defending Huai'an Mansion and the sincere love between the general and his wife.
After talking for so long at one time, his mouth and throat were dry, so Li Anyi took the warm tea and drank it all, and he was suddenly much more comfortable.
There is such a festival called Huai'an Festival in Huai'an Mansion, although Lin Xueer has never had it, but she has also heard of it, but she doesn't know that there is such a tragic and desolate story in it, her big eyes can't help but be a little red, and she looks at her brother An Yi stupidly.
If you encounter something similar in the future, do you want to do the same thing as the general's wife, and don't give the enemy the opportunity to coerce Brother Anyi, but in this way, will Brother An Yi be the same as the general...... Phew, Brother Anyi's life is very long.
"Cher, Cher, what's wrong with you?" , Li Anyi shook his palm in front of her in confusion.
Lin Xue'er wiped the corners of her somewhat moist eyes and shook her head: "Brother An Yi, I'm fine, it's just that the story of the general and his wife is too touching." ”
"Uh-huh, that's so touching, those enemy troops are so bad!" , Huai'er rubbed her big red eyes, and responded.
Women are really made of water, and they can cry when they listen to a story, so are the small ones, and the same is true for the big ones, no, there is a special case, our Qin Da Woman did not cry, and after listening to the whole story, she was indifferent.
Isn't our Qin Da Woman a normal woman? She has an unknown side, looking at her, Li Anyi has malicious conjectures with bad intentions.
Qin Runing seemed to notice it, and skimmed over, so shocked that Li Anyi hurriedly sat upright and didn't squint.
"Today is the Huai'an Festival, it must be very lively at night, should we go out for a stroll at night?" At this time, Li Anyi proposed.
The nightlife of Huai'an Mansion is already good, not to mention the annual Huai'an Festival, there are definitely a lot of fun places at night, and I have been in this world for so long, and I have not been able to enjoy the nightlife of this world...... Thinking about it, Li Anyi became more and more moved.
"Okay, okay", Huai'er clapped her hands, she likes to go out the most, and the more lively the place, the more she likes it.
......
Night fell quickly, and after the group of four closed the door of Xue Yixuan tightly, they set off.
Huai'an Festival is a big festival in Huai'an Province, even at night, the whole street is bustling, so lively, compared to the daytime.
It's just that most of the things on the street are about love, walking on the street are couples of young people, some are young couples, some are lovers, some are lovers who like each other but have not pierced the tissue paper that is about to become lovers, of course, not only lovers, but also groups of single dogs...... I want to take advantage of this strong love atmosphere to try to get rid of the identity of a single dog......
When passing by a certain place called Bishui Manor, he found that it seemed to be very lively, and without thinking about it, Li Anyi led the three of them to step in directly.
It's just that......
"This son, your invitation?"
A waiter stopped Li Anyi, smiling and polite.
"Invitation? Do you still use an invitation to go in? Then why can he go in without an invitation", Li Anyi pointed to someone who had just entered.
The waiter explained: "Childe, he has already handed in the invitation, but you didn't see it, the master inside has orders, and only those holding the invitation can enter." ”
As he spoke, he also showed an invitation card, which was from the person who had just entered.
"Oh, that's it, excuse me."
Li Anyi expressed regret and turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the waiter.
The waiter pointed to a row of red lanterns behind him and chuckled, "Childe, if you really want to go in, it's okay without an invitation, but there is one condition, that is, you have to guess the answer to one of the riddles before you can enter the manor."
