Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Undercurrent of the State City (Second Update)
So fast!
Xia Jingyun was in a trance, and then nodded and said, "Naturally, I want to send one to my sister." Is Master going? ”
Concubine De shook her head, "Father doesn't want to go, I only show up when I go to the state city, and I will leave overnight, and he will be tired from going with him." ”
Xia Jingyun thought for a while, "I went to the state city, and I may have to stay in the state city for a while, after all, the autumn season is coming, so I still have to prepare a little." Mr. Su is also going back, and Master will be alone again. ”
Concubine De sighed, "I asked him to follow me into Beijing, but he was always unwilling, saying that he was alone here, and when he entered Beijing, I also lived deep in the palace wall, he was still alone, and I was helpless." ”
Xia Jingyun thought for a moment and said, "Sister, I have an idea. I went back and persuaded my parents to move in with Master in Jiang'an. Now that I'm going to the state city, my cousin is going north with the Wudang army, and they can take care of each other. And my cousin is in her twenty-eighth year, and there is a junior in the family who can also liven up the atmosphere a little more. ”
If it were Xia Jingyun's past era, maybe Concubine De would inevitably wonder if you kid wanted to occupy the magpie's nest, Li Dai Taozhuang, or something.
But right now, few people are willing to leave their homes, let alone move their families.
Coupled with the performance of the two brothers Xia Jingyun and Xia Yunfei over time, Concubine De will not think much about that aspect.
So Concubine De spoke: "Wouldn't it be too reluctant?" ”
Xia Jingyun smiled, "I'm also preparing for the future." If we are lucky enough to go according to our plan, I will also settle in Zhongjing City in the future, let them take a small step now, and let them take a big step in the future. ”
Concubine De couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "You will comfort people." ”
Talking to smart people is worry-free.
"Then I will write a letter and talk to my parents first, so that they can be mentally prepared, and then I will personally persuade them to move to Jiang'an in a later time."
Concubine De nodded with a smile, got up and took his hand, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Xia Jingyun:()
"Sister, don't worry, I will continue to work hard and strive to be your most trusted and solid reliance in the future."
Concubine De covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's already good now!" My sister was very satisfied. ”
"The future is still long!"
"Okay, then sister wait and see!"
Coming out of Yunfu, he arrived at the Wudang Army barracks again, Jiang Yuhu was presiding over the military drills, and when he saw him coming, he frowned, "Why are you smiling like a fool?" ”
"Is there one?" The dazed Xia Jingyun touched his face, tried his best to return to normal, looked at the scene below, and skillfully spit out a sentence, "I thought that the general was just talented in war, and I never thought that governing the army was also strict, when a person is better than others, but he has to work harder than others, it is impossible not to succeed!" The grass people are served! ”
Jiang Yuhu's face looked a lot better with the naked eye, and his poker face was still looking straight ahead, "Call you, there are two things, the first thing, Song Renxia has been arrested, but I will dispose of the people in my army by myself, and I will not hand them over to the imperial court, you go and talk to Concubine De." ”
"The general is kind-hearted and cares about the friendship of the robe, no wonder no army can become the strongest army in the world! Niangniang will also understand, please rest assured general. ”
Jiang Yuhu couldn't help but turn his head and glance at him, as if he couldn't figure out how such an amazingly talented young man could practice this ability comparable to that of an old traitor in the court, but the "happiness of a faint king" in his heart was really real, "The second thing, Jin Jiancheng went to get some quails back, seeing that you are so empty, I will give you a supplement." ”
Xia Jingyun blurted out, "Quails can also make up for it?" ”
Jiang Yuhu said lightly: "Complement form with form, haven't you heard of it?" ”
Then this little bird can't make up for me, I'm an eagle owl.
Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "General, I'm going to refute this, the theory of supplementing form with form is somewhat fallacious, according to this statement, if I want to eat people, then I will become a human being." ”
Just like a person who doesn't know how to refuse, his affirmation is meaningless, and a person who blindly flatters, over time, his praise will become cheap, and he has to pick some such inconsequential trivial things to refute and argue twice, so that the praise will appear so sincere.
As a qualified and excellent project manager, Xia Jingyun has long been familiar with these things.
But his rebuttal fell on Jiang Yuhu's ears, but it did not cause any waves.
Jiang Yuhu just turned his head and glanced at him calmly, "How do you think they became people?" ”
Duang!
Xia Jingyun was like being hit on the head, knocking his brain buzzing.
In the big tent, two people eat quail in silence.
"Why are you so empty?"
"Ahem, I don't exercise much on weekdays."
"It's too much exercise, right?"
"General, let's get down to business."
"Not interested." Jiang Yuhu drank the last sip of soup, "Let your cousin help you decorate the quails and go back early." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and went into the back of the big tent, leaving Xia Jingyun alone in front of the bird, messy for a while.
Back in the courtyard, Rouge looked at the string of quails and tried to hold back a smile.
Xia Jingyun's face darkened, "If you want to laugh, laugh." ”
Rouge chuckled lightly and helped him rub his shoulders, "Childe is fierce and fierce, so you don't need these things." ”
Xia Jingyun nodded with satisfaction without shame, "You really have the most right to speak when you say this." ”
Men can admit that they are poor and ugly, but they will never admit that they are not good at that aspect.
There are many sayings that can be corroborated: the king has no details, the big words are repeated, the long-term peace and stability and so on.
It's a pity that the words are flowery, but the actions are the real chapter.
Just tonight, this man who was so empty that he was sleeping soundly couldn't even say anything deep, so Rouge couldn't help but think that tomorrow he might as well stew the quail and take it on the road to drink.
Parting is often like this, even if the date is set in advance, but when that moment really comes, emotions will really pour out.
Because, it's not time that hurts, it's the situation.
Concubine De and Old Man Yun stood outside the pavilion outside the city, holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes.
Old Man Yun looked at his daughter, not knowing what this goodbye would look like, and even whether he could have a chance to see him again, he couldn't help but cry.
Concubine De also looked at her father's aging face, and a thousand sorrows surged in her heart.
Standing in front of him, he seemed to be the carefree girl; But after this parting, I will be alone with the cold wind of that day and night.
But in the end, they just hugged softly and then said goodbye to each other.
parted too hard, as if he really regarded this side as the last side.
Even if it really is, they don't want to believe it, and they have to leave a thought for the rest of their lives.
Seeing that the curtain of the car was lowered and the coachman was in place, Old Man Yun took a deep breath and shouted.
"Congratulations to Concubine De Niangniang!"
In a word, she instantly broke away from Concubine De's defense, and she sat in the carriage, tears rained down.
Xia Jingyun silently walked to Old Man Yun's side, "Master, I wrote a letter to my parents, and when the time comes, they will move to Jiang'an and accompany you more." I'll come back to see you often. ”
"Gao Yang! Don't worry about these things, I'm in good health! You do your thing. Autumn is only more than ten days away, and I can wait to celebrate your high school! ”
"Master, rest assured, I will not let you down."
"Okay, let's go, don't fall too far, I'm fine, just take it as a lively dream, how should I live my life!"
When Xia Jingyun heard this, his heart was inexplicably sour, he remembered some pictures he had seen before, snorted, and hugged the old man, "Master, take care." ”
Old Man Yun was suddenly hugged like this, his body stiffened, he slowly relaxed, and gently patted Xia Jingyun's back, "You also take care." ”
Xia Jingyun jumped into the carriage and waved his hand to Old Man Yun, and the coachman flicked his whip, "Drive!" ”
Walking out, he gently lifted the side curtain, and sure enough, he saw Old Man Yun standing at the door like a stone pillar, watching them go away fixedly.
Xia Jingyun retracted his gaze and gently wiped the moist corners of his eyes, Xie Rouge held his hand, gentle and silent, just like her usual gentle and silent companionship.
"Rouge, can I teach you how to sing?"
"Hmm."
Xia Jingyun hummed softly, Xie Rouge learned it again, then lightly opened his lips and sang.
The melodious sound came from the carriage and resounded on the ancient road in the mountains.
"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green"
——
Along the way, Xia Jingyun, who was with the team, would also go to say goodbye and chat with Concubine De when he stopped.
and then used a song "Farewell" to make Concubine De cry again.
Then he went to Jiang Yuhu again, touting and praising him, so that Jiang Yuhu was immersed in the happiness of the faint monarch and couldn't extricate himself.
As the team progressed and the messengers arrived, he gradually learned some of the aftermath of the rebellion.
The officials of the entire Jianning County were almost swept away, including Zhao Hongfei, the commander of Jiang'an County, and Qian Debao, the commander of Wanfu County, who still fantasized about waiting for the Zheng family and his son to turn the situation around.
Wanfu County was personally visited by Xia Yunfei, who directly uprooted Qian Debao and Lu Erhu's evil forces, and sent a letter from Xia Jingyun to his family by the way, which also reunited him with his family when he was about to go north with the army.
In Jiang'an City, Yicuilou's busyness gradually stopped, and in the fright of the Zheng family's rebellion, Ning Bing didn't wait for Concubine De to leave, so she hurriedly returned to Zhongjing with a group of people from Beijing, I don't know how she would evaluate this trip to Jiang'an.
The wheels are like time, slowly running over, leaving traces, but it is difficult to turn back.
It went round and round, turning around the bumps and distances, and slowly approaching the end of the road it wanted to go.
——
The city of Surabaya Prefecture, the prison in the city.
Outside the prison, there stood a group of guards with guns, and behind them, a group of men dressed in power suits and carrying knives.
The two teams have completely different painting styles and temperaments, so that people can easily distinguish that they are a strong force in the army, and the state city is a military officer.
Such a tight guard is because in the prison behind them, a group of rebels who are trying to rebel are imprisoned.
In the deepest part of the cell, there is a well-guarded cell.
In the cell, the man with shackles on his hands and shackles on his feet was the second-in-command of the state who tried to meet the rebels in the state city this time, and sacrificed the state city to put Concubine De in a place of no return, Changshi Lu Fengyuan.
Now that he has lost the matter and is in prison, he doesn't see much panic and depression on his face, and his back is straight as he sits against the wall.
A sound of footsteps sounded from the cell door, and he slowly came to the cell door where Lu Fengyuan was.
"Lord Lu?"
The cell boss was holding a large food box in his hand, hunched over, and his face was flattering.
Lu Fengyuan turned his head to look at him, and said lightly: "Come in." ”
"Huh!" With permission, the cell boss dared to open the cell door, set up a small table, and put out the contents of the food box.
There was meat, vegetables, and wine.
Not only that, but the cell boss was also a little apprehensive, and said apologetically: "The city has been strictly controlled in the past two days, and I haven't been able to buy your beloved Liuxiangju, please don't blame you." ”
Lu Fengyuan looked indifferent, "It's okay." Pour a glass of wine first. ”
"Huh!" The cell leader hurriedly poured a glass of wine, handed it to Lu Fengyuan's mouth with both hands and fed it.
Then he took a few more mouthfuls of vegetables and fed them into Lu Fengyuan's mouth.
It's not the first time to see this tacit posture.
The cell leader said cautiously: "My lord, according to the plan, Concubine De will arrive tomorrow." ”
"What? Scared? ”
"No, no, the little one has an adult as a backer, how can you be afraid of her!"
"Just don't be afraid!" Lu Fengyuan smiled contemptuously, "I haven't made any moves myself, and he hasn't been able to find any correspondence from my mansion without being in the army, what can I do?" ”
He snorted, "When the time comes, my cousin will join her Yun Qingzhu to pretend to be Tianwei and brutalize Zhongliang, and then accuse her of wantonly planting cronies in Surabaya Prefecture, cultivating forces, and having bad intentions, what danger can this official have?" ”
"Your Excellency is wise!" The cell boss looked excited, and immediately fed him another glass of wine, "It's just a pity that the adults have been in Surabaya Prefecture for so many years." ”
Lu Fengyuan shook his head, "You are wrong, the foundation of this official is in the palace, in the unity of the nobles, the honorable and noble do not fall, the mother does not fall, the mother does not fall, the official does not fall, the official does not fall, how can the foundation of Surabaya Prefecture fall." ”
He laughed, "This is the general trend, even if I say it so openly, I am not afraid of being heard." ”
The cell boss suddenly sighed with emotion: "The little one can serve the adult, which is really a blessing for three lives." ”
Lu Fengyuan leaned against the wall, "When the official leaves, you will follow you into Beijing, and when you arrive in Zhongjing, after I get rid of my crimes, I will have your own creation." ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Lu Fengyuan snorted, and then looked at a vegetable plate, and the cell head hurriedly grabbed a chopstick and sent it over.
In the rancid cell, the smell of food and wine is wading.
Two more than 7,000 words, the basic update has been written. And also.
