Following the example of Kangxi sending the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, the Son of Heaven mourned the day and the month, and the late twenty-seven days were full, and the Yongzheng Emperor removed the director. In the past 27 days, in order to prevent changes in Beijing's elbows and armpits, Zhang Tingyu, Longkeduo Yunxiang and the three of them took turns to be on duty day and night, urging the governors of all provinces to congratulate and mourn, and strictly ordered the local officials of Gansu, Shaanxi, Henan, Jin, and Hebei provinces to report in time the situation of welcoming and sending the general Wang Yun into Beijing. These people are full of resentment in their hearts, and they have no choice but to tie their hands and feet inside and out, not to mention discussing, even if they hand over a look and say hello, how many eyes are staring at them, where is half a point of freedom? I couldn't stop complaining in my heart, so I had to wait patiently for the opportunity.

Yun received a funeral report in the army, and wanted to immediately lead the troops into Beijing, but in the city of Beijing, not only Yun Xi and others, but also his own doormen, confidants, ministers, not to mention a piece of paper, a letter, not even a word out, what is the situation in the Beijing division is pitch black, it is really difficult to make decisions, there are only six days of grain storage in the army's grain depot, and the document Nian Qianyao, Nian Qianyao pushed it to Li Wei, Li Wei handed in the post, and said: "There is a day of food in the army, please the fourteenth master marched to behead the slaves." If it snows heavily today, the grain can only be supplied day by day, if you want to store food, please also ask the fourteenth master to kill the slave and choose another master. "As soon as the army moves, what it wants is Jinshan Yinshan Mishan Mianshan, now the situation is unknown, the division is nameless, and there is no grain in stock, marching in this heavy snow, and if you can't get out of Tongguan, you will be hungry, how dare you act rashly? The governor of Gansu and Shaanxi, the governor of Gansu, came to worship at two ends in three days, urged the permission to go to the time, and urged the six gods to have no master, and suffered for a few days, so he had to obey the order, and took ten people to set off, planning to go to Beijing to meet Yun Xi and then discuss. This time was delayed, and the snow was slippery, and when I arrived in Beijing, it was the second day of December, and a large group of officials from the Ministry of Etiquette followed, and went straight to Da Nei to guide, although Dang Fengen was also inside, but there were many people, and even if the two had a thousand words, they could only look at each other. At this time, Yun Shen couldn't help himself, so he had to hand over the sign at Xihua Gate.

"Fourteenth Master!" After a while, Li Dequan, the eunuch of the Six Palaces, greeted him, and said, "Today, the ceremony is removed, and the long live lord is still talking to you, saying that the road is not good, and I am afraid that you will not be able to come back." Yun was stunned for a moment, and said coldly: "Long live? It's the fourth brother, right? Before the grand ceremony was held, it was called long live? It's really a clever person, and you still think about me when you lose it! Li Dequan didn't dare to speak, only silently walked in with Yun, until Taihe Gate, not far from the Qianqing Palace, Li Dequan was really afraid that he would go in and talk nonsense, and he would burden himself, so he stood on his feet and said: "Fourteenth master, the slave has received your grace, and I can't help but take care of it at this time." The overall situation of the Beijing division has been decided, which is very different from when the fourteenth master left Beijing. You'll understand in a few days. Today's master is not as careful as the first emperor, what is the mind of the fourteenth master, and he will slowly say to Banzai in the future, and the brothers who can't be separated will also let go......"

Yun knew his intentions, faced the cold wind, looked at the snow-covered layers of palaces and the dusty heavenly streets, only nodded, and followed Li Dequan into the Qianqing Gate and into the Qianqing Palace. But see sixty-four white gauze palace lamps sandwiched between the Yongdao, the pillars and windows of the vermilion doors and walls of the Jiuying Hall of the Qianqing Palace are all pasted with white paper, the paper tent of the upper and lower spiritual flags of the Danqi is sad and windy, and the white niche of the plain mantle on the main hall is in front of the gold-lacquered Nanmu coffin, which is for Kangxi's spiritual position, which reads:

Hetian Hongyun, Wenwu Ruizhe, frugality, generosity, filial piety, integrity

Emperor Chengren of merit loves the position of Xinjueluo Xuanye

Men and women on both sides of Mu, headed by Yinzhen in the east, kneeling in turn Yunzhi, Yunqi, Yunzuo, Yunyou, Yunyu, Yunyu, Yunxiang, Yunlu, Yunli, Yunqi, Yunyi, Yunyi, Yunyi sixteen adult elder brothers, but the west is headed by Prince Yong Fujin, and the lower head is Kangxi's concubine, headed by Concubine Hui Nalan, Ma Jia, Guo Luoluo, Dai Jia...... What promises, always there...... All those who received Kangxi's blessing knelt down according to their grades, a large white patch, as if they had just mourned, and they were sobbing and sighing in the palace. Li Dequan hurriedly came in and said:

"Long live, the great general Wang Yun has rushed back!"

Yun walked in this white world, he was in a trance, as if in a dream, this voice reminded him, only to know that the world has changed, the scenery is still different, and even his name has changed. As if he had been electrocuted, he shuddered and came to his senses. Suddenly, a bloody, fishy and hot thing poured up between the chest, tears had already snatched out of his eyes, and he knelt down with a long howl, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, lying on the ground of the cold Linqing gold bricks, his hands were desperately slamming on the ground, his body was twisted in pain, and his hoarse voice shocked the hearts of the people in the hall: "Amma! You went...... I'm so miserable...... Bitter! Why do you ...... Don't wait for me...... Wait for me...... Look at you...... You're so ruthless...... I'm so remorseful...... Originally laid down Lhasa...... I just want to come back...... See you...... Why don't you ......? ”

"Mourn!" Zhang Tingyu listened to the unfinished meaning of Yun's words, for fear that this stunned brother would say something even more ugly, so he hurriedly shouted on the side.

So everyone wailed in unison, and this group of people was not compatible, they were all tired of crying, but they were crying dryly, and they had long since lost their tears. Some covered their faces and pretended to cry, some hummed through the cracks of the bricks, and some dragged saliva to think about their thoughts, and made up for it when the crying was low...... It's messy, but it also hides Yun's crying.

"Fourteenth brother," after a long time, after mourning, Yin Zhenfang got up, was helped by Xing Nian to Yun, and sighed, "It's hard to be so far away, it's hard to trek, and finally rushed back, the first emperor is in the spirit of the sky, and he will definitely call you filial." However, today is the day of the removal of clothes, and there are some important things that need to be discussed quickly. You mourn, I still have some confidant words to tell my brothers. He choked up and called Zhang Tingyu and ordered: "All the female dependents, foreign officials and internal officials should withdraw." You go and send a decree to Wu Sidao of my house, I want to go back and meet everyone, and then I will move to the Yang Xin Palace, how many important military affairs are waiting for you......"

Zhang Tingyu agreed to go out, and all the elder brothers knelt up straight, looking at Yinzhen in a daze, not knowing what he had to say. Yin Zhen was full of face, he hadn't shaved for the first month, the hair on his forehead had grown inch by inch, and he looked very haggard, he paced back and forth with a pale face for a long time, and said in a heavy tone: "...... Get up, today is only about brothers, regardless of the monarch or minister......" He raised his face and sighed, and said: "I never expected this imperial throne to be passed on to me. Not only me, but also my brothers and brothers, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that there are very few people today......" He opened these sentences, without a head or tail, as if sighing, everyone didn't know what it meant, and their eyes widened.

"Since ancient times, emperors have not lived long, and there are many reasons." Yin Zhen's face became more and more pale, "Some people enjoy too many blessings, and their children are about to rest, and their voices are empty." Some are delusional about immortality, begging for immortal medicine, refining the Nine Turns Pill, but killing their lives. Therefore, counting from the beating of Zulong, there are only three emperors who have lived past their seventieth birthday. Alas...... What we have all seen, what is the condition of my father's body in his prime? He was not greedy for wine all his life, did not love money, and did not refine pills, so why did he only live to be sixty-nine years old? - I think about this matter, it is the fate of our Aixin Jueluo family! ”

Yinzhen paced slowly, not looking at everyone, but just said: "Zhu Yuanzhang said that since ancient times, the Hu people have no luck for a hundred years, and if you think carefully about the five Hu Chaohua to the Yuan Dynasty, this is indeed the case. We are only 100,000 people, and if we enter the Central Plains, if we don't walk on thin ice day and night, it will be like sprinkling a handful of pepper noodles in Taihu Lake, and it will not become pepper soup after all! How hard it is for us! Try to be careful, get up early and watch five watches, and work diligently with the lights at night, how many mistakes are difficult to consider! In my opinion, the Holy Ancestor is tired of working hard for the common people in the world and for the domination of China! ”

"So being an emperor is a hard job, and being an emperor is a very hard thing for us!" Yin Zhen glanced at his brothers and was silent for a moment, "In terms of talent and learning, I can't compare to the third brother; In terms of loyalty, I am not as good as the fifth brother; In terms of knowledge, the eighth brother is the best; is difficult and troublesome, and it must be counted as the thirteenth brother; When it comes to marching and arranging, I am inferior to my fourteenth brother. Therefore, I was selected to join the succession to the great unification and do this extremely hard thing, not only did I not expect it, but I also did not want to do it! The brothers are all here, and not a single outsider. Whoever of you says that I am not saying it, or any of you who is willing to be the emperor, say it in public today, and I will give way to him! ”

His mouth seemed to be a river gushing, like a heart-to-heart talk, and like persuasion, there was no lack of sincerity in his tone, but also with a huge coercion, the brothers were all dumbfounded, seeing Yun Xiang staring at everyone, Liu Tiecheng and Zhang Fifth Brother outside stood up with a sword and a sword, which one dared to make a battle horse?

"Since you don't want to, I'll have to reluctantly do it." Yin Zhen frowned and said, "For the great cause of my ancestors, I will definitely work diligently and live up to the trust of the emperor." Although I am serious by nature, I am not jealous, and I can forgive others if I have to spare them. As long as you don't feel sorry for me with strange thoughts, and what do you want to do with bad intentions, I have a mistake in government affairs, and you are still like before, just remind me and assist me, not only do I know my gratitude, but Ama is under the Nine Springs, and when he sees that our brothers are in harmony and rule the world together, his old man must also be happy......" As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears. Seeing him like this, Yun Xiang took the lead in getting up and kneeling down, crying: "The emperor attaches so much importance to brotherhood and puts his heart into his heart, even the stone man has been moved!" Now that the distinction between the monarch and the minister has been decided, we must follow the emperor's holy teachings, fulfill the ministers' ways, sanctify the same governance, and sort out the world, so as to repay the emperor and long live Longen! ”

As soon as he knelt like this, the seventeenth elder brother also followed. Naturally, everyone couldn't sit still, and they all prostrated themselves as ministers, and the mountain shouted "Long live"!

"So be it." Yin Zhen held his hands and said, "Brothers, go back first, take care of the housework, and then from tomorrow, we will do business as usual." I have issued an edict to pardon the world, and there are few people in the study, so I want to transfer Ma Qi and Zhao Shenqiao to come in to do things. Take care of the brothers today, one is to open the Enke to take the priest; One is to mint Yongzheng money, which is a common thing; There is another thing, the treasury silver owed by the brothers, if they can afford it, they should be repaid early; If you can't afford to pay it back, you can fold it up, I can't abolish the public because of my own interests, so I'm afraid that I will have to take a small punishment, and I can't abolish my private because of the public, and then reduce the debt, which is also the proper meaning of the question - the Tao is lacking! ”

Yunxiang stayed alone, and after talking to Yinzhen for a while, he resigned, and saw that Long Keduo was entering the Heart Cultivation Hall with a dozen eunuchs, all holding a stack of documents, so he stood up and said with a smile: "Lao Long, are you busy?" Long Keduo saluted and smiled: "This is all what the master wants." Tonight, I want to raid the homes of thirteen Beijing officials to prevent them from transferring their belongings, and I have just arranged to patrol the yamen to surround their houses. The master said, if you have something to ask the thirteenth master directly, where will I find the thirteenth master when the time comes? Is it a mansion, or is it a study? Yun Xiang only smiled and said, "Long live has already given me the list of officials who raided the house." I'm not here at the Lama Temple—you don't have to ask me anything, just do what I'm told!" "Let's go.

Yun Xiang rushed off the horse in the Lama Palace, passed through the courtyard that had been emptied to find Wu Sidao, and when he took out his watch, it was already a Youzheng time card, and the sky was already dark and numb. Seeing that Wu Sidao was silently sorting out the books, he stepped into the door and said with a smile: "I'll say hello to Mr. - these jobs are for people to do, what are you busy with?" Wu Sidao turned around in the flickering candlelight, and gave up his seat: "Long live has passed the decree, come back tonight, and everyone will go to prepare the banquet, I didn't expect the thirteenth master to come so early - you said the good news, how can I be happy?" ”

"Dang Fengen is going to raid his house tonight." Yun Xiang smiled and said, "The eldest husband repays his grievances, the first happy thing, isn't this a joy?" Feel relieved! Ming'er, I'll tell Lao Long, what's that ** girl's name? I'll get you a slave for all the good and cheap families! Wu Sidao didn't say anything, he was just distracted by holding the hand stove, and only said after a while: "Long live the thunder and earthquake at the beginning of the throne, refreshing politics and rectifying finances, this is indeed a joy." When others cry tonight, I have no joy at all. Yunxiang laughed: "Mr. is really worried about the world!" I'll tell you again, I said to me in person at the Palace of Nourishing Hearts today, Mr. has the talent to complement each other, but he has no position, so Mr. Kaienke and Mr. Tejian went to Hanlin to study, and then transferred to the study. Xuanma worships the prime minister, is there anything more joyful than this? ”

Wu Sidao's expression seemed a little sluggish, and he smiled strangely and said: "Sort of—the thirteenth master is happy tonight, and it is a case to report good news to me, I'm afraid it's true that you have a happy event yourself." Speak up, and let me rejoice! "Dushi." Yun Xiang couldn't hide his smug expression, and leaned back and stretched, "Actually, I already knew." Long live said that on New Year's Day, Jin was crowned my prince, and the hereditary replacement! It doesn't matter if the king is not the king, this 'hereditary recklessness' is rare! Wu Sidao's eyes shone under the lamp, smiled quietly, and said, "King of Iron Hats, children and grandchildren will never be." Okay! There are nine of them, including you. ”

"What's wrong with you tonight, so unruly?"

Wu Sidao stretched out his hand to push a cup of tea to Yun Xiang, sighed and was silent, seeing Yun Xiang's face of surprise, he smiled bitterly: "Thirteen masters, I have known you for fifteen years, you are naïve and reckless, chivalrous and righteous, and I admire you very much." There is a sentence today, maybe I want to fall to the ground when I say it, I don't know if I should say it or not? ”

Yun Xiang was stunned by his expression, holding the already cold tea in his hand, staring at Wu Sidao.

"This iron hat king, you have to quit desperately to keep you safe for the rest of your life!" Wu Sidao seemed to be overwhelmed, hugging the copper hand stove tightly, his voice low and hoarse. "The fourth master jackal is wolf, and the eagle looks at the ape and listens, it is the lord of the Yin Owl and the Hero......"

"Didn't you say he was ...... a tiger?"

"Yes, that was at the time, and he didn't have faith." Wu Sidao's tone was so cold that it made people tremble, "You haven't explored the world. Make friends with ordinary people, share happiness and hardships. Make friends with the Son of Heaven, share hardships and hardships, and share joys and difficulties. ”

"I don't believe it! Today, the fourth brother also said that he would never do anything like a bird hiding his bow! ”

Wu Sidao smiled coldly: "Tomorrow, my words can be verified, Zhou Yongcheng, Mo Xiang Mo Yu, Sex Yin and Sticky Rod, more than a dozen of the most confidants, I am afraid that the secret mission for the fourth master will be ......"

Yun Xiang shuddered, his face became pale as paper, his lips moved, but he couldn't say a word, the two of them exchanged glances under the lamp, only to hear a gust of wind outside the courtyard, like something fluttering wings in the woods, and then the terrible cry of the owl, which made Yun Xiang get goosebumps. On such a cold winter night, there is ice and snow everywhere, the Lama Temple is lonely in the suburbs of Beijing, the neighbors are not leaning, it is all wilderness, all the relatives of Yinzhen have moved into the palace, leaving only the original study of the people and staff monks, at this time, the mouth is extinguished, it is really murderous like grass and silent! Yun Xiang sighed coldly, and in an instant, he had a thought, he wanted to escape from the door!

"Thirteenth Master, don't be afraid, as long as you rein in your edge, long live will not be what will happen to you," Wu Sidao flicked the wax core, and the room lit up a little, "I only ask you for one thing, don't tell others what I say." There is a cloud in the Book of Changes: The king does not lose his state, and the minister does not lose his body - don't worry about me, I have the way of self-improvement. ”

"What about them?"

Wu Sidao lowered his eyelids and sighed deeply: "They know too much about things they shouldn't know......" was about to continue, when he heard footsteps in the distance, Zhou Yongcheng jumped in, rubbed his hands and stomped his feet and smiled: "Good weather, the thief is cold!" Is Wen Jue ready? The master has returned! As soon as the words fell, Yin Zhen had already come in with more than a dozen eunuchs, and seeing Wu Sidao struggling to get up to greet him, he hurriedly stepped forward and pressed his hands together, and said with a smile: "You are still you, I am still me, don't be like this life." Tonight's gathering is very rare, and after tomorrow, I will be busy again. Why is there only one stick of wax in this house? - Let's go over the study, and talk while eating and drinking—" A few little eunuchs heard that the emperor was too dark, and they were busy lighting seven or eight more candles. Yunxiang just stood aside like a fool and watched all this, judging Yinzhen, feeling a lot stranger all of a sudden.

"Hooray!" Wu Sidao finally knelt down, bowed to the ground, and said, "The minister has a secret performance." ”

Yin Zhen looked at Yun Xiang suspiciously, and said calmly: "-Then, the thirteenth brother, you go over first, talk to Wen Jue Xingyin first, and wait for me." I talked to my husband for a few words and went over. When Yunxiang left with a group of people, Yinzhen asked again: "What did the old thirteen say?" You don't look right! - You get up and speak. ”

"That's it." Wu Sidao sat up straight, and said with a heavy heart, "The Thirteenth Master came to report the good news, saying that he was ready to use the ministers. When the minister saw Long Live alone, he just wanted to say goodbye to Long live. Yin Zhen didn't say anything, stood up and paced to the window, looked at the dark night outside, and asked for a while: "Why?" Wu Sidao stared at Yinzhen's back and said slowly: "There are three taboos, and three are not available." ”

Yin Zhen turned around, his face was as cold as a layer of frost, but he didn't squeak, and looked at Wu Sidao faintly.

"It's a taboo for a minister to be a disabled person." Wu Sidao looked at Yinzhen without flinching, "The state takes soldiers and awards officials, and has its own system." In the case of the Qing Dynasty, the fortunes of the country are flourishing, there are many talents, the ministers have been in the palace for more than ten years, and the Chinese and foreign people know a lot, and they are suddenly placed on the temple, although they are not public, although they are selfless and selfish, I am afraid that they will hurt the saints. This is one unavailable. ”

Yin Zhen had no expression on his face.

"The minister was originally a criminal person, this is a second taboo." Wu Sidao said, "In the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi, the minister was filial piety and honesty, and he should be tested by Tianfu, and led 500 people to carry the God of Wealth to make trouble in the tribute courtyard, which shook the government and the opposition, and the world knew it. Although it was because of righteous indignation, in the end it was a violation of the national law, and the first emperor once issued an edict to arrest him, and the ministers absconded. In order to hate the officials and rule the darkness, the ministers entered the capital again and chose the lord to do things. Long live now that he has achieved fame, that is, he uses his ministers to assist the emperor. Zaichen was originally guilty of Yu Qin, and Zaijun interfered with the original intention of the Holy Ancestor, and used this disloyal minister to make his subordinates discuss long live as an unfilial king, which is not available. ”

Yin Zhen was shocked and moved when he heard this, sat down unconsciously, stroked his knees and groaned: "It's just a pity for you." ”

"That's the third taboo." Wu Sidao saw that he was moved, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Although the minister is thin and talented, he is a conspiracy. Long live the dragon day, the sky watch, the spring Huamaode, and the upright. This is taboo! The minister has been blessed in the Long Live Mansion for more than ten years, and the advisers and attendants have listened to all the words and all the plans, and they have already exhausted their mental strength in the countless stormy waves, such as the dregs of the medicine that have been boiled dry, how can they be used again? If long live the heart of loyalty and loyalty, let the ministers return to the mountain, bathe in the sanctification, and the world of the dancing crane will be the lord of the whole beginning and the end in long live, and the minister will be the minister of wisdom and reason, and it will be passed on to future generations, and it will also be a good story of the storm. Long live if you don't allow the minister's request, the minister will commit suicide tonight with medicine, so as not to hurt the saint's knowledge! As he spoke, tears rolled out of his eyes.

Yin Zhen couldn't help but be gloomy, he was going to kill his mouth tonight, he had listened to Wen Jue's warning, Yun Zhen's henchmen outside were like a forest, the political situation was unstable, and Zhou Yongcheng and his party couldn't deal with it, and he would take out the affairs of Yongdi in the future, just to borrow Yun Zhen to add fuel to the fire, so he planned to kill all of them in the second half of the night after drinking. But Wu Sidao's words have actually shown that he will never enter politics and never leak secrets, thinking of more than ten years of acquaintances, praising Xiang day and night, and reciting poems and papers, these feelings are difficult to put down the drain. Thinking about it, he sighed and said, "I know your heart." I wonder what you're planning right now? Wu Sidao suddenly put his mind at ease and said calmly: "Lama Temple is now the Palace of the Son of Heaven, and since the day of the edict, I have rented a house on Qipan Street. Long live since the invitation of the minister, as soon as I see him tonight, even if he resigns, the minister has been phlegm and wheezing for a few days, and he does not dare to receive the wine feast, so he will move out and return to his hometown in Wuxi by land in a few days. The minister has not eaten the water of his hometown for more than 20 years. ”

"Okay, it's up to you." Yin Zhen thought that Yunxiang was waiting over there, got up and wrote a note on the side of the desk, and said: "But if you fight with me and go back empty-handed, I can't bear it." When I paid off my second brother's debts, I used your 700,000 silver. As for the reward for you, I want to attract rumors, so I won't pay you back. The big is hidden in the court, the middle is hidden in the city, and the small is hidden in the wild. You don't want to hide big, and you don't want to hide little. You go, Ming'er asked Yunxiang to take a look at you, find you a reliable official, and you go to be a master. In the future, I will go out on patrol or he will go to Hajj, and I will see him. ”

"Long live thanks! Long live such a long life, the minister's broken bones are not enough to repay in case! ”

"Needless to say." Yinzhen waved his hand, called in a eunuch, and ordered: "You bring my edict, send Mr. Wu out in a small sedan chair, and settle it on Qipan Street, you talk back!" ”

"Wow!" The eunuch agreed, came over to hold Wu Sidao, and said, "Sir, let's go slowly......"

Wu Sidao stayed at the Ningxin Inn on Qipan Street that night. This is a house he has rented for a long time, the shopkeeper has already received the silver, I don't know what kind of noble person he is, I don't know what kind of noble person he is, but I see it today, but he is a lonely crippled person, and he sees that it is a eunuch himself, and he doesn't know where it comes from.

He was the only one left in the room, and he sat silently, trying to settle down, but tonight he changed his habits and could not be still. From the summer of the forty-sixth year of Kangxi to Beijing, it has been fifteen and a half years now. Came in alone, did a vigorous career, and now is left alone, it's really like a bizarre dream! Scenes of the past come up and down, press down and rise again, and there can be no calm.

"I don't know what tomorrow will be, I can't sleep tonight......" Wu Sidao and his clothes lay down for a while, the kang burned hot, and he felt even more irritable, he got up and pushed the door out, but he saw a crescent moon in the sky, and the light fell bleakly, and the snow on the roof and the corner of the yard was smeared with mercury, faint and shiny, but the cold hit people. He hesitated in the courtyard for a long time, and was about to return to his room, when he heard someone crying outside the wall, and when he heard the voice of a woman, he paced to the account room and asked the shopkeeper, "Who is crying outside?" ”

"It's two women." The shopkeeper smiled indifferently, "They came in a while, and they wanted to stay in the hotel, but I didn't agree—this is under the master's contract." Wu Sidao groaned and said, "Seeing that the time has come, it's too cold, call them in!" The shopkeeper smiled slyly, agreed to open the door, and said, "Come in!" Who told you to meet such a nice guest? ”

When Wu Sidao flashed his eyes, there were three people, two women, and a young man of fifteen or sixteen, so he said: "There is a fire here, please come over to warm up a little first, and then go over when the boss cleans up the house." The three men did not say a word, but went all the way into the main room, and they all knelt down!

"That's what to say! You-"

Wu Sidao was taken aback, and was about to ask the shopkeeper to pick them up, but the two women had already raised their heads, and they were actually like this—one was Jin Fenggu, and the other was Lan Cao'er! He stared at him in amazement for a long time, and asked with a stutter, "Lan Cao'er!" You're not—"

"I'm not dead...... Lan Cao'er was full of tears, choked up, "They used the excuse to take your ......" Wu Sidao moved his gaze to Feng Gu again, for a long time, sighed: "I have heard about your family......" Feng Gu lowered her head and whispered: "The family has been copied, I just returned to the door, and the Jin family has also copied ......"

Wu Sidao sat upright and was silent. After a long time, he said slowly: "It's a pity. The hairy young man craned his neck and shouted, "Cousin! You can't wrong my mom! It wasn't for my mother to tell my grandmother to tell you, your bones were burned to ashes! Lan Cao'er remembered the events of that night, and her face was flushed, but Aunt Feng could hold it and said, "Cousin, it's not good for me to have a debtor and a master." Now that both families have been defeated, and your revenge has been avenged, I have discussed with Lan Gu to become a monk. It's just that this kid is small and doesn't know anything, so how can he live ......" he said, whimpering and wanting to let go.

"Please......" Lan Cao'er's eyes were full of pleading, looking at Wu Sidao's face, the following words couldn't be said, Wu Sidao nodded, got up and said, "I have inconvenient legs and feet, so I won't help you, child, you help them up." After the three of them got up, Wu Sidao sighed deeply, and said: "I am a person who has been through the sea for a long time, and there are many troubles in the world, and I don't know how much I have experienced more than your grievances and grievances. Those things, to me, have long been like smoke. If I had caren, I would have been rid of you a long time ago...... Now even though I don't practice, I'm still practicing, and even though I'm not a monk, I'm still a monk. Come with me, there's always something to eat......"

After placing the three of them to rest, Wu Sidao became more and more sleepy. I turned off the lights and sat alone on the warm kang. The moonlight was like a wash, and the soft light bathed his whole body through the window, and he remained motionless for a long time. Suddenly, three dull noon cannons were heard in the distance, and it was midnight. Wu Sidao looked at the cold star, the yin and yang, what will happen tomorrow? Wu Sidao didn't think about it anymore, he was too familiar with the emperor.
