Chapter 33 The Great Cold Day, Hundreds of Officials Hang Filial Piety, and the People Pray for Blessings on the Shangyuan Festival (2)

Mo Feifeng led Zhao Guangyi, Cao Bin and others to the Zhizhou Mansion, and said to Zhao Guangyi on the way: "The official family, the last general will have nothing to do for a few days, make a few sharp weapons, and hope that the official family will taste one or two." ”

Zhao Guangyi said happily: "In the past, during the Warring States Period, Mozi invented countless divine weapons to help the Song State resist Qiang Chu. In the Tang Dynasty, the Mo clan of Suiyang Hall assisted the famous general Zhang Xun to defend Suiyang, and resisted the Anshi rebels with the power of a city for more than a year, which is really miraculous. Now Suiyang Tang is willing to serve my Great Song Dynasty, which is really the blessing of the widow, and the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Mo Feifeng smiled and said: "The official family has praised it falsely, our Mo family has always been trained to be love, non-aggressive, thrifty, and virtuous, and what we want is nothing more than to live up to the world, live up to the ancestral teachings, and live up to our conscience, and we don't deserve such praise from the officials." ”

The two of them had arrived at the Zhizhou Mansion while talking, Zhao Guangyi was about to enter the mansion with Mo Fei, but the smile on his face suddenly converged, he looked at Cao Bin and Pan Mei, and said: "The two Qing families, now that Uncle Fu Guo has died, and Yuwen Qing's family is guarding the spirit of the national abbot in Luoyang, who is in charge of the Daimyo's Mansion now?" ”

Cao Bin said: "Official, after Uncle Fu Guo was killed, the Daimyo Mansion should have been represented by General Yuwen. But he was anxious to go to Luoyang to mourn, so the Daimyo Mansion should be temporarily managed by Wang Hua at this time. ”

Zhao Guangyi said worriedly: "Although Wang Hua is an old minister of the two dynasties, and he has always been generous, how can he be a shallow learner, I am afraid that I will be embarrassed by this crisis." He said and hurriedly looked at Mo Fei and said: "General Mo, I suddenly remembered that I had something urgent to do, and I was going back to the Daimyo's Mansion. ”

Mo Feifeng seemed to be a little embarrassed, and said: "The official family, Rongcheng is a place where the soldiers must fight, if the last general goes to the Daimyo Mansion with the official family, then who should handle the size of Rongcheng?" ”

Zhao Guangyi thought for a while, looked at Cao Bin and said, "Cao Qing's family, this place will be temporarily garrisoned by you, what do you think?" ”

Cao Bin was stunned at first, and then thought to himself, "Most of the officials don't trust Mo Fei, who just surrendered, so they want me to temporarily replace him." When attacking the Northern Han Dynasty in the future, it can also be attacked, retreated, and defended, which can not only provide a steady stream of supplies for the front line, but also resist the surprise attacks of the Liao and Han armies, which is also the best policy. He thought about it and hurriedly arched his hand: "Yes, the last general will take the order, and he will never disappoint the hard work of the officials!" ”

Zhao Guangyi smiled with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said, "Two Qing families, let's go to the Daimyo's Mansion with me." ”

Two days later, the Daimyo's Mansion.

In the midday sun, a team of men and horses came in a hurry from the north. The dazzling sunlight shone on the yellow Roman car that Zhao Guangyi was riding, reflecting the already dazzling Huang Luo into an incomparably noble golden yellow, which was very much like a golden car made of pure gold. Next to the carriage was a battle-hardened horse, and on the horse sat a gray-haired veteran, but still majestic. They were followed by nearly a thousand guards, all of whom were bright and armored, and their spirits were unusual.

In a short time, the group had arrived in front of the Daimyo's mansion.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Zhao Guangyi lifted the curtain and slowly got out of the carriage. He didn't expect anyone to come to pick him up, and even the city was bound to be in shambles. But as soon as he got off the carriage, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, only to see more than a dozen officials of the Daimyo Mansion standing neatly in front of the carriage, all of them slammed to the ground towards the carriage that Zhao Guangyi was riding, with a respectful and calm expression. Everything in front of me was in order, and there was no sense of panic.

Zhao Guangyi looked at the leading official in surprise, only to see that he was slightly fat, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and it was Wang Hua, the general judge of the Daimyo Mansion. He couldn't help but doubt in his heart, "I have known Wang Hua for a long time, although he has a good character, but he has no ability to govern the city, how can he manage the Daimyo's Mansion in such an orderly manner at such a critical juncture?" ”

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a young official in an eight-grade green coat standing next to Wang Hua. This person is only twenty years old, and he was born cold and elegant, as if he was an immortal who was degraded from the heavens and the lower realm. When Zhao Guangyi saw this person, the dragon's body trembled uncontrollably, and thousands of thoughts appeared in his eyes, but he immediately returned to the same as before.

He then walked slowly in front of this person and said with a smile: "Secretary Yun, I have received a report that your peace talks have been successful, and I wanted to announce that you have entered Beijing to celebrate, but how did I expect that Rongcheng was lost, and I heard that your life and death were uncertain, and I said that I was a jealous talent!" Fortunately, Secretary Yun did not die, and took care of the Daimyo's Mansion in an orderly manner, which is really commendable! ”

Yun Zixiao slowly straightened up, and said guiltily: "Official, the incident in Rongcheng happened suddenly, and the minister managed to escape back to the Daimyo's Mansion with great difficulty. After returning to the house, he saw that the order in the house was chaotic, and he had to commit the crime of trespassing, and he hoped to be punished. ”

Zhao Guangyi shook his head and said, "Secretary Yun can clear the rank of the officials in a few days, so that the Daimyo's Mansion will not be lost, I should reward you heavily, is there any reason for punishment?" By the way, whatever reward you want, even if you say it, I don't allow it. ”

Yun Zixiao thought about it for a while, and then said with some hesitation: "Officials, the ministers don't dare to ask for high-ranking officials, they just want to be able to go back to Bianliang to recuperate for a few days during the Shangyuan Festival, and their wishes are fulfilled." ”

Zhao Guangyi said: "Secretary Yun, your successful discussion and peace have saved my Great Song Dynasty from the flames of war, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have all praised each other. If I don't do it, I'm afraid that the officials won't accept it. It's better to promote you to be sentenced to criminal state, and allow you to go back to Bianliang to recuperate for half a month, what do you think? ”

Yun Zixiao hurriedly knelt in front of Zhao Guangyi, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you officials, may my emperor live long, long live, long live!" Zhao Guangyi smiled and picked up Yun Zixiao, and then strode towards the Daimyo's mansion.

A moment later, the Daimyo Mansion.

Yun Zixiao settled Zhao Guangyi and his party properly, and sat alone in the room reading, when there was a knock on the door. The knock was very soft, obviously it didn't take much effort, but the sound that reached Yun Zixiao's ears was very loud, and the person who could knock on this sound was undoubtedly a master.

"Brother Yun is in the room?" Mo Fei's cold voice sounded outside the door, and Yun Zixiao slowly got up and opened the door. Yun Zixiao looked at Mo Feijian standing at the door, and a sense of closeness arose in his heart.

"Brother Mo Xian, come to the house and talk about it." Yun Zixiao said and made a gesture of please, Mo Feijian smiled when he saw this, and slowly walked into the hut where Yun Zixiao lived.

The two sat opposite each other in the room, and Mo Feizheng said with emotion: "Brother Yun, it has been more than half a month since you and I have been separated, and the younger brother is missing Brother Yun all the time!" ”

Yun Zixiao smiled slightly and said, "Brother Mo Xian, last time you and I met in a hurry, I didn't have time to talk in detail, I don't know how you got acquainted with General Yuwen?" How can you gain his trust in just a few days and let him entrust his life to you? ”

Mo Fei said leisurely: "After saying goodbye to Yuhua Building, I will return to Suiyang, take care of the affairs in the hall, and then go to Bianliang to look for you." I didn't know, as soon as I arrived in Bianliang, I heard that you were sent to the border, so I had to rush to the border. I wanted to see you at the border pass, but by accident it coincided with your envoy to Liao, I wanted to go to Linhuang Mansion to find you, and we had a good relationship with each other, but I accidentally met General Yuwen, who was sent by Fu Zhaoxin to intercept and kill you. I feared for your safety, and fought a great battle with him, and although I was defeated by his men, he cherished me as a talent and did not kill me. In addition, I heard that I was your friend, so you arranged me in the army, and then there was a later thing. ”

Yun Zixiao bowed slightly, and then asked, "Brother Mo Xian, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to ask or not?" ”

Mo Feijian smiled, "Brother Yun, please speak!" ”

Yun Zixiao also smiled slightly, and continued to ask: "Presumably, Brother Xian has also seen that General Yuwen is definitely not a person who has lived under the people for a long time, if he really rebels against the Song Dynasty one day, I don't know which side Brother Xian will stand on?" ”

Mo Fei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Haha, it depends on where Brother Yun stands, no matter where Brother Yun stands, the younger brother will only look forward to Brother Yun!" ”

Yun Zixiao also smiled when he heard this, "Haha, if I don't stand anywhere, are you willing to follow me first?" ”

Mo Feijian said without thinking: "If Brother Yun has the heart to reap the profits, then the little brother will go down to the river to catch the snipe and mussels for you, and never let Brother Yun's wish be disappointed." ”

"You!" Yun Zixiao smiled and shook his head, "I really don't know why such a smart person as you have to make up your mind to follow me?" What I can give you is only afraid that it is far less than what the official family and General Yuwen can give you! ”

Mo Fei attacked: "They may be able to give me a lot, so what! Looking at the world, the only one who can really convince me is you. His tone was very solemn, not like he was joking, but Yun Zixiao still smiled sincerely.

Time is like water, and it has come to the Shangyuan Festival in a flash.

The Nanqing Palace is a group of singing and dancing on weekdays, and today it is even more silky and bamboo, spending all day and wine. Inside and out, it doesn't look like a royal mansion at all, but like a magnificent, unparalleled Goolan Washer.

Zhao Defang was sitting in the main hall of Fuzhong, holding a young girl in his arms, drinking wine while admiring the ancient songs he had written. When he drank heartily, he often spoke a chapter, and asked the singers in the temple to compose new songs as they pleased, and sang until he was satisfied. It was so lively that even the palace in the distance could be heard clearly, and the palace maids and eunuchs looked at the palace together.

Murong Yunyao didn't like these quickly, if it weren't for Brother Yun asking her to wait for him here before leaving, she would have already left the Nanqing Palace with her previous personality. At this time, she was so disturbed by the deafening sound of drums that she had to put on a white cloak and walked out of the room. She stood alone in the wind and snow, looking in the direction of the city gate, as if she could cross thousands of mountains and rivers to see him in the distance.

The night was beautiful tonight, with a full moon hanging high in the sky, and the bright moonlight sprinkled all over the earth. Such a scene is undoubtedly the warmest and the most cruel, for those who are reunited, the full moon is sending blessings to them, but for the lonely, the full moon seems to laugh at their loneliness.

The moonlight flowed into Murong Yunyao's heart, which could only add more pain and helplessness. She looked at the moon, tears in her eyes, and seemed to see her father who was far away in the sky, and her mother who only stayed in the memory and danqing, and the person she liked who was far away at the border.

"Sister, I'm back."

Yun Zixiao's cold and gentle voice sounded from the palace gate, and Murong Yunyao vaguely saw a white shadow enter the palace gate. Her whole body trembled slightly, and she was about to rush to the palace gate. But then she stopped again, and let out a leisurely sigh, "It must be my hallucination, he won't come back." ”

"Hey! Silly girl, why are you alone here? At this moment, Yun Zixiao's gentle voice had sounded in Murong Yunyao's ears.

Murong Yunyao rubbed her eyes vigorously, and saw a white-robed young man walking slowly towards her in the wind and snow. Qingnian's eyes were full of expressions, and his knife-like facial features looked more and more handsome under the reflection of the moonlight. There was still a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, in this situation, don't say that a person like Murong Yunyao who is just starting to fall in love, even if he is a person with a pure heart and few desires, it is inevitable that his heart will ripple.

"Brother Yun, is it really you?" Murong Yunyao looked at Yun Zixiao in disbelief, jumped up excitedly, and then hooked his neck with both hands, and the whole person was attached to his body, and said affectionately: "Brother Yun, I miss you so much!" Are you here for me? But then her face darkened again, "Brother Yun, now that the border is in chaos, if you don't have the Holy Order, you will be beheaded if you leave your post without the Holy Order, I don't want to hurt you!" ”

Yun Zixiao smiled slightly, and said softly: "Silly sister, what kind of person are you when you are Brother Yun, can you be so thoughtful?" Rest assured! A few days ago, the Holy Lord came to the Daimyo's Mansion, and I have already taken leave with him in person, and I just want to be by your side tonight. ”

Murong Yunyao hugged Yun Zixiao excitedly, and kissed Yun Zixiao's face with hot lips. On a whim of being teased by her, Yun Zixiao clamped her body with both hands, and was about to respond to Murong Yunyao, but was interrupted by a sound of footsteps. Yun Zixiao subconsciously let go of his hand, and when he saw that the person who came was his cousin Zhao Defang, he suddenly felt embarrassed.

Zhao Defang blushed even more in embarrassment, turned around and covered his eyes. kept shouting: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xiao Wang didn't see anything, he really didn't see anything!" As he spoke, he ran back to the Yin'an Palace, and closed the door of the temple.

Murong Yunyao didn't care, giggling and bending over. She smiled at Zhao Defang's back, "Brother Yun, your cousin is so uninteresting, he talks about this surprise all day long, that surprise, I think he likes to be surprised!" ”

Seeing that Murong Yunyao was so happy, Yun Zixiao also smiled slightly, took Murong Yunyao's hand, and asked softly: "Sister, today is the Shangyuan Festival, the people will hang lamps and pray for blessings, the city must be very lively, you love to be lively so much, how can you go out for a walk?" ”

Murong Yunyao said with a smile: "Brother Yun, if it weren't for the fact that I missed you and disturbed my mood, people would have gone out a long time ago!" Don't stay alone in the house and listen to your cousin's strange tunes! ”

Yun Zixiao smiled, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, and said, "Oh, it turns out that my sister is waiting for me?" Now that I'm back, why don't you go out on the street to enjoy the lanterns together? ”

"Of course!" Murong Yunyao smiled and held Yun Zixiao's hand, pulled him out of the palace happily, and went straight to Bianhe Street, the most lively street in the city.
