451, Pingshui meets

Suddenly, Nadu panicked, hurriedly knelt down and said, "The villain is offended, please forgive the adult." ”

"Not necessarily! Please! ”

"Thank you, sir!"

"I don't know what county you are?"

"Back to my lord! The villain's surname is Cai, his name is Wencheng, and he is the county government of Heyin County! ”

"Hmmm! As a county magistrate, you are quick to catch and loyal to your duties, which is very commendable. But I would like to warn you, in all things, see what you see, and do not believe the slander of villains. ”

"Yes! Be! Thank you for the teachings of the adults, and the villains will definitely remember it. ”

"I'll tell you the truth! My surname is yes, my name is harmless, I happened to pass here today, the road was uneven, and I drew my sword to help. …… This is Miss Yuan, whose parents have been murdered by robbers. I was so angry that I slew some of the robbers, but they were innocent of death, and I had the privilege of being cut first and then played by the Son of Heaven. ”

"Lord Yah is right, the traitor and murderer deserve to pay for his life. Lord Ye is chivalrous and righteous, and it is not too much to kill a few more robbers against him; Besides, Lord Ye has the Son of Heaven Gold Medal in hand, and he is ordered by heaven to pass, and everything has the power of cutting first and then not playing. Cai was also impulsive, listened to the villain's words, and almost caught someone by mistake, and was deeply ashamed. If you are useful, but please command. ”

"Good! Cai catches quickly, Ye has this intention. Please clean up the battlefield with your men, and help me bury Miss Yuan's parents properly. ”

"Yes!"

So, with the assistance of Cai Zhukuai and other officials, Ye Wuwu and Yuan Xiaomei separated the bodies of the Yuan family and the robbers, bought two more coffins, and buried Yuan Xiaomei's parents on the bank of the Yellow River.

"Miss Yuan!" I saw Ye harmless looking at Yuan Xiaomei, who was silent and kneeling in front of her parents' graves, and said, "It's not early, we should go on the road." ”

However, Yuan Xiaomei did not respond immediately. After a pause, she said silently, "Brother yes! Thank you for your kindness, I don't think I'm going to Jiangning, I want to go back to my hometown in Hexi. ”

"What? ......" Ye harmless didn't expect her to come up with such a sentence for a long time, and said in surprise: "Go back to your hometown?" But your parents are dead, and the house is sold, how will you live when you go back? ”

"I don't know! ……”

"The only way is to go to Nanjiang to find your uncle, and I believe that he will take good care of your future life." Ye Wuwu seemed to have seen Yuan Xiaomei's worries, and asked directly, "Why don't you speak?" You're afraid of injuring me, aren't you? How could you think that! I have said and done it; And this thousand-mile southern tour, I already have a patrol mission, and I can also pass through my hometown Xuzhou, and send you all the way to Jiangning by the way, how can it affect me? You can rest assured! ”

"Really? ......" Yuan Xiaomei couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Ye harmless.

"That's right. Don't think about it so much and follow me on my way. ”

"Whoa! ......" Yuan Xiaomei replied softly, glanced deeply at the joint burial tomb of her parents, and silently stood up on the ground.

So, Ye Wuwu helped Yuan Xiaomei into the saddle, took the reins and walked away......

Gradually, a black horse, carrying a woman in white, was escorted by a swordsman in blue, and was insignificant on the bank of the Yellow River.

"Master Fashen, I have already been rewarded, your beloved disciple Murong Tianshui, that is, Wu Zhuangyuan Ye is harmless, is traveling south alone, and it is a good time to start. Last time, the devil's two guns failed to kill him; This time, I wonder if you will do it, or will I do it? ”

"What do you say? Do you still need me to do it myself? ”

"Master Fashen, please don't be surprised! You've told me before that you're keeping this apprentice for your own use, and you haven't revealed to him who we really are or what we do. However, since I fought with Uncle Lang Demon and Ye Wuwu and others in the bloody battle against Anling, I think he has everything about us. What's more, you are in Xianyang Qiaotou and have killed so many Taibao, I believe he will never recognize you as a master again. Whether this apprentice of yours has or not, and how you use it, master, is not up to you? How dare I, an apprentice, be the master? ”

"Humph! He dared to hide his true identity from me, so what was the use of keeping him? He is now a government minister, and he wants to deal with us with Ouchi Taipo? Delusion! …… Chase along the way! I don't believe he could escape my clutches alone? ”

Luoyang. It used to be the second most prosperous city in the Central Plains, and it was named after the "Yang Name" because it was located in the north of Luoshui. All dynasties and dynasties have been branded with indelible marks on it. Whether it is the capital, the divine capital, the eastern capital, the western capital, or the accompanying capital, they have all walked brilliantly on it and even trampled on it. It should be said that Luoyang City is the central hub of politics, economy, culture, military and transportation in the Central Plains. It was once the capital of several dynasties, but once the dynasty changed, it was "the capital of the old dynasty that will be destroyed". It is conceivable how many times she has experienced the baptism (ceremony) and torture of historical wars, and how many times the long river of history has made her rise and fall! It's no wonder that some people call "Luoyang!" Sunset! "The place where the sun sets" seems to mean "the place where the old dynasty sinks". It can be seen that Luoyang, a city with several springs, autumns and cold summers, is enough to condense the history of the rise and fall of China in the Central Plains. In the eyes of people with lofty ideals in the world, in this chaotic world, how they hope that it can survive this difficult time too peacefully.

At this time, Ye was harmless, holding Yuan Xiaomei on the horse, staring at the ancient city of Luoyang that he had passed by several times, and he had the heart to break the silence at this time, and said to Yuan Xiaomei: "Miss Yuan, have you been to this city before?" ”

"I've been here before, but I can't remember it clearly."

"Then you must have come here when you were young. But now, it's very different. Do you say yes? ”

"Yes, somewhat. ……”

"I'll tell you the story of this Luoyang City, so that you don't feel upset."

Hearing Ye's harmless kindness, Yuan Xiaomei had an indescribable gratitude in her heart, so she nodded silently on the saddle.

So, Ye said thoughtfully: "There are too many stories in Luoyang, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pour them out in a lifetime." Someone once said, 'Luoyang, the setting sun, is the place where the sun sets.' Actually, this is not without reason. ”

"Really? How does that make sense? Yuan Xiaomei really couldn't help but ask him questions.

"Because of this Luoyang City, there used to be several degrees of spring and autumn, and several degrees of sunset red. It is the sunset that reflects its story. Far away in the Zhou Dynasty, Jiuding, a symbol of royal power, stayed in Luoyi; The first king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Ping, founded the eastern capital Luoyi, and the king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Ji 匄 (gài), moved the capital here, and it became the royal city of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty; Liu Bang of the Western Han Dynasty ascended the throne, the first capital was Luoyang, and later moved to Chang'an. After a decline, Liu Xiu restored the Eastern Han Dynasty and set the capital Luoyang; Later, Cao Cao's son Cao Pi became the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and his capital was also set here; There are also Western Jin Dynasty and Northern Wei Dynasty, as well as the relocation of the capital of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty and Tang Wu Zetian Great Zhou Dynasty, all of which take Luoyang as their capital. Not only that, the rise and fall of Luoyang City has also served as the capital of Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty, and now the Great Liang State and the Jin Kingdom. These dynasties can be described as the time when Luoyang City was extremely yellow. However, since ancient times, the change of dynasties has had the quirk of 'dying the old dynasty will destroy its capital', so Luoyang City has also been branded by the wind and frost of the war, and it is still scarred. ”

Yuan Xiaomei listened to Ye Wuwu's narration again and again, and couldn't help but be silent and cheerful in her heart, understanding the meaning of his words. However, she didn't say anything and continued to listen to Ye Gongzi's story.

"Thinking about it, this is the fourth time I've passed through Luoyang. Although the interval is short, it is very different every time. And it also generates a variety of emotions. What the predecessors said was really good, 'Luoyang relatives and friends asked each other, and a piece of ice heart was in the jade pot. Every time I walk through here, I feel an indescribable chill in my heart. I always feel that Luoyang City in this troubled world is already 'three feet frozen, not a day's cold.' I wonder what kind of mood Miss Yuan is in now? ”

Yuan Xiaomei heard Ye Gongzi ask her, why didn't she say anything again? Out of politeness, she replied in a low voice: "With Ye Gongzi by my side to tell me stories, even if it is cold, I feel infinitely warm!" ”

Hearing Yuan Xiaomei say what was in her heart, Ye Wuwu finally felt that he could pull out the floodgates of her feelings and gradually drive away the sadness and worries in her heart. Immediately, he smiled and glanced at Miss Yuan on the saddle and said, "Miss Yuan, if I call you Xiaomei, can I?" ”

"Absolutely. That's my name. ”

"You still don't know me well. Because every time I say the word Xiaomei, I can't help but think of my former best friend Shi Xiaomei. She looks as beautiful as you, and she is very similar to you in terms of face and body. ”

Yuan Xiaomei looked at Ye Gongzi's slightly melancholy expression, as a woman at the beginning of her prime, she could already see and understand his mood at this time. Because women are delicate and are the best at observing and perceiving men. With her intelligence, Yuan Xiaomei could already think that Ye Gongzi had suffered emotional trauma, so he confessed to her like this. She really didn't expect that such a heroic and chivalrous young man would still have a time when he was tired of love. For the past few days, he has been by her side to comfort her and protect her, as if he is a kind and generous man, where can you see that this carefree son still hides lost feelings in his heart. But I wonder how deep and long the wound in his soul is? …… A kind of woman's love arises spontaneously from the bottom of Yuan Xiaomei's heart-

"And how is she now?" Yuan Xiaomei asked with concern.

"Now...... "yes looked ahead in thought, "she's gone now, and may never come back." ”
