Chapter 63: Hurry
The two hurriedly said goodbye to the people of Wosong Dao and left Yunyinguan, and this trip was not worth it.
Li Chouxin took out the whole array of rivers in his arms, and recalled the transcendent Wosong Dao man, and consciously admired such a life, but recalled his seven or eight confidants in the world, so he had to laugh.
The two returned to Yushui City again, and it was getting late, and the refugees had just drunk porridge and were talking to each other.
Seeing the figures of Du Jin and Li Chouxin, the refugees quickly gathered together again and thanked the two again.
Li Chouxin and Du Jin were surrounded by refugees and couldn't walk an inch, constantly responding to the grateful refugees around them.
Just when the two were in a dilemma, Assassin Shi Sima Jun came out of the city with a team of people, and there was another person by his side, Li Chou looked at it intently.
The person who came was none other than Zheng Yi, the eunuch beside the emperor.
Zheng Yi was holding a holy decree in his hand and was walking towards Li Chouxin.
"The holy decree has arrived, Li Chouxin and Du Jin have received the decree!"
Du Jin and Li Chou knelt down towards the comers, and the refugees also knelt down.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Li Chou heart is high, love the people like a son, do not hesitate to exchange the throne for food and clothing for the people, I am very pleased, so I rejected Li Aiqing's play, the throne of the prince will never be abolished, and the imperial court has allocated disaster relief funds to help the reconstruction of the disaster area, and the victims can go home in a few days.
Li Chouxin took the holy decree and immediately got up.
Eunuch Zheng walked up to Li Chou and said: "Lord, the emperor has specially explained, don't hand over the emperor's gift at every turn, this prince's position will always be reserved for you, so don't make the emperor embarrassed." The emperor also said that no matter where the prince is in the future, he will be gracious if he plays. ”
After Eunuch Zheng finished speaking, he took out a royal token from his bosom and said: "Prince, this is what the emperor specially asked me to transfer to the prince when the old slave left. ”
Li Chouxin took the token, which made Yushui Thorn Shi Sima Ke envious, fortunately, he didn't make it difficult for the new prince in front of him, otherwise there were a few heads that were not enough to cut off, so he stepped forward and said: "Congratulations to the prince!" With the token, it will be easier for the prince to do things for the people in the future. ”
Looking at Sima Jun's flattering face, Li Chou said: "Lord Assassin Shi said that he laughed, even if he didn't have this token, the road would be uneven, and I would draw my sword to help." ”
"Yes, yes, yes! What the prince said is. ”
"Gonggong Zheng, did the emperor consider the other thing that he said sadly?" Li Chou asked in his heart.
Li Chou asked like this, and the eunuch Zheng suddenly woke up and said: "Thanks to the prince's reminder, the old slave almost forgot about this matter because he only cared about paying attention to the prince. ”
"You old thing, don't sell it, just say it." Li Chou said.
"According to the emperor's command, Du Jin will enter the palace with this governor to face the saint, and His Majesty has his own holy judgment!"
When Du Jin heard this, he felt as if he was in a dream, and he couldn't believe it.
"Du Gongzi? Du Gongzi? Don't thank you yet! Zheng Yi reminded.
Du Jin came to his senses and hurriedly thanked him.
"Du Gongzi, let's clean up tonight, let's leave for the palace tomorrow to meet the saint." Zheng Yidao.
Li Chouxin looked at Du Jin's overwhelmed appearance, stepped forward and patted Du Jin's shoulder and said: "Brother Du Jin, I can't hide it, I recommended you to the emperor below, I see that Brother Du Jin cares about the people's livelihood and has talent and insight, it's a pity not to be an official, so he recommended Brother Du on his own initiative, and a talent like Brother Du really shouldn't be buried." ”
Du Jin then understood, and said: "Brother Sorrowful, I, Du Jin, have failed many times, and I am almost disheartened, I didn't expect that there would be such a creation today, I am really grateful." ”
Li Chouxin smiled and said: "What is this, I don't believe you ask these people, are they willing to let you be a parent official, not to mention that I, Li Chouxin, am not a blind person, I see all this." ”
As soon as Li Chouxin's words fell, the surrounding refugees shouted: "The prince is right, we need someone like Master Du to be a parent official." ”
Looking at the scene in front of him, Du Jin gradually wet his eyes, and said to everyone: "I, Du Jin, swear in front of you today, if Du Jin can achieve something, he will definitely dedicate his life to the people of the world. ”
At this time, a little girl ran over and knelt in front of Du Jin.
"Brother Du Jin, can you talk to the emperor when you go to the palace, come to our Xihe County to be an official, as long as you are here, everyone will definitely be able to live a good life."
Du Jin looked at the little girl and sighed in his heart.
At this moment, the surrounding refugees also knelt on the ground and shouted towards Du Jin: "Lord Du, if you have the opportunity, go to Xihe County to be an official, we need you!" ”
This voice resounded outside Yushui City, Zheng Yi and Sima on the side had never seen such an amazing situation for many years, and Li Chou was also full of relief, after all, he didn't see the wrong person after all.
Du Jin also said loudly at this time: "If you are lucky, Du Jin is willing!" ”
After a touching exchange, everyone gradually calmed down, and Du Jin, Li Chouxin and others also entered Yushui City under the escort of everyone.
"Brother Du Jin, tomorrow is the day of separation, Miss Luo Lan has a soft spot for you, you have to explain it well."
Du Jin listened to Li Chouxin's words, and then remembered that Luo Lan was waiting at the inn, and he didn't have a reason for a while, and he didn't know how to talk to Luo Lan about it.
"Brother Worried, I don't know what you have to say, just help my brother!"
Li Chouxin looked at Du Jinmune's appearance, a little funny, and said: "Don't worry, Brother Du, this Luolan girl is not a person who messes around, just tell her directly, she will understand, maybe you can gain something." ”
When Li Chouxin said this, Du Jin also reacted, so he decided to tell the truth. The two of them had already arrived at the Luolanxuan Inn while talking and laughing, and several girls at this time were also looking at the door in the direction of the city gate.
Seeing the two returning, several girls ran out of the door and greeted them.
"You're back, if you don't come back, Miss Loland will go looking for you, it's been a day." Qin Yin said.
At this time, Luo Lan, who was preparing wine and food, heard that Du Jin was back, and also put down the wine jug in his hand and hurriedly walked out.
The two looked at each other, had something to say in their hearts, but didn't know how to open an account.
"It's good to be back, it's been a day, I guess you're hungry, go in and get something to eat, Miss Lorraine has been preparing for the day." Sermon said.
Li Chouxin and Du Jin got off the horse, followed a few girls into the inn, and sat down at the sumptuous table, Luo Lan said while pouring wine: "Du Gongzi, what do you gain from today's trip?" ”
When Du Jin heard this, he took out the jade Jue given by the people of Wosong Dao, and told all the things in it, and several girls heard it in a fog, and they didn't know whether it was true or false, so they just nodded again and again.
"Where is the cloud hidden view?" Si Yao asked.
Li Chouxin interrupted Du Jin, who was about to speak, and said: "This immortal land has no fixed place, and you can only see it if you have fate." ”
Du Jin also hurriedly said: "That's right, what Brother Sorrow said is right, the Wosong Daoist said that Yunyinguan is just a speck of dust between heaven and earth, floating freely, and it is definitely not where we are going." ”
Zhang Xiaopan complained on the side: "Master, you didn't take me to such a fun place, it really doesn't look like Master at all." ”
"Xiao Pan, if your master knew that there would be such an adventure, he would definitely take you there, don't you complain, don't you go too?" Qin Yin said.
"Since the master has said so, then Xiao Pan is not angry, Master, tell us what else is interesting." Zhang Xiaopan continued.
Li Chou thought for a while and replied: "It's nothing else, it's just that I was thanked by the refugees outside the city and met someone from the palace to deal with the refugees. ”
Everyone turned their eyes to Du Jin again, and everyone was full of curiosity.
Du Jin also knew that this matter would have to be said sooner or later, so he also drank a glass of wine and said, "Everyone, we will be separated tomorrow." ”
As soon as Du Jin said this, the first person who was surprised was Luo Lan.
Loren asked hesitantly, "Respectively?" Why is it so rushed? ”
Du Jin looked at Luo Lan's eyes and said: "It is precisely because of the matter of the refugees that the worried brother wrote to the court, and the court issued a decree to solve the matter of the refugees, but there was also an edict from the saint that I would follow Gonggong Zheng into Beijing tomorrow to face the saint." ”
Hearing this, Luo Lan's doubts gradually faded and said, "Enter the palace to face the saint? Then it seems that Du Gongzi should be able to meet his expectations, you must know that His Majesty will not easily summon people into the palace to face the saint. ”
"That's right, Brother Du Jin will definitely join the government when he goes, but it depends on how Brother Du chooses." Li Chouxin also said.
"Choice? This has not gone to think of these things? Seyu asked.
Li Chouxin looked at everyone and slowly explained: "That's right, Brother Du Jin was recommended by me, and it is inevitable to be an official, but it depends on Brother Du where he is an official, whether he is in the capital or back to the state and county is all up to Brother Du's thoughts, but I believe that with my brother as a person, no matter where he is, he is a good official who worries about the country and the people." ”
But Du Jin said: "All this is the credit of Brother Sorrow, it can be said that I am Du Jin's nobleman, if what Brother Sorrow said is true, Du Jin has promised the refugees outside the city that he will rebuild his hometown with them, since he said it, he must do it." ”
Li Chouxin asked at this time: "It seems that Brother Du is really hard-hearted, have you ever thought about what Miss Luolan should do?" ”
Li Chouxin's question stumped Du Jin, although he had expressed his heart to the poem before, but there was no substantial progress between the two, and he didn't know how to say some words, Du Jin fell silent.
Seeing Du Jin's embarrassment, Luo Lan said: "It's nothing, the little woman is alone, she lives on this inn, she goes the same anywhere, it's just a change of place to make a living." ”
Qin Yin Seyu and the others looked at Luo Lan's infatuated appearance, and remembered the past when they followed Li Chouxin, but they were not so complaining and regretless, so Se Yu said: "I said Brother Du, this Luo Lan girl has said it so clearly, why are you still not moving at all, are you waiting for something?" ”
Du Jin smiled awkwardly and said: "I know that Miss Luolan is deeply affectionate, but if this is really as the sad brother said, Du will go to Xihe County, and then rebuild the home with the victims, life is very tiring, if you go with me, wouldn't it be a bitter girl, so Du doesn't know where to start." ”
When Luo Lan heard Du Jin's words, she was also happy in her heart, and said: "Since Du Gongzi has this intention, then Luo Lan is not afraid of hardship, you must know that it is not only to help refugees rebuild their homes, but also to build our homes." After Luo Lan finished speaking, her face flushed, but her eyes were always fixed on Du Jin.
Du Jin also looked at Luo Lan affectionately, and the two looked at each other silently without words, but their hearts were already surging.
Li Chouxin said at this time: "Since this is the case, then I will congratulate the two of you in advance, but this time I say goodbye, I don't know when I will see you again, why don't we drink this cup together, how about drinking the wedding wine of the two in advance?" ”
Qin Yin Seyu and Si Yao and the others also began to coax when they heard this, pulling Luo Lan to drink the happy wine, and everyone's faces were filled with satisfied smiles, and thousands of words were condensed into bursts of real laughter at this moment.
Several people chatted while drinking, and did not go back to their rooms until late at night.
The next day, Zheng Yi arrived at Luo Lanxuan early in the morning and waited for Du Jin to enter the palace to face the saint.
Under the send-off of everyone, Du Jin walked out of the inn with his burden on his back, and Luo Lan followed beside him.
When he arrived in front of Zheng Yi, Du Jin said: "Gonggong Zheng, please wait a moment and say goodbye to all your friends." ”
When Zheng Yi just wanted to say that time was pressing, Li Chouxin came over, and Zheng Yi immediately changed his attitude and said: "The road is far away, please pay attention to Du Gongzi." ”
"Brother Du Jin, this farewell, it may be difficult to see each other again, there is a fate to get acquainted, and it is not in vain to live this life, I hope you will go, the clouds will go up, and the world will know you." Li Chou said.
Du Jin was also full of emotion: "Brother Sorrowful, although the gathering is fleeting, but the friendship is like the depth of the sea, if there is a fate to see you again, you will definitely be exploring the mountains and seas with Brother Sorrowful, cherish!" ”
Luo Lan also walked over, looked at Du Jin with reluctance in his eyes, and said: "Brother Du, Luo Lan is waiting for you here, if you don't come for a day, I will wait for you for a day, if you don't come for ten years, I will wait for you for ten years, if you don't come in this life, I will still wait for you here." ”
Hearing Luo Lan's affectionate words, Du Jin couldn't help but feel pity and said, "Luo Lan rest assured, the day I Du Jin comes back, it will be the time to marry you." ”
Subsequently, Du Jin and Qinyin and others also said goodbye one by one, and then got on the horse and were about to leave, but suddenly found that they seemed to have forgotten something, so they dismounted again, walked in front of Luo Lan, and said: "There is no basis for the words, this is the life-saving jade Jue given to me by the people of Wosong Dao, and now I ask Miss Luo Lan to accept it, and it can be regarded as putting my life in the hands of the girl." ”
Luo Lan took Yu Jue, already with tears in her eyes.
Du Jin no longer hesitated, turned over his horse, and galloped away with Zheng Yi.
Seeing that Du Jin had gone, Li Chouxin and the others also planned to say goodbye and leave, and headed towards Tianmu Mountain, so they went back to the inn to pack up their things after explaining the situation to Luo Lan.
At noon, Li Chouxin and the others also packed up and went out, but they were stopped by Luo Lan: "Brother Sorrowful, since you want to separate, it's better to eat some wine and leave." I don't know when we'll see each other in the future. ”
Seeing that Luo Lan was enthusiastic, several people also sat down.
"Miss Luolan, if Du Jin Gongzi comes back, what will you do with this inn?" Si Yao asked.
"I plan to sell the inn in the next few days, and I will leave with him when Brother Du Jin comes back."
After listening to Luo Lan's firm answer, Se Yu said: "In case Du Gongzi doesn't come back, wouldn't it be a big loss?" ”
"No, Brother Du won't lie to me." Lorraine remained firm.
"Alright, Seyu, I can't stop you from eating. Don't worry, Miss Luolan, Brother Du Jin's behavior must be what he says, and you will be able to get your wish in a few days. Li Chou said.
So after a few people finished eating, they hurriedly left Luolanxuan and left Yushui City.
Since everyone left, this Luo Lan sold the inn and stayed as a guest, and for the past three days, he has been guarding outside the city gate every day, just to wait for Du Jin to return.
Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, a fast horse flew in the distance, dusty and like an arrow, and the horse was getting closer and closer, and Luo Lan saw that it was Du Jin.
Du Jin came to the city and saw that Luo Lan was waiting for him here, flew off the horse, ran over, and took Luo Lan in his arms, and the emotions of the two were finally released at this moment.
After a period of greetings, Du Jin led the horse with one hand and Luo Lan into the city with the other.
"Miss Luolan, the emperor has agreed to let me go to Xihe County, the original county order was corrupt and bent the law, ignoring the people, and has been investigated and punished, so after I fought hard, the emperor agreed to let me go to Xihe County, but it will hurt you."
"Brother Du, don't say that, if you can't share the hardships with you, how can you share the joys with you, as long as Luo Lan follows Brother Du, she is not afraid of anything."
"And what about your inn?" Du Jin asked again.
"The inn has been sold, and the money is enough for us to go to Hexi to buy another one, and the rest may be able to help a lot of people."
After listening to Luo Lan's words, Du Jin was full of emotion, and he couldn't help but tighten Luo Lan's hand a little tighter.
The two returned to the inn, and Du Jin, who wanted to help Luo Lan pack his things, found that Luo Lan had already packed everything up and was just waiting for him to come back.
Seeing this situation, Du Jin took Luo Lan into his arms again and said in his ear: "Life has you, what more can my husband ask for, I just wronged you." ”
Luo Lan didn't speak, just leaned quietly on Du Jin's arms, feeling Du Jin's beating heart, very satisfied.
After the two snuggled for a long time, they decided to set off for Xihe County immediately, after all, the disaster was urgent, and they could help the people earlier, and they could arrive before dark if they rode horses, so they each rode a horse and left Yushui.
And Li Chouxin and the others have been traveling eastward since they left Yushui, and arrived at a place called Suizhou, and this place is getting closer and closer to Tianmu Mountain.
And they went into the city, and found a place to stay.
