Datang, Liquan Mansion.

In the center of a vast plain, the Nine Mountains stretch out in all directions.

The mountain is majestic, there is an imperial atmosphere, and it should be the emperor's yin house!

At the foot of the mountain, the sound of tinkling bells is endless.

The construction of the imperial mausoleum has always been laborious and laborious, often requiring tens of thousands of laborers to be built for several years in a row before it can be completed.

Li Shimin's imperial mausoleum has taken a long time to build, and at this pace, it may not be completed in ten years.

This is not because Li Er is extravagant and wasteful, he wants to make the house he lives in after his death extremely luxurious, surpassing the emperors of previous dynasties.

On the contrary, he cherishes the power of the people.

When an ordinary emperor launched 100,000 conscripts to repair the mausoleum, he halved it and built it with 50,000 people.

Ordinary emperors repairing the emperor's mausoleum occupy a large part of the financial revenue, but he tries to reduce this expenditure as much as possible and try not to affect the operation of the imperial court.

In Li Shimin's view, Datang is now in a period of rapid development, and every copper coin can soon become two, three, five!

At this time, letting the money be used for people's livelihood as much as possible can obviously make Datang more prosperous.

As for the grave?

Fix it slowly! Anyway, he shouldn't die so early, just finish it before he dies, how big is it?

As a result, progress is slow.

……

At the foot of the mountain, in a simple wooden house.

"Godfather, it's time for breakfast!"

Wu Erya carried a bowl of hot wheat porridge and sent it to Xu Fenglei.

Xu Fenglei had just gotten up not long at the moment, and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

The bed was a mess with several books scattered about.

He just fell asleep yesterday while reading a book.

"Ha ......"

"Erya, you're so early today."

Xu Fenglei stretched his waist and said,

"I'm up late now, you don't have to get me breakfast, I'll eat lunch directly!"

"How nice is it that you can save a meal?"

Wu Erya wrinkled her nose.

"Godfather, you're too lazy!"

She crossed her waist and said,

"Three meals a day, no one is missing! You don't even bother to eat now. ”

"Get up! Get up, get up, get up! ”

"You're going to break your body if you lie in bed like this!"

As he spoke, Wu Erya had already pounced on Xu Fenglei's bed, picked up the book and slapped him on the ass.

Smack!

"Ouch! Erya, are you really here? ”

Xu Fenglei covered his ass with a scream of pain and shouted,

"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you, get up!"

"You're really...... I don't have anything to do when I get up, do I? Those craftsmen are very well-behaved, and no one dares to cheat. ”

Muttering in his mouth, he got up slowly and made it to the table.

Now my own life, it is really as idle as you want.

It's basically like being exiled.

The only thing that is better than exile is that Jiuzhi Mountain is still in Shaanxi after all, and he is still adaptable to the climate and environment.

"Then you have to get up early, don't you want to practice?"

Wu Erya picked up the chopsticks and took a sip of porridge, saying,

"This kind of place is very conducive to cultivation!"

"Godfather, you said you want to practice, it shouldn't be nonsense, right?"

Xu Fenglei: "......"

He was speechless for a moment, and took a sip of porridge.

"Eat breakfast, eat breakfast, children's families, don't always ask about adults."

Wu Erya snorted lightly, looking a little proud.

She just likes choking on her godfather, which gives her a sense of accomplishment.

Woohoo.

Xu Fenglei drank the porridge and said suddenly:

"Erya, it's boring for you to follow me, right?"

"You have to do laundry and cook for me every day, there's no fun here, I see that you are often in a daze."

"Aren't you bored? If you're bored, I'll arrange for someone to send you back, and save yourself from suffering in such a place." ”

He meant what he said.

Jiuzhi Mountain may be boring for him, but for Wu Erya, it is a kind of destruction.

A young girl in the flower season should enjoy the liveliness and prosperity in Chang'an City, and should not suffer in such a place where birds don't.

"It's not boring."

Wu Erya finished the porridge in three clicks, wiped his mouth and said,

"At least for now, I still find it interesting."

"Yesterday I went to the mountains to pick fruits, and I came across a lot of beautiful mushrooms, and I picked a few of them, can you see if you can eat them?"

With that, she got up and ran out of the house.

After a while, a basket of mushrooms was placed in front of Xu Fenglei.

"This red mushroom is very beautiful!"

"It should be delicious!"

Wu Erya was picking and choosing, and seemed to be very interested.

Xu Fenglei glanced at it, almost not holding back,

"Ahem! Erya, you have touched the mushroom with this hand, don't put it in your mouth and wipe your eyes, otherwise you will be poisoned! It's a poisonous mushroom! ”、

He hurriedly said,

"Listen to my godfather, remember a mantra—"

"Red umbrella umbrella, white pole pole, lie down together after eating."

"This red umbrella and white pole is highly poisonous, and if you eat it, you will die! There is no cure! ”

"Huh?!" Wu Erya was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly took her hand back, pinched her palm, and didn't know where to put it!

"Go wash it."

Xu Fenglei said with a smile,

"It's okay to wash it, don't pick mushrooms in the future, good-looking mushrooms are poisonous."

"You, don't run around the mountains, it's dangerous! If you encounter a wild beast, you with thin arms and legs will not be stuffed between your teeth! ”

"Did you hear that? From today onwards, read books at home honestly. ”

Wu Erya pouted.

"Alright then......"

"But reading is very boring, I understand those classics after reading them once, and they don't give me the feeling of reading them often."

"Don't go out and play...... That's boring! ”

She has a lively nature and loves to go outside.

As for the danger?

What are the dangers? She, Wu Erya, has never been afraid of danger!

"Yes...... Your perception is so high, you can just look at something, so naturally you are too lazy to look at it. ”

Xu Fenglei spread his hands and said,

"That's why I said, tell you to go back to Chang'an."

"Back in Chang'an, you can continue to go to school, with a group of playmates of the same age, as well as parents and elders, how nice?"

"Staying in this barren land with my godfather is really wronged by our girl."

Again, he admonished.

However, Wu Erya didn't buy it.

"That's not good, if I go back, who will take care of your sloppy father?"

Wu Erya raised his head and said,

"I'm here to serve you, you're like this, if I'm gone, then you won't be a savage?"

"I can't rest assured of you, all ...... If you are bored, you will be bored, and if you really can't stay any longer, I will tell you! ”

"When did I be polite with you? If you really want to go, then I'll pat my ass and leave! ”

Xu Fenglei laughed.

The relationship between him and Wu Erya has long been extremely close.

Even more cordial than his apprentices and Cheng Qian, Li Qian.

Xu Fenglei really treats Wu Erya as his daughter, and Wu Erya also treats Xu Fenglei as his father.

Therefore, you never have to be polite when you speak with your hands, you can say whatever comes to mind, and you will not have reservations.

"Okay! You're really a godfather's little padded jacket...... I didn't expect that before I got married, I could have a small padded jacket, which is really a blessing in life! ”

Xu Fenglei pinched Wu Erya's face, and said with a smile,

"Don't worry, I'll find something for you to do, and I won't let you get really bored!"

"Then you'd better give me something difficult and challenging." Wu Erya nodded and said proudly.

Xu Fenglei rubbed her head.

The two were talking, but they heard the neighing of war horses outside the house!

"Phew!"

A loud voice came, fell into Xu Fenglei's ears, and immediately attracted his attention.

This voice is a little familiar!

"Let's go, let's see."

Xu Fenglei wiped his mouth, got up and walked out of the wooden house.

And at this moment, a whirlwind rushed up!

Before Xu Fenglei could react, the figure had already bumped into him, and he gave a hug!

"Big brother!"

"Finally seeing you, I miss you!"

Xue Rengui hugged his eldest brother, tears suddenly appeared in the corners of his eyes, and at this moment he was excited like a three-hundred-pound child!

Xu Fenglei: "?! ”

"Huh? Rengui?! ”

He heard this familiar voice and was surprised,

"Why did you kid get here?"

"Okay, okay, let go of me first, my neck is about to be broken by you!"

This stinky boy has infinite strength, and if he is hugged by him, even if he is a New Year's pig, he can't break free!

"Uh-uh...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, big brother, it's me who is so excited! ”

Xue Rengui also reacted quickly, hurriedly let go of his arm, scratched his head, and was slightly embarrassed.

"It's Second Uncle Xue!"

"And this ...... This is ...... From the palace? ”

Wu Erya greeted him generously, and looked behind him again.

Behind Xue Rengui, there was also a person.

"Huh?"

Xu Fenglei also noticed the man, and said in surprise,

"It's Grandpa Gao! Why did you come to Jiuzhi Mountain? ”

The person who came was wearing a purple robe, and it was the eunuch Gao Gonggong!

"Your Majesty misses you, and the slave maid naturally wants to come to convey Your Majesty's thoughts."

"It just so happens that Captain Xue also came to Jiuzhi Mountain, and the slave and maid happened to come with him."

Gao Gonggong turned over and dismounted, and bowed with a smile.

"Master, don't come unharmed."

Xu Fenglei's smile narrowed slightly.

"Don't come unharmed."

"Erya, go take out the tea leaves at home and make tea!"

He commanded Wu Erya.

Wu Erya was about to enter the door, but saw Gonggong Gao shaking his head.

"Don't dare to disturb the master, the slave has a letter written by His Majesty here, please accept it."

Gao Gonggong took out a letter from his arms, presented it with both hands, and then said earnestly,

"Taishi, Your Majesty is sincere to you, and he sincerely hopes that you can go back."

"This Jiuzhi Mountain is not a good place to go after all, how can a noble person like you stay in such a place?"

"I hope you return to Chang'an as soon as possible, not only Your Majesty is looking forward to you, but also many of your colleagues and friends, as well as Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Princess Changle, are also looking forward to your return......

Xu Fenglei took the letter, his expression slightly touched.

To say that Li Shimin wanted him to go back, he didn't feel anything.

But colleagues and old friends, as well as Chengqian Liqian, they ...... I really miss this in my heart.

"Thank you, Grandpa Gao for your hard work."

Xu Fenglei pleased,

"I don't have any money in my hand, if you don't dislike it, go into the house and have a cup of tea?"

Grandpa Gao smiled and waved his hand.

"No, Taishi, the slave and maid still have something, so I won't bother."

"Your Majesty's letter, you have to take a good look at it, he has been writing it for a long time...... The slave took her leave. ”

After that, he had already turned on his horse, raised his whip, and rode away.

When he came to this kind of wilderness on a business trip, he didn't want to stay longer for a moment, he just wanted to go back to the palace!

Besides, with his identity, he is not qualified to drink tea and chat with Xu Fenglei, and those who are slaves and servants must be conscious, and in front of the real superiors, they must correct their posture.

Dada! Dada!

The sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away, and Xu Fenglei held the letter in his hand, but he was not in a hurry to open it.

"Go Rengui, we haven't seen each other for a few days."

"Drink tea inside, let's chat, and by the way, I will ask you a little about Chang'an...... There's a little bit of a bad thing here, the message is blocked, and you can't receive any information......"

He hugged Xue Rengui and entered the wooden house.

Wu Erya brought two cups of hot tea.

"Big brother, I want to ...... Let's take a look at the letter from your majesty first."

Xue Rengui took a sip of tea and said,

"After all, it was written by His Majesty himself, look at the first ......"

"Let's chat, let's not be in a hurry, if you want to talk, I can always be with you."

Xu Fenglei was silent.

He didn't object, and gently opened the envelope.

Crash.

The letter spreads.

"Listen, you are in Jiuzhi Mountain, are you doing well? I...... Something misses you. ”

"Some things are like this, some people don't feel it when they're around, but if he's gone, your heart will become empty, as if a piece is missing, and I feel that way now...... A piece of my heart is missing. ”

"That piece is you."

Wu Erya rubbed his arms.

"Hey—it's so meaty!"

"Is this really written by His Majesty to his godfather? Can a man's letter to a man be so sensual? ”

She hissed, giving goosebumps for a while.

Xue Rengui also wanted to see it, but he finally suppressed his curiosity and didn't turn his head away.

It is offensive to peek at someone's letter without permission...... He couldn't do that.

As for why Wu Erya can ...... They are father and daughter, and they are different.

"Your Majesty is like this, very emotional."

The corners of Xu Fenglei's mouth rose slightly, and said,

"If ordinary ministers read this, they must be moved to death."

"But, your godfather doesn't eat this."

is a human being in two lives, and his concentration is still enough, and he will not be moved to death because the emperor said a few words of flesh.

He continued to look down:

"About the queen, I blame you for my mistake, and I apologize to you......"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, can you forgive me for being reckless? The situation at that time was really because the queen was in danger, and I lost my mind for a while, so I would do such a thing......"

"Of course, I'm not looking for a reason to shirk, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, please forgive me!"
