The people behind Yu Wenzhi also showed hesitation, and they all looked at the sharp sword he was holding.

"I implore the prince to put the overall situation first. It's really General Han's words, and he doesn't dare to disobey his humble duties! Fang Zheng fell to his knees and began to kowtow.

The corners of Yu Wenzhi's eyes were red and wanted to drip blood, and after a deathly silence, he threw his sword on the ground with a bang, and immediately closed his eyes and went downstairs, staggering out alone.

When the children who were with him saw this, they put away their swords and followed.

A battle that might see blood has finally been resolved. As soon as Chengping relaxed, the wine rushed up again, and the knife in his hand couldn't hold it, and he slipped down, and the person leaned back, but after all, he was angry, and said: "You have to be careful!" I think this beast is even crazier than I am, and I'm afraid that he can do anything! ”

Pei Xiaoyuan quietly withdrew his gaze from Yu Wenzhi's back, reached out to take the knife, and helped Chengping as well.

"Thank you for your love tonight, and I will send the prince back. Next time, I will make a return to the east, and I implore you to be sure to appreciate your face. He smiled and said to the people around him.

Just after making such a fuss, everyone's original interest was all lost at this moment, and when they heard the words, they all responded and dispersed separately without mentioning it.

This night, Su Yu slept for a long time, and when she woke up, it was already tomorrow morning, and the sky was bright, and even the morning street drums that had sounded failed to alarm her.

She slowly opened her eyes, stared at the top plate above her head that showed mottled mold marks in the morning light, stared for a long time, rolled over from the couch, and cleaned up.

She remembered someone.

The man's name was Wei Yinniang. Her father, Wei Minghui, once served as Prince Jingsheng's chaperone, and was the general of the forbidden army at that time, and the relationship between Su Yu and her originated from the fact that they had a common nursing mother.

Since Su Yu was adopted by Ah Gong at the age of five, for many years, except for the fever three years ago when he was drenched in cold rain for too long, he has been in good health, and he has traveled all over the country with Ah Gong, and he has almost never been sick. But before that, she was still the county lord, or she was taken care of too finely, but she caused all kinds of small problems at every turn, her body was delicate, and A-Niang was very worried, when she was three years old, she heard that the child raised by the Wei family's nursing mother was very strong, and now she was resting, so she took people over, and in this way, Su Yu met Wei Yinniang.

Or fall in love, the first time they met, Su Yu liked Wei Yinniang. She is eight years older than Su Yu, gentle and quiet, Su Yu calls her sister, and she treats Su Yu like a sister. Because Su Yu likes to stick to her, after getting the permission of the Wei family's parents, she often comes to live in the palace. Two years later, when she was older, at the age of thirteen, she was elected as the internal official of the emperor's grandson Li Yan. It was because Su Yu was reluctant to give up on her, Li Yan doted on Su Yu's cousin again, and after discussion, the matter was postponed for half a year, so that Su Yu could get more of her company.

However, no one would have thought that half a year later, chaos came, and Wei Yinniang's entry into the Imperial Grandson's House had to be suspended again.

On the eve of Chang'an's break, Wei Yinniang was also in the Dingwang Mansion.

Soon after the turmoil, King Ding followed Pei Ji and rushed to the northern Central Plains, where the chaos was the most serious at that time, and it was not a remote leader, but he personally sat in the military tent.

As a prince, he was not afraid of death, and his actions greatly encouraged the officers and soldiers at the front. But correspondingly, only Princess Yin's mother and daughter were left in the palace, and the princess was not favored by the queen mother in the palace, so Wei Yinniang took the initiative to live over and accompany the princess and Su Yu.

That night, Guo Zong, the warden of the royal palace, rushed back and Zhao Zhongfang left the palace in a hurry with Su Yu, and Wei Yinniang was also hurriedly sent back to Wei's house.

If you find her, or someone from the Wei family, you may be able to find out more about Zhao Zhongfang.

This day, Suyu found the Fuxing Fang near the palace, with the remaining memories, walked and stopped, searched in the workshop for most of the day, and finally found the mansion in the impression, there is an old willow tree in front of the door.

When he knocked at the door, the porter appeared, looked her up and down, and asked what was the matter.

"Excuse me, is this the Wei Mansion?"

The other party shook his head, "You're looking for the wrong one!" What a guard! My master's surname is Bai! With a flick of his hand, he was going to close the door. Su Yu raised his hand to block: "I'm tired of asking again." I'm here to find an old friend. I remember that the former owner of the house here was surnamed Wei, if he has moved away, do you know where he moved? ”

"How long ago was the owner of the house?"

"About twenty years ago......"

The man sneered: "Twenty years ago? My owner bought this house three years ago, and I heard that three or four owners have changed before. Twenty years ago? It's still the old sage's Jingsheng Dynasty! ”

The porter ignored her and snapped the door shut.

Xu Yu stood silently under the old willow outside the door for a long time, turned to leave, and when he walked to the southeast corner, the air wafted with the smell of burnt food.

In the depths of her childhood memories, the taste of Chang'an, excluding the ubiquitous scent of agarwood, dragon brain, Suhe, and jasmine in the palace and palace, seems to have only this rich burnt fragrance that can penetrate the human belly.

She involuntarily stopped, followed the direction the wind was coming from, turned a few corners, and the pedestrians gradually became less and less.

At the end of an alley, she saw the place of déjà vu.

The low doorway, the yellow clay oven, a dozen or so freshly made neatly stacked flax cakes, and the charcoal piled in the corner. In the afternoon, the guests were sparse, and a leprosy old yellow dog lazily lay on the root of the wall to sleep under the bright spring sun, and on the small pestle for the guests to sit on, leaned on an old woman who took a nap while she was free.

Su Yu stared at the scene. The old yellow dog found the person, whined twice, and woke up the old woman, who hurriedly stood up her withered body, smiled and asked her if she ate the cake, and showed a pair of toothless yellow teeth in her deflated mouth.

She was the former flax cake lady, and the mole on the corner of her lip is still there. It's just that when Su Yu was still Li Yan'er, the flax cake lady had a plump figure, full cheeks, and when she smiled and solicited customers, she would show a beautiful white tooth like a braided shell.

"Xiao Langjun?" Seeing Su Yu looking at herself in a daze, the old woman called again.

"Yes. I'll eat the bread. Su Yu nodded.

The old woman smiled happily and staggered to get bread for her. Suyu sat down and took a bite. The cake that has just come out is still hot, and the oily noodles are crispy, as if it is the kind of taste that Suyu once left in my memory, and it seems to be different anymore.

The rain chewed slowly.

The old woman stood and looked at her, her eyes full of anticipation, and when she took a bite and chewed for a while, she asked in a cautious tone, "What does the guest think of the taste?" ”

"Delicious!" Su Yu swallowed the cake and took another big bite.

The old woman smiled comfortably, staggered over to her old dog, sat back on the small pestle, and sighed softly: "But no one in Chang'an likes the cakes I make anymore." They all went to eat at a bearded girl in the West Market, saying that hers was delicious. If it weren't for some Jingsheng years ago, I knew that my old customers would still be coming, and my cake shop would have been unable to open a long time ago. ”

There was a faint sadness in her cloudy old eyes.

"Why did they come back and think my bread was not tasty? Obviously I am the most famous here, even Ye Zhongli came to eat back then. I remember that there were a lot of people at that time, and it was only in line that it was his turn, but if he came, everyone would get out of the way and tell him to buy first. He also painted a painting for me, and every day people pestered me to sell him the painting. Within a few years, the sky changed, the rebels came to Chang'an, the old sage ran away, I ran with my paintings, I met a group of wanderers on the road, they were really bad, they robbed every person, I saw a woman who refused to give the burden, they cut off her hand, my painting was also robbed, they themselves grabbed and robbed, one person cut off another person's head, the neck shook like a lantern, half fell on the shoulder, blood sprayed all over the ground, but the person still did not die, the painting in his hand was torn and stuffed into his mouth, not to let people get it, then he broke off his breath......"

The old woman's eyes were half-open and half-closed, babbling and talking non-stop, her tone did not fluctuate, and it was as plain as if she was reciting scriptures.

Su Yu listened silently and asked, "Old Eminem, do you know the old owner of the house where Jingsheng Dynasty lives in the southwest corner?" Where have they gone now? The one with an old willow in front of the door. ”

The old woman thought about it for a while, and just when Su Yu thought she had forgotten, she suddenly "babbled".

"I remember, that family is surnamed Wei, at that time, I remember that the little county lord of Dingwangfu also often came to Wei's house......"

The old woman suddenly lowered her voice, and a mysterious expression appeared on her face.

"Xiao Langjun is from out of town, right? I tell you, King Ding is the saint of today! I heard some old guests say that the little county lord was lost when he was in turmoil, and the saint couldn't find it later. ”

"By the way, at that time, the little lord liked to eat my cake the most! Really, I'm not saying anything big to you, it's true! ”

When she said this, the old woman's thin body seemed to be filled with an endless stream of living water, and the whole person instantly became energetic, and her eyes also radiated a strange brilliance.

"It's true!" She looked at the rain and stressed vigorously again.

"The little county lord often comes to find the little lady of the Wei family, and every time he comes, he has to eat my bread. The little lady of the Wei family will also come to buy it alone, and tell me to sprinkle more flax, and every time at this time, I know that she is going to see the little county lord. I always say that let the little princess eat it himself, and the freshly baked ones are the best. ”

"Alas......"

The old woman withdrew from the memory of the past and let out a long sigh, the light that briefly burst out of her eyes disappeared.

"Where has the Wei family gone now, do you know?" Su Yu asked softly.

"In the second year after the official army recovered Chang'an, I came back from outside, and I heard that the Wei family participated in the rebellion of Prince Jingsheng, and the men were killed all over the house, and the rest of the dead died, scattered, and the house also changed owners."

The rain froze for a moment.

"What about the little lady of the Wei family? The little lady you are talking about who is often with the little princess? ”

"She...... Naturally, he changed his lowly nationality to the teaching workshop. As for where the people are now, who knows, maybe it's long gone, maybe it went to which lane in Pingkangfang, and maybe the boss is not small, and which businessman took a fancy to buy it to be a concubine...... Who knows......"

The old woman muttered, got up and staggered to the stove, and pressed the ashes with the fire tongs, so that the remaining charcoal could burn longer.

The remaining half of the cake in his hand gradually cooled, becoming hard and astringent. After eating the rain, he set aside the money for the return trip from the surplus money he carried, and there were more than a dozen left, put them on the small pestle next to the old yellow dog, and left quietly.

From morning to night, she kept shuttling through Pingkangfang.

In this square city located between the East City and the Imperial City, there are many mansions of dignitaries and nobles, and there are also a large number of romantic places that make men in the world linger, the latter gathered in the area of the North Gate and the East Hui Sanqu.

There, there are pavilions and high-rise buildings that lead to the cross street in front of the door, and there are also lowly prostitutes who are despised by their fellow practitioners who stick to the north wall.

Suyu asked from house to house, from the Burrow in Beiqu to the spacious Qinglou.

If it is really as the old woman said, Wei Yinniang is in this place now, and her appearance should not change much from back then.

In Su Yu's memories, her face is like a silver plate, a pair of phoenix eyes, and when she laughs, there is a small socket on one side of her lip, which should be a very obvious physiognomy feature. However, after searching for several days, no more than twenty families have been found, and there has been no progress in the search.

It was almost evening, and Su Yu had to end today's futile run and go back to his place.

She returned to the West Market as usual to hitchhike a ride, and while thinking about her thoughts, she crossed the shortcut road and walked along the bank of the river called the Liberation Pond in the workshop.

The pond is connected to the Cao River in the west and south of the city, and boats are constantly carrying various goods on the river, and the shops along the river are lined up. Daily rice charcoal cloth, Kangguo cocoons loved by noble ladies, Ruilong's dipterocarp from Jiaozhi, rare and rare Nanyang pearls, and even Kunlun slaves and Silla maids, which are very popular with wealthy families in Chang'an. You can buy anything good in the world here, as long as you have enough money in your pocket. On a nearby bridge, it is even more congested with people and vehicles at the moment, and it is noisy.

Suddenly, at this time, she heard someone shouting Xiao Langjun, at first she thought it was not calling herself, but she heard it again, the voice was joyful, a little familiar, turned her head, and found that it was the old man from Xishan who had been hitchhiking in the western suburbs when she first came a few days ago.

Nearby, there was a water shop that collected a mountain spring, and a mule cart was parked outside the door, and the coolie was unloading buckets of water down, and it seemed that he should have come here to deliver water.

She immediately went up to greet her, explaining that she hadn't heard it just now.

The old man hurriedly said that it was okay, and arched his hand: "I didn't expect to meet Xiao Langjun here again today!" What a coincidence! Xiao Langjun can settle down? All going well? ”

Su Yu smiled and said that everything was fine, and asked him how he was. The old man said that the mule cart had already been repaired, and he had rested at home for a few days, and his mind was settled, and he came to deliver water again today. After a few words of gossip, he pulled out a child who was shy to hide behind the mule cart and peek out, and ordered to pay tribute to Suyu, saying that it was his grandson, named Chou'er, and that the grandson was sick last time, and there was no one to take care of him at home, so he came out late. In the past few days, my grandson has also recovered from his illness, and he entered the city today and took him with him.

The boy was obedient and immediately came to salute. At this time, a cart of water was moved, and the empty buckets were replaced, and Su Yu knew that his ancestors and grandchildren should have to rush back, and the road was not close, so he was afraid of delaying them, so he said that he had something to do. The old man told her to wait, hurried to the mule cart, and handed over a bag of mountain goods brought from the mountains to be sold here.

Su Yu hurriedly refused.

"It's good that Xiao Langjun doesn't dislike it, and it's not a valuable thing. If you hadn't helped pull the car last time, maybe I would have been hit by myself. I also left you halfway, and I really don't want to go. It's just a little bit of the old man's heart, I implore Xiao Langjun to accept it! ”

The old man insisted on handing it over. Su Yu could only take it, and when he went to set up the car, he hurriedly took out the twenty or thirty coins he was carrying, stuffed them all into the arms of the ugly child, turned around and got into the crowded place, and left quickly.

The ugly child looked down at his clothes, ran to the old man's side, pulled his sleeves, and took out the money in his arms. The old man hurriedly chased after him, but when he raised his eyes, he saw no one anymore, and he didn't know where he lived, so he sighed, so he had to carry the ugly child to the car and drive away with the mule cart.

At this time, a small man who looked like a guy rushed out of a cloakshop on the opposite bank and rushed to the bridge. Somehow, with one foot wearing new shoes and the other barefoot, he was in a hurry and almost hit someone. Those who were pushed away by him all the way scolded him angrily at his back, and he didn't care, he rushed straight to the vicinity of the water shop under the bridge, tiptoeing around, but there were only crowds left in front of him, where was there the shadow that he had just glimpsed across the river and thought it was an acquaintance?

Thinking about it again, it seemed that there was an old man who delivered water, and wanted to ask a few words, turned his head, and saw that the mule cart was also gone, so he hurriedly pulled his legs to chase after him, but the owner of the cloakshop had also arrived, twisted his collar, and shouted to send him to the official.

This little guy is Qingtou.

Three days ago, it was another pilgrimage day.

As usual, hundreds of officials gathered in the courtyard outside the Danfeng Gate before the fifth watch. When the eunuch of Sigongtai came, everyone thought that it would be like the previous court meeting day, the saint still did not come out, and they were all ready to retreat, not wanting the eunuch to announce the saint to the court.

The emperor, who had been in retreat for many days, personally summoned a young man who had just arrived in Chang'an for a few days at the court meeting that day, and named him the general of the Jin Wuzhong army, and announced that Jin Wuwei had set up a new Lu Wu Division, and the person in charge was this young man.

When Pei Xiaoyuan walked into the main hall under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes and thanked the heavens, the hall was silent, and the hundreds of officials present, Taige Zaifu, and Langzhong officials, all had different expressions, but there was one thing, everyone was the same.

That's amazement.

In fact, after the matter of Jin Wuwei's death was settled, many people have slowly recalled, speculating that this matter may have been tacitly approved by the saint, and even, it is very likely that it was instructed by the saint.

But no matter how bold he imagined, he never thought that the saint would make such an appointment after the arrival of this Pei family.

Although General Zhongjun Lang is a real position, and his official rank is not low, but in this place in the capital, it is indeed not special. Among the young heroes who arrived at about the same time as Pei's son, there were several who also received equal official positions.

This position is awarded to the children of the young nobles, not so much for reuse, but for the grace given by the saints, and the honor attribute is stronger.

But the official position of Lu Wusi is different.

This department is unprecedented, although it sounds like a temporary secretary specially set up by the saint for the festival of longevity, but just from its name, you can get a glimpse of the difference.

Lu Wu, the god of Kunlun, the nine divisions of Si Tian and the capital of the emperor.

The emperor named it like this, and it is clear what this means at a glance.

Not to mention, the emperor who has not appeared for a long time is only going to court today for the purpose of summoning a person, which is a great honor.
