"Sister-in-law," he continued.

"I owe you one more thing."

He stopped.

She lifted her eyes and met his. His deep eyes, which are usually almost difficult to see how much emotion there is, are shining at the moment, which makes him look as if he has also become a teenager in an instant.

"Sister-in-law, I haven't asked you for a kiss yet. The first marriage contract was made between my uncle and your father-in-law. The second time, I wronged you. ”

"Ladies are rare, not to mention that if you are like you, you should be a man. Once upon a time it was here that you took what you had given me. When I came back this time, I kept thinking that when I found an opportunity, I would definitely come back to this place and ask you to marry you personally, and make up for what I owed you before, so that you could be my wife again. ”

"Little did I know, tonight was my best chance."

Su Yu suddenly realized that Ah Gong's words to ridicule her tonight were not wrong at all.

I don't know when she started crying. Her eyes were always filled with tears easily.

With tears in her eyes, she saw him staring at her, took a step back, and then, with her arms flat on her chest, bowed solemnly to her, and said:

"My name is Xiao Yuan, my ancestor is from the Pei family in Hedong, the second line, the word Junyan, and the year has been established. Knowing that the Li family has a daughter, a small character concubine, a god muscle and jade bones, and a flower soul and ice heart, I admire it deeply and seek it. ”

The moon is bright in the late spring, and a thousand lights shine on the night.

He raised his arm and pointed to the Weishui that flowed day and night under his feet, never stopping.

"This Sichuan can prove that Xiao Yuanjin made an appointment with a white head and asked you to be my beloved wife and marry together. This statement has been spoken, and it will be heard forever. Even if one day, when I meet and Beidou returns to the south, my heart will not turn and will never change! ”

His words were not hurried, but they were calm and powerful, word by word, and the sound of the water beside him reached Su Yu's ears.

Tears were about to be uncontrollable, swirling in her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, are you willing to be my Pei Xiaoyuan's wife?" His gaze fell on her face and he asked.

When she saw the three five-colored silk ropes wrapped around the brocade letter, she was a little puzzled. This is the method of knotting the knot rope of the marriage book when men and women conclude a marriage, taking the meaning of three lives and five blessings.

She sniffed, ordered him to put on the hairpin he had given her, and as he examined herself, she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. He hooked her chin, lowered his head, and kissed the tears on her cheeks one by one, just as he was about to kiss her lips, she suddenly turned her face, avoided his lips, choked up, and said vaguely: "Lang Jun, I also have a word in my heart." After you come back, no matter how skin-to-skin you and I are, I don't dare to ask more. Why did you change your mind and suddenly be so kind to me? Is it because of the siege of Dache, that you live to die......"

She stopped.

He was silent.

She waited for a moment, suddenly regretted, hurriedly grabbed his hand, and said with a smile: "That's it, you didn't ask me." I'm so glad tonight, truly! ”

He shook his head, took off his coat, laid it on a flat stone on the shore, and sat down with her.

She sat down, put her hands on her lap, and quietly watched the figure standing beside him.

The night wind blew across the river in gusts, sweeping the lanterns, and in the flickering lights, he stood facing the north of the Weishui bank, looking ahead. In the past, in the distance, there is the west of the river and the north abyss.

"Son," he said suddenly.

"After I learned the truth about the Battle of the Northern Abyss, the source of all my pain came from the realization that I could no longer love you. Even though I know you are innocent, if I continue to love you, it will be a betrayal of my father, of what I know of morality. But you're so cute. ”

He turned, knelt upright on the ground in front of her lap, and looked back slightly, staring at her.

"You were the one I fell in love with at first sight. The more I know you, the more I see how cute you are. At that time, I would even think that if you could be a little less cute, maybe my pain would not be so ......."

He shook his head and laughed at himself, "How foolish and self-deceiving I am! ”

"It's exactly what you think. On the night of the siege, I let go of many things that I had not been able to enlighten before. At the last moment before leaving the city, what I thought about most was not the upcoming war, but you, my sister-in-law. The one I can't give up the most in my heart is you. I asked myself, will my father and my mother, who have spirits in heaven, be disappointed in me because I love you and can't forget you? ”

"I asked myself, if I die now, and you will remember me in the future, and the last impression will be only the pain I have brought you. Do I really have no regrets? Therefore I will leave you a book on the fish talisman. Sister-in-law, I'm just so selfish, people die, I still hope you can remember, I will always miss you......"

Tears rolled down from Su Yu's eyes one by one.

She stretched out her arms and hooked the neck of the man who was still kneeling at her feet, and pressed his forehead against his forehead, choking slightly.

"But when you returned, why didn't you come into the city to look for me at once? I thought...... I thought you regretted what I did in the past......"

"I'm not sorry. I survived. and as thou hast said, he shall live unto death. As soon as the war was over, I couldn't wait to come back early, I wanted to let you know that I was not my own, but on the night I came back, I suddenly panicked again. You are a princess, how noble, I fear that you will not forgive me, if that is the case......"

"What will you do then?" She asked.

"I will always be your knife to protect you and Little Tiger." He said in a low voice.

She was silent for a moment, holding his handsome face, kissing indiscriminately, and gasping for breath, "Didn't you ask me when I liked you too?" I don't know it myself. I only know that very early, or when I saw you go to Luzhou in order to find me, or when I fell into the water, you were worried about my life and death, and searched day and night. I know you, there are too many things, I don't know when, I have broken my heart for you. ”

"I have another secret, and my Aya doesn't know it. When I was in Cangshan, I forced you to be my colt. On my wedding night, I tell you that I am fulfilling the duties of a princess for the sake of the court, for my Aya. That's the truth, but it's not the exact truth. ”

She and him kept grinding their ears and temples, "At that time, in my heart, there was also secret hope. I hope nothing happens, so I can have you as my husband ......"

Her words disappeared into a long, intense kiss.

Qingtou, who returned to Chang'an three days ago, was asleep tonight, suddenly received an order from the master, got up and went to do something, and finally rushed to the designated place, after completing the heavy task, Changchang breathed a sigh of relief, and then squatted in the dark where the princess could not see, with his back to the male and female masters, looking at the nose and nose, looking at the heart, after a long time, I couldn't help it, secretly turned back, far away, saw that the male owner had recalled the golden crow, and rode with the princess, but forgot him, and wanted to go back to the city.

"Lang Jun! Princess! Wait for me! ”

Qingtou jumped up, rushed out, shouted loudly, and chased after him.

Chapter 159

The day of the ceremony came as scheduled.

Pingdan, in the rumbling street drums that resounded throughout the city in Chang'an, thousands of doors were opened.

At auspicious times, triumphal music resounded in the city. From the Kaiyuan Gate to the Imperial Palace, there are enough to accommodate dozens of horses side by side, and the two sides of Qu Street are full of people who spontaneously gather from all directions.

The returned soldiers who participated in today's prisoner sacrifice are all meritorious service. They were dressed in snow-bright armor, riding high-headed war horses on their hips, lined up in a neat procession, passing through the open gate that was open for them, walking in front of the Zhenguo Tower standing beside them, and marching towards the palace in the bursts of cheers one after another.

The emperor was dressed in twelve chapters, dressed in a black robe, wearing the crown of the emperor with twelve crowns, and a canopy of guards, sitting on the towering city tower in the middle of the outer court, and the sky was threatening. In the square in front of him, hundreds of civil and military officials stood in solemn formations, the guards were in line, and Huang Lu was a guard of honor.

The procession marched to the main gate of the palace, behind the gate, a straight and wide royal road, leading directly to the city tower, Jin Wu held a halberd, and stood on both sides. The 1,000 people who walked in front continued to walk on the royal road, the men and horses were majestic, the horses' hooves were trampling the ground, and the sound shook the ground.

Arriving at the location of the dismounted bridge, the marching chief of the battle ordered Hu Gong to dismount. He led the twelve main generals behind him, including Pei Xiaoyuan, Xue Mian, He Du, and Yu Wenzhi, and strode to the front of the city tower, knelt down to the emperor on the throne, and loudly reported the results of the battle.

He Jin, Chen Shao, Liu Bo, Gu Twelve and others are also at the forefront of today's team because of their courage to kill the enemy and their outstanding military achievements. How to Jin Chen Shao, Liu Bo and others are just that, they all have their own experiences in the past, but today's occasion is unprecedented for Gu Twelve, who was born in the market. At this moment, although everyone looks solemn and majestic, in fact, how excited they are in their hearts, you can imagine.

“…… The minister ordered Hu Gong, on the orders of His Majesty, to rebel against the thief. Relying on the power of heaven, the three armies worked together to kill the thief bravely, and the mighty spirit shook the enemy. Fortunately, he did not disgrace his life, and in one fell swoop, he captured the head of the thief chieftain and dedicated it all to Tianjing......"

Linghu Gong's loud voice resounded in the square, and it was also sent to a duty room located at the back of the city tower.

Su Yu accompanied Li Xu, and the two sat quietly together, listening to the sound coming from outside.

Li Zhi is also wearing a crown and a gown today. The crown on his head is decorated with nine chapters, and the gown is also nine chapters. Except for the number of nine, the rest are the same as the emperor.

After the completion of Linghu Gong's sacrifice of prisoners, the criminal department Shangshu read out the indictment on behalf of the emperor, ordering the captives offered today and Wang Zhang's henchmen who had previously failed to plot the chaos to be beheaded, and sued the Taimiao, and then, it is another extremely important content today: Li Yu was named the emperor's grandson, and the announcement was announced, so that all the people would know.

As the booking process passed one by one, the young man's expression, which had been extremely calm, gradually became uncontrollably nervous.

"The emperor's edict: I inherit the destiny of the heavens, the king is in the eight extremes, and within the land, I am all bare-like, and if it is not the ten evils, it is advisable to reform myself. Today, there are rebels and rebels, colluding with each other, jumping off the beam, arrogant and violent, daring to make Shuo indifferent, and it is difficult for Qianli to ......"

The sound of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department reading the holy decree was followed by the transmission.

"Our country and my dynasty, benevolence and grace are vast, the whole world, salt makes peace and tranquility, and all those who abandon evil and think obediently will be gracious. If you don't obey the admonition, you dare to have a fierce heart, and you will fight hard and fight against ugliness......"

As many prisoners and criminals were escorted out, there was a deafening sound of killing in the square.

"Auntie, I'...... Does it really work......"

In the sound of Shangshu's decree, Li Yu suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Yu, who was sitting with him.

His hands were clasped tightly and he was straight on his lap, his body stiff.

"I ...... I'm still worried, I'm afraid I won't be able to do ......"

He was a little ashamed, and whispered, and the beads in front of the crown intertwined with the movements of his head violently, and hung on the crown lid.

Since the spring of last year, when the imperial court fought, he was quietly sent to the Eastern Capital, in addition to studying and practicing the law, he also accompanied Pei Ji to patrol the alleys of the remote villages and experience the four seasons of farming.

"Sage teachings, you must know much more than your aunt." Su Yu said, "My aunt doesn't know how to teach you. ”

"Can you tell your aunt what you learned the most about last year?"

Li Yu was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Auntie, can I say it?" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

"In the past, I longed for the prosperity of Jingsheng, and I thought that before that turmoil, the four seas were peaceful, everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the world was free of hunger. Last year, my wife and I traveled all over the countryside, and we know how difficult it is for people's livelihood! What surprised me even more was that I had heard the white-haired old farmers say more than once that they were doing much better now than they were twenty years ago. In the last years of the Jingsheng Dynasty, the endowment was continuous, and the poor subjects were heavy, and they were not allowed to rest at four o'clock a year. It is difficult to have a bumper harvest, and only porridge and vegetables can barely feed the stomach, if it is a famine year, people who sell their fields and children abound, and even leave their hometowns and have no home. And the place I went to was still near the Eastern Capital. Think of the size of my country, in those remote places—"

He was so excited that he stopped.

Su Yu nodded.

"Yes, these were also experienced by my aunt when she was away in the early years. Therefore, Mrs. Pei can say, as a monarch, how should you deal with it? ”

"Banggi is thousands of miles, and the people stop. Virtue is only good governance, and government is to support the people. Li Xu said slowly.

"Princess!"

At this time, outside the door of the duty room, Guo Guoer's respectful voice of invitation came.

"The imperial grandson should come out. Mrs. Pei greeted him personally. ”

Su Yu got up, raised his hand, and sorted out the beads in front of Li Xugon's crown, so that it hung neatly, and then smiled: "Go ahead." As long as you do not forget your feelings at this moment, then the sacrifices of all the soldiers of our Holy Dynasty, whether they are here today or no longer there, will be worth it. ”

Li Yu gritted his teeth, slowly, but nodded vigorously.

Pei Ji took the official and was waiting outside.

Su Yu sent Li Yu to the door. He walked a few steps, and suddenly, he turned around again, bowed respectfully to her, and after a salute, finally, he got up and walked towards Pei Ji and the others.

“…… King Xizhe received the picture, and went to the saint to set an example. Standing with virtue, then Wang Ji Xingzhou, with noble and promoted, then Emperor Ming Dinghan. Today, there is the Xin'an Wangzhi, Yilan Yuzhi, the most benevolent and filial piety, Chenghua is empty, and the land is tied to the heart...... It is advisable to establish a teaching as the emperor's grandson, to guard the instrument and inherit the mystery, to consolidate the eternal generations, and to ...... all countries with chastity"

After reading the edict of the emperor's grandson, the edict was sent down to the city tower. Li Zhi knelt down, raised his hands high and took it, and bowed to the emperor.

Then, the civil and military officials, the Janissary Guard, and all the triumphant soldiers who participated in the sacrifice of prisoners, starting from Ling Hugong and Pei Xiao Yuan, followed Li Yu and saluted in the direction of the emperor.

The cry started from the square and expanded beyond the walls of the palace. The soldiers outside the Danfeng Gate followed and knelt down and shouted. The sound spread out wave after wave, and the people on the street followed one after another, joining the ranks of Shanhu.

The emperor slowly got up from the throne of the city tower, and the rain in the corner behind him quietly came up and supported him. Waiting, suddenly she turned her head again and looked at the bottom of the castle tower.

On the square, thousands of people are worshipping together, like ants gathering. However, in the dense crowd, she still saw that figure at first sight, clear and clear, and the wind was like a pine.

Like everyone else around him, he was bowing his head, and when she looked back, he slowly raised his head and looked up.

In the crowd, the two eyes met from afar.

"What are you looking at?" The Emperor paused with her, waited for a moment, and then suddenly asked.

"Look at me Pei Lang." She whispered.

The corners of the emperor's lips, which had been pursed, moved slightly.

In the sound of long live rushing into the sky behind her, she helped the emperor and went down the tower.
