In the courtyard, the walls are collapsed and overgrown with weeds, which was originally very ruined, and the remnant sun in autumn adds to the desolate atmosphere. However, the appearance of this woman changed everything. Even the autumn wind of slaughter seems to give birth to a hint of spring.

The setting sun inlaid a layer of gold on the woman's plain clothes, supporting her soft face, which was enough to make all beings fascinated, let the gods and Buddhas fall into the mortal dust, and make all the beautiful women in the world together ashamed.

Liu Yu stopped running and slowly approached the woman.

The woman really found him and looked at him with a smile, "General, I didn't expect to meet you here after four years." ”

General was his official position when he commanded the Khitans on the grassland, and in the past four years, no one has ever called him that again.

In the past four years, time has changed. Some people died, some people went against their original will, but the tone of the woman in front of her did not change.

Her beauty and her original intention have always been there, and they have not changed with the vicissitudes of the world.

Liu Yu stood dumbfounded, almost forgetting that time was passing, and only after a long time did he reply: "I came to pay homage to the place where the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty once lived." What are you doing here, Anniang?"

When he spit out the words An Niang, his throat fluttered a little, "Maybe I should call you Xie Duyan." ”

Xie Duyan smiled, there was something shiny in his eyes, "My heart will be warmer when I come here, even a piece of broken tiles is warm, and things here always make me feel that my father is still alive." ”

"Come back to Dali Temple with me, it's safer there. Liu Yu blurted out.

Xie Weiyan smiled and shook his head.

Four years ago, she not only left the grassland, but also left herself at that time. She used to be a vassal of those shameless men on the grassland, an admirer of the Bronze Horse, and now she has finally become herself, and she does not want to lose this precious self-esteem again.

The twilight wind blew her beautiful black hair, and she stood in the wind and said, "I have been wandering for the past four years, and have been to the ends of the earth and to the cape. Everywhere I go, I think to myself how happy I would have been when I had seen these beautiful landscapes if my father hadn't died, or if I hadn't experienced what had happened next. ”

She choked up a little at this point, so she stopped and didn't speak again. Her self-esteem does not allow her to cry at will. She looked at the familiar face of the young man in front of her and smiled, "You go back!"

Liu Yu lowered his head and sighed deeply, "Come with me, a long time ago, I promised Master Fu Wei Tunan to take care of you for the rest of my life." ”

"Wei Tunan?" Xie Duyan was a little surprised, she never seemed to have heard this name, so she smiled mischievously: "Now I live a very fast life, but I don't need to be taken care of by others." ”

"Don't you believe it? Master once used the pseudonym Cui Dongyang to hang pots in Hebei to help the world. He said that there was a monk Puzhen in the Hanging Temple of Cuiping Peak in Jinlong Gorge who entrusted him to take care of Princess Liu Ge on the grassland. Later, the master died, and before he died, he made me promise to take care of you. Liu Yu explained seriously.

What was an unintentional promise at the beginning has now become a life-saving straw that he desperately wants to grasp. He wanted to leave Xie Duyan behind and dock in this bitter sea of lovesickness.

The sea of bitterness is really too bitter.

"Jinlong Gorge, Cuiping Peak, Hanging Temple. Xie Duyan picked up a strand of sideburns with his little finger and recalled carefully, "That is the place where my second uncle became a monk, and I have visited the old man's house in the past few years, but the temple has long been empty, and the person has passed away." ”

"Monk Puzhen, I saw him yesterday, why did he pass away?" Liu Yu was a little surprised.

Xie Duyan smiled faintly, "There are many monks in the world who are called Puzhen, and there is not only one Jade Feilong. When his father was convicted, the Xie family was beheaded, and the second uncle escaped because he became a monk in his early years. The second uncle is magnificent, proficient in Buddhism, and a hero in martial arts, so many people mistakenly think of him as the famous Jade Feilong. ”

Liu Yu nodded, "If that's the case, there is a basis." ”

He thought to himself: "What would happen if he met the real Jade Flying Dragon?"

The result was hard to guess, and even he thought it was a very wonderful thing.

Xie Duyan wrapped his jade hand in his sleeve and smiled lightly, "The general's burden is very heavy now, and it is not suitable to stay in this deserted place for a long time, so it is better to leave early." ”

Liu Yu let out a long sigh, understanding that her words were tantamount to an eviction order, "If I want to see you again, how can I contact you?"

Xie Duyan blinked, and his red lips opened lightly, "There are a lot of troublesome things inside and outside Chang'an City now, which are enough for the general to be busy, where is the turn to think about these trivial things?"

However, she was reluctant to make the man in front of her sad after all, so she added another sentence and comforted: "If there is fate, we will always meet again." ”

Liu Yu smiled bitterly, "You take care, if there is something, come to Dali Temple to find me......" Speaking of this, his voice was a little choked, and he couldn't go on.

......

Liu Yu couldn't remember how he left Xie Mansion. He sat on horseback with his head shaken, like a patient with a chill.

He was indeed sick, sick with lovesickness.

When a loved one is close at hand but out of reach, this stubborn illness becomes stronger.

As soon as he rode his horse into the threshold of Dali Temple, Deputy Secretary Dong Neng rushed over to report, "My lord, there is something that is not good, and I think I have to report it to you." ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Yu turned over and dismounted, ordering the servants to take the mount away.

"The imperial court sent a eunuch to announce a holy decree, saying that Lord Sun Yu was appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Dong Neng reported with a sad face.

He, the deputy secretary, was appointed by Lord Zhengqing, and there was no imperial decree, so he couldn't be said to be orthodox at all. That Lord Sun Yu's Shaoqing was sealed by the emperor himself, and he was the deputy of Dali Temple. Once Sun Yu comes to Dali Temple on an errand, his position as deputy secretary will inevitably be lost, and all his efforts for so many days will be in vain.

Liu Yu nodded after listening to Dong Neng's words, the reason why he deliberately gave up Shaoqing and created the non-existent position of deputy secretary was to avoid anyone in the DPRK from criticizing him for dividing officials without authorization.

Unauthorized partitioning is a capital offense such as rebellion. Although he was not afraid of death, he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.

Unexpectedly, his original caution left a flaw for himself. And Li Zi, the king of Kui, took advantage of this loophole, and this time he planted Sun Yu next to him as a wedge.

"It doesn't matter, no matter what the outside says. In addition to me, this Dali Temple belongs to you. Liu Yu had to comfort Dong Neng with gentle words, "I'll go to that Sun Yu and ask for an understanding." ”

"Sir, don't look for him, he's waiting for you in the study. Dong Neng replied worriedly.

"Oh. Liu Yu smiled slightly, and immediately understood that the other party had come prepared.

In the study, Sun Yu drank tea in a big way, and kept brushing the tea leaves floating on the water with the lid of the cup, "Lord Liu, now the two of us are colleagues, and we will have to work together to manage this Dali Temple in the future!"

Liu Yu smiled and said: "Lord Sun is not a prime minister, come to me to be a little deputy, I don't know what to do?"

Sun Yu laughed, "It's just a part-time job, the prime minister still has to do it." Now that the DPRK and China are busy with government affairs, this official comes to Dali Temple every two days, don't you mind?"

"Don't mind, it's best if Master Sun doesn't come. Liu Yu went straight to the eviction order, and the smile on his face was happier than anyone else.

"This is not good, the emperor has an edict, and this official must assist you in managing Dali Temple, otherwise it will be considered dereliction of duty. Sun Yu put down the teacup in his hand, straightened his face, and looked at Liu Yu meaningfully.

"The Emperor's edict, are you listening to the deposed emperor or the king of Kui?" asked Liu Yu with a grin.

"King Kui and the emperor are like father and son, and what I listen to King Kui is what I listen to the emperor. Di Xin can't make a comeback, he has already lost his position, and the black crows under his hand have not moved for many days, I'm afraid they can't stir up any storms!" Sun Yu played with the jasper wrench on his finger, and his words were full of sarcasm.
