Chapter 200: Farewell to the Arrival of the Plane (1)
Early tomorrow morning, Mei Yuanchen will go out. The situation in the capital was unpredictable, Xia Chengxuan couldn't leave easily, and went west to greet him, so he naturally took it over.
First, he has high martial arts and fast feet, and second, he is the righteous son of Xia Muchao, and there is no more suitable person than him.
"Are you leaving tomorrow morning?" Xia Chengyi asked softly with his head and shoulders leaning on the bed rail. She had only woken up for a short time, her head was still a little drowsy, and her words revealed a thick tiredness, like a tuberculosis who had been ill for a long time.
When I woke up from a dream, I realized that everything was so broken. If she can't wake up, she won't wake up.
Mei Yuanchen sat on the edge of the bed, seeing that the beauty was so sad, he couldn't help but feel pain and pity in his heart, stretched out his hand to hold her pair of cold soft wattles, and replied softly: "Well, according to the obituary of the Ministry of Rites, my father's coffin departed from Tianmen City, and it should still be in Fuzhou now, and there are still ten days to go from the capital." I will rush to Anxian at dawn tomorrow morning, and I will meet the guards in Huanzhou in Fuyang County in three days. Then to the 1,400 miles of the capital, I will walk with the help of the coffin, in the hope that my father-in-law's soul will be in peace, and I will do my filial piety for Cheng Xuan. ”
Xia Chengyi lowered his head and said "um", tears falling from his eyes. Mei Yuanchen hurriedly leaned over, hugged her in his arms, stroked her back, and muttered in his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.
... ...
Xue Ning's study was very empty, behind the bookcase was a map of the Turkic country, in front of the bookcase was a topographical sand table of the Turkic country, and there was nothing else.
In the past few months, he has spent a lot of money to hire husbands who travel to and from the country, and Huang Tian lived up to it, and finally completed this sand table yesterday. When he got up early this morning, he shut himself in his study, carefully comparing the map and the sand table, and shook his head from time to time.
"With the strength of my life, I will definitely wipe out his Duanmu clan to comfort the souls of my father and mother and little brother in the sky!"
With this mental power, it seems that his body has become tireless, and he is a weak rich man, but he can also come and go in the wind and rain, sleep in the open and have picnics, be with the villagers, and walk with the grass.
"There are many mountain obstacles in the north of the country, during which the ravines are scattered, the hills and valleys are scattered, and there are few people who are involved, but there are no people who are good at painting. According to such a crude sand table arrangement, it is really harmless!" The more Xue Ning thought about it, the heavier his heart sank, he exhaled heavily, and sighed in the sky, "Although I have all my strength, my brain is constantly slackening, but after all, things are difficult to do, and the road ahead is bleak." ”
Sadness came from it, it was difficult to control the emotion, after the sound of "bang", the sand table collapsed, it was Xue Ning who kicked on the table leg angrily, and the sand table was not shaken, but it collapsed a piece of the face plate.
Looking at the collapsed sand table, Xue Ning regretted and felt pain, and sat on the ground with a dull gaze.
"Knock! knock!"
... ...
"Knock! knock!"
... ...
"Young Master, Mei Gongzi is here!" the lame old butler called loudly outside. He had called four times before, but he had not heard a reply, and he was really worried that the young master had done something stupid. Just as he was about to break down the door, he saw Xue Ning open the door.
"Uncle Xiang, why did you call out so loudly, but what happened?" Xue Ning stood at the door and asked. Xue Xiang crossed over and saw the person behind him, and his face couldn't help but smile, "Yuanchen, why are you here today?
Suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly turned around and whispered to Xue Xiang: "Uncle Xiang, ask someone to bring a chair." "After Xue Zhen died, Xue Ning was also
has a knighthood, but he is not an official in the court, and the Xue family is in decline.
After Zhenwuguan and Mei Yuanchen separated, a few days later, he led his servants to go south to various places, looking for dart masters and husbands who traveled back and forth to the Turkic country all the year round, and returned to the house at the beginning of the month.
In the months since he left the capital, there was no visitor to the Xue Mansion, but he didn't expect that Mei Yuanchen came to the mansion at this time, and was led straight to the study by the old housekeeper.
When friends visited, there was no tea chair to treat each other, Xue Ning was a little happy and a little ashamed, "Alas, my family is in the middle of the road, and I still remember me in the far dust." ”
Mei Yuanchen didn't think about it much, and when he entered the study, he took a closer look at the sand table. "It took a month of hard work to make this ghost look like this. Xue Ning walked to his side and sighed with a wry smile.
"Xue Ning, have you been making a map of this Turkic country for a long time?" asked Mei Yuanchen as he looked at it. This sand table is square, the fine mud is laid into the base, the hill is shown to the mountain, the square wood is placed to make the city, the hemp rope is used as the road, the branches are inserted, everything is fine, and it obviously took a lot of effort. It's just that the territory of the Turkic country is thousands of miles long, how can this small sand table be complete?
The scholars intersected and treated each other frankly, and Xue Ning replied: "Well, I have traveled to four counties and seventeen states, and found seven masters who have been walking around the country all the year round, and invited them to the mansion It took a month to make this sand table. He glanced at the sand table that he kicked down, his heart was very uncomfortable, sighed and said, "Dahua and the Turkic country will have a war, and I will live for this for the rest of my life! Not to mention the merits of my grandfather and my father, it is that by virtue of following Duanfuzi to learn military affairs for a year and a half, once the two countries go to war, I will invite a 500 or 1,000 masters, and I will still allow it to come to the imperial court. ”
When Emperor Yonghua first ascended the throne, Xue Ning's grandfather was the internal affairs counselor of Zheng Erpin, and then died of illness in the position of counselor. In the shadow of his father, Xue Zhen became a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the third grade at the age of forty, and became a great Sikong from the first grade at the age of forty, and was regarded as a famous capable minister in the world. After Xue Zhen's death, Emperor Yonghua posthumously named him the "Marquis of Wufang", and Xue Ning was also able to inherit the non-hereditary earldom.
There are three types of titles in Dahua, hereditary, hereditary, and non-hereditary.
The titles of the four kings with different surnames are all hereditary, as long as Dahua is not destroyed, the throne will always be inherited by the son, never demoted, and it is the supreme of the title.
The titles of princes, county kings and other royal clansmen are hereditary titles that are downgraded one level from generation to generation. Princesses, marquises, dukes, etc., are not hereditary titles, but usually after the death of the person who inherits the title, the emperor will give another title to his son. However, it is impossible to say how many levels to downgrade, even if you don't give a knight, it's nothing.
At that time, the five first-class ministers were killed overnight, and Emperor Yonghua was able to stabilize the court so much, and Xue Ning was able to inherit the earl title in the year of the weak crown.
"Okay, once there is a war on the border, you and I will go to the frontier side by side!" Mei Yuanchen patted Xue Ning's left shoulder and said with a straight face. Xia Muchao died at the hands of the rebel general Zhao Qianming, and he said to himself countless times that he must kill the enemy and avenge his father-in-law.
"Okay, that's the best!" Xue Ning was overjoyed, stretched out his right hand, and also slapped Mei Yuanchen's left shoulder.
The two looked at each other and thought: It is really a great blessing in life to have such a like-minded classmate.
"Xue Ning, I'm here today, to see you, to say goodbye. Mei Yuanchen put down his hand and whispered to him.
Hearing him say this, Xue Ning was not surprised, after all, no one from the Mei family was in the capital. Just thinking about friends getting together and scattering, I have it in my heart
A little reluctant, he asked, "Are you going to Anham?"
"Hmm. Mei Yuanchen replied.
"It's better to go to Anxian to be next to your father and mother and do your filial piety. Xue Ning smiled bitterly. He is already a lonely man without a father or mother, and it is very important to be able to understand blood relatives the most. Mei Yuanchen was able to return to his parents' knees, and Xue Ning was happy for him.
"I'm not here to accompany my parents. Mei Yuanchen's face darkened, and the sorrow in his eyes grew, "You don't ask about foreign affairs, maybe you don't know, my father-in-law... He is gone. ”
Xue Ning's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears, and said for a while: "Very... What, His Highness the Jaw King..."
... ...
After coming out of Xue's mansion, Mei Yuanchen went straight to the Nanguo restaurant, where he made an appointment with a ram to praise me.
"Mei Gongzi, the prince of the ram is waiting in the Star Picking Pavilion, please come with me. Xu Qigong was waiting outside the building, greeted him from afar, and smiled when he left Zhangyu and saluted.
After the two of them marched a little further, he comforted him softly: "Young Master Mei, I have only heard about His Royal Highness King Jaw, and you should also mourn and change your ways!" His expression was earnest, and his voice was low, as if he had no pretense at all.
The Xu family is the first family of martial arts today, and the word is unwilling to entrench in Ruozhou. Xu Qigong finally climbed to the Jaw Palace, wanting to open up the situation in the capital, but he didn't expect this to happen to Xia Muchao. He is not sad, but his regret is real.
"Well, there's Mr. Lao Xu. Mei Yuanchen was not very interested, and smiled reluctantly.
Xu Qigong didn't say anything more, went ahead first, and led him upstairs.
The corridor of the restaurant is exquisitely carved, and the window stickers are all gorgeous, but Mei Yuanchen has no time to look at it, and goes straight to the Star Picking Pavilion.
... ...
In the northern suburbs of Yinyang City, the two horsemen stopped moving. The two riders, one black and one gray, are both strong and vigorous, showing that they are good horses for thousands of miles.
On the black ride was a black-faced man with thick eyebrows in a black robe, and I saw him arch his hand to the middle-aged man in plain clothes on the gray riding and said: "Mr. Yu, next I want to take the Yinshui Road to Beiye City, you need to take the Hanbian Pass of Xian Ma Country to Dahua Tankou County, and it is the fastest to take the Yinhan Road." Let's just separate here. ”
"Well, Duanmu Chong, don't say goodbye, I wish you a smooth journey!" Yu Lingyi said in return.
The person who rode on was none other than Duanmu Chong, the confidant of Yu Lingyi and Duanmu Yu, who was ordered to do things and came out of Yinyang City Pass together. The old man in Tsing Yi had not yet been brought to justice, and Duanmu Yu did not dare to go out of the city to send him off, so he summoned the two into the palace early in the morning and gave them a drink of candied wine.
"Hehe, thank you. Mr. Yu, I also wish you a speedy return to the palace!" Duanmu Chonglang laughed.
Beiye City was slaughtered by Xia Chengcan, and the corpses were piled up, and Mu Danqing had already led the garrison of Baishan County to take care of it.
Mu Danqing's father and grandfather were both generals of the Turkic Kingdom, and his family style was strong, which cultivated his warlike and brave temperament. Seeing the tragic situation in Beiye, Duanmu Yu was worried that he would not be able to restrain himself, so he sent Duanmu Chong to the camp in Beiye to patrol and hunt. Duanmu Chong went with Jin Ling, and he could take down Mu Danqing first at a critical juncture.
Knowing that there were still descendants of the two major royal families hidden in Dahua, Duanmu Yu made up his mind to let them return to the Duanmu clan and serve the Turkic country. Yu Lingyi went to Dahua with Duanmuyu's token to find relatives.
The two of them said goodbye, drove fast and disappeared at the corner of the mountain road.
