Wang Yi's hand holding the wine bowl froze in place instantly, and his voice was a little astringent: "Uncle, I'm sorry." ”

The old man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and he didn't know why Wang Yi said this, "Little brother is serious, how can there be immortals in war." ”

Wang Yi muttered: "That's different, it's different." ”

Liu Ruyue, who was beside her, suddenly asked: "Da Ming has always said that it was the King of Qi who violated the military order and led the soldiers and the people of Youzhou out of the city, which would lead to the death of the defenders of Youzhou and the soldiers who withdrew from the front line, don't you hate the King of Qi." ”

The old man shook his head, probably because he had been doing it for a long time, and he was a little tired, "What is there to hate, we ordinary people don't understand the things on the battlefield, but His Royal Highness King Qi is the military god of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to make wrong decisions, so ah, I don't understand and don't want to, but sometimes I miss Wenshan a little." ”

Wang Yi got up and saluted solemnly to the old man, the old man was startled, hurriedly got up, and was at a loss for a while, so he had to help Wang Yi up, but Wang Yi did not get up, but said: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

The old man stood there, he had to touch the back of his head, Liu Ruyue said on the side: "Boss, you just accept this worship, he doesn't want to go." ”

Although I don't know why Wang Yi is like this, my husband heard Liu Ruyue say this, and Wang Yi refused to get up for a long time, so he had to say: "Okay, okay, little brother, get up, if it goes on like this, I can't afford this old bone." ”

Wang Yi stood there, looking north, as far as the eye could see, the end of the alley, but what he thought in his heart was to cross the mountains and rivers, cross the rivers, pass in front of the doors of every household, and come to Youzhou.

There, there used to be his father, mother, uncle of King Qi, all the people of King Qi's mansion, and the 30,000 soldiers who were withdrawn from the border.

But now they are all dead, except for Wu Yong, Wang Yi, Qin Keqing, and themselves, they are all dead, including Feng Wenwen, who all died in the spring of Tianbao's fifth year.

"Little brother?"

From Wang Yi's actions just now, the old man could only judge that Wang Yi might have an old relationship with Youzhou, but other old people couldn't see it.

Wang Yi sat down slowly, a bowl of wine went down, and the spicy taste between his mouth and nose was full, but it washed away the sadness in his heart.

"I am from Youzhou, or the person who survived the big battle back then. ”

The old man suddenly realized that the little brother in front of him was a person from Youzhou, and he was one of the survivors of the big battle that year, and the old man felt that the wine in his hand had a little taste of what his son invited him to drink.

"Have you ever seen that little brother... ”

"Yes. Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Wang Yi replied directly, he knew what the old man was going to ask, since he knew that he was the one who survived the Youzhou battle, then the old man naturally thought of his son.

"When General Feng came to Youzhou, I had the honor to have a few words with him. ”

The old man said cautiously: "Then, how was he then." ”

Wang Yi looked a little reminiscing, tilted his head, thought for a while, and said: "Back then, General Feng was the commander of 30,000 soldiers, and he was very majestic. ”

The old man's body sank, like a deflated ball, but his own thoughts, "This is good, good, worthy of my son." ”

After that, the old man drank all the wine in the bowl, stretched out his hand, wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, the fire in the stove in front of him was a little dim, and the old man picked up

side of the firewood, put it inside.

Wang Yi looked at the old man's appearance, I don't know how many families of 30,000 soldiers were like this, in the dead of night, thinking about their deceased son and relatives, and how many people would not blame Uncle Qi Wang like the old man, very few? Maybe, maybe.

The old man does not understand the grievances and grievances between the Northern Qi and the Ming Dynasty, nor does he understand the various estrangements between the vassal king and the emperor, living in Chang'an City, this prosperous capital, the old man may not understand the harm of the Northern Qi cavalry to the Ming border all his life, living in Chang'an City for nearly 50 years, the old man has never seen what those people in the Northern Qi look like.

If it weren't for his son who had to join the army, he might have become a big official a long time ago, and the family lived in a tall mansion, and the old man teased his grandson, took care of his old age, and enjoyed the joy of family.

But his son died at the border, as a father in addition to heartache, but also proud, look at my son, who has been the commander of 30,000 soldiers, and died with the Ming Dynasty's military god, the old man after today, and then brag with his old friends, he may be more proud, and also have capital.

An ordinary person can live a peaceful life, that is what he thinks in his heart, what he can reach, his wife is gone, his son is gone, and he is left alone.

The old man thought of a word, and he was alone.

It seems that his son told him back then, but when he was old, he forgot it.

The old man didn't know when he would die in his room, and no one cared about him, but it seemed that he hadn't seen the place where his son died, so it didn't work.

The old man made up his mind, after today, the business of oily noodles will not be done, so he will go to Youzhou to have a look first, and then come back. Let's see if we can bring back my son's bones, as the old saying goes, you can be buried in the ground.

Wang Yi got up and decided to leave, he couldn't stay here, he was going back to the Honglu Temple Hall, maybe he couldn't even go to the teahouse, he had been out for too long, and the Ministry of Rites would have to check some details of the gift with the Nanchu Mission tomorrow, not too late.

"Father-in-law, Wang Yi, a person from Youzhou, thank you for having such a good son. ”

The old man was flattered and hurriedly returned the salute, "Little brother Wang Yi is serious, but I won't be setting up a stall tomorrow, old man." ”

Liu Ruyue stood up slowly and stretched her waist, the clear soup on the table had already been drunk by Liu Ruyue, and only an empty bowl remained.

Wang Yi was a little surprised, and then asked, "My husband is no longer setting up a stall, what are you going to do?" ”

The old man smiled, revealing his only front teeth, and said, "Go to the battlefield where my son was alive and take a look, and see if you can bring back the bones of the paperwork. ”

Wang Yi nodded, put the silver money in the old man's hand, the amount was so large that the old man was a little overwhelmed, and said a little embarrassed: "Little brother, this is too much, I can't find it." ”

Wang Yi shook his head and pushed back the old man's hand that wanted to return his money, "Uncle, you can take it, in a few days, when the New Year comes, I may also have to go back to Youzhou, can you invite me to drink at that time?"

When the old man heard Wang Yi's words, he had no choice but to hand his own money, and smiled, "That's good, when the time comes, I will have to bother the little brother to lead the way, I want to invite the little brother to drink the best wine in Youzhou." ”

Wang Yi smiled and said: "The best wine in Youzhou is the peach blossom brew, but the most flavorful wine is unknown to people." When the time comes, the old man will have to drink a few more glasses. ”

The old man grinned, "That's nature. ”

Anyway, King

Yi nodded, and left with Liu Ruyue, from beginning to end, Liu Ruyue, the princess of Southern Chu, did not disturb Wang Yi and her father-in-law, involving Daming and Northern Qi, and she, a native of Southern Chu, was the least qualified to participate.

The old man stood in front of his stall, waved his hand gently, and said goodbye to Wang Yi and Liu Ruyue who were leaving, the cold wind blew and the lights swayed, shining on the old man's face.

The old man who used to feel a little sad at the end of the year is very happy today, even when he sees those old friends of his own with their grandchildren out to bask in the sun, he will not be so uncomfortable.

Damn, Lao Tzu's sons are all commanders of 30,000 people, and he didn't come in vain, when Xu Laoguo was the general of 300,000 people.

So as Feng Wenwen's Lao Tzu, how could he be so unbearable, he will set off tomorrow without delaying for a moment.

After walking a few streets, Wang Yi and Liu Ruyue came to a small bridge, where Wang Yi stopped and sat on a railing made of stone on the side.

"The princess doesn't know when she will test Wang?"

Liu Ruyue smiled like a flower, leaned on the railing with one hand, looked at the icy river, and said with a smile: "Where did Lord Wang start with this?"

Wang Yi glanced at the red lantern on the corner of the street, which was constantly swaying with the cold wind, "Do you really want Wang to explain?"

"The first time she came out of Honglu Temple, the princess first wanted to disturb Wang's mind with her own charms. The second time, the teahouse selected by the princess is the spy stronghold of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and if you want to enter, it is nothing more than to test the intelligence system of Jinyiwei, don't tell me that you don't know, I won't believe it. ”

"The third time, you want to drugged the oily noodles, and although I don't know what kind of medicine you did, I'm curious as to why you gave up. ”

Liu Ruyue stood there, her expression calm, touching her abdomen, seeing that Wang Yi recognized herself, but there was no panic.

"Tut-tut, worthy of returning home, such a secret thing has been discovered by you, but I won't tell you why I gave up in the end. ”

Wang Yi held the ground with a long sword and looked at the Shaohua princess, Liu Ruyue, who was favored among the more than 20 princes and daughters of Southern Chu.

"It seems that you know a lot about Da Ming. ”

"With each other, Lord Wang's Jinyi Wei also knows a lot about Da Chu. ”

Liu Ruyue looked at Wang Yi with a smile, she suddenly felt that Wang Yi, who was serious, was so cute, much more than the people she had seen in front of her and trying to attract her attention.

"Why is Lord Wang so hostile to me, it's just a temptation, so I won't be angry. ”

While speaking, Liu Ruyue put the pig's head mask in her hand on her face, and in front of Wang Yi, she shook left and right, Wang Yi grinned, there is no evidence for such a temptation, and he can't do anything to Liu Ruyue, but you Liu Ruyue is the princess of Nanchu, and this kind of appearance will make those who admire you drop their jaws.

Liu Ruyue made a move that made Wang Yi a little unexpected, she bent down slightly, slowly approached Wang Yi, and then took off the pig's head mask on her face in an instant and kissed Wang Yi on the face.

Wang Yi touched the face kissed by Liu Ruyue, he was a little afraid of Liu Ruyue, he was afraid from his heart, because he didn't know what Liu Ruyue was thinking in his heart, and he didn't know what amazing actions Liu Ruyue would make in the next second.
