CHAPTER XLVII
"Whether she's there or not, we're going back. Mrs. Yuan muttered to him.
Yuan Ying thought of Yuan Xiang who disappeared on the battlefield, his heart began to ache, he hoped that he could see Yuan Xiang in his hometown, but when he thought of Yuan Xiang's temperament, he hesitated, according to her lively temperament, how could she stay in one place.
"Don't think too much, she's not there, let's go back and see." Mrs. Yuan didn't feel much sadness, "Now you have nothing but the empty title of a great general, we are just a civilian, and it is excellent to go anywhere." β
"----- let's go home immediately!" Yuan Ying really let go of all his burdens at this time, and a relaxed feeling made him feel refreshed, "Go back to Ele, that should be the place where my Yuan Ying should stay." β
After Xing Luan went to the Yuan Mansion to make a holy decree, he hurried back to the palace to resume his life, at this time Yuan Ke had returned to his dormitory, and was playing a game of pitching pots with the attendants, and his relative Gao Zhao rushed to the dormitory and informed Yuan Ke of the news that Xing Luan was waiting in the study.
Yuan Ke was in the mood at this time, he frowned, and said to his uncle: "Gao Zhao, you go and listen to what that Xing Luan has to say, if that Yuan Ying obediently returns to Le Le, then it will be a great achievement for Lord Xing." β
"Your Majesty, Xing Luan's move is not for you, the emperor. Gao Zhao said in a weird manner.
"Oh?" Yuan Ke stopped the game in his hand, "What do you mean by that?"
"Your Majesty, why did Xing Luan blindly let Yuan Ying leave the capital? It's not that he was afraid that the emperor would be unhappy one day, and he would slaughter Yuan Ying with one sword. Gao Zhao said in a low voice.
Yuan Ke never thought that Xing Luan's move would have such a deep meaning, he hesitated slightly, that Xing Luan and Yuan Ying have always been at odds, which everyone in the court and the middle of the country knows, if Xing Luan is talking to Yuan Ying, he didn't see it, but Yuan Ke was originally a small-hearted person, and there was no room for a little sand in his eyes, after Gao Zhao's reminder, his dissatisfaction with Xing Luan gradually increased.
"Gao Zhao, you go and listen to what Xing Luan has to say, and the union will not go over again. β
"Obey!" Gao Zhao hurriedly retreated after agreeing.
When he came to the outside of the study, Xing Luan was anxiously waiting outside the door, and Gao Zhao said without yin or yang: "Let Lord Xing wait here for a long time." β
Xing Luan heard Gao Zhao's words, and hurriedly turned around: "Lord Gao, you might as well do something, I don't know when the emperor can come?"
The emperor was not feeling well, and it was inconvenient for him to come over, so he sent the villain over to listen. β
"---- yes. After Xing Luan heard Gao Zhao's words, his heart suddenly sank, the relative Gao Zhao in front of him, relying on the favor of his nephew Yuan Ke, was extraordinarily arrogant in the court.
This Gao Zhao came from a humble background, after he relied on his sister to enter the palace, he won the favor of the first emperor and gave birth to the dragon son Yuan Ke, which rose to the top and became Yuan Ke's favorite courtier, precisely because he was from a humble background, this Gao Zhao was full of jealousy and hatred for the princes of the imperial family, Shi Xue used the favor of his nephew emperor to slander and oppress those princes, and to divide the relationship between them and the emperor, Xing Luan suddenly felt that compared with the threat in front of Nan Liang, the harm of this person was far greater than that of Nan Liang, I'm afraid that I won't get out so easily.
"What do you think about Yuanying having her title taken away?" Gao Zhao asked.
"Lord Gao, that Yuanying knows that the battle of Zhongli is indeed a failure of command, and he has no complaints about the emperor's disposition. Xing Luan replied cautiously.
"Are you telling the truth?" Gao Zhao asked in disbelief.
"Lord Gao, I and that Yuanying have always been incompatible, before Yuanying set out on the expedition, I had already reminded him, don't underestimate that Zhongli, but Yuanying just didn't listen to the words of the lower officials, and as a result, ------ Lord Gao, the lower officials remembered these things, and their hearts hurt. β
After Gao Zhao heard Xing Luan's words, the expression on his face softened slightly, it seems that this Xing Luan and Na Yuanying are indeed at odds with each other, it seems that Na Yuanying does not dare to have any other thoughts.
In this way, after Lord Xing passed the decree, there was nothing else. β
"Exactly, the lower officials just want to come and inform the emperor. β
"No need, you go back, I will go to report to the emperor. Gao Zhao snorted coldly, "What prince, what royal family, if you don't listen to the emperor, your life will not be guaranteed." β
After Xing Luan waited for him to leave, he wiped a handful of cold sweat on his forehead, he was secretly anxious at this time, hoping that Yuanying would leave the capital soon, and it was best never to come back, according to Gao Zhao's meaning, these princes, even if they are afraid of one of them, don't think about a good death. At this time, Xing Luan suddenly wanted to unload his armor and return to the field, and no longer paid attention to the complicated and chaotic situation in the court.
Two days later, in the early morning, before the sky was completely bright, the carriage of Yuan Ying's family left the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty and headed northwest. The farther north he went, the more Yuan Ying felt the strong sense of coolness, and on the grassland under the snow-capped mountains, the sheep were also fat and the horses were strong.
They walked all the way bumpy, about ten days away, Yuan Ying finally saw the prairie of Eile, he grabbed the reins of the horse, and asked Mrs. Yuan who was sitting in the car loudly: "Madam, who else is there in the hometown at this time?"
Mrs. Yuan also replied loudly: "Only the old housekeeper Su Gutu's family guards the cattle and sheep and the Yuan family's fiefdom, and the rest of the people are almost gone." β
Yuan Ying remembered the protrusion of the bones that was a few years older than him, and at this time he had experienced wind and frost on this grassland, and he was afraid that he would not be able to recognize it. He clamped the horse's belly between his legs, the horse began to jog, Yuan Ying's heart, with the horse running, also began to jump wildly, he finally went home, the grass on the grassland, at this time has begun to yellow, those flocks of sheep, eat all round belly, lazily running slowly on the grassland, for Yuan Ying and their arrival, these cattle and sheep are extremely calm, not panicked by their arrival at all, but when Yuan Ying galloped over, they bleated from time to time.
When he came to his father's fiefdom, he found that the tent he had lived in when he was young was no longer in the same place, and he looked around, surrounded by pastures and grasslands, and the servants who guarded the fiefdom did not know where they had moved at this time. He shouted loudly, "Bone protrusion, bone protrusion----- where are you? Where are you? My Yuanying has come home-----
Yuan Ying called loudly, his voice woke up the protrusion of the bones that was napping among the sheep, he hurriedly turned over and climbed up, it was past noon, the color of the sunset in the west gradually thickened, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a team of people and horses in the distance, was slowly moving forward, he hurriedly whistled, followed his old horse for many years, slowly ran in front of him.
After getting on the horse, he hurriedly whipped a few times, and went straight to the group of men and horses, and he shouted loudly as he ran: "The one in front is General Yuan Yingyuan, the king of Zhongshan?"
Yuan Ying saw the horse galloping from a distance, he saw a sturdy shepherd on the horse, shouting his name in a loud voice, this voice is so familiar, the person who came was his playmate from his youth, Yuan Ying replied loudly: "I am Yuan Ying, but the person who came is the Gu Gu protrusion?"
"Yuan Ying, you can be regarded as back. When the horse of the protrusion of the bone protruded in front of Yuan Ying's horse, he strangled the reins hard: "The protruding horse didn't know that General Yuan was coming, and the general should not blame me." β
"Haha-----" Yuan Ying laughed loudly, he turned over and dismounted and said: "I am no longer a general, nor am I a king of Zhongshan, I am just a common man, Su Gu protrusion, how can I, the common people, blame you, the hero of the grassland?"
The protrusion got off the horse and hugged Yuan Ying tightly: "Yuan Ying, you are also old." β
"Bone protrusion, you still can't speak as before, why do you hold on to the truth?" Yuan Ying let go of the bone protrusion and looked at the old friend in front of him carefully, in addition to his dark complexion, his spirit was much better than his own, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "I thought you were going to be older than me, but I didn't expect to realize that it was me who really got older when I met this time." β
After hearing this, Su Gutu also laughed loudly: "Your general thinks about how to lead the troops to fight every day, but I am different, I think about which sheep is fattened every day, and it should be killed and eaten, hahahaha-----"
They both laughed at the same time, and they both got on their horses and walked slowly on.
"Bone protrusion, you are still the same, where the grass is fat. β
"Our ancestors have always lived like this, and I have done the same, following the water, following the sheep, I don't know where the grass is fertilized, but those cows and sheep are much better than us, and they will definitely be found. β
"How has the grass grown on the grassland over the years?"
"The water and grass here have always been abundant, our family grazing here, originally only a few hundred cattle and sheep, in recent years there have been nearly a thousand, sometimes we can't put so much, so the nearby herdsmen help it, but it is also a good harvest every year. Su Gutu said proudly, "The tea, cloth and jewelry exchanged for cattle and sheep are more than those of other princes." That's something that the old man didn't dare to think of when he was alive. When he talked about this, he was quite proud, he had made great contributions to the Yuan family over the years.
Yuan Ying looked at the Gu Zhu protrusion gratefully, this former young man, dedicated his life to the grassland, lived happily on this grassland every day, never had any dissatisfaction and complaints, his state of mind is so big, big enough to tolerate the prairie between heaven and earth. Yuan Ying suddenly realized that he lived in the capital, and the pattern in his heart was far inferior to the bone protrusion in front of him.
Su Gu pointed to the dozen tents connected in the distance: "General Yuan, we are home." β
The protrusion of the bones sang loudly, and Yuan Ying heard him sing about his arrival in Xianbei language, he wanted to stay at home and prepare for the arrival of his relatives.
When Yuan Ying slowly approached the tent, a person came out of the tent, the person was wearing the bright and bright clothes of the Xianbei tribe, and the body was slightly plump, she looked at Yuan Ying with a canopy in her hand, and the sweet smile on her cheeks made Yuan Ying suddenly stiffen, that person was Yuan Xiang, who had disappeared for a long time, Yuan Ying shouted excitedly, Pegasus ran over, and the first thing he did after getting off the horse was to hug the little sister tightly.
"Sister Xiang, Sister Xiang. Won Young shouted excitedly.
Yuan Xiang also looked at the eldest brother with tears in his eyes, this eldest brother was finally willing to return to his hometown, and their brother and sister could finally be their original selves on the grassland of their hometown.
Mrs. Yuan saw Yuan Xiang from a distance, and she couldn't hold back and ran down from the carriage, and pounced straight at Yuan Xiang, Yuan Xiang stretched out his arms and hugged his sister-in-law in his arms: "Sister-in-law, Xiang'er really misses you." β
"My disobedient stupid girl----- how dare you run back here alone?" asked Mrs. Yuan in a choked voice.
"I'll come back and wait for you earlier, sister-in-law Gu Hun, they're too tired along the way, let them in quickly." Yuan Xiang saw Gu Hun's old companion Gu Hun coming out of the tent, so he hurriedly said.
Nagu Hun hurriedly welcomed Mrs. Yuan and Yuan Ying into the tent, and after Yuan Ying and his wife entered the tent, after seeing the scene in front of them, their feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and they couldn't move a single step.
The scene in front of them was definitely not a terrible scene, but the husband and wife would never have imagined that they could see such a bizarre scene.
In the tent lay a cradle of several months of age, which had woken up and was babbling for someone to hug.
When Yuan Xiang saw it, she hurriedly ran over and picked him up from the cradle, she turned around and saw her brother and sister-in-law standing there motionless with their mouths wide open, with a happy smile on their faces: "Big brother, sister-in-law, this is my son, AltaΓ―r." β
