When Xing Luan rushed to the Zhongshan palace with the holy decree, Yuan Ying was sitting alone in the piano room, he stared blankly at the dozens of guqins placed in the piano room, which was the best products that he had spent his life collecting here, since the return of the Southern Expedition, he often sat in this piano room for a whole day, thinking about nothing in his heart, just sitting there quietly, like a clay wood carving.

Mrs. Yuan sometimes came to him quietly, although she didn't dare to say more comforting words, but seeing that he didn't behave abnormally, it was a comfort to herself.

Mrs. Na Yuan heard from her family that Lord Xing Luan came to the mansion to make an order, and hurriedly went to the door to welcome Xing Luan in. Xing Luan didn't need to open his mouth to know what state this Zhongshan King was in at this time.

"Madam, General Yuan still refuses to come out?" Xing Luan asked in a low voice.

"Lord Xing, thank you for holding Yuan Ying, alas-----, I am also very anxious when I think about it, he has rushed into the piano room since he went home, without saying a word, he refused to come forward to see you last time you came, Yuan Ying is also very uneasy about you like this, my lord, you must not be like him. Mrs. Yuan knew that this Xing Luan had been secretly helping Yuan Ying, but her husband was very stubborn and had to bear all the faults, so that Yuan Ke was furious and put him under house arrest.

"Now that the emperor's decree has been issued, I also ask the general to come out to receive the decree. Xing Luan knew that the only way to force Yuan Ying out was to let him come out to accept the order.

Na Yuanying received a summons from her family, although she was impatient, she had to endure her anger and come to the front hall to see Xing Luan. Xing Luan handed the holy decree in his hand to him: "General Yuan, this is the emperor's holy decree today, you take a closer look." ”

After Yuan Ying opened it and looked at it, he didn't open his mouth for a long time. When this Yuan Ke can use himself, it is a thousand good, and he has won countless battles over the years, but because of the defeat of Zhongli, that Yuan Ke immediately turned his face and wiped out all his past credits, and now this holy decree, although he retained the official position of the general of Pingnan, but he removed the title of King of Zhongshan, and ordered him to return to Ole on a certain day and recuperate at home.

He couldn't understand why the emperor wanted to keep such a position of a great general who had no power for him, and now he was disheartened, and any big general and small general no longer had any meaning to him.

"General Yuan, do you understand what the emperor meant?" Xing Luan asked quietly.

"What don't you understand, if the emperor can use my Yuanying in the future, a holy decree will recall me to Lord ----- Xing, with Yuan Ke's temperament, I'm afraid he won't think of reactivating my Yuanying, right? ”

Xing Luan smiled slightly: "General Yuan is so smart, it is indeed the old man's idea." ”

Yuan Ying sat cross-legged on top of the felt, and said sullenly: "I Yuan Ying has only been defeated once in his life, and the emperor will bite it, if he leads the troops to fight in the future, he will be defeated again, I am afraid that this master will not be able to keep his head." ”

"General Yuan, there are some things you still haven't figured out, no matter how many merits you and I have, it won't be our own, this General Yuan knows better than I think, who are we? We are doing things for the emperor, doing a good job is the emperor's credit, if you don't do it well, it is that you and I have not done our best, contributing to the emperor----- as for the victory and defeat just talked about by the general, there is no victory in this world and there is no eternal victory, and there is no real defeat in defeat, general, you have been accumulating achievements for the emperor for many years, and now Zhongli's defeat, although the emperor is angry with you, but if you take this opportunity to avoid the emperor's edge, away from the capital and return to Eile, it is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"Lord Xing, do you want me to go back to my hometown to recuperate, and come back in the future to continue to work for the emperor?" Yuan Ying said dissatisfiedly, "I'm already too tired, I've worked hard all these years, how many injuries I've suffered, how much suffering I have suffered, just like the truth you just said, what is the use of these things?"

"In today's imperial court, there are many hidden dangers, especially the increasing dissatisfaction of the kings with the emperor, and the emperor is too conniving with the kings, and I am afraid that the country will not be stable for long. ”

"Hmph, I want the current emperor to reuse people like Cui Liang, can this country be stable? That Cui Liang was suddenly killed, I feel a lot happier in my heart, I don't know which hero did it, I want to thank him well when I meet, thank him for the people in addition to a harm. ”

Xing Luan had already guessed that Cui Liang's death must be related to Yuan Xiang, but he couldn't talk about it, he had always treated Yuan Xiang as his daughter, and he would never say anything that was unfavorable to her.

"Let's go----- if I have the chance, I'll go. Xing Luan sighed, "There are too many helpless things in this world, you and I are extremely lucky people, and the things that ordinary people have encountered, I'm afraid we can't afford it at all." ”

Yuan Ying sat there in a daze, and after a while, he suddenly asked: "Lord Xing, it is impossible for me to continue to stay in this Zhongshan Palace, I have dozens of guqins in my collection, and I can't take them all away, if my lord doesn't dislike them, can I take them all away?"

Xing Luan was startled when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Your General Yuan has always been our Great Wei player, and Yu is extremely cherished in this guqin, how can I, Xing Luan, casually win people's love?

Yuan Ying smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Playing everyone? Now I have already figured out these things, what can people leave in this life? How future generations evaluate me, it doesn't matter at all, I was addicted to these guqins when I was young, if I met the qin I liked, I tried all the ways to keep it for myself----- now I think about it, I was really stupid when I was young, I collected so many famous guqins in hand, what is the use?" Once gone, I can't take any of them with me----- no matter how beautiful the sound of the piano they play, it will eventually disappear into the air, never to be seen again. Lord Xing, if you don't want them, I will have to burn them when I leave. ”

"General Yuan, you can't do this. "When Lord Xing thought of those famous qins, if they were really burned by Yuan Ying, it would be a huge loss, "General Yuan, if you are burned, it will be clean, but the people of future generations will never see such exquisite guqins again, and they will no longer hear the beautiful sounds made by these guqins----- General, have you ever thought that if you really do this, the world will talk about you in a hundred years and scold you." ”

"Alas----- the people of the present world must have begun to spit on me, and I have no control over the thoughts of the people of the future. Yuan Ying sighed, "Lord Xing, as soon as I think that after leaving, this place will be trampled by some people who don't know the piano or the piano, so it's better to give them a final destination when they leave." ”

"General Yuan, if you insist on this, then I, Xing Luan, will be cheeky and ask for a few good guqins. When Xing Luan thought of the fate of these guqins, he felt a little distressed, "General, you still have to think twice before doing things." ”

Yuan Ying shook his head: "I have thought very clearly these days, these things outside the body, life does not bring death, and what should be given up is discarded." Please come with me, and I will choose a few of the best guqins for you. ”

He stood up and motioned for Xing Luan to follow him to the piano room, the walls in the piano room were full of all kinds of guqins, Xing Luan saw it, his heart was extremely shocked, that Yuan Ying was the master of the Wei State, he had only heard of it, but he had never seen Yuan Ying's collection, and now at first sight, he understood why Yuan Ying left after burning the qin----- rather than letting those who don't understand them defile these exquisite utensils, it is indeed better to let them leave the world forever and become a swan song.

"Someone. Yuan Ying called out, and when his family walked in, he commanded loudly: "Put these guqins on Lord Xing's carriage." ”

Xing Luan didn't expect Yuan Ying to be so decisive, he wanted to stop it, but Yuan Ying stopped him: "Lord Xing, if I, Yuan Ying, return to Pingcheng one day, I hope you will return a few of my favorites." ”

Xing Luan understood Yuan Ying's true intentions, he was a Fuqin family, naturally he would not let these beloved things disappear, and he was even more worried about putting them in others, only if he put them in Xing Luan's place, he would leave with peace of mind.

The two of them have arguments about the battle situation from time to time, and they have not talked about their good feelings for each other in public, but since the battle of Zhongli, the two of them have been so similar in their state of mind, although they can't be described as confidants, but their minds have become extremely similar because of Zhongli.

Xing Luan looked at these guqins with tears in his eyes, these used to be Yuan Ying's beloved things, and now they are in his hands, that is his beloved things, he looked at these guqins, and for some reason suddenly remembered the metamorphosis, why the metamorphosis died in the snow, and the happiness she pursued in her life was completely shattered at that time.

She is a victim of the struggle for power, and she and Yuan Ying are not victims in the eyes of the emperor? Xing Luan thought of this, tears couldn't stop falling, he saw a qin that was very similar to the guqin left by Cai Yan, so he took a few steps forward and took it down, and he handed it to Yuan Ying's hand: "General will take this qin with him." ”

Yuan Ying looked at him puzzled, this piano is not a good product, why did Xing Luan give this piano to himself.

"General----- after you return to Eile, you may be able to see Yuan Xiang----- Yuan Xiang has been with me for the past few years, I have always treated her as my own daughter----- she is a good child, and has a deep relationship with that incarnation, this Qin Yuan Xiang will definitely love it very much after seeing it. ”

"Sister Xiang----- is she really in the Gulle?" asked Yuan Ying suspiciously.

"I hope she's there----- she's mentioned Eller many times, she's gone since the Battle of Zhongli, and she's not going anywhere else but Ele. Xing Luan thought of Yuan Xiang who disappeared on the battlefield, and I don't know what happened to her now.

"Okay, I took this piano, and when I saw Xiangmei, I gave it to her. Yuan Ying thought of his little sister, she could choose the life she wanted at will, and this freedom was an extremely luxurious thing for him.

"General Yuan, Xing has taken his leave. Xing Luan sighed and said, "Now that the situation is unpredictable, Xing hopes that the general will stay in Ele and enjoy a good life of freedom." ”

Yuan Ying laughed: "That kind of life is the life of my Xianbei ancestors, and now our Xianbei family has already given up the life of our ancestors, and has been sinicized by the Han people, I'm afraid that I won't be able to enjoy that kind of day for a few days." ”

Xing Luan was speechless, yes, their Xianbei clan has always been a nation that gallops freely between heaven and earth, but now like that Nanliang, they believe in Buddhism, wear Hanfu and speak Chinese, completely forgetting their original life, he knows that the Xianbei clan will never go back, and no one can predict the future.

After Xing Luan left, Yuan Ying stood outside the piano room in a daze, the piano room at this time seemed to have lost its previous vitality, those guqins he loved, now they have all arrived in Xing Luan's hands, Yuan Ying felt lost at the same time, and there was a hint of relief, after all, those guqins, can find an excellent home, it is better than burning them with a fire.

Mrs. Yuan quietly came to his side, the weather began to gradually get cooler, Mrs. Yuan put on a coat for him, Yuan Ying reached out and held Mrs. Yuan's hand, at this time he did not dare to have any extravagant expectations for his future.

"Would you like to take you back to Eile?" asked Yuan Ying softly.

"Well, of course I want to go back to Ele. Mrs. Yuan happily replied to him, "I wanted to go back a few years ago, but you insisted on refusing, and you devoted yourself to fighting for that Yuan Ke----- alas, now it's good, you have worked hard all your life, and in the end you will still suffer from the situation of unloading and killing donkeys." ”

Yuan Ying suddenly laughed, this lady of her is a real Xianbei woman, and she is still so upright when she speaks.

"In two days we will depart for Elle. ”

"I'm going to prepare for it, anyway, this palace and the emperor will take it back, and I have nothing to be nostalgic about. Mrs. Yuan looked at the palace where she had lived for many years, although she said that there was nothing to be nostalgic about, after all, she had been here for many years and had become accustomed to the environment in the palace.

"Madam, do you say that Sister ----- Xiang is really in Ole?" asked Yuan Ying with a worried expression.

Mrs. Yuan was stunned for a while, after her life and death, Yuan Xiang never returned to the palace, as for where she would go, she had thought about a few places, and Le was the most likely place for her to go back, but as her husband said, would she really be there?
